WHIPPED CREAM POURING LIKE WATERFALLS

What the fuck is Ryan's problem with the Nintendo segment? Is it really that much of a chore to do it every week that you would get rid of it even though it's the funniest part of the show?

That was a great one. This, combined with This American Life and Screened Door, just made for a really great first half of work.

Why is Brad bummed out that he didn't could consider Bayonetta for GOTY? It came out '09...

Opinions. For me it's the most superflous part of the show.    It was okay this week because it was different but usually that loud screaming really bothers me. "

Well, obviously the staff enjoys it, and from what I've seen most listeners enjoy it, so I think it should stay. "

P I Z Z A, I want pizza!

Would love to hear a podcast on gaming coverage, the machinations and so on. It is so awesome to learn about the great and scummy part of the gaming press business. Loved the talk on Game Informer.

That was -as per usual- bad-ass. Keep it coming guys! BTW Jeff Green for the win, for all  y'all haters out there.

Damn it last night I was having suuuch a shitty time. But I put on this podcast and was laughing in minutes. Thanks Bombcast!

 PIZZAAA! MEATBALLLSS! WHIPPED CREAM POURING LIKE WATERRRFALLLLLS!!

Always good to hear Jeff Green. 
I never played Bayonetta and just forgot about it.  So I just ordered it. 
If it sucks: fuck you guys.  If I like it: I did it all on my own and am so smart.

I would dearly miss the Wii/DSiware section if you cut it.
 Some of the funniest moments in Bombcast history came from your readings of those discriptions.

I loved Black Ops, but really got tired of the FOLLOW sign over Woods' head the whole time.

I just came to this thread to sell some quality shirts.

Ur shirts sux fu :(

Hey! This is GiantBomb, not IGN. Go sell your shit there!

Elcor Jeff!

Ryan, do nothing about the wiiware and DSI sections. Its literally my favorite part of the show.

Neither do you. I'm only making an observation. "

Sorry, but I had to to skip the whole Nintendo segment this week.  It's just not for me.  I would prefer if Ryan did eliminate it all together and they just do emails for longer.  Emails are often my favorite part of the show and it is also way to short most of the time.  

We use to play clicks to Hitler, clicks to tom sellick someone is rich from an old forum game.

But unlike me, you assumed you do speak for the majority of listeners. "

Jeff Green is a pretty swell guy, I'm sure he'll do great work for PopCap.

Jeff reading Nintendo downloads sounds like the RedLetterMedia guy who reviews the Star Wars movies on YouTube.
 
Also, I don't think Vinny's issues with WoW are that it's 6 years old now, it's just an MMO. Even the latest MMOs have NPCs standing around, activating scripts and having clunky animations. As someone who started playing WoW a mere 3 months ago, I'm still very impressed how polished and fully featured the game still is and the effort they put into updating it.

This podcast made me finally install Bayonetta

Hey GB guy, here is your competitive time-based Wiki game.

Awesome podcast. :D

I am now excited for GOTY Bombcast.

Yeah, the phasing thing in WoW is awesome and revolutionary.  Almost as awesome and revolutionary as when Guild Wars did it first.

best. bombcast. ever.

Weakest Bombcast yet. No direction, no real issue to talk about, the guest was there (that's all I really have to say about him) , they were just farting around. Ohh well, at least Demon's Souls helped to ignore most of it.  

@Woodroez @Vager 
Well there was a nuke, after checking what happens he actually flies the nuke away from the city and drops it in the ocean, so the city is there and still infected, even I didn't remember that bit, but I did remember him using a crow to reconstruct his face at the end.

Guild Wars did the phasing thing waaay long ago, its neat that Warcraft does it, but its no that impressive really....

I want to interject on this argument to add a third party opinion. I would also like to state I've played barely any Bioshock and have never touched Bioshock 2. What I say here is based on what I've heard from several sources. Now from what I've heard of Bioshock 2 I've heard it's a good game, but it is not better than Bioshock. I've heard that it just does no do enough with the universe that has been established to really draw people in. Now I've heard some opinions say it was a great game, but those people also said it is mainly because of their love for the original Bioshock that made them like Bioshock 2. Now when it comes to Giant Bomb's opinions on the game, Jeff has all the right in the world to reflect upon his previous opinion and change it up. I doubt you've never played a game or watched a movie and then changed your opinion on that several months later because you've had time to think about it. Now pandering, from my experience with Giant Bomb they are not at all those kind of people. I've heard them pan games that everyone else love and the advantage to having several different employees that share different opinions is that we'll either get agreement or debate. You saying they're a Levine fanboy? That is stupid thinking that because they like a developer that they would change their opinion of a game. I consider myself a Sonic fanboy but I rarely agree with all the other Sonic fanboys you see.

Now this is just my opinion, but it seems more like they don't like a game you like and that just gets to you. You're opinions could be completely true but just because people share a different opinion than you does not make it right to try to impose your own opinions on everyone else and try to turn us against the Giant Bomb guys. I'm not trying to be insulting, I just wanted to get my opinion out there.

Best Wii and DSi ware I think I've ever heard :L:L

If Bioware doesn't make Jeff an Elcor in Mass Effect 3, they're really missing out on an awesome opportunity...
