He's a cool guy, entertaining to listen to and has an almost Brad Muir level of positivity which the gaming industry could use more of. We've got more snark and sarcasm then is healthy.
Are you kidding me? One of the reasons I stopped listening to Weekend Confirmed was because of his need to go on multiple 20-minute tirades railing against XYZ on every podcast. He may "love loving things" more effectively on his other shows (I haven't watched any of them), but on Weekend Confirmed I got tired of grinding my teeth while listening to his hyper-aggressive negativity.
This X infinity. I stopped listening to Weekend Confirmed for a long while because they feel it necessary (as they do in the latest episode) to explain why they don't like things for extended periods of time. You don't like Call of Duty. I get it. Nobody does anymore. Let's move on.
I've actually had to stop listening to several gaming-related podcasts for similar reasons. I stopped listening to 8-4 Play a long time ago because they're so negative. I want to stop listening to Player One Podcast because I get tired of hearing babies scream in the background and the hosts saying "uhhh.... yeah" to each other for an hour and a half, but for some reason I keep listening to it.
Edit: Also not a huge fan of Cannata. The other guy, Garnett Lee, bothers me too. Andrew Yoon seems to be a pretty okay guy.
I guess I'd prefer that to a "this game sucks I don't like it" and nothing else. I can handle someone not liking something I like if they at least explain it, if they just blow it off or are dismissive, that annoys me. To be honest that happens with some of the Giant Bomb guys sometimes and it can be irritating. Jeff's never come across as dismissive or sarcastic or snarky and that's the stuff the drives me crazy. I haven't always agreed with his opinion but it's usually well thought out and explained at least. If anybody made me grind my teeth on WC it was Garnett. I like him but sometimes he would say the craziest stuff to the point I wanted to reach into my iphone and strangle some sense into him.

I literally don't know what you're even talking about. I've listened to every single episode of Weekend Confirmed since the beginning. He's had dialogs about what he doesn't like for sure but if there is anyone who throws temper tantrums its Garnett Lee. Cannata is almost always composed I can't recall a single time where he's been overly negative about something.
Garnett Lee flipping out over Diablo 3 is one of the most amazing things I've ever heard on a podcast. Afterwards the whole studio seemed legitimately concerned if he was okay.
@jazgalaxy: Please give me a link that sounds hilarious
Uggggh I remember that. Garnett can be such an incredible doofus.
