brad is actually worse than Tom Mcshea in this video lol.  Guess if you give reviewers enough time they grow comfortable in their new skin.

Fu**.. look at him

Ya... Brad looks like he's going to Poop himself in nervousness.

Wow. They were once boys, but now they are men. 
 
Also, this link was posted a while back, but I figured you all should see it:
 

Haha, nice.  I want the GB staff to provide some input on these vids.

LMAO AT HIS HAIR AND BEARD.

awesome thread

I remember his shyness in the Jak 2 review. He's gotten much better now.

Yeah, I had the bleached hair in the early 00's, too. It was not an attractive time. 
 
These old reviews are great. It's not just their commentary and delivery that has improved, but the editing and technical side has changed so much, too. Even though they're sort of goofy, I'm glad to see them live on. The internet truly does never forget. 
 
I think this has been posted here before, but below is an introduction to one Brad Shoemaker: 
  

" Looks like a scientist "

This is my first time seeing that Brad came from Gamespot. Did Vinny come from there too?

God - I'm glad Brad and the bunch are free of Gamespot's shackles of attempted professionalism. So much more lively!

Duder, mem-o-ry LANE~!

It's time for some Navarro. 
 
  

" This is my first time seeing that Brad came from Gamespot. Did Vinny come from there too? "

Man, Brad's been inspiring me to do a lot of things lately.  First he inspired me to try and subsequently buy a Silent Hill game.  Now, through that first video, he's inspired me to get a haircut and shave.

dude, brad. your chops in front of the camera have increased 100 fold. gg duder.

Wow... I never realized that Gamespot banned personality in their video reviews back in the day.

brad looks high on ritalin  and reading a telemprompter like he works for an amusement park ride. 

This thread is AH-MAY-ZING. Brings back so many good, but mostly terrible memories of the Gamespot crew.
 
Dude, Ryan, bleached hair? What the fu-?

lol holy crap, who is that? Is that really Brad? :p

Why do they all sound really creepy in video reviews.

OMGGGG!!!!! excuse me while I wipe MY MIND off of my laptop screen

" @DewRequired: Wow. They might as well wipe out that site. They're pretty much getting everyone from Gamespot. "

That motherfucker looks like a child molester.  Oh man, hearing that opening music brings back memories.  Damn, fucking Gamespot, they dont know what they lost.

holy shit lol how did he even get to do more than one? he's really great now so someone obviously saw some potential but LOL these are quite hard to watch

" @Doctorchimp said:

" If we're doing this we're doing this...    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Y3r2DONz4Y Ryan was awesome. Like 90's awesome. "

Had to hold myself back from screaming... xD But yeah, there's another video somewhere that shows both Ryan and Jeff on a couch with their hair bleached. No idea where you would get such a terrible idea but thankfully they seem to have realised their mistake. "

Everyone, email the bombcast and ask for comments.

Dear god, I need to forget what I just looked at.

ROFL holy crap! I've never seen Brad look so rugged!

WHY IS EVERYONE DIGGING UP THIS STUFF?!

Just remembered that I have a copy of Resident Evil Outbreak around here somewhere. Gotta bust that out sometime soon.

I have no words.........what the fuck was that was that even brad

Oh man, this is really weird. I mean, a blond Ryan...WTF!

ha that video is funny.

This is really crazy. Feel like I just took a trip in a time machine.

Oh damn! I wonder how old I was when he made that... 
 
EDIT: And BLOND Ryan???? Madness!

It's so monotone. This is so awesome.

He's less of a zombie than he used to be, but he's still a zombie.

Brad bringing the charisma as always.

Wow, I knew Giant Bomb let them open up a bit more, and be more personal with their reviews, but WOW, they have improved dramatically since the GameSpot days.

His Jak 2 review takes me back. Oh man. Here's to twenty more years of monotone! Brad. \m/
