Weird podcast this week?

Just gotten into the news segment, taking a break. But damn, the podcast seems to have a weird vibe going on this week Or is it just me?

He is watching. 

They all seem on edge or something. And it almost seems like they recorded it on friday.

Pretty sure it was recorded on Friday.

@Leptok: Well, they DEFINITELY didn't record it Monday, so they probably did record Friday. I think it's pretty entertaining, though.

(I'll continue to be bummed out that there'll be almost no content this week all the same.)

Yeah, I remember saying they were going to do that because of the 4 day weekend they were taking. Also, there isn't really anything coming out right now so there isn't much to talk about.

Quiet, you fool! Do you want Tim Langdell to sue you for using that word?

They skipped right over the 4th of july recap which is always amazing! Any 4th of july converation i've ever had with another human being has always been amazing, so im pretty bummed they skipped right over that. I might just be paranoid, but i think this podcast was recorded last week and the 4th of july had simply not yet occurred.

It obviously wasn't recorded on their regular schedule and they sounded more tired than usual. I found it to be pretty boring and the Journey segment was useless (not funny or informative).

It pains me to hear everyone be generally dismissive of Journey. :[

You guys are funny, and now I'm off to listen to this abomination of a bombcast.

@Leptok: You know that feeling when you have to do one more thing before heading home for a long weekend?

That's what the podcast sounded like. And that's totally fine.

CAEX cast next week! Woo!

yeah i was looking forward to their recaps...  oh well, ill just wait till they release another one next week

The GB crew are actually Nexus-series replicants.

It was recorded on Friday.

Well I can't say I noticed it being particularly "weird" about it but it was definitely recorded last week.

Only 94 minutes long, I think it's the shortest Bombcast ever.

Yeah, I think that's what makes it really weird.

I just listened to it twice, replicated the usual podcast.

Here's my question: when your job consists of playing video games, how can you complain or sound tired? You have the best job in the world, you're not working in a coal mine. I know there are meetings but they spend most of their day gaming. I don't want this to turn into the whine fest that is TalkRadar

Suckle at the sweet tits of envy.

it was recorded on a Friday. They probably didn't want to be there.

For being the only listenable video game podcast I think they can do the occasional 90 minute Bombcast especially considering how much effort went into the E3 shows.  
Fuck it we should go to the Giant Bomb headquarters and protest this injustice.  No more Bombcast under 2 1/2 hours or we riot.

it was all that talk of journey and jeff just being confused as hell the whole time

That was probably the funniest part. Besides Vinny saying Brad had a giant boner.

Seems like they're trying to promote games that aren't that impressive...

@Mr_Skeleton: Since I am the guy that knows these kinds of things, no, it's not the shortest Bombcast ever, in fact, quite a number of the 2008 Bombcasts were shorter, as were a number recorded at a show (E3, PAX, TGS), to talk about the plot/mechanics of a certain game, to talk with PR or developers of a certain game, or for the Game of the Year deliberations.

It is the shortest "regular" Bombcast since June 6, 2009, the week after E3. That one clocked in at a mere one hour, seventeen minutes, six seconds.

The shortest "regular" Bombcast was the one immediately after they launched the site, on July 22, 2008, at 45-and-a-half minutes.

@KensterFox: Wow you are like a living encyclopaedia for useless Giant Bomb information and I salute you for that. Consider yourself followed.

They do sound tired and ready to get the hell out of the office. Oh well at least a bombcast was put out on tuesday.

I hope that in the next bombcast they do the 4th of july recap, those are always great and since there aren't a lot of games coming out I think they can burn enough time talking about it.

it was recorded on a Friday. They probably didn't want to be there.

I didn't notice a difference at all. Was still quite entertaining. 

They probably didnt want to be there, they have been in a pissy mood all week. Probably the week thats in it.

I normally love Jeff, but i found him a little bit unbearable on the podcast.

Well two weeks till we get some more Cathrine talk. then a month after that we'll get some Deus Ex talk, then a month after that shit will get real.

Anyone ever noticed that if you play the podcast at x2, you can get it done in half the time and it really doesn't even sound that fast.

Dudes talk slowly.

Spoilers: They did record on Friday.

I didn't have any problems with the podcast at all. I enjoyed hearing Brad try to explain Journey to everyone.

Although I must say it has to be weird for everyone to sit there on a Friday and be like, "Yeah, that 4th of July weekend was crazy! I'm exhausted!" when it hadn't even happened yet.

The podcast was fine. Great even.

Some of you sound like a bunch of gossipy old women if those old women were pimply teenagers with entitlement complexes.

Dude. What.

what the hell is wrong with you

I do have a ridiculous amount of Bombcast trivia at my command... but, seriously, guys, this one wasn't hard, just sort the episodes by length in my media organizer (MediaMonkey Gold, by the way, check it out!) and look at the titles. Yes, I have all of the podcasts downloaded to my hard drive, but considering the fact that I listen to them more than once, that isn't THAT weird.

I don't know, I thought it was pretty funny.

Yes yes, but they dont make that very obvious till the end. I had taken a break earlier and made this thread.
