To replace Beastcast? I still don't have a gaming podcast that's been able to replicate it. Bombcast is still bombcast as far as I'm concerned, Jeff G and B are doing great, Jan is becoming a real presence more than ever, Jason and Rorie, too.
I still listen to 8-4 (also hosted on this site) and that's gotta be one of my longest running podcasts now. I was with them back when they were hosted on 1-Up and before I found Giant Bomb.
I didn't really get into the groove with any other gaming news podcasts, despite trying. Waypoint, MinnMax and others people suggested just don't do it for me. Waypoint is skewed just a tad too young for me, and MinnMax feels like IGN-lite, it's way too "we wanna know what YOU think!" for me in a way that totally doesn't appeal. Those are both great shows, but I'm not really a millenial and I super don't want to know what "gamers" have to say about almost anything. That's why Giant Bomb was such a good fit for me. Older hosts who share my taste in humor who are just there to give us their opinions and experiences and be funny, kind, people along the way. I just don't know that I'll get another show that does it.
