Yeah that was weird. Don't want to pry into his personal life though.
They don't have any premium podcasts that are consistent enough to be separated into their own feed.I wish they would have separate feeds for their premium podcasts, kind of annoying when shows I'm not interested in keep auto-downloading.

It's mostly getting two bombcasts every week, I don't mind the version with ads. Fair point though. For the rest I think Alt-F1 has been the only consistent show, if they keep going at they pace they're at it could warrant its own feed.
Totally unprofessional. He lacks so much tact on so many things.
Speaking of which, there is no way to get a premium feed of the premium cats on my iphone through the podcast app is there? What about a third party app?
You have to use a 3rd party app that supports passwords. I used downcast myself.\Speaking of which, there is no way to get a premium feed of the premium cats on my iphone through the podcast app is there? What about a third party app?

Reading the last few pages, would just like to say I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by them complaining about people wanting a specific content, and it's been going on for years. Shit like "the more you ask for another endurance run the less we want to make it" comments in the bombcast years ago, like...why be a prick about it? Oh no people want more of your content that they love, what assholes. It's been bothering me for a long time, glad I'm not the only one
Jeff has made it clear since day 1 that he (and ostensibly anyone he brings on board) is about doing what he wants to do, regardless of revenue, traffic numbers, or any of that shit being a motivation or an influence on the content. it just so happens a LOT of people like what Giant Bomb does. they are in a very unique position: being able to do whatever and more-or-less 'getting away with it' in terms of sustainability and profitability.
they're not about to squander that by doing "Load Our Last ________" and "Flight Club" features for eternity.

Because I shouldn't have to hear how hungover he is or anyone is on the website. Giantbomb is fairly lax and carefree but Rorie especially seems to never know whats right to say. He's had this issue before in podcasts.What does it matter?

This seems like a weird stance to take on a website where they drink on a good portion of the videos. Especially regarding a less than a minute talking point as part of the introduction of a podcast.

I... what? He never knows what to say as opposed to what? Should Brad never have talked about how sick he was during the winter? I mean, we're talking about the website where they regularly drink on camera and Brad constantly falls asleep during livestreams.
This is a really strange complaint. I'm not even actually sure what the complaint is, really.
Hey, they should do another Endurance Run.
That's one awful Bill Cosby impression.Do you guys remember the engineer Ted at Whiskey Media? The guy who did the Bill Cosby impression? He wasn't around long and after he 'left', Dave made it clear he wasn't too fond of him on TNT.

I can't imagine what this thread is going to be like when GB gets more permanent staff. Outrage/explosions/happiness.
I wish.Its time for that Yakuza 3 ER!

Was waiting for a Child of Light review... hee nvm why would they bother with reviews anyway? I guess they busy being twitter super stars or whatever.
Probably even more. It'll be fuckin terrible in this thread when new heads get brought in.I wonder if the new person/people will get as much shit as Patrick?

Blah blah meetings, something something lack of staff.
There's always going to be an excuse for lack of content, when they eventually hire the new staff the excuse is going to be "we are teaching them how to giantbomb".
Been fed up with their output for months, it's galling to take peoples subscription money and then say "we do what we want, tough shit"
I'm not saying they should ask how high when I say jump but looking at subscriber feed it's mostly Unpro Fridays which are usually boring rehashes of games they have just played days before.
The subscriber content has been lacking lately, but Feb and March was pretty packed with stuff. Although if you didn't like the "Souls" playthroughs than there wasn't that much. If you did it was basically an endurance run. But I do agree that they should pay more attention to their subscriber content output specifically. $5 a month isn't nothing.
My issue is that I don't really like watching any of the non-SF GB content so there has become a large chunk of subscriber content that I just avoid. I know a lot of people enjoy Patrick's content, but I personally don't so it makes the lack of SF GB content more noticeable. I feel like Jeff or someone said that Patrick and Alex's content wouldn't replace anything the main GB crew does, but its starting to feel like it is.
The non-SF part is a pretty major part of their staff now, you know, with the whole thing last year.
i didnt know people cared about reviews from www.giantbomb.com
i dont think ever read one from beginning to end
That doesn't mean I personally enjoy the content. It has never had the same feel as the SF content and much of the content Patrick puts out is solo, which is just boring to me. The only staff member I enjoy solo videos from is Jeff to be honest. I stated in my last post that I know others enjoy that content so I wouldn't want it to stop, but I also don't want it to become an excuse for a lack of SF content. The non-SF content should add to the site, not replace anything they already do. Even with what happened last year, they have shown that they are more than capable of filling a week with content with just the SF crew.
If we were in oct-nov I would totally get it, but common! There is barely anything out these days, why not give coverage to quite possibly the most interesting release this month?
I'm just feed up with their diva attitude, not gonna keep giving money to a group of man-child so they can slack up, specially with this economic climate where people with real jobs, that cover real needs are having hard times.
Sorry if I sound hateful, I just miss the good old Giantbomb.
I think at some point we have to accept that the non-SF content are going to be considered as main content just due to staff limitations when it's 2/5 (1/3 if we count drew) of your on video staff.. It will have to replace some bit and pieces at some point.
I resubscribed a while ago and if it wasn't for my undying fandom of the bombcast and the crew from past work I would have let it go. Can't remember the last time I actually sat through an Unprofessional Friday. They've been quite boring.My premium ran out a little while ago, I've been thinking about renewing but the lack of good content has put me off recently.
