I have to say this: Bombcast is too long

Even on top of all of my other podcasts, I wish it was longer. I listen to each bombcast at least twice.

Either that or he's extremely bad at multitasking. Working, working out, playing multiplayer games, traveling are perfect times for the bombcast. Hard to believe the OP does none of that.

Better than someone stumbling upon this thread and listening to the one of many that wants a shorter bombcast. Compare it to the idiots who say videogames are too long. It should be exactly the length it needs to be.

So in short, there is ONE person here who wants the bombcast shorter.

You guys can stop trashing on the guy, I doubt the staff is going to even take it into consideration if ONE person wants it.

Hey don't get me wrong. I love the current length of the Bombcast. I just found the unanimous disdain toward the prospect of a shorter bombcast both amusing and comforting.
I just like how the community reacted to the post, and had a good laugh about it. Thus, to me, it was "hilarious."

No way, the length is fine. If I have trouble fitting it in, I listen to it in the car. I love the show. :)

I'm going to put it this way: The Bombcast is the only gaming-related podcast I wouldn't be embarrassed to talk about with someone that asked. I get most of my buyer's guidance from there and "NEVER!" is hilarious, I often spend the rest of the week after listening to it waiting for the next episode.

In short, it isn't too long, it's too short.

Two hours is actually probably the sweet spot for a podcast. At least that's what I prefer.

" NO! You are not going to fuck up the boring parts of my job, which I fill with podcasts. Fuck you.But seriously, two hours is nothing, I listen to about ten podcasts every week, and I do it mostly over the weekend or while I'm cooking. "

Or maybe he also has other things to listen to and do, or he just doesn't get the opportunity to listen that much even during his free time... ?

" Really guys, from nearly two hours to two hours of podcast? There is just no way I can have the time to listen to everything in a week, even going to the gym and driving around...Maybe it works for a lot of people but for me it just feels stretched. An hour of podcast is fine, more is just the crew talking random which is probably fun for yo but for the average listener is boring. Is the truth, maybe you can agree or disagree. "

I guess you never listened to the old 1up Yours podcasts. They would go 2 and a half to sometimes 3 hours. The length is fine. You don't have to listen to it all in one sitting. I rarely do.

Since you find certain parts boring then just skip over them. You can make the podcast any length you desire in that case.

The Epic Battlecry podcast is short and in my opinion quite funny. Maybe you should try that?

Yeah I love the length it is, if only it was longer *sad sigh*

No but really, I listen to Listen Up, Rebel FM, Podtoid, Three Red Lights, and Joystiq to name a few, and the Bombcast is the icing on the cake.

I agree. I think it is half an hour too long. I find that a hour to a hour and a half is the perfect timing for a podcast. I prefer listening to music rather than podcasts any day, and sometimes I don't listen through all the Bombcast just because I'd prefer to be listening to music.

Disagree. Podcasts are my t.v. so I think there fine being long. Yes some of them get a bit tired, but I still enjoy them anyways.

I have to say, I like the length. If it was longer I would be unhappy, if it was shorter I would feel left short. I say keep up the good work

Driving to and from work, even if it takes 15 minutes one way, you can finish a 2 hour podcast in 4 days. Not including lunch breaks and gym time, its nearly impossible to not finish it in a week.

Glad to hear that not many other people want a shorter podcast.

In all honesty, if you don't have 2 hours to sit back, relax, and listen to a podcast, then you need to make some time, dude! I personally listen to it while I play games and surf the web. Makes it easy to find time if you don't mind multitasking.

That's my mentality too, yeah.

I find the Bombcast to be the perfect companion for certain games. Lately I've had it playing while I grind through the last month of Persona 3:FES as well as while blastin' suckaz in Space Invaders Extreme.
