The Bombcast is/was at its worst when...

Wait what!?!

The Bombcast is never "at its worst" cause its always good.

I voted for C not because it's bad, but because it's the most known quantity going in and the least funny things happen in them..... I also don't like when they shit on Kingdom Hearts.

The "what have you been playing" conversation that never seems to end on the majority of episodes (especially during the fall-winter) is the worst. The fucking WORST. Listening to the asinine amount of LA Noire talk that happened last year after that came out caused me to stop listening for a while. You'd get literally 90 minutes of talk about that fucking game on multiple episodes.

Conversation like that is not the least bit interesting and (not that this is the main intent of the podcast to begin with) it makes listening to old episodes unbearable.

Then on top of that, the fucking retarded community votes "guest appearances" as the current front runner? Yeah, sure. Because "Michael Cera is....Halo" and the Sherlock Holmes 6 talk was so bad, right? If you're talking about Hilary whatsername, then fine. But having guests in makes things much more interesting, especially because they do it sparingly.

bad poll

I dislike the racism.

None of these, but News is pretty boring. I can read that any where.

None of those are inherently bad.

These are all good things. Guests can be hit or miss, but they usually bring a lot to the show. I voted for Brad saying emails just because I think that's a funny thing to complain about.

Yeah, I think the Bombcast is at its worst when it's merely "good".

Whenever Vinny isn't there.

The sexual tension can be quite uncomfortable.

Whenever they talk about boring-ass MMOs. Found myself falling asleep and waking up again during certain bombcasts.

Non of the options available to me do I dislike.

When PAX questions

I only picked beverage tastes because that was before I started listening. Also kind of bad that guest appearances are winning, don't think that would make people outside of the bombsquad want to go on it

Im not gonna pick anything. Because I like it when they do all those things. You'd obviously pick A, huh?

None of them are bad.

There should be an answer called "When Patrick is on it".

K. When they talk about arcade machine minutia for half an hour.

Ok, actually, I choose this too.

INSIDE jokes.

can't stand when they do that. "friend X did Y, hahahaha, that is so X."

"News of the World, Industry talk and the discussions/predictions/debates it creates"

news coverage on podcast bores me quite often. it rarely leads to insightful discussion and is mostly just cynical jokes thrown around, wild predictions that don't make any sense or useless negativity.

all the other stuff is fine (though I'm glad the beverage tasting is gone)

Delicious :-)

Obviously when something hilarious happens.

I'm sorry dude, but this is a badly worded and formed poll. Absolutely no useful information can come out of it. Was entertaining to think about though.

Also, GBombcast is at it's worst when jeff and/or vinny isn't there. I love me some jeff/vinny, ever since persona 4 ER.

None of these is the right answer

I don't see why the guest appearances are winning. Usually, a guest is hilarious (Like Adam Sessler was) or really quiet and let the original cast do all the talking.

I generally like Bombcast, and cannot really say there is an episode I dislike. Although I think game podcasts in general should have the people work out the "what have you played" bit before going live. Just to reduce the: What have you played? Answer: Nothing. Its such a frequent result, maybe greater than half the time, and would be better off dropped (although certainly understandable, its a bit scary how a "free" weekend can go by with 0 gaming due to misc house keeping).

Leigh Alexander is the best thing to ever happen to the Bombcast :P

K. When they talk about arcade machine minutia for half an hour.

I was hoping for an option of "It's worst when I can't hear it".

I can't believe people prefer them talking about games than other stuff. Wrong podcast duders, wrong podcast.

Agreed. Especially during the Summer months, when I'd rather hear (genuinely) an hour long discussion about what Jeff or Ryan did at the weekend instead of someone talking about an obscure XBLA title they tried.

All of those things on that list are great (as long as there's a balance and we don't get an entire podcast about drinks for example).

when vinny says inappropriate things like the C-word

it hurts my soul

I would answer this poll if it was

The Bombcast is/was at its best when...

cause those are all pretty positive things I can chose from

Like I said elswhere on this site, I don't mind if they talk about non-game related stuff, it's just that it sometimes lasts far too long. There have been episodes where they were talking nonsens for well over 45 minutes.

I sometimes tune out when they talk at length about MMOs. Apart from that I enjoy every bit of it!

I always feel like they're aping the Nintendownload express whenever they read the e-shop stuff.

I went with guest appearance. It's mostly just a bad thing when the guest delves into something I don't care about or ever intend to play. The same could be said about the regular bombcast too though .

N/A

I'm really only interested in hearing what they have to say about games I'm interested in or even film. :)

how can I see the results without voting?

bombcast and worst in the same sentence does not compute

I don't like when they have guests on because having someone on usually makes them want to talk about specific things and it keeps the conversation way to grounded and focused. My favorite part of the Bombcast is how random it can all be.

I don't like emails, it almost feels like a contest to see whom can send in the most ridiculous nonsensical questions and it's gotten boring.

Never, the bombcast is awesome at all times

@Synaptic said:

a certain guest speaker who popped up around E3 a few times.... made the bombcast terribly annoying to listen to.

This times a million.

When it ends.

I voted for Brad says emails, because I like all of those things and wanted to see the results.

All of these are what make a Bombcast.

News of the world because I've usually already read about all the news that week. Not that I dislike it, it's just the part I like the least.

Also, random tangents and all the non-game stuff is the best part by FAAAAAAR. That's what the podcast has always been about and if it ever changes I'll have a mini-riot at my computer desk.
