Giant Bombcast PAX08 Edition

We wrap up day two of the 2008 Penny Arcade Exposition with special guests Rich Gallup, Alex Navarro, and Matt Rorie, as well as an inordinate amount of cursing. Cover thine virgin ears!

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

Gamespot, what's that? GiantBomb, oh yeah! I want more of that! Oh and I am European... but I totally agree about the germans, they are not a part of us! Trust me come the Netherlands. Smoke, game and... Ok nevermind.

Rich Gallup! Surely miss you from ON THE SPOT, but meh go away with gamespot.

You guys never disappoint, that's all I have to say.

Oh, and hearing Rich again was awesome.

PS Just saw Jeff's comments - "It's meant to be a fun little bonus for the people who still care about the old gang." Count me in as someone who definitely cares about the old gang. Any time you guys want to get together and talk mess, I'll be first in line to listen.

I brought a huge grin to my face to hear Rich, Alex and Matt are guesting – This is the Giant Bomb dream team in full effect ladies and gentlemen.
Keep up the unbelievably top notch work guys.
Hope to see Rich, Alex and Matt making more appearances on Giant Bomb. No scratch that! Please, offer them a damn job - I’m sure like the rest of us, they're sick of working for 'the man' by now.
Great stuff! May your thumbs mash buttons for the rest of eternity.

Dude, I feel as if I'm getting drunk just listening to this podcast, there's some serious rambling going on in this Bombcast. Fantastic stuff, keep 'em coming.

I never expected Rich to be so uptight.

There was a post somewhere in here that said "the day you guys become all professional is the day I stop listening!" I completely agree.

The first minute DID make me hard.

This is the reason that the classic Hotspot shows were so amazing and why Rich, Alex and a few other ex-Gamespotters need to join Giant Bomb. >_>

Carrie and Greg at next years PAX, please!

Riiiiiiiiiich!!  Man, that takes me back!!
For some reason Rich's intro gave me Halo 2 flashbacks..hmm

Pretty good Podcast, but the structure seems to falter when combined with alcohol and/or many participants on the show. ;)  But great to see (hear) some old faces.

I smiled for myself and exclaimed "It's a scooner" at the exact moment Ryan (it was Ryan right?) delivered that line. It seems nobody else on the show had the same Viewaskew knowledge...

Man, FUCK RICH GALLUP! lol. I'm jk. But, I guess I see where he's coming from. All those years of doing his college radio show with cursing scarred him for life. So, now he doesn't want to anymore. Of course, I love it when Jeff and Ryan, etc. curse. We don't get to hear them curse too often. I don't know why. Is it more professional, perhaps. But I want real. If you guys really curse a lot, then fuck it, go ahead. But then again, you guys might've been drunk. You know what? Nevermind. *goes back to 1UP Yours*

I'm a big Rich fan but  I gotta say his input was disappointing - never realised he was so prissy regarding curses - the 1up guys are cool!  Also whoever made that 3/5 star comment (was it Rich?) should not be on the podcast again.

Not saying i don't swear, cause i do, but seriously you guys don't need to swear to sound funny or someshit, i don't know if it's just me but i think the podcast would be much better without it. But i'm not exactly picking on this weeks podcast cause i understand most of you guys were hammed. Anyway cool i guess.

The old gang is what connected me to Giant Bomb from the beginning, and this site is an extension of what made that site great. I want meaningful reaction to games and all the mess behind it, without getting carried along in the shitstorm that surrounds every release (MKvsDC excluded).

Rich is an entertaining and generally savvy guy and on the HotSpot a major part of his role was to move things on when called for. Give him the lead on any audio/video and it will always be a smooth and balanced production.

Great podcast, but disappointing input from the guests (except Matt maybe).  I expected a little bit more.  Still great to hear all of those guys again, brings back a ton of memories.

Gotta say I'm on board with Rich on this one. I wasn't really feeling it. Maybe it was the more-than-usual cursing, maybe it was the drunkeness, or a combo of the two, I don't know.  Just.....please don't podcast when you're drunk. It's not fun to listen to.

Wow what a great Bombcast. It was really great to have the old gang back togather. The intro was classic, it was awesome to hear Rich intro a podcast again. If only they all were on the Bombcast normally. There is just such a great connection between all seven of them that it remminds me of the good old day's. Best of luck to Rich, Alex and Matt on there carreers (can't wait to play your games). The end was also a cool refferance to the old day's.GIANT BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMB.COM

Don't listen to these guys! The Podcast was hilarious but I have to say, and I hate to, but Rich really was kind of a wet blanket. I think he was afraid he'd offend his mommy with the potty mouth. Time to grow up Rich!

I'll be honest, this was a shitty podcast.  Way too many dudes in one room trying to talk at once.  There's a reason Jeff never said "PENIS FUCK DICK" on the Points! videos; because it was just one dude making a video.  The more people you pack into a room to do a podcast, the greater the propensity for stupid bullshit.

This was hilarious.

And yeah, we don't mind the swearing. If you didn't you'd sound really creepy instead of drunk.

I wish I was at PAX and could give you guy's HI5's, but I fucking live in Alaska.
