IMO it's because they're the two guys at Giant Bomb who are playing the most games and are still excited about them.
Especially because their discussions are purely out of personal interest. Awesome feature.

Giantbomb is a personality website and they're more into 360 and pc, so they cover more games on those platforms.
Definitely. They play off against each other way better than I expected.

I guess this should've been expected.

Really digging this Scoops and the Wolf show (and honestly the name itself is great)
The part where they mention Lost Planet 3 made me a chuckle.

I think so. When they just had the video I kept it on a seperate taband was able to enjoy listening to them while browsing the web.
Make sure to watch the Electronic Super Joy QL. Jeff trolling Brad never gets old.

hope they show off spies vs mercs
If there's one think I love about Giant Bomb, it's Brad getting angry and salty.
I remember a UPF a little while ago (i think) and Jeff was in a really obvious way taunting Brad saying ''dota 2 sucks'' and really childish stuff like that and Brad actually got hooked by Jeff's baiting, you could see him getting annoyed, like how easy are you to troll.
Never gets old though.

I just hope Vinny keeps Brad's ass to the fire on his top 10. If that becomes a running theme through the end of the year I'll be happy.

Ditto. Watched most of it on the commute this morning and really enjoying it.

Scoops and the Wolf is definitely becoming a must-watch feature. Needs more coffee mugs though.

I'll echo the Scoops & The Wolf comments. Its been very good so far. It deserves its own thread IMO. I might put one up later if no one else does
I mostly just listen to the bombcast and would have missed bombin' the am if I didn't venture into this thread every once in awhile

Just over 2 hours.
10AM Pacific time. That's early for Jeff?

Probably earlier for setting up and junk.

I seem to remember somebody (think it was Vinny) saying he works from 10-6, and I imagine all of them work similar schedules. So to set up for a 10:00 conference, they'd probably have to get in at least a half hour earlier than usual.
Bro in places like SF and New York it is! I work 11-7 sometimes.
YES! I will watch that. New fresh interesting relevent content!

Yup, they picked great days of the week for it too to fill in days that don't have alot of regular content

Of course I'm away from my computer the day they'll be doing a press conference live stream 
Their Sony watch was pretty damn awesome IMO. Ryan was a boss during it, espousing about Cerny.
Ryan was spectacular during both.

The back-and-forth between Ryan and man-on-the-scene Jeff "The Prowler" Gerstmann during the Xbone reveal catastrofuck was brillaint to see.
Still, nice to have Jeff present for a conference stream for once.

Seems like people are unhappy with how Payday was portrayed in the QL.
I have not played either Payday, so maybe I'm making some incorrect judgements here, but Payday 2 really seems like a game you need to play coop with friends, or at least people you can communicate with via a mic. It also seems you need to play a mission a few times before you find out what the best approach is, and then strive to excecute it as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Reviewing these types of games is always hard (same as fighting games, or stuff like Monster Hunter) - because you need to play them for at least a week or so to see if the higher-level systems hold up and it's still fun at that level - but shooting a Quick Look after having minimal experience with the game sounds especially bad. At that point, I think if nobody on the crew is interested in investing time learning the game, they should just not QL it. It will not give viewers a well-informed perspective on the game, which is the function of QLs (besides entertainment).
TL;DR: If the GB crew can't give a well-informed perspective on the game, they should consider not Quick Looking it at all.
