Yo John Vinacci Was Straight Up Dope.
He was very similar to Jeff in the way he jokes, and had some great stories/opinions. Get that mother back on the Bombcast while he's still between jobs!
Dude was FUNNY.
It was an awesome bombcast, my main beef comes from some times it felt like too much was going on, it was an awesome bombcast though.
One reason I think Johnny won't come back though is because of when he asked Vinny who his favorite grandma was, at that point the fun was over for me =[
There was to much shit going on in this Bombcast, everyone was yelling over each other, I kept hearing Mickey Mouse laughing and I really didn't like the guests.
I guess I really just prefer the good ole group of 4.
TOTALLY, my friend who i just introduced to giantbomb thought the latest bombcast was hella good because of john vignocci
I thought it got a little too tangential at some points, but Johnny V. was an excellent guest, almost to the level of Paul Barnett.
Johnny V is one of my best pals, love him to death, and he has some awesome stories. I hope he does a guest spot on Bombcast again sometime...
It was the worst podcast I think I've ever heard. All he managed to do was make an ass of himself. Is this really how game developers are? "She shows her tits!" There was someone who commented on how hearing people you don't know telling stories is about as much fun as playing a video game in a language you don't speak.
Besides, what is the purpose of podcasts anyway? Is it to inform people about the video game industry or joke around about anything? I guess It compensates for a group of friends one would wish to hang out with but if this is so then why not be honest about it? Why not have a podcast that focuses entirely on video games and another that fills the above mentioned void in one's life?
Does anyone know what episode (I think it might have been an E3 one, possibly around '10, but I just went through the video and I couldn't find it) Johnny talks about how he left Midway? This was my introduction to Johnny (and by extension, Dave Lang, who was mentioned in it) and I remember it as one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard (above even "my name is Horsey"), but I can't for the life of me find the actual fragment. Youtube has also not been very helpful at all.
@LoktarOgar:
Weird! I've been working my way through the old bombcast and I happen to be listening to that episode right now!
