According to Ryan's twitter, the New Yorker referred to the Giant Bombcast as "charmingly garrulous" and said it was similar to "Car Talk" but with knowledgeable gamers. They even directly quoted Ryan Davis talking about the neck and face stabbing in Assassin's Creed II.

Charmingly Garrulous.
Goddamn those words sound so posh. I declare that I too am now Charmingly Garrulous.
I think I'll actually rename myself that.

@ThatFrood: So you're especially talkative, especially on trivial matters?

Indeed. Some have even said it to be "charmingly" so.

Now we can all truly call ourselves a bunch of elitist jerks. The entire GB community should give itself a pat on the back. Well done all.

Ryan's quote made me laugh so much. It's so hilariously informal relative to the rest of the article.

Congrats to the crew on this mention. Now every high-class civil minded worker who reads that will listen to one bombcast, but little do they know that the bombcast is more addicting than meth. Slowly but surely they will stop working as they listen in, the itch of waiting a week will set in and they won't be able to concentrate, over time the working class of America will break down.

It's better than those nude photos leaked to the National Enquirer... they were charmingly gratuitous.

That's actually a really good interview. The guy knows what he's talking about.

Hope Whiskey Media's servers can handle all the web-traffic from NewYorker readers coming in to check the site.

I still imagine the New Yorker's response to listening to the Bombcast to be something along the lines of this:

@DonutFever: I believe that is because people want that "Have 5 people you are following on at the same time as you" quest. I've been getting loads of follows as well.
