I chose that title hesitantly but obviously, Mr J. was the big draw.
 
I would have preferred the title "Best Bombcast Ever", and with good reason. The guests represented some sort of perfect storm of game development in it's various forms.
 
The Cowboy was there as one of the hugely important cogs in the expertly oiled machine that is Naughty Dog,  the Double Fine  guys represented the section of the industry that cannot believe how lucky they are to have landed their dream job and then there was Jaffe, who has probably had to knife a few people to get his games made.
 
Jaffe was great here, offering insights into the devolopement  process, challenging Jeff about the review process (unsurprisingly, Mr Gerstmann had plenty of answers), his obvious bristling at how Double Fine make games  and his (undeclared)  fervent  wish that he had somebody with the the level of expertise of the Cowboy working for him.
 
That said, for me, "The Cowboy" was the most interesting guy in the room.
 
 Rich Gallup was also in the room. I do not make tha assertion lightly

I should get around to listening to the archives on justin.tv I suppose. I'm eager to listen and see how I end up feeling about it.

This podcast convinced me to hand over another 50 dollars when my subscription renews.

I get that. Giant Bomb has entertained the hell out of me but this is the one time I've felt "I can't get this anywhere else."
 
I think I may also have to open my wallet.

@Brendan: Christ, I know! I'm thinking of bailing and listening to the end of the audio version tomorrow.

Yep, same here. It was one of the most entertaining looks into the minds of "important/interesting" people in the gaming industry and I didn't want it to end.
