Whiskey Media: Yappy Hour 01/07/11

This was fun to go back to.

Look how young Baby Vincent was!

Love this still

Dave "Renaissance Man" Snyder in resplendant form.

Dave looks like Eminem with that hat on.

So casual.

"You can't go business on the top, casual on the bottom! It's not how it works!"

Great rant.

I have the same hat and glasses problem, Ryan (Though the glasses problem is more that glasses just look dumb because they look small in comparison to my head). I know how it feels, brother.

I enjoyed this show a whole lot, it's so interesting getting behind the scenes stories and thought processes. Really good stuff from all involved. 

It's like a Bombcast with a shitty camera. Got to know some background info, that was awesome.
 
THERE IS NO 9 OF SPADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what a cliff hanger ending 

Dave is awesome, wish we saw more of him on the site.

NEED TO HEAR DAVES CARJACKING STORY. 

I love this 'behind-the-curtains' content.

HAHAHahahaha.. A men's review site for women's handbags.

way this reminded me that Dave is a bawler. I miss him

Now we'll never know about the super secret plans!

they need to add that segment of reviewing hand bags to the gb lineup

The fact that Ryan likes Babylon 5 but hates DS9 is...... incongruous to me.

I'm not of the homosexual persuasion, but Dave is gorgeous.

WTF @ the end of the video! Was that intentional? Total tease cliffhanger. 

" this was honestly one of the best happy hours ever. So simple and casual "

"Maybe you could have a rotating crew for future ERs so you would be able to just plug in whoever is available on any given day.  "

yeah but then no one playing would know what was going on day to day (even more than usual) "

That was freaking awesome back to basics unscripted pure talk.  I think one of the things you guys need to realise is that we are here because we like you guys! Your personalities are great and you obviously have awesome stories to tell. All you need is your opinions and humour and I will continue to subscribe! 
 
Thanks dudes! keep up the good work! 
 
Edit: This is amazing! It's like being in a giantbomb planning meeting!

+1 geek cred for mentioning Babylon 5 ^^ love that show.

The stuff that what? What stuff!?
You left me at the edge of the seat here..

Just echoing what everyone else had said - considering this was super low quality and god awful audio, I found it genuinely riveting. Hearing some of the 'behind the scenes' stuff from the guys was really compelling. 
 
More of this please! :)

Sadly, Ryan is unable to turn off Big Head Mode.

This was incredibly awesome, I hope to see this in some other form sometime.  I loved all the inside baseball and the really cool discussion. Good on you guys for making a great show out of virtually nothing.

I am not going to lie, that was probably in my top 2 or 3 of Happy Hours, I mean of course that block party one to kick these off was awesome, but I love Dave, some cool stories and behind the scenes about how Giantbomb runs and how Dave created all those other sites before coming here.  Okay, so that Monaural sound sucked since I was wearing headphones, but otherwise, didn't mind the super low video quality being that everyone was out of the office. 

loved the simplicity and roughness of this happy hour. Entertaining as shit

"Maybe you could have a rotating crew for future ERs so you would be able to just plug in whoever is available on any given day.  "

"one channel is BAD "

HEY YO VINNY! You look exactly like the guy who owns a pizzeria across the street from me. Good specialty pies!

Quick Looks and Bombcasts are the lifeblood of Giant Bomb.  Honestly, you guys could do whatever you wanted as far as cutting this or adding that, as long as those two mainstays...stay. 
 
And I realize Endurance Runs are a bane to the crew, but like the QL it is a feature that, to my knowledge, cannot be found anywhere else on the internet but Giant Bomb.  There's something to be said for that.  They are called Endurance Runs, not Easy Runs.  Time to man up and pick a game!  Maybe you could have a rotating crew for future ERs so you would be able to just plug in whoever is available on any given day. 

I really enjoy I Love Mondays, hearing Ryan all happy about upcoming features on the site makes my Mondays better overall.

You guys at GB have such a great team, people like Dave and Drew that can come to the forefront and be instantly interesting and entertaining to listen too. Definately wouldn't mind more of this! 

This was great. It's always nice to get some insight on the inner workings of Giant Bomb. Thanks for doing this.

Ryan you should get a stretchy tuque that will fit on your head fine.

I would be totally fine seeing video reviews get cut because, as Vinny said, they basically already are. As for ILM, that should stay because it gives the users a nice look at what games they're going to be covering that week. I'd probably miss a lot of content on the site if it weren't for ILM.

I just noticed you guys called it "Yappy Hour". Nice.

I love 'I Love Monday's' 
 
They give me an idea of what's coming up, I like to be informed and being motivated to come back to the site. Like having a rough TV guide. And yeah, it gives me an idea of how the guys plan things. 

also I don't really like most Quick Look EX videos.  those guys are super nervous and not very funny 
 
also video reviews are kind of pointless. 
 
annnd I agree that throwbacks are AWESOME

One huge thing I wouldn't mind being cut from the site - news. A lot of it is outdated and already several days old, there's god knows how many other websites with all that information. There's no need for it on this site and I assume it's not what the vast majority of people come to this site for. Although I guess having freelance people write it doesn't take time away from you but honestly I don't read much news at all on here. I get all my news in the form of twitter or from various podcasts.

one channel is BAD

Interesting. 
 
And we all know you really love the Endurance Run ri.. right?

Need mp3 version of this 
I can't convert with my phone : (
