Thats fucking amazing, loved October cast this year
He said he would be back for it.
He said on Idle Thumbs this past week that he was going to be back in town this month for the GOTY stuff.

Patrick should visit often. At least like bi-monthly or something.
I'm wondering if they'll bring on another personality in the next year, even with Drew as a more prominent personality and Rorie sometimes around the absence left by Ryan is still apparent. Especially in the weeks where they're stretched thin on content when others are out on assignment.

Is Patrick flying back on his own dime? I feel like it's weird that he's flying back twice in two months, and Alex gets to come out like once a year.

Patrick produces more, arguably better, content.

Drew has been great, Rorie needs to ditch the laptop though. I agree they probably need a new personality I just don't know who it would be. Then again Patrick was a great fit nobody was begging for so I'm sure they'll find someone. I think they definitely need someone entertaining more than they need someone experienced with games. These last few months have seen some of my favorite content on the site but they totally need somethin' a bit fresh.
Patrick is also hungry.
Rorie also needs to stop coughing and clearing his throat every few minutes.
On the bolded, there's probably someone with a good balance of both. I like Drew, but his lack of journalism background and industry experience shows when really inside-baseball conversations come up on the Bombcast or streams and he's silent for a good while. He does bring good conversation to the table, but for the purposes of the site and discussion it'd be nice to have someone more in line with Patrick or Jeff/Brad's background.

I also think they need to sit down and make a pact to write more. Don't write reviews or previews. Just write about whatever.
I agree. They are videos first website. But when there is not videos...they should get back to writing or editorializing a bit.

I'd like to see more bloggy stuff. Like when Jeff finds some weird game in his attic it be nice to read a little trip down memory lane, or have Brad articulate a DOTA match, etc. I CONSUME writing about games when its interesting personal anecdote stuff, but the more clinical buyers advice stuff bores me to tears.

Gosh, I know. It's impossible to find people like that these days that aren't tied down to a steady job!!

Too bad Rich Gallup became a billionaire after Fartcat became a global phenomenon.

I don't think Jeff Green would really fit as well as everyone thinks he does.
I think Jeff Green should be a regular on the Bombcast, if anything.
As long as CBSi pays for the plane tickets and hotel
I am laughing so hard at this. When he nearly won and snatched it away I could not stop laughing.
Ironically?
His love for horror trash is terrible. Spookin' is just boring as hell. He plays bad games and drinks coors lite is not a good gaming spot.
I just wish he would stick with things a bit longer than he tends to. He gets gaming ADD
Does Alex even work full-time for GB? Or is he more of a CBSi staff writer now? I swear I've seen him do stuff for Gamespot and tv.com.

Whao, it's that expensive for a national flight in america?

So lets put together a Typical schedule of their predictable shows.
I think they need something scheduled to compliment the bombcast, but that still leaves Wed and Thur vacant of any guaranteed content. I think Ideally Unpro Fridays would actually be on Wednesday with a free friday show more dedicated to flavor the week type of stuff. Of course they could solve everything and just do encyclopedia bombastica and nothing else.
- Monday: BombinAM
- Tuesday: Bombcast
- Wednesday:
- Thursday:
- Friday:BominAM/UnPro Fridays

I have no idea, I pulled that number out of my ass.
Yeah but then you're watching the shitty versions of the sport #crichipster

Chicago to SF could be done for about $300 round trip.
It's a little over 2k miles (or half the distance between Chicago and London). And Chicago is more central, so that's not even coast-to-coast. America is pretty big.
That's why it's bullshit when people complain that Americans don't travel. We're far as shit from the other side of our country, let alone other nations.
They definitely need another non-premium studio show. If a new viewer were to stumble upon their youtube channel, between the faceless quick looks and Patrick's home webcam stuff, it gives a really inaccurate impression of the site.

I wonder who owns the GBTNT gamertag. D:

They should play really hard NES/Genesis games on wednesdays or thursdays and legit try to get as far as possible while someone asks really complex/funny, user created/polled questions, and they have to try to not die in the game while answering with a time limit, and see how many "rounds" they can get through and rotate who plays every time someone dies. The host (Jeff) gets to pick the timing on when these questions are asked. There could be like a poll at the start of the show when they reveal the game where everyone votes for who they think will win. Just imagining Jeff ask Brad a crazy question at the worst possible time seems hilarious to me. I'm really tired, forgive me if this sounds awful.
Alex does like 9988% of the site's reviews
Patrick's gotten into self-promotion lately. Maybe it's a byproduct of being separated from the others. But the TED talk stuff... both the talk itself and the frequency with which it was brought up... I didn't care for it, personally.
I remember when Gary Whitta was the Gary Whitta of Giant Bomb. He used to always be there for TNT and stuff. Then came the Dark Times. :/
Anyway, Jeff Green would do well at CBSi if he had a role like he did with CGW/GFW/1UP. Obviously he wouldn't be producing a magazine but he could still set the editorial tone for the various gaming sites and shape the big picture.
