I'm not too familiar with Jeff Green, but after this episode, I love the guy. He's honest, unapologetic, and hilarious.

And goddamn Vinny, you're a sneaky son of a bitch with that intro!!

Check out the GFW podcast. It's easily one the best podcasts ever made.

Patrick actually did sound salty about not being able to go to the NY event.

Tension!


Also, Vinny is the best host and editor, sorry Ryan/Jeff.

I'm sure he would have gone if it was on the West Coast. But if you have Alex Navarro in NYC and you don't send him to an event there, there's really no point in having him on the staff.
 
Great episode,

Maybe they should bring in guests more often.

This...And I don't see why they cant "skype"in Patrick on a regular basis. The reason given when he left to Chicago a while back seemed dumb. Vinny seemed to have a solution then and it shows because Patrick only seems to appear when Vinny hosts. It sounds "natural" like he in the studio anyway, I don't see why they don't make it official. Hell who knows maybe its Patrick who cant do it logistically anymore.
 
They just need to have a new 4 hour podcast on Monday with Vinny, Drew, Jeff, Brad, and Patrick. Problem solved!

Vinny's hosting and editing is ridiculously good though, especially the latter. The editing when Jeff sold World of Warcraft was amazing.

I love Jeff on the podcast, but Vinny is and would be a better host.
I totally feel the same way. It's honestly not mean-spirited towards Jeff (I think he's awesome), but the energy is just that much better with Vinny leading through. It's more brisk, inquisitive and joyful.

Making Vinny host and bringing in more guests every so often and Patrick weekly for news would be awesome, imo.

Co-signage...at the very least switch off every week. Player one used to change host often and it switched things up for better or worse.
 
I think Jeff-casts work best when they're once every blue moon and totally off the rails. I think a regular Vinny-cast with a few Jeff-casts spread throughout the year would play to their strengths.

It's really too bad Brad Muir has to waste time developing games when he could be podcasting with Giantbomb instead :) Any time he is a guest it makes me so happy.
 
Patrick hanging Chicago suburbs food out to dry is sad. There's loads of good local places.
The sad part is if he is in Arlington Heights and thinks there is no good food, he is probably missing out on the tons of good Japanese places out there.

Really loved that we finally got some good Dark Souls talk from this one. Also Jeff I love ya, but let Vinny host, much more energy and just enjoyable.

I live in Arlington Heights, and Patrick is full of shit. My guess is he was just talking out of his ass to look cool, or something.

So, after the first VinnCast, while an incredible episode (already listed to it two times and I'm sure I'll shoot for a third one of these days), I honestly just chalked it up to Vincent just having a really good first run.

Nope.

This episode made me realize that I really want Vinny to host the Bombcast from now on. I still love my man Jeff (Gerstmann that is, not Green, though he's cool too) but there's just a different attitude when Vinny's hosting that changes the atmosphere and in turn the episode into a lot more light-hearted and much more fun thing to listen too. I haven't even read the comments in this thread, but I'm almost positive they'll all line up with how I feel.

Vinny hosting reminds me a lot of Rich Gallup hosting the Hotspot, which is pretty much the highest praise I can give.

Patrick calling in for news segments needs to be an ongoing thing. I miss hearing him on the Bombcast.

This might be the best episode of the Bombcast ever. Move aside number station episode.

Vinny is really good at this podcasting thing. All the little musical stuff in this episode was hilarious (especially liked Jeffs WOW pitch) and while he's not necessarily keeping things on topic, he does keep the discussion moving really well.
 
great eps. one of the few podcasts where I look forward to emails, especially these days where its just experts dropping knowledge bombs.

and disappointed brad, One of the rare shooters coming out that is fast paced, and you rather play it on consoles than pc!

Jeff Gerstman is the Bombcast.

This episode was good. I like enjoyed listening to like brad Muir but like he has this like vocal tick and like after like 2 hours I'm like this is like really like distracting.

Was I imagining this or did the mood change dramatically once Patrick was on? There was a distinct feeling of unease, negativity.
 
Worst episode in years.

EDIT: because of the guests. i wanna punch that one dude in the face. over and over again.

You are an angry person. Seek help!

Anyway, I loved this episode. Like Brad Muir, and obviously Jeff Green is MADE for the bombcast and Giantbomb in general.
