Having gotten used to 3 hour long broadcasts the 2 hour one seems too short:) 
Its like a flavour is missing from you favourite ice cream.

Same. I enjoyed the 3 hour ones too. It's a shame it sounds like such a logistical nightmare to do them regularly.

I managed, too, to get "used" to them. Even though there was only one.

I thought the usual length for bombcasts was 2 hours? Assuming you are talking about the Giant Bombcast?

To explain: Through sheer coincidence, the one straight after the whole "membership" thing was 3 hours long. Then the next was 2 hours 46. It's coincidence, nothing more, nothing less. They may have more freedom to overrun if they need to, now that subscriptions are a thing, but yo, don't expect extra long bombcasts. They will stay as rare and pleasant surprises.

I was hoping they would get more in-depth with Civ V on the last bombcast, but if they did, well shit man, that would've lasted hours.

They did two, almost 3 hour podcasts. You are a madman.

Three hours is not a minimum. Nor is two hours. They talk as long as they have stuff to say. Those two podcasts, they just had a lot to say.

That was actually the main reason why I never got into the Bombcast. They're just way too freaking long.

@RJPelonia: He was joking around. Jesus. Not everything is an attack on Giant Bomb. People get so sensitive to any commentary about the staff.

I generally enjoy the 2 hour regulars more. 2 hours is perfect length to listen to these guys talk about their tings.

Yeah, I have to break up my Bombcast listening. But that works out for me, actually. Better that way than to listen to the whole thing Tuesday night and then be without Bombcast for the remainder of the week.

2 hours is more than enough. The 3 hour ones where just a little icing on the cake.

I liked the 3 hour ones best because I could easily space the thing out over a week. The last one was only 2 hours probably because Ryan seemingly hated going for so long.

And I think they are too short. Opinions!
 
But really, I could listen to them babble all day. It doesn't even have to be about video games, the best parts of the podcast are when they are wildly off-topic.

Why don't we just lock the door and force them to talk until they pass out from exhaustion? 
I'd love to hear those guys going completely delirious. 
 
2 hours is great...though I loved the extra hour.

ONLY two hours long? Shit. Can somebody tell me how to get into podcasts when they're so long that 120 minutes is considered short?

It's quite easy when it's Jeff, Ryan, Vinny and Brad pumping their sweet vocals into your ear drums. 
 
That sounded dirty to me...

They should do an endurance podcast and just keep talking until one of them is struck down with a serious medical complication.

Yeah you did miss something, you missed the fact that the bombcast has always been 2 hours long :| It was only the past couple that approached the 3 hour mark...2 hours is definitely fine and more than enough for me.

2 hours is still pretty long compared to other game podcasts that I know of. And I'm glad we get at least that much each week. Them dudes is a joy to have in my ears.

My only problem is that they have almost cut out the E-Mails section of the Bombcast. Now it's only between like 10-20 minutes long, really bothers me.

Yeah I don't know what the OP is smoking but they are usually around a little over 2 hours.
