Nvidia ShadowPlay is actually really good, in fact the best recording software out there right now. Xbox One's GameDVR however sucks, the quality is bad and it only records 5 mins, ShadowPlay records as long as you like and up to 20 mins of past events.

Wow I never expected Jeff to finally kick the habit of watching WWE though that remains to be seen. Regardless of how much he complains about it he always seemed like such a literal die hard fan of that company. I almost feel bad for him but ultimately it's his own fault for obsessing over the production end of things instead of just finding something enjoyable to watch. There are alternatives but none in the vein of the petty endless soap opera train wreck that Jeff wants everything to be. Oh well, his list of likes continues to get shorter with each passing year. I think the only things left are pinball, video games, and rap music and let's face it, all music is terrible. Thanks for the Bombcast fellas. I never miss a week.

Brad and Jeff are completely insane. David Wise >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Grant Kirkhope.

@toparaman said:

I like David Wise's music more than Kirkhope's. It's more atmospheric and dramatic, whereas Kirkhope's music is goofier.

Damn right! Wise's stuff is so much better, it's not even close.

I'm not surprised, however. Jeff has bad taste in pretty much everything and Brad says what Jeff says, as usual.

Is the podcast fucked up again? At minute 64 Jeff sounds skippy talking about Captain America uniforms. Maybe it's time to retire Audacity.

Nothing wrong with Audacity, they have been using it for years without more than a few minor issues...

Seems like something going on with how it's getting processed.

Hey caseman, thanks for your response. It's tough to get a conversation on the message boards here which is even moderately critical of content without a torrent of "you are poison", "you don't deserve an opinion", "leave" type of comments.

Hell yes, this is something that the Giantbomb community, especially the premium community seam to be read to jump down your throat at the slightest criticism of the site.

Personally, I think that the podcast have returned to a high not seen since Ryan passed, but it is entirely fair for you to provide your feedback on it, and your feedback is that it is not doing great. You paid good money, that I am assuming that you worked hard for, to be a premium member. Giant Bomb took that money in return for providing a product, the sites content. In any other transaction, no one would bat an eye about someone leaving some negative feedback.

TLDR: Let people complain, they have paid for their ticket, so don't try and yell them down.

Still my favorite podcast. By far. To each his own... If you don't like a negative opinion, why not just ignore it and move forward with positive thoughts? We all miss Ryan and Vinny and Patrick (well most of us - took me a bit to warm up to him too) but like all great bands, line-ups sometimes change and sounds evolve. DEAL.

:)

Given how litigious that cult is, I totally get it.

@enragedstump

That became more structured and unfortunately started to lose a lot of the magic (remember those awful never-ending segments of Jeff reading the DS store updates, eventually Ryan canceled that segment).

.

You god damned monster.

I came here to find the dude Brad owned on Tumblr but I guess he deleted his comment in shame WHOOPS

Totally did the same thing.

All the execs they had a problem with are long gone.

@spitznock: Thank you! That guy has been living in California for too long.

The incessant useage of "like" and "you know" are a blight.

I donĀ“t like him any less for it though, mind you :-)

We need an Encyclopedia LaOastica Bombcast each week where Jeff just re-enacts episodes of law and order in made up voices.
