Also no update on iTunes yet. Is the Bombcast going up immediately?

Actual picture of Jason.
Sometime I get the bombcast on my phone before it's up on the site lol.
Not the end of the world but I hope it will go up in the next hour or so before I leave for work.
Sounds like the Beast needs to hire some Top Men.

Man, I'm really missing Old Games Show and Demo Derby. The crew playing old shit is pretty much when they're at their best.
It does. This is on GB East's end.
on behalf of Vinny, I thank you
Nice.

Not gonna lie, hearing Jason talk about sfv was the first time I got excited for the game. I could never get into the FADC stuff and even when I was ok at it it really didn't lend itself too well to online play.
I'll probably pick it up on PC when it launches just as an excuse to dust off my Saturn usb pad

Hasn't really been enough interest in the Beastcast threads aside from the first one to really justify a new thread for every episode imo. Maybe wait some time for the podcast to get better known on GAF and try again or something like that?

that downgrade talk, especially coming from Giant Bomb, was really refreshing.
I love Bakalar's total lack of a filter when it comes to shit like calling Ken Levine a robot.
they've gotten ~80 replies, that seems like enough for a thread.

i think podcast threads are completely unnecessary and the community is served better discussing these things in community threads
I dunno, I regularly see people who aren't regulars posting in the podcast threads. It can be intimidating for someone who doesn't post regularly in the OT's to come in and start contributing when there is already an established community at play. I think the podcast threads serve that purpose at the very least.

well then the need for a weekly thread seems excessive. Have a catch-all podcast thread then.
Yeah I don't really feel the need to go to a separate thread. This thread could actually use more discussion around actual gb content. The weird thing I suppose is that we're now in community and there's probably a lot of people who listen to the podcast(s) but don't want to engage in this thread. (edit: like bacon said)
I hope people don't feel intimidated coming into this thread. It could use more fresh faces and opinions. I can see some of the cliquey aspects putting people off though, but that's kind of a given with any community thread.
I feel like if you don't immediately listen to the entire podcast right away, there's no point in going into those threads.
As I tend to take a week to listen to the entire things (I have a ~25 minute commute each way and listen to it on that), I'm so far behind that I don't bother.
For instance, I just finished the Bombcast this morning.
Catch-all podcast thread would be exiled to Community and die.

Vinny's on the ball, last week it went up at 7:30am ET as well. Too bad it wasn't on itunes yet during my commute
giant beast are real trend buckers
More than enough interest in the Bombcast threads to justify at least keeping that one. There's always people posting in those threads that are not regulars here.

Meh, I guess it's good for the site to have some presence in Gaming side so even though i dont think it's necessary i suppose it's better than not having any exposure on that end.
Also, Jeff B. seems like he'd fit in perfectly well on the westcast given that he makes wild assumptions and lack of fact checking. I mean, crapping on Powers aint nothing new but at least know that the stupid thing got renewed for a second season.

Especially when the separate thread tends to devolve into senseless bashing.
Backalar is doing better for me this podcast, but for some weird reason I'm having trouble understanding him and separating him from Austin. When Jeff gets excited or something, he starts talking really fast and slurs words together. Am I alone in having these problems?

no, I get them mixed up all of the time too. Austin has a really small lisp which helps to pick him out but you don't really hear it unless he goes off for a length of time.
Jeff B has nothing on Russ Frushtick who insisted on their 2014 recap show that Sony exclusives like Uncharted (currently at 21 million units) don't sell well.

I'm not gonna lie, the first time they were both on the podcast I didn't realize until the very end that there were 4 people, not 3. When I realized it I was like

I'm starting to think I have a good ear for differentiating voices. I've seen similar discussions about other podcasts and I've never had an issue picking out who was speaking.
Same here. Has never really been an issue for me.

I think I'm a weird case, but my problem is never telling the voices apart, but it takes me super long to attach the names to the voices. I've listened to MBMBaM and Adventure Zone for a few months now and still could not tell you what voice belongs to what brother. There's just some kind of disconnect on the names aspect for me.
Probably doesn't help that I'm absolutely horrible remember names as it is, I have the same issues with people I see on a regular basis.

That's an issue I also have. Remembering names is the worst for me. Faces and voices are something I always remember.
So whenever a party scenario happens to involve the introduction of people you can be sure like an hour later I remember maybe one of them.
Yeah I'm the same for MBMBaM. I recognize Justin since I've seen him in so many different things but the other two brothers are always mixed up.

I think it would be solved if there was more live content from the beast side and I could really learn the group.
On the GOG note, I'm mad at myself for how many games I'm buying when I have an impossible backlog. I got Luftrausers and Paranautical Activity because they were so cheap, and now Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae is two dollars and Valdis Story is four. I really like Galaxy's set up even if it's just in Beta-- having the thing that says "never been played' motivates me to try it at least once.
I still don't know the names of most of my coworkers...

well it would make sense that brothers would sound alike.
I'm terrible at telling voices apart until I've seen those people on video, so I can attach faces to those voices. Happened to me with 8-4: I couldn't for the life of me tell who was who on that podcast for months until I watched the video of Brad interviewing them and a couple of other videos.
I never had that problem with Jeff B and Austin, but I think that's probably because I had already heard Jeff on a couple of other podcasts so I knew his voice.

I had a funny case of where I had listened to The Comedy Button for a long time and had no idea what any of them looked like. I had these pictures in my head of what they all looked like and then hearing all the descriptions of the bombcast guys decided to go look at what the Button crew looked like. Instantly regretted it. I will never watch a video of theirs again. I just had a picture in my head and it felt weird seeing they looked nothing like their voices sounded.
I think I am with Alex, I need WATTAM in my life: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/what-in-the-actual-heck-is-going-on-in-this-wattam/2300-10261/
