" Where is my Season 4 banner thing?! I want to know what they're playing for this time!  Also, yay Bombcast! "

" Where as Minerva's Den and Pigsy's Perfect 10 were both great DLC for okay games."

BioShock 2 is pretty great, actually. And I've heard nothing but good things about Enslaved. Shadow Broker lost because it was effectively a Mass Effect text file and a giant ship. There. I made sense of it for you :) "

yeah buddy, first o'the year

" When Drew said "If you can hear me, turn your microphone on" it sounded so close and in my ear it REALLY creeped me out. I thought someone was talking to me on Ventrilo or something and I had to listen to it 3 or 4 times.  Why did he say it? It was so out of place! "

When they were talking about Empire Strikes Back and Vinnie tries to do the music, he’s actually doing the theme from Airwolf…

Now that they start playing it, Giant Bomb starts to realize that BioShock 2 is actually a pretty good game. That Little Sisters part was one of my favorite gaming moments of 2010.

That wasn't TRON. That was Airwolf!

Drew telling me to turn my microphone on scared the fuck clean out of me. THERE WAS NO ONE ON VENTRILO BUT ME!

Vinny was totally singing the theme of Airwolf.

. i loved Enslaved personally, so you've heard right, but many magazines didn't rate it so high for some reason? Not sure why."

You guys did present well over the holliday with your  best of, worst of/games of the year. 
 
As for the conspiracy theories, ppl. only have what they see to work with, and yes it being the internet, some ppl will work what they got much harder than say washing the dishes stacked up in the sink for a week. There is no such thing, for some though not all thoughmind you,  as overkill or even  allowance that you guys may be basically at the core honest. For the rest of us, various shades of grey to white. Why Giant bomb exists in the first place is the kind of thing ppl. tend to find easy to accept. Corporation consipracy caused it, at least inadvertingly. 
 
And for that I am so glad.

"Vinny was totally singing the theme of Airwolf. "

I liked listening to the podcasts, Ryan. They were awesome. I also like the small teams, and the conspiracy theories are ridiculous.
 
EDIT: Oh yeah, and WET was (and still is) Awesome! But hey, haters gonna hate.

props to ryan for giving new vegas the respect it deserves, other than the technical problems, it is a huge improvement over fallout 3.

Is it just me, or has there been a few instances of skipping in the last few Bombcasts? Seems to happen just after 1:41:30, during the Reccetear discussion in this one, but I've noticed it a couple times before on others. 
 
Maybe Ryan's laptop can't take it any more.

sorry for trashing your goty podcasts giant bomb.  i was wrong.

I'm entirely behind 'The Sess Pool' as the name for Sessler's new G4 segment.

"They get to see me being fat in my living room, nothing to shocking going on there" 
lol I love you Ryan

"Vinny was totally singing the theme of Airwolf. "

What WAS the deal with Drew talking about the mic like that? 

neat

early bombcast ftw!!!!!!

" early bombcast ftw!!!!!! "

A bombcast yes I would like a bombcast yes i said yes

Why do they post it so late on Tuesdays when they obviously record on Mondays?  It should really be posted right when they get in to the office Tuesday morning, or at least close to that.  The jig's up, guys!  You don't need to hold it back so we think you record on Tuesday!  

I fucking missed Jeff, glad to see my favourite video game journalist back at the best site on the internet!

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say they probably record it once everything else is done on Monday, and then Ryan edits it up the next day, only then is it posted. "

I CAN HEAR YOU DREW HOW DO I TURN ON MY MIC?

 I don't know about magazines specifically since I don't read print publications, but  Enslaved averaged around the 80's or above (4/5 where appropriate) on review scores.
