    Edit: Now that the show is long over, here's the YouTube version of the entire show. You can also get the feeds to subscribe to the audio or video version on the second post of this thread.
     
     
     

    I have a tendency to ramble on so I am going to get straight to the point. I've really enjoyed Giant Bomb over the past few years. I've also enjoyed TWiT when I discovered them a few years ago as well. While they have two completely different styles, at their cores, they share the common similarity of having people who are extremely pasionate about what they do - technology with TWiT and video games with Giant Bomb. Well beyond my wildest comprehension, these two things seem to be coming together. Evidence from Leo and Jeff's tweets.
      
    Leo:"@giatbomb - Hey Jeff Gerstmann - let's get you on TWiT today. Are you still in Petaluma? DM me"
    Jeff: "@leolaporte Hey Leo, yeah, I'm in Petaluma, would love to come through and chat. DM me the details (or follow me and I'll DM you my cell)."
    Jeff: "Heading across town to get my TWiT on. I will be sure to properly represent the east side of Petaluma to the _fullest._ http://live.twit.tv/" 
     
    Plus Veronica Belmont's tweet:
    "Going to be on This Week in Tech with @LeoLaporte @jeffcannata and @jeffgerstmann pretty soon! Talking games, of course. http://live.twit.tv "
     
    I was hoping giatbomb was Giant Bomb and it seems like it is. So it appears the people of TWiT, Core, The Totally Rad Show and Giant Bomb are coming together. Go Jeff! Represent the video games!

    TWiT starts a little past the hour, so yes, I think its in 10 minutes now.
     
    And BTW, have no idea how Jeff found out about Leo's message after sending it to @giatbomb. I reserved @giatbomb in case anyone from Giant Bomb wants it. I doubt they will, but people should always reserve misspellings of your website in case impostors/pranksters are lurking.
     
    Edit: I saw that he made the @giatbomb mistake, didn't delete it, and then posted another tweet with @giantbomb. Guess once you have +100,000 followers, you probably have to give up on the possibility of deleting messages since they would have circulated far and wide by the time you try to fix your mistake.

    The deepness of Jeff Gerstmann's Voice stands out against the 'squeekiness' of Veronica's voice, although Jeff Cannata rivals Gerstmann in that department.

    She is well known as being able to have an independent voice. She thought Left for Dead was cool, and I am happy she doesn't have be a female Kevin Butler.

    I like this kind of set up for a live podcast/discussion. Would be awesome to see Giantbomb doing a similar show, separate from the Bombcast, with industry professionals and other journalists.

    Since he made it public, either he didn't know that everything went live, they have given up trying to keep that stuff private, or they'll be public offices?
     
    Plus there was a Gizmodo joke referencing to Jeff's stolen poncho. Homing beacon's probably still on.
