Ooooooh.
 
Leigh will never come back to the Bombcast. That screenshot where Ryan (I think it was him) accidentally leaked an IM discussion between him and someone else where they were openly talking about how fucked in the head Leigh was would make things pretty awkward, I assume.

Wait what. Was this a thing? Any way to see that?
 
After that Alex Hates Tuesdays video... I just want Giant Bomb coverage of the N-Gage launch lineup. I mean, its the week before E3!
 
Loving Vinny's Persona 4 screensavers.

It looked to me like it's just a screensaver that goes through a folder of images, because I also saw Sonic's Genesis Collection, Alan Wake: American Nightmare and Deadly Premonition, among others.

Here's to hoping that they get that LCD Soundsystem house again for E3, that place was great.

They've already said they tried, but they couldn't. The students who lived there had either graduated or moved out, and it has new occupants. They'll be staying at hotels, but filming at a new location, which is probably going to be a bar or something.
 
Wrong wrong wrong. The MS people were nearly as annoying as Leigh, that says a lot.

I generally dislike Jonathan Blow, but I don't see how it is even fathomable to think that the MS guys weren't the worst thing about the show. It was a nightmare. Jenova Chen was also a pretty bad guest, boring ass dude that everyone just gathered around quietly like he had special needs.
 
Personally, I think they need to bring a different ringer every night. GB has quite a few: Johnny V, Paul Barnett, Jeff Green, hell even John Davison now. Just set one of them up a night with a different group of people, and then if the people suck you know you have at least one guy who is comfortable with talking on the mic and can be entertaining. Finish up with the final cast including all of them.

The fuck? Jenova was great. Remember him carrying on the dating site prank discussion with his crazy stalker story? He said the word "duckface". It was amazing.
 
If I could have a perfect E3 cast it would be 3 segments.

Segment 1: Giant Bomb friends + other journalists crazy stories from E3/wherever including stuff like the Suge Knight tale, Johnny V stories, and other similar stuff.

Segment 2: Developers talking shop like the Jaffe + Double Fine + others portion from last year. It was so interesting.

Segment 3: Mostly Giant Bomb guys and maybe some other journalists giving impressions of things they actually saw that day.
 
I actually found the episode with Stepto to be a little enlightening in terms of meeting cert for XBLA and how it may not always serve the developers. I found Blow to be a little obnoxious and disappointed with how much the XBOX guys could say (come on you are not going to openly talk shit about your employer-you guys are asking a bit much of them). Jenova was just boring to me. Even if you despise XBOX and don't own a 360, at least the conversation was interesting.

This is what I want to hear most.
 
If anything, I want Greg Rice to come back and be passive aggressive about Summer of Arcade again to the Bastion guys. That was too god damn funny.
 
I'm actually more excited about the content post E3. It sounds like things will finally get back on track and I'm suffering Random PC and Load Our Last Save withdraw.
 
My Cards Against Humanity deck came today! I'm going to wait until Friday to open it when I have some friends over. Should be a lot of fun.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. RPCG and LOLS are the best pieces of content the site produces. Quick looks are fun yeah, I never have time for the podcast, and I couldn't give a shit about their reviews or news (I know why they exist and I'm sure plenty of people enjoy them, just not why I visit the site). I've been very patient and I hope the really really good stuff returns soon. Get on it Vinny and Drew! Oh and flight club. Always more flight club.
 
I want developer talk but I am a bit biased on that subject. Giant Bomb being friends with developers and talking shop is what had me listening to them in the first place. Forget the journalists or at least have the developers ask journalists questions. Johnny V would be epic.
 
Arghhhh Where's the friday radio show?? I missed it on friday and now I really need something to watch tonight.

I know it was a holiday yesterday but still... They get stuff on the site whittin hours sometimes but for other shows it will take weeks ugh.



And Alex just confirmed that he's on the bombcast this week. Not a surprise obviously.
 
Will there be a live commentary of the Konami press conference? I seem to recall they did that last year, or the year before.

Last year Konami pre-recorded their entire press conference and just allowed sites to put the video up at a certain time. Super weird. Hopefully this year it's actually live.
