Lengthy bombcasts weekly are never a bad thing.

@kjgabel: It'll definitely sound different because I used different stuff to do it. But does it sound... bad? That's more what I'm curious about. Sounded great on the gear I mixed it on, not 100% sure how it'll sound on computer speakers or headphones or stuff.

The great thing about more Bombcast is that it's not less Bombcast.

POINTLESS COMMENT WITH NOTHING TO DO ABOUT CONTENT OF PODCAST.

JUST WASTING SPACE, ONLY THING I AM GOOD FOR.

Because general excitement is a waste of space. Good work logic!

Sounds crystal clear on my headphones, I wouldn't worry.

They need to add a feature to the bombcasts so you can only comment after streaming the full cast.

Hell they should add that to all comments for videos too.

Pretty funny hearing the guys on the last cast outright denying that Dear Esther is a game and barely talk about it but this fucking interactive, bad anime get fondled all over.

"Uh, Ryan is at DISNEYLAND." Best opening ever.

@kjgabel:Yeah sounds pretty clean and insulated. When Ryan edits it, it seems a little more echo-y, which I feel allows the laughter sound just a bit more awesome.

Idk why but I like the old Bombcast theme better than the new one.

Good job Seems like there is less reverb on the tracks. I really like it! It seems like Ryan always puts too much and it just sounds so unnatural. I always thought your podcast room needed better acoustical treatment or something lol

the podcast is slightly lower in gain/volume than the podcasts that Ryan mixes, but the overall mix sounds better than it usually does. Does that make sense? I think it does haha

@Zamir: I think Patrick was referring to this video.

He seems to fit the description the guys were giving. This is the most reasonable assumption I can decipher but I guess we'll need a reply from Patrick to be 100% sure.

Thank you Brad for jumping in with your reprehensible comment. Because it is. I understand discussing intent and trying to see things from another's point of view, but in this case the specific things that happened are super gross and that basic fact shouldn't be forgotten.

Jeez. Here's my view on the whole Fighting Game Community thing... At some point it is what it is, that way of things has been there quite sometime, so who the fuck is anyone to come in and say "HEY! Calm that shit down." It isn't up to anyone to try to kill that kind of community. Don't force people to be what they aren't...

That shit shouldn't fly when it's a sponsored event. I've read the comments and thought it was pretty bad but than I watched the video a couple minutes ago and it was fucking disgusting.
