Bombin' the A.M. With Scoops & the Wolf!

Bombin' the A.M. With Scoops and Jeff Cannata: 11/11/2013

With the Wolf gone, I'm joined by Jeff Cannata to talk BlizzCon news, how crowdfunding might influence future media, and Knack, Knack, Knack.

Grab a cup of coffee, and catch up on the day's headlines with Giant Bomb guys that aren't in San Francisco.

YES! Such a fan of Cannata. Always thought he was a sure fire hit to be a Giant Bomber one day.

He'd be cool but I doubt he'd want to leave the LA area since he acts. Also if GB does hire another person I'm betting they want someone to be SF based since they now have 2 offsite guys.

I am really tired of hearing the word "cynical" incorrectly used by Jeff Cannata.

"doubtful as to whether something will happen or whether it is worthwhile."

Pretty sure he is using it correctly. He uses it to refer to people going into a game assuming/hoping it will be bad. Or, putting it directly into the definition's wording, going into a game doubtful that it will be worthwhile.

Having no context for Weekend Confirmed, he seems alright I don't know. Nice guy, nice guest but I don't see what's getting people so worked up as to suggest he should come over to GB or anything.

Waking up Jeff Cannata early? Yeah right. That dude probably ran a 5K before he did the show.

What would happen if you put Vinny Caravella and Jeff Cannata in the same room? We need to know!

Fantastic episode. Also, Cannata is too handsome.

I should totally start listening to Weekend Confirmed. Jeff's a good dude.

You really should, although Jeff doesn't make it in every show.

Is it just me or is the volume level of these Bombin' the AM podcasts (audio only version) a little low? I'm struggling to hear at max volume whilst walking next to traffic, and i dont have a problem with the regular bombcasts at all.

Any chance you can turn up the volume please @patrickklepek? Unless its just me ofc...

I don't think I have ever seen a message board so close to unanimity. Cannata and Giant Bomb are, in my opinion, the two shining lights of games media.

OMG, Blizzcon talk! I hate that Giantbomb doesn't talk about Blizzard games very much.

I think I'd seen Jeff on a Bonus Round before I'm not quite sure, regardless I really enjoyed this interview and plan to check out more of Jeffs work. If this was any indication of the quality of his work and attitude viewing more of it sounds like a worthy investment of my time. Great interview as always Patrick.

Guess I'm a rarity in that I have no idea who this guy is. He really seems to like Nintendo though.

Jeff Cannata was the only reason i listened to weekend confirmed but sadly as nice and Garnet lee is he is a huge un funny dork and now i cant listen to the podcast anymore. Jeff would make a good addition to the bombcast grew, there has been a big hole since the passing of Ryan and Patrick moving away and his presence on the site halved. Giant bomb needs to crew up with another full time member at least and let Drew get back to playing his weird europian sims off in some corner somewhere where i dont have to hear about them :)

Jeff is much more tolerable when he's not screaming his head off into the mic like he constantly does on WC.
