I don't come here to watch videos. I don't come here to read reviews or previews. The only reason I come here is to download the Podcast and get the hell out as fast as possible. I don't care about the "community". I don't want to "browse". If I want to watch videos I either watch them on the Xbox Live video marketplace or Gametrailers. If I want to read a review ...I don't care to read reviews anymore.  I have played more games than Tricky Dick Nixon at this point and I know they all basically suck.  I don't need to read somebody else's long winded ultimately pointless rant.  
 
This bring us all to the next big problem. The Podcast...it's not going so well. I use to think the idiots at 4playerpodcast were a bunch of annoying geeks and the people at Giantbomb were more normal and less geeky. But the more I listen the more it becomes clear the people on the GiantBomb podcast  are every bit as geek if not more so. No one downloads a video game podcast to hear about some lame ass festival in San Francisco or how you own every bit of shovel-ware on Steam. It's not relevant. 
 
Yeah I download video game podcasts and listen to them because I have a two hour commute every day to work. I like Giantbomb mostly because it's  long and fills a lot of time. The show is good when they talk about things I find interesting...things like VIDEO GAMES...and when they don't spoil story elements in games and then act as if everyone should have played through and beat a game that came out two weeks ago. It's not necessary and it's not welcome. But I am rambling. Fact is I mostly enjoy the podcast on this site but in the past few weeks I have found myself hitting the fast foward on my my head unit or simply shutting it off entirely and I didn't do that for the first few months I listened. 
  
and yes I am an annoying asshole in real life too
