Will the Points Report ever return?
I'd like to see it return, however I hope he changes the the format up a bit. There was something kind of creepy about watching a video of a dude talking to a webcam alone in a dark room. No offense or anything, Jeff.
"I'd like to see it return, however I hope he changes the the format up a bit. There was something kind of creepy about watching a video of a dude talking to a webcam alone in a dark room.

If you start "mixing it up" with more people or another "scenery" it wont be as up close and personal which was the whole point with them. If you think a room and a guy is "creepy" you must have had a tough childhood dude ;)
I dont believe the points report will ever be back. On the regular Bombcast, there already is a section of games they are currently playing and Jeff gives his thoughts on them much like he would in his points report. If you really want to know his current points, you can just check it up yourself. (that really is the only thing different from the bombcast to the points report).
I'd like to see it back, or at least incorporated somehow into the Bombcast. Like StaticFalconar said, it is basically the part where the team mention what they're playing, but something mentioning about the points they have from playing would be nice. I don't know why but I like knowing other people care about their achievements as much as I begrudgingly do.
I think they should just add a mini section to the bombcast where all 4 of them can talk about what points they unlocked over the past week.
Even if they do that I'm still going to miss the old fashion reports :(
I would love to see them back, watching umteen episodes late into the night was always great. I even did prefer the short ones that were around 10 minutes. I wanna know what he thinks about crappy games' achievements!
"I don't think so, he said in a podcast a little bit ago that this site is kinda his points report. that was because he just talks about random games and stuff in his reports which he does here. No idea which podcast it was thpugh"I recall that too. He said that was a means for him to freely give his honest opinion about games without 'The Man' controlling what he can or can't say. Now he has a whole site in which he can do that. But those were good times when he was just sitting in a dark room, the TV on in the background....pure bliss.
