Petition for USTREAM version of the BOMBCAST LIVE!

I love the bombcast, like most of the users of Giantbomb but I think the best way to listen is to watch the podcast. Maybe instead of putting the whole 2 hour thing on iTunes, make a uStream channel and we could watch it live. I think it could be something to experiment with. If you like this idea just post on this topic, also provide more ideas to move the bombcast forward in the future.

I don't think it would be that great of an idea because the audio would be pretty bad. I'd rather just wait for the downloadable version for the higher quality of sound.

I think it's fine how it is. What makes watching dudes talking better then just listening to them? And really if they did stream it, I wouldn't be watching it anyway, I'd only be listening. Seems pointless to me.

Nah

Ryan has said before he wouldn't do it because they have to edit it because they sometimes accidentally talk about things they should are not allowed to talk about. 

We have no plans for live broadcasting the podcast as it's being recorded. 

Or, to put it another way... 

NEVER.

no thanks.

OH WELL at least my question was answered

I don't know about the regular Bombcast, but maybe for a game discussion. You know, like the special Bombcasts they've done for games like MW2 and MGS4. They are shorter, there is little worry of talking about things they aren't supposed to discuss yet, and they're more focused. But even then I wouldn't even care. I love the Bombcast because it gives me something to listen to the next morning. I rarely listen on Tuesday nights when it comes out.

I'd watch it but I can see why they don't do it live. They have to be very careful about what they say to avoid breaking embargo's etc and sometimes they probably slip up during recording.

I think Jeff just put the kibosh on the idea, but I still have some hope that maybe (MAYBE) the crew might consider it for a special podcast or something.

This, and I wouldn't want to sit with my laptop for two hours watching 4 guys talk at a table. "

I'm sorry, but there's just no fun in watching people talk without any movement or action. Nope. No way. 
 

quality would probably suck, no thanks

...but ComicVine does it, and it's quite enjoyable.  Granted, I don't know if they have nearly as big of a listening crowd, but it would still be super fun, ESPECIALLY with the drink testing!  THAT'S IT!  A DRINK TESTING PODCAST!  I'll totally send you guys some Shiner Bock and Ziegenbock for it!

I would also watch a live uStream of the bombcast.

They should do it at least once. I want to experience this.

I don't really want to watch a stream of 4 people just sitting around talking about video games. I prefer Bombcast on the go.

I wouldn't mind one like once every 3 months or something along with an audio version, but only because I usually listen to the Bombcast away from home/computer most of the time.
