No brad or jeff? Not even a Dave? Should this be called a bombcast even? No thank you. Well, hopefully next week will be the real deal again.

Some of the comments on this thread proves that the Giant Bomb community is no different to the communities on most other gaming sites. Sad really.

Man, Will Smith is fucking funny. I visited Tested just a few times, but him coming on the Bombcast makes me really want to get into that site, hoping they have some great video content like GB.  Great effing bombcast, super funny.

Great podcast.  The Tested guys fit in just fine.  Will talks just as much as Jeff and Norm is as quiet as Brad.

I got about 15 minutes in before I had to stop listening. Then, after hitting the iTunes store and subscribing to Tested's podcast, I resumed listening again. Great episode, and I'll probably dive right into the Tested podcast while working tomorrow. I absolutely love the premise of a tech site that isn't stuck up its own ass and is all too happy to convey how awesome it is to work at a tech site. Sad that it took this long for someone to get it this right, but glad these guys have done so.

I'm glad Giantbomb doesn't have guest speakers to make things awkward save for on their "on the road" casts but Will and Norm have been podcasting for at least a year now anyway, so they aren't stumbling around looking for shit to say, and that makes it fine by me.  I hope we get to see these guys cycle into the podcast more often.

Opened the Bombcast webpage on the site, saw the Fresh Prince picture for this week's Bombcast, and became instantly excited.  This Bombcast better not disappoint!!!
