" You can sort if see that barrier when you write certain questions at the giantbomcast and that all they pick is questions like " whats your favorite color " instead of " why don't you review sports games although its a relevant genre among the gamers? " "

If that was your question (or anyone else's) that was written, they probably didn't answer it because it's been responded to several times in various bombcasts. But I do agree that there is some disconnection between the community and the guys. But they do pay attention to the forums and other stuff (Brad mentioning the "video game asses" list on the recent bombcast), so there's not a total disconnect.

" Alex Navarro, Rich Gallup and Leigh Alexander. And on the off chance that anyone from the GiantBomb staff is reading this, i shall convince you by saying "do it do it do it do it!!!" (come on, everbody join in!) Actually, lets just say what were all thinking, get back the gamespot team, you know, the one they had before it all went to shit? (Ryan, Jeff, Alex, Carrie, Greg, Rich) and keep all the new giantbombers of course. "
I like Leigh, I Have a small suspicion that the general site member base does not however, "

Really? why? or am i missing something???

@Mordukai: Yeah but the current 'On the spot' doesn't quite fulfill my craving for live video gaming goodness... I would of course prefer it if they made it their own thing, but my favorite video content is the stuff from inside the office and a weekly show would be a great way to get a lot of that content

@PenguinDoctor: @DewRequired: Brian Ekberg is the previews editor at gamespot. why the fuck would he come to giantbomb just to cover sports. Personally, I think aaron thomas should get the job. He's doing his thing at bitmob, but how awesome would it be with aaron doing quick looks.

@Coombs: Hahahaha. Yes! Big Gary Busey should just the Giant Bomb crew!

I'm just gonna name some of the old Gamespot cast that I've like to see here, even though they're all making games now. I'd love to see Greg Kasavin or Alex Navarro. Sure, I can't expect it to happen, but it would be cool. I see a lot of people mentioning Brian Eckberg, and that'd be a great idea since GB gives sports games no love. And well, Gilbert Arenas probably won't have much else to do after the whole gun thing, so maybe he'd be available.

Sports games are the only area I can think of that need a major improvement. Other than that, I can't really see anywhere they need to change anytime soon.

@Frederik: I really don't know if they have the time for it. Maybe that's why they are looking to hire a new guy.

@Frederik: Personally I think they should hire someone that would do some of Dave's work and free him to be a more active member of the crew.

Definitely not me. I only play shooters, 2d platformers on XBLA, and the occasional match of Street Fighter.
They need someone who's willing to play anything, even a sonic game.

Someone new, a gamer who is not jaded, who can write decently, who will strive to do good work instead of rest on the laurels of success and try to enforce his/her opinion as the opinion, constantly pushing personal preference agendas with every single post of his/hers. Someone who will strive to do the best he/she can in whatever task is at hand, whether that's a review, a feature, fact checking, well informed news reporting, or anything.

" There was some board awhile ago about having Jason Ocampo handle PC games. Yeah, I wouldn't know who to hire. I'd get fired. :P "

Jason has gone to the development side. He said it in a Mobcast ep, I think it was 33 or 34, Brad was in it along whit Greg Kasavin(working on SpecOps The Line for 2K), Jason Ocampo and Aaron Thomas(Host)
