Giant Bombcast 10/22/2013

Great episode, love how Vinny mashed stuff up and hearing Patrick was great to (sounded great quality as well, please can we have some Alex on the Bombcast). Top notch as always.

Oh man, Vinny with the pinch hit grand salami! Well done sir. Alexis should be on more as well. Even Brad came off as mostly conscious the whole episode. Viva La Bomba Grande!

P.S. I need to hear more about Drew RPing as a teenage girl. HAWT.

That whole 'how's it going' bit at the very beginning is one of the best things ever

GJ with this podcast Vinny.

Great work guys! Dream team.

La Bomba Grande!

Vinny is great at hosting, squishy "K" sounds and all. A funny everyman as MC is perfect.

LA BOMBA GRRRRRRRRRRANDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I miss Vinny's old Hotspot hosting days.

If Vinny could host every Bombcast I would be a very happy man.

Vinny needs to host EVERYTHING.
Bombcast, Oscars, all morning radio shows. EVERYTHING!

That was (amazingly) weird

Did I hear the song from that short pixar movies with those birds with the news segment ?

Great hosting job by Vinny.

Still skeptical about skyping Patrick in, it kind of interrupts the flow of the show, and while it worked fine this time, it has been problematic on other podcasts that have used skype. Plus Patrick has a whole other show/podcast that basically serves the same purpose as skyping him in does.

Vinny is an amazing host. I loved the background music he added and momentum he brout to the show this. The bomb cast hasn't sounded this fresh since Ryan passed away.

Please have Vinny host all the Bombcasts!! He is a FANTASTIC host!!!

Talk about Portmanteau's reminds me of my favorite of the year: Drivatar.

Vinny is a great host, I think he should take the helm more often. Jeff is an alright host but I think his schtick of opening up in mid conversation isn't a very good attention grabber, you're sort of just muddled in.

This episode had the energy right from the start, it was really refreshing.

Man, this was just the best Bombcast.

Oh my god those Squarespace ads are just everywhere at the moment. It's getting annoying hearing that exact same line.

Great job on the podcast Vinny!

Good job Vinny.

If Vinny doesn't host the podcast, he at least needs to become the permanent editor of it. The musical choices and timings were fucking hilarious and inspired.

This was the best podcast in months. Just a ton of laughs all the way through, and Vinny brings an energy and enthusiasm to the hosting duties that has been lacking since Ryan passed.

Drew and Alexis also brang the heat this week. Their stories were non-stop hilarity, the Spanish segment was great, and everyone actually sounded like they were having a great time taking listener emails.

I understand that Jeff will likely continue to host, as he's the "face" of the website, but this just sealed it for me that Vinny is the best.

And I will second recommendations that "VinCo" become the theme for this years GOTY videos.

Amazing bombcast.

haha, my thoughts exactly.

Jeff, you're on notice. If Vinny didn't have probably a million other things to do every week, he should definitely become the new bombcast host.

Alexis should become a regular staple as well. Every time I see or hear that duder, I like him a little more.

You NEVER have to grind in dark souls! Ever!

BEST INTRO

I was thinking the same thing about Alexis!

Maybe I'm just paranoid but alexis' ringing endorsement for square space dot com rang a little conspiracy theories to me.

Holy shit those musical cues! Faaaaaaaaantastic!

2 minutes in and this is the Sleeping Dogs QL version of the Bombcast. Absolute mayhem.

Totally lost it at "Sneeze your way to Mars"

Brilliant bombcast!

Well, it seems like everyone beat me to it, but @vinny brought energy and enthusiasm the likes of which we haven't seen since Ryan. I've listened to every episode since way back at Gamespot and I fuckin' love Jeff, but his sort of meandering style isn't an asset when he's hosting. I don't think I've commented on the Bombcast threads much, even though it's the content I consume the most on this site, even as a subscriber. Vinny just kept everything on track and hilarious while Jeff can be sort of cynical and jaded about the industry. I think that kind of attitude can sorta seep into the other duders and make the show, well, sort of a bummer. Just my two cents, of course, but this week's episode was easily the best one in months. Viva Alexis as well!

Agree with everybody here that Vinny did a fantastic job! It would be nice ti hear Alexis more often. Keep up the great work bomb squad!

more vinny hosting would be great, but i think he carries a lot on the site and wouldn't want him run ragged.

also brad's butthead impression wasn't shabby.

Wait a second, how long have they been doing premium versions of the bombcast!?!?!

Alexis snorting when he laughs was super annoying....

I enjoyed this edition of the giant bombcast.

Home Alone Bombcast, no adults!! Nice job, enjoyed listening to Vinny and Drew talk Beyond. Good hosting guys!

Was I high or was there no F1 talk?

I am 2 minutes in and this is INCREDIBLE.

EDIT: I feel that Turtle Beach story could be an issue. A large percentage of those people who just play CoD all the time are very adamant about having a headset (and having played those games a lot I totally agree), and TB are one of the most popular manufacturers. Hopefully it'll be sorted quickly enough to not be a big deal, but still.

I don't understand how Patrick can logically justify buying a new iPad, but not a new console. I mean, a new tablet just runs the old shit a bit faster, it doesn't do anything the other one couldn't.

It only happens when there are ads in the regular podcast. The premium version simply edits the ads out.

The whole obsession with constantly upgrading phones and tablets is something I will also never be able to understand.

W-was that Brad at the beginning, doing the plug? Shit, I don't think I've ever heard him that enthusiastic.

This is the podcast we deserve but the one need...or something like that.
