Giant Bomb Talk Radio - 08/03/12

Look, a girl in the thumbnail. I have to watch this video right now. Also, I now have a strange urge to check a certain tech website.

One that doesn't exist anymore?

@iamtheconsensus said:

The guy who was clearly implying he wants a job there is a total bummer. What kind of approach is that even? Gross.

I didn't get that vibe at all. He was wondering if Giant Bomb would ever take a Bitmob type approach to user created content. Fair question.

Every company needs to start having a fungineer department to keep spirits high.

Karen is just adorable.

Where do I go to get a fungineering degree, and does the course involve playing Dwarf Fortress

That was really awesome and informative.

Her and Dave kind of have the same face.... I still thinks shes cute... Is that weird... I'm gonna go in my corner and think about some things............

I was looking at the gif when they were all going ohhh! in the beginning and for some reason the gif slowed down on Dave's face as he was opening his mouth syncing with the ohhh! part.

That all was good and good for you.

Except the part about changing the Quick Look guitar chords. I'm going to miss that.

Yay, finally Jeff's Hall of Fame is starting!

Cutest addition to the giant bomb podcast scene

Has the MP3 version hit anyone's podcast app yet?

Doner have their own meat. Doner meat. It comes from the doner animal.

The Turkish guy at the pita place pronounces it do-nair, but i'm not sure if he's doing that because that's how most Canadians here pronounce it, or if that's actually the way it's supposed to be said.

Also please have more Karen on the podcasts. Bring her in on quicklooks too. I like the cut of her jib. :D

Karen always makes me laugh for some reason.

AaaaaProved!

First time I've seen Karen. She's pretty awesome, huh?

Random PC Game and Flight Club are the best features. Also stupid Wikipedia was hands down the best video you guys have ever put out. More of that.

EDIT: Configure DOS Box? You don't need to configure anything... you run it, cd to the directory you downloaded/installed the game and type the name of the exe and it goes. Simple as.

If fate ever allows, and I could one day be in the middle of a group hug with Dave and Karen, I'll die a happy man.

Wow. Fungineer? That's a difficult course to get in to.

Luscious Jackson reference... that's just great Jeff!

awesome

Can we have a audio version of this?

Wow, the Dave and Karen really look alike. Also, I first read "fungineer" as fungi-neer, like the kingdom of organisms.

Aaaapproved !

I was just thinking there had to be someone to balance out Karen's happiness then Jeff starts wishing death upon people.

I thought it was hilarious when Vinny said ''no shit I just cut this wire, I'm touching it to this other wire'' That sums up the best of GB to me.

"Yeah I know how that is, sometimes you gotta miss stuff" - hilarious

It's also impossible to get out of.

I thought from the thumbnail that it was Dave in a wig...

Three Claps

Giantbomb video idea:

Dave and Karen switch places.

Karen builds the site and plays Dwarf Fortress

Dave does .... whatever Karen does for a living.

I didn't think this through that well.

that's pretty much the best idea for a feature ever

No more phone calls, please; god-DAMN they sound awful and the delay is terrible.

@mrangeryface this gets the approval stamp.

I cannot live without a cereal called Boomerang Bits now. Damn it.

It's actually döner and you pronounce it just like you spell it! :P Imagine the "ö" as something similar to "uh". This might help: http://www.forvo.com/search/doner%20kebab/

I agree with having more Karen. She's fun!

It makes me sad to see Giant Bomb so hindered by red tape. What I loved about this site was that they didn't have any of that. I hope they get the equipment that they need, and Jeff survives all those meetings! Loved this video. Karen is adorable.

I'm so hyped from watching this.

I hope you guys are ready for all the bitching when you change the quicklook intro. You shouldn't fix what ain't broken.

Also, sounds like that last dude was asking for a job

Just needs a name and it'll be perfect.

Snider Swap? Trading Sniders?

I don't care how much you guys bitch about the pain staking process of producing TANG episodes. I want it so bad I can taste it. All orangey and powdery. I guess I'll have to wait till you get all the equipment you need to have a smooth shooting schedule. It's disturbing how similar the Snider siblings look in the facial area. She was not nearly as overbearing as I expected her to be so a "good job" to her. It's hard enough that she has to try to hold her shit together around Jeff and Vinny's craziness much less worry about the hundreds of chatting viewers during the experience. Great show but again I really miss that honed focused video productions that you guys use to do. The live stream compression might be easier in terms of quick and lengthy content but it just doesn't compare to the ridiculous videos that helped define Giant Bomb as a site. Keep up the great job.

Karen has an infectious energy. Giant Bomb could use some of that. Great stuff.

How did Karen not win the Golden Duder?

Hey, remember when the guys were saying that being bought by CBS was a good thing cause they would have a lot more resources?

I honestly don't mean to be a dick, but man, getting Giant Bomb completely up and running again is taking FOREVER.

Maybe there's just more red tape to go through for funding and such?

I had never seen Karen before, and when I first looked at the thumbnail I almost thought that was Dave wearing a wig as well. They're definitely related!

Approved!!!!!!!

Good video. I believe they will improve the site. The need for female energy in this community is so apparent. It was super refreshing.

I think they were using Magic Jack or something similar to even get the thing set up and working.

That is a Snider face if I ever saw one.

I love these radio shows. Good stuff guys (and Karen).
