He was right; this really is the best thing to happen to this podcast.
Jeff reading the Nintendo new releases.
" The French/Mexican accent one from two weeks ago had me literally laughing for 10 minutes (in public, like a crazy person). "This. When he got to the "more than 240 carefully selected words!" part I was cracking up. This was increased ten fold when I heard Ryan's super loud burst of laughter.
So yeah, I enjoy the segment.
The best part is when after Jeff goes through his whole schpiel, with the accent and all, Ryan responds with "What" or "I love this game" or, my favorite, "Saucepan man" Ryan is the real Jeff Gerstmann.
The final one from the last bombcast killed me. The rest were kind of blah but it was just a slow build up to the final one where it sounds like he is gritting his teeth while talking angry. Laughing at work uncontrollably at work with headphones on doesn't look quite right to co-workers.
I prefer when Ryan reads them. When he reads them, there is both a sense of contempt for those games a need to finish reading them as soon as posible that made it so funny. Jeff's ok, tough.
I think Jeff doing the Nintendo new releases is going well so far. Plus Jeff's delivery has been over the top and funny
I'd personal love it if they took turns doing it.
Either switch every week, or switch for each game.
Jeff's unpredictability is his greatest asset here. Really, why didn't he read them from the start?
Also, I wonder if he rehearses each one before recording?
I LOVED the Bombcast this week. One of the best in a long long time. One of the funniest parts was Jeff reading the Nintendo releases. Thank you Jeff, for reading the NIntendo releases!
" @Abyssfull said:I hate it. I always skip over it. It's so mono tone and just lame. He doesnt spend as much time talking about any other releasess. I always skip this section." I found that part kind of annoying. "No, IT IS annoying and not funny. "
It was funny the first time, but accents and impressions are only as funny as the things you say while doing them. Maybe its because I don't have a lot of time to begin with, but I always stop listening about the same time every week.
99% of the games don't warrant being mentioned, whats next Iphone games? Browser games?
Exact same problem I have." The only problem I have with it is I often go to sleep listening to the bombcast and every time that part comes up I abruptly wake up with Jeff yelling about DSI games in my ear. It's weird. "
Personally, the Nintendo/DSi segments are my least favourite parts of the podcast. Usually end up skipping straight to emails.
This week's reading of "Enjoy your massage" was PRICELESS. Jeff is doing an awesome job at the nintendo readings.
Jeff reading Nintendo press releases is the best thing to happen to the Bombcast since Ryan reading Nintendo press releases.
Now you can enjoy the sexy 'Enjoy your massage' reading whenever you wish!
