Would you be in favor of eliminating the "new release" section of the Bombcast where Ryan reads the back-of-the-box description for upcoming games?

Yeah, it's a waste of time and talent. If anything, they could read a few more e-mails instead.

It should be tedious.  But sometimes some of the funniest banter in the show comes out of it.  Keep it!

You are right I was being a cunt, but based on my response you can hardly tell if I think everything the staff does is awesome. I find it extremely funny to hear the crap PR people are paid to come up with that are put on Nintendo releases. And based on the results of the poll it is safe to say the vast majority of people would tend to agree with me.

Most of it is pointless and you could read ityourself off the box/site/wherever. But sometimes it does invoke interesting discussions. 
Also, Wii/DSiWare music.

There is already no more drink segment. Don't try to take away more segments I like just because "it's too long".

It should be a stupid section, but the descriptions that are provided are so terrible it becomes awesome.  If the people puttin out those games gets their act together, then it should go.  Until then, it's too funny NOT to read.

Yea its unnecessary and sometimes they go too long but it only takes that one week where they have some super idiotic game they can totally bludgeon to death with the funny to make it all worth while. 
Instead we should hope more shifty Wii games and or Wiishop games come out for them to trounce. 
 
Also: Bring back the fucking drinks!

No, absolutely not.  Too many of the descriptions they read are just so ridiculous, which gives the GB crew plenty of room to riff on them in entertaining ways. 
 
Also agreed that drinks should come back, Goddammit.

The new releases section is always amazing. Mostly thanks to Wii-ware and DSi-ware.

It's not as bad as it should be on paper, but it does drag.  Mostly because I can't help thinking "Does anybody listening to this ever even consider buying this stuff?".  I would guess that a tiny, tiny percentage of the audience find it genuinely relevant to their interests.
 
Having it is better than not having it I guess, sure, but the time could probably be better used.

Nope, one of my favourite parts of the show is hearing the sometimes quite silly DSi releases.

No.  For several reasons:  firstly, I don't keep up with release dates so it's good to hear what is out; secondly, shop music: lastly, some of the Wii/DSi descriptions are hilarious.

It's the 'opportunity cost' of the segment which puts me in mind to vote no for this one.  It does produce some great moments but generally not as many as the other segments - if there was another possible segment or possibly a longer emails part then I would at least be interested to see how that would work.

I always just assume the drink section got removed for health reasons.
