THE PODCAST IS NOT TOO LONG! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, KEEP IT THE WAY IT IS!

This.

That, them.

2 HOURS! Damn that's a podcast!

"I don't like it when they try to control what we do that way. That's why we did that Kinect marathon"

That was my favorite part of this video.

Wait, Recettear on the Citadel? YES

ME3 already is kinda like a dating sim.

I love these videos :)

The brightness in this video is a tad...jarring...

Jar you kidding me? It's not that bad...

Thanks for answering the wiki question. I'm not as involved with it as some folk (I'd like to be), but it's reassuring to know there's still plans and ideas going towards expanding it. "Concepts" always felt like a stopgap for everything that had yet to have its own category.

Good call on the bosses category. I realised after sending the question how much of a horrible spoiler-fest that would end up becoming. Yeesh.

There is clearly no woman living with Jeff.

That was pretty great. All those Kinect games definitely wouldn't get shown like that if the publishers had anything to say about it. Giantbomb is the only site showing them the way they would actually have to be played though, so kudos to GB.

Thanks Jeff! I appreciate the elaboration on the moving and whatnot.

id say just book 4 or 5 hours for the podcast, so you guys have some elbow room.

I like the long quick looks. Dont shorten them nor the podcast. We dont need less content, we need more.

Yo Jeff, talk to TurboMan. His best-of-quick-looks feature on Youtube is kind of what you're talking about when you say you want a "digest" version of your content.

The first 2 Mass Effect games are $10 each on Amazon Digital right now. I know at least Mass Effect 2 can be redeemed on Origin.

Podcast is not long enough. MORE LONG! INFINITE LONG!

Sweet call out on Methodis

Wow a fan :)

lol, I'm imagining a whole production crew behind that camera scrambling around making everything look and sound great, CBS isn't afraid to throw all their money at jars.

The latter part of this statement holds especially true since the "purchase". We all better get an extension on our premium membership, equal to the duration of this content drought.

2-2.5 hours is fine for the Bombcast. It doesn't need to be 3 hours plus.

But turning it into a 60-90 minute podcast would ruin it.

To the guy with the mac, I use windows and have never had an anti-virus. You don't need one unless you're an idiot or ignorant. It's not like you open your internet browser and people are just waiting to jump into your machine. Don't download or open links you don't trust and have common sense. It always bothers me when people say that.

This. It's fine as is.

Jeff's visible convulsion when he got to Methodis' question was golden.

Pfft, Rising? Don't you mean REVENGEANCE?!

Glad to keep seeing these

Stop using the word pretentious when you don't know what it means. (That was not pointed at Jeff)

Stop using this stock response to people using the word. People have the internet, bro. People know what it means, and these pixel arts games are absolutely part of it.

"*Sigh*... make friends with my fist!" - Jeff, The HotSpot.

Where do you submit the questions?

I started out watching this in HD, but had to knock it down to High. Some things are better left a little blurry.

I know! It was great to have my question answered though and I agree about a shorter digest version would be a nice...addition to the long ones.

@Arthurd: he has a roommate though! Nothing better to keep a house clean and organized than two doods.

This, this, and this.

Love the long podcasts. Feel free to not make them shorter. I appreciate the 1 hour, planned podcasts, but I love coming to the Bombcast for 2-3 hours of indulging tangents and "what if" scenarios.

Is Jeff doing the Big Bo face in the video thumbnail?! Also, make quicklooks longer and more of them. More content and longer videos! Also, random PC game is amazing.

There are no Macintosh servers, that is why no one bothers writing viruses for Mac OS.

iOS on the other hand....

I fucking LOVE these videos. I could listen to this man all day.

Nice start into this new chapter for Giantbomb. As long as you guys keep doing what you did for the last couple of years, I'll keep subscribing!

I like long Quick Looks and Bombcasts. 3 hours should be the minimum IMHO.

This.

One day we will make the (Space) Murder Slingshot and the Space Elevator a reality.

Wait, Recettear on the Citadel? YES

Thanks Jeff

Soundtrack pages would be great, I find myself wasting a lot of time trolling through old news posts when soundtracks get announced. So it would be nice to have one centralised place for it.

@mrpandaman: Exactly. Fools all, would we be if we did not cultivate such ideas into reality.

@beard_of_zeus: as long as Tear became a Hanar.

Mass Effect Space Flight Sim, complete with AI handling cyber warfare.

Also 2hours for a Bombcast is fine, still an hour longer than most podcasts.

I played so much Burnout: Paradies. I love that game so god damn much.

Ah yes, sweet, delicious jar time. Among the best kind of content! So far I really like the diverse set of questions, especially the unexpected and insightful rap talk after the opening with the obvious theme of the hour. Of course the physical vs. digital content delivery topic won't get boring either, at least for the last couple of years physical has before it's finally mostly gone for better or worse.

Great stuff so far, but the second half has to wait until I'm less sleepy because this is too good. And I need backup GB content in case you need some more time to kick things fully back into high gear.

Did anyone catch Jeff's reference to GORILLAS.BAS?! I used to play that in QBasic as a kid. What good memories... thanks Jeff! I remember using it to learn programming. Man those were the good old days when computer languages weren't object orientated and you had to use things called SUBS instead of CLASSES. Yeah... maybe those days weren't so good after all...

Also, just to throw it out there, I recommend my clients at work (I am a computer technician at a major University in NY) purchase Macs for home use. The reason I do this is because there's a lot less that can go wrong with a Mac and they are generally easy to use. This said, I have been using Windows based PCs for home use for what seems like forever. I do not use any sort of anti-virus software, as I consider myself my own anti-virus software. What I mean is, I know how to prevent them, how to know when I'm infected & how to eradicate the problem. I haven't had a virus or piece of malware on my home machine in over 5 years. I use this PC everyday for heavy web page viewing & PC gaming. With the right knowledge, you can prevent these problems. I prefer PCs, but I can totally understand why one would prefer a Mac.

"Purchase" or purchase? The questions mount.
