Giant Bombcast 09-17-2013

Jeff has some things to say about Grand Theft Auto V while Vinny attempts to talk Brad off the ledge after a dismal Dota 2 weekend. Meanwhile Drew looks on from his jet simulator, disapprovingly.

The Giant Bombcast is the world's most beloved video game podcast, and now it's available in video form.

I realize I'm just one person and so I don't matter to anyone ever, and I'll deal with it if I have to since I do love this site and all, but as a subscriber I'm a bit disappointed to be getting ads after that being one of the biggest and most consistent promises since the introduction of the subscription model.

Who was that at the end of the ad? It sounded like Ryan and it really freaked me out.

I'm really enjoying how the bombcast descriptions of late have been sounding like synopses for episodes of Mad Men.

4 years or whatever it is with no ads is a pretty good run. I'm going to listen to the ad version because I hear it's entertaining!

I really dislike ads on podcasts, but if it's only a short one at the start it might be okay...

Thanks for putting in the extra effort to maintain the commitment, @jeff. Even though I love your radio voice when you read off that ad.

Just that one 15 seconds at the beginning of a 2 hour 45 minute FREE podcast? I really don't see how anyone could possibly justify complaining.

If it means some money for the crew from all the hours of entertainment then I'm all for it.

Looks like there are a couple of more but it's not a big deal imo. I'll still listen to this version.

If the guys read the ads themselves then I honestly want the ad-not-free one. I guess this is ok, though!

Hell, I was glad to hear they're monetizing this stupid thing (as long as the site gets some of that $$$).

Dota!

There will be a premium version of the podcast, so no promises broken.
