Everyone at my gym now thinks I'm mental after I laughed for a solid half a minute listening to and replaying Vinny as Grover. All the best to the Vin-dog in New York!

Aioli vs Mayo!

Aioli is Egg yolks, garlic, lemon juice, salt and olive oil emulsified into it. It's originally from the south of France. and In France, they leave that as it is.

Mayo is at its most basic, Egg yolks, vinegar, mustard, salt, and a neutral oil like Canola or Corn oil emulsified into it. You can change a bunch of that stuff around, replacing the type of vinegar, mustard, or even using lemon juice and adding different flavorings to get what you want.

But now, because some people don't really want to eat lots of mayo with their food, people add flavorings and call it Aioli to be all fancy and charge more money for it.

Transistor's art really is gorgeous. Haven't even played it yet but I'm going to order some print's from Super Giant's site and frame them.

I feel like I've finally figured out why Vinny doesn't feel like there's anything for him to play all the time, lately. He can't seem to remember any of the games that have been or will be released.

Take care, Vinny. I hope what happens on the East coast revives the spirit of early Giant Bomb.

To hell with your goodbyes! Vinny hasn't left the site. I don't give a damn what part of the country he's working in.

Best of luck on that cross country drive, Vinny. 58 hours is brutal. eek.

As someone who has to read 'Baby Beluga' to his daughter in a faux-Morgan Freeman voice I can feel for Vinny's Yoda-Grover stylings.

I don't think splitting up the Bombcast between gaming and non-gaming stuff is all that good of an idea. I love the mix and there are plenty of places just talking about games already.

Bye Vinny.

Half an hour in and they're still talking about mattresses or something. Get on with the discussion about games.

You sure you're listening to the right podcast?

no kidding how would you even make it through a single episode of the bombcast with that attitude its not called the giantbomb.com video game spectacular podcast

although that would be an wonderfuly misleading name

I agree with the first person, which is why I don't listen to the Bombcast as much. Giant Bomb has some of my favorite staff, but I don't care for their podcasts as much when they talk about daily life stuff, and if I do listen to it, I'll skip ahead and listen to what they have to say about games. If I knew them in person, that'd be different, but I don't, so I just want to hear their thoughts on games and move on.

Honestly, the Bombcast isn't for either of you, to be be so knit picky about the "non-game" content that pertains to the topics at hand. I can only imagine that after all the jumping and skipping you only listen to about 20-30 mins of the podcast at best, would you even listen to the Bombcast at all if they still did the energy drink taste testing? I'm sure that there are hundreds of lifeless and generic gaming pod casts out there that mete your needs.

guaranteed no skype vinny?

seems like he's all for it considering he has patrick on everytime he hosted the bombcast...

I may have misinterpreted, but Jeffs instant "nope!" right near the end when Vinny said he hopes he can still "check in" sometimes sounds like he's still dead set against the idea, and whilst I agree with the core principle behind it (skype-only podcasts just aren't the same), the way Vinny handles it with Patrick when he's running the podcast works really well imo. Again, I hope i misinterpreted, because I'd love to hear everyone have a voice on the podcast each week, no matter the location.

i just remember absolutely loving the end of the year google hangoutcast year, but that may have worked OK since they were all doing it remotely and they also all had video. eh i wouldn't hold out hope on it being an occasional thing at least. plus side is this possibly means more rorie.

The email from the guy that doesn't know what the crew looks like was amazing. His takes on Drew and Vinny were pretty damn close. And of course Vinny is good guy Greg. Why didn't i think of this before.

The email about guessing what the crew looks like was pretty great.

I remember my only point of reference of Giantbomb being the P4 Endurance run for awhile, and with the very few videos I saw of Jeff and Vinny, I had thought that Vinny's voice belonged to Jeff's body and that Jeff's voice belonged to Vinny's body. I don't know why I thought this, but this was my thinking for at least a month before I got into more non-P4 related videos.

Bombcast will never be the same without Vinny. For a personality-driven website, they strangely seem to do a terrific job of scattering everyone away.
