Anyone else feel like he brings the podcast to a screeching halt?   I am getting the impression others are getting a bit fed up with him(especially the past two episodes).  He does not gell with the rest of the cast, there is a flow to discussion and any good podcast has that, Brad just seems to want to throw in his opinions randomly, and it just interrupts the flow of convo.

More Vinny, less Brad.

Sounds to me like you're just a child who is scared of a bass-infused Southern gentleman.

Dude, what? Brad is virtually worshiped by quite a few people around here. I haven't noticed any difference recently at all. The GB staff are all maximum bro status.

The Bombcast wouldn't be as half as good without Brad, same as with the other three. It's perfect the way it is.

What's a tale without conflict. I don't mind Brad's unwillingness to always participate.

Whole heartedly disagree.  Besides bring a different sound to the 'cast, making it unique from all the others out there, he has been doing previews for years, and his knowledge of the game industry, not to mention his extensive contacts throughout, helps to enrich the podcast. 
The only thing I can see he's doing differently is not having as much as the others when it comes to drink testing.

No way.  Brad is my fav. on GB.  He's not the funniest but I value his opinion more than the others when it comes to games.  As a team they work well.  I used to not like Ryan actually but he's starting to grow on me.

Nope Brad is awesome, and I`m not just saying that as a big fan of GB.
Brad was always an awesome reviewer and had loved him since the early days of gamespot, and as a podcaster he is just as good, with that big dark choclate man voice, OH BABY.

you're retarded for thinking that way. Brad is the man and without him on the podcast, it would be lackluster.  on the other hand, i think Vinny is the weak link, but he's awesome at editing videos, i'll give him that.

Sounds to me that you just wanted to create a topic that would stir up trouble, honestly.

Brad is a great podcaster, how can you not be with that voice? Hell, all of them are GREAT podcasts, thus what makes the Bombcast the best gaming podcast on the interwebs. They produce a very nice, high quality show week after week. Which is just fantastic.

I have no problem with any of them and think all of them make the podcast flow. If even one of them left, I would feel that the podcast would be much weaker.

I haven't felt Brad has ever really interrupted the flow of conversations, I enjoy hearing him throwing his opinions into the mix, I think he fits well with the other podcasters and I definitely do not feel that he brings podcast "to a screeching halt". Unlike some here I won't insult you for voicing your opinion but I think Brad has been a great podcaster and a I hope he continues to keep up the good work.

He's obviously trying to piss people off... Look at his 0 posts, he's probably Biggerbomb or someone just looking to have some fun.

it's all about his lack of experience.  He was on the hotspot maybe once a year and almost never went On the Spot so he never learned not to just be the buzzkill who opts out of everything.

Brad has THE best radio voice, I challenge you to find a better one. You're probably just jealous of his dulcet tones.

Now go punch yourself in the Adams apple to try to make your own voice deeper.

I really enjoy listening to Brads' voice. Not to mention he has his shit together when it comes to games. But he does seem like he would rather not to some of the questionable things they do on the Bombcast. And that can bring the podcast to a stop.

I enjoy Brad on the podcast and I enjoy his reviews. I actually wish he would speak up on some of the podcasts, because he does know what he's talking about and seems to hold it back.

Brad is the Yin to Jeff's Yang.  Also I imagine Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) whenever he speaks.

The bombcast is great the way it is, subtracting from it certainly won't improve it, adding some Alex Navarro in there though, that has the potential to improve it, they need to get him on there more!

Brad's great and DOES bring a lot to the podcast table. He's got a voice made for speaking, and he's one of the nicer guys on the podcast. SMILE!

He's a very entertaining addition, but I think he'd be better fit for a less energized podcast, which makes him all the more entertaining.

The only problem I have with Brad is that he's refusing to take part in the drinking sessions. He needs to drink some of the delicious juices that are avaliable. Other than that he's an utter joker. I really enjoy the dynamics between everyone in the podcast.
