I'd really love to see some best of this generation type shows later on this year.
I imagine those will happen, maybe each staff member has their own choices then spends a couple of hours on the couch playing them with the rest of the guys.

Is no games, PAX, GDC, planning for E3 not enough of a good reason?
these happened in march

To me mailbags are just random extras, but I suppose they'll do if you want to count them.
The return of BMC and Jurassic Lark were much appreciated though.
My bad, seemed like yesterday. I always get the impression that they're doing something though. That one email I got from Jeff answering my support email made me realize that they have obligations outside making dumb videos.

That's actually a good example: what a colossal waste of Jeff's time and talent to make him answer support emails.

Heh...
Is that Dave Lang or Macklemore?
You've cracked the case, they're shutting Giant Bomb down on July 1st
Yeah that's Dave Lang from the hidden bonus features in his 98 hockey game on the N64.

Was thinking the exact same thing.
I finished watching the Running of the Lanterns last night. It was so great and that ending.
One thing I noticed while watching. Ryan is a sweet guy, always lending a hand and staying back, never too greedy. Brad on the other hand man, what a jerk. This dude took so many power ups, and played like a maniac most of the time. Reminds me of my brother the selfish bastard. I was so salty at the end too. The among of rage on all sides was awesome.
Think I might try this with my friends, hopefully we'll still be friends by the end of it.
Drew talking at the end was the best

Those are my expectations. That can still be fun!
I find it very weird that CBSi doesn't have a unified help desk for their various sites.
Yes, what the FUCK is up with that?
I thought Dave (now Matt) was in charge of that stuff.
Hahaha. That moment was awesome since I knew what was said. The best part was Ryan saying "yes, because everything said up 'till this point has been perfectly acceptable right?"
I want more of this. The rage on all sides was so good.

The link they give to Giant Bomb support 404s. Slightly amusing.
But if you click the #5 option (Membership, Registration, Passwords, Subscriptions, and Downloads) it brings up a list of links to the various CBSi sites. CNET alone has four different ones, pointing to different domains.
And GB isn't listed at all under that option.
At the beginning of the first lantern run they said that one person should try to get all the power ups because you always need at least one lantern so they offered Brad that role.
I just think you're painting him in a worse light than it actually was.
its going to be monthly now (aka you'll soon forget about it and it will never return at all)

Just watching the new Jar Time and Jeff is saying that Dave left? Thought I saw something about it in this thread but figured someone was just meme-tweaking. When did this happen? Any kind of 'goodbye' on the site that I missed?

The content is the exact same for the most part.
Plus they would just complain about Chie's new VO the whole time.
As I see it, This American Life's core strength is that it takes interesting things and makes them easily digestible to people coming to the concepts with no knowledge. That's why I found Picture Show so fascinating - the Israeli 'mapping' story was basically just 'hey this thing exists' and the Israeli military spokesman denying it exists. And the art trade dude was basically more or less the same. But they tell it in this really interesting way; they just break it down into its component parts, explain it all in a non-condenscending way, and that's more or less it. But it's still super interesting.
Anyway, what kind of mic were you looking at?
Patrick/Brad ER with occasional Jeff and Vinny interjections for new content

Well, I meant so that Brad would have an excuse to play the game instead of keeping it in his cheeks like a gaming squirrel. lol
I think Brad acts jerky on the podcasts when he ALWAYS wants to reveal spoilers. I'm like dude Tomb Raider has only been out for a few weeks. Will you calm the eff down about the spoilers?
HHAHAAHAHAHA. I'm sure that'll be just as popular as the Chrono Trigger ER. If it doesn't involve either Jeff or Vinny, don't bother with an ER. Straight up.
Well, I ain't really calling him a jerk. Just dude horded the shit out of the items. There were so many moments where all four lanterns were going and Ryan or Will would be close to death and Brad would just scoop up everything, then die first lol. Even the guys started commenting on it. Brad is a selfish lover.
Brads spoiler policy is really god damned infuriating yeah. If he hasn't played a game he'll call out spoilers on any little bit of info, but as soon as he's completed it he seems to instantly become so laissez faire in regards to any spoilers in the game.
I wouldn't mind if the just cut in something like "Hey, were going to talk about this game with spoilers, to avoid just jump to the 'x' time." Because otherwise your choice is either fast forward through the part while listening to a couple seconds of every minute until it seems like they're done talking about it, or just skip the podcast for the week which really blows.
Brad just seems really competitive in a lot of games. If it's a competing game he wants to win - understandably - and if it's a co-op game he wants to be the best, which is a little less admirable.

In that new jar time when Jeff says "blah blah losing his site blah blah" I was like "OH SHIT DAVE WENT BLIND?!?" Then I released he was talking about the website.

Eh, I'm going through the Deadly Premonition endurance runs at the moment, and really enjoying the Brad/Ryan one. Ryan surprising me by picking up on little details, Brad's mood constantly going from going from utter misery to fully stoked and back. Not that the V/J one isn't fun, but it seems a lot more predictable - "lets listen to Vinny and Jeff make snide comments about the game again".

Speaking of which, have we ever seen Rorie and Dave in the same room at the same time?
