Giant Bombcast E3 2009 Day Two

We're not gonna lie: guests from Capcom, GRIN, Gamasutra, and Jellyvision make this hands-down the craziest Bombcast ever.

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

Man, at first I was annoyed she was being talked over; then she would not stop talking over everyone.


I think I'd have loved her on the show if she wasn't talking over everyone being so obnoxious.  One person should talk at a time, and be considerate of each other.

All in all, though, I think that is part of the problem of having too many people on a show; you can't fit that many people on a show comfortably and this bombcast is a perfect example.

I'm a bit late to the party but I just heard this Bombcast and felt compelled to comment.
 
Here I was hoping for a comical bombcast with the appearances of the GRIN dudes again but it pains me to say that this was the worst Bombcast out of all of them.  Leigh can single-handedly take credit for that.  She makes 2 guests walk out, makes an unnecessary Nazi SS uniform sexiness comment, wouldn't let anyone get more than 3 words in and wasn't paying attention when she allowed the others to speak... "Oh I was zoning out"...   I wish she would've zoned out a lot more, maybe there would have actually been a discussion.   So contrary to what Leigh says, girls DO take dumps, in this case on a perfectly good bombcast. 

Sure maybe she had an interesting point or 2, but it was overshadowed by her hyperactivity.  Next time Leigh's on, it will be a huge pass for me.  The fact people were actually excited to have her on? And she's actually got fans & a following? It truly boggles the mind...

To her credit. The Nazi SS uniforms were designed by Hugo Boss and are excellent looking uniforms. Considering all the terrible things the nazis did... they rolled with style.

The minute Leigh described herself as an "objective" person, I had a feeling she was so far up her own ass she would ruin this podcast with a long rant fueled with her own agenda. Low and behold I was right...

Her schpeel about RE sex was the most annoying thing ever. Just because 2 guys touch each other, doesn't mean it's a homo erotic act. Grow the fuck up woman.

LOL. I decided to listen to this podcast again while I played MW2. When you realize what's ahead, Leigh's insanity is hilarious. She is so full of herself.

It really is too bad she got really drunk and ruined this podcast. She's actually a good writer and games journalist, most of the time.

Still my favourite Bombcast moment ever is Ryan's tone of voice after Leigh leaves. 
 
So, so terse.

Shit bombcast, not really just because of Leigh, but just overall kind of passive aggressive and lame, I love every other Bombcast I have ever listened to, though.

Re-listening while I work, honestly I didn't remember this podcast, 40 minutes in, she's actually quite interesting. Way better than 2010, at least 40 minutes in, let's see where this goes... 
 
EDIT: 1:40 in, she's in hyper mode now, but at least she's talking about games, pretty annoying, but not as bad as 2010 though... 
 
EDIT2: 1:45, she left, not that bad, talking a mile a minute, but not the sloppy drunken mess of the 2010 Bombcast.

Going back and listening to a lot of old casts that I never got around too.  Geez this one was terrible.  I thought she was just drunk in the other E3 cast Leigh was on (2010?), but no she just likes to hear herself talk.  She wins the award for Most Interruptions in 2 hours.  I'm halfway through and shutting it down...will have to skip any future shows she is on.  "I'm objective..." followed by 2 hours of judgement.

Yeah I just listened to this and.........jesus fuck. She talks for minutes on end. I wanted to rip my ear buds out in the middle of exercising and smash them on the concrete.

Hands down one of the funniest bomb cast ever. I'm starting with the old ones and I hear some people complaining about this one. The new ones must be fantastic then because I loved this one.

"For an 'objective' journalist, that's some pretty judgemental shit." Ryan nailed it. Goddamn, it's one thing that the reviewer girl's voice is a pain, but the endless stream of constant horseshit spewing out of her mouth was unbearable. Damn, duder.

Absolutely incredible listening to the “virtual worlds” talk 13 years later. (starts around 44:00) Every single word remains dead on. They might as well be talking about Facebook VR’s 2022 Horizon Worlds, it all still applies. Had been wanting to revisit this segment, and it holds up far better than I imagined.
