Have they explained why the site doesn't stream at 60? Seems especially weird since the YouTube stream was at 60 so clearly they're already pushing it out live.

I just saw the bombcast notes.... ugh... more Destiny talk? Looks like I'll be skipping this one too. Is anyone else just sick to death about hearing about that game? Because for over a year now all I've heard is "this game is a horrible trainwreck. It has about 3 hours of real content in it, and then they recycle it over and over and over again. It has so many things that could be better" yet everyone is somehow still playing it. I heard that the new expansion is "much better, but still has lots of issues and doesn't fix most of the stuff" but again, people can't stop playing or talking about it. I honestly feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Anonymous askedo you think Giant Bomb will ever move to 1080p videos? If it's a matter of bandwidth, maybe make it a subscriber feature? Keep up the great work!
Jeff: Were always talking about 1080p/60fps, at least for stuff that doesnt include any camera shots. Unsurprisingly, Premium Members consume way more video than non-subscribers, so putting video that cost twice as much to host/distribute behind a paywall probably wouldnt actually help.
A lot of people are probably sick of hearing about it, but it's a hugely popular game. I enjoy it more than ever now. The Destiny talk is about 1/3 of the podcast, you could just skip past it!

Nah it's lame.
They haven't offered anything new on the subject for about a year.
"The raids are supposed to be good, I can't wait to play that thing."
It is their job to play and talk about new games, especially popular ones.
I imagine it makes up a small percentage of the overall 'cast. Just skip ahead.
I'll never get sick of Jeff crapping on Destiny.

Destiny deserves the coverage if this expansion fixes the problems people had with it initially, and who's to say Jeff isn't enjoying it now that he's done more than just the QL's worth of time into it? Plus it's their podcast so not much to be done about it.
If anything it'll make getting a PS4 later in the year all the sweeter for me.
edit:
fuck all videogames forever

Hopefully because it looks like it is a GBWest ql and the only person other than Jeff who knows much about that game in that office is Drew.
what a powerfully shitty reason.
These guys give us a lot of money, but fuck do they use the site too much!

That's not what he's saying. He's saying that if and when they do it, it'll just be for everybody. Making it Premium Exclusive doesn't make sense because it doesn't save them a whole lot.

And not by choice.
I'm saying his thought that locking it behind their premium wall wouldn't help the cost is more important to them than giving paying members a new feature or another incentive for those that aren't to subscribe.

I don't even understand what you're talking about here.

I just got called into jury duty for the fourth time this month with only three days remaining on my term. This is cruel and unusual punishment.

Just...just mention Giant Bomb.
"Why do you think you're not fit to serve?"
"GIANT BOMB"
"I'm sorry what!?"
"I AM A GIANT BOMB FAN"
"SIR IS THAT A THREAT"
"NO GIANT BOMB IS MY FAVORITE ENTERTAINMENT"
"You like to watch people be blown up!?"
"GIANT BOMB"

I was playing around on the Giant Bomb Android app on their wifi on my phone the last time I went in and was legitimately concerned there would be a problem.

Man, the levels just seem so hallow and shallow. They look like templets and then they just said "eh, ship it!"

Someone wrote in to the podcast a year or two ago with the same problem at an airport. They were approached by airport security because another passenger had seen them browsing for "giant bombs."
He's not making a value judgement on whether people use the site too much, or even ruling out moving to 1080p.
He's just saying the posters hypothetical (only give 1080p to premium) wouldn't solve the problem the poster imagines (bandwidth).
It's an entirely benign comment.

Haha, I made sure to be in the corner of the jury room by myself so nobody could see what I was looking at (It wasn't porn, don't worry). Pretty much every juror is getting called in though so I don't think I'll have that luxury again.

"It is like a completely new game!"
I've always wondered if Lil Wayne can actually skate worth shit. Has anyone seen film of him actually doing tricks or anything?
Apparently. Off to Seattle. Amazon? Microsoft? Valve? Bungie?
Definitely wish him the best, he is a cool dude on streams and Seattle is a great city.

Maybe they'll get what remains of Criterion to stick skateboards in that game they're ostensibly still working on that was announced primarily to fill time at an E3 conference
