I know, it's like reading yesterdays newspaper. We ain't in print we're on the internet!

Having the two news guys cover it seems like a sensible division of labour.

I mean, it makes sense for Patrick to talk about it - and he said he guessed wrong about what would happen on the podcast yesterday - but to be honest, I'm more interested in Jeff's take on the whole thing. I can guess at what he'd say, but I just want to hear him say it, if that makes any sense.
HAHA, totally forgot about Magrino.
They barley have the staff to maintain the site as it is. A live show like that would be to much work for them. Maybe in 5 years time they will have the staff and infrastructure to do a live breaking news show from SF but right now its clear that they just don't have the ability to do that.

Is it weird than I am hoping their are ads in today's Bombcast to see how Small Business Man copes without Jeff to help him?
How do you pronounce it?
Definitely not. It's time to see if small business man can successfully build a business.
I don't believe they're wrong with it but I always pronounced it differently.
Mine is the 1st way: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2vXDx1Jnfc

This is not the first time that it happens. As I remember that other big news have dropped late tuesday in the past months.
I say the first way when referring to maths i.e integrate this function F(x) and the second way when referring to its synonym 'it's key to this object'.
I've taken too many calculus courses to pronounce it any differently!
On another note, it also seems like they won't be adding any segments to the Bombcast today.
Jeff isn't even in the office so the point is moot. Try asking him on tumblr.
They probably should fix it but if you have a player that can audio shift then it is between 200 and 300 ms out. No real need to wait unless you are on tablet or something.

Jeff hosting a non-stop, 24/7 mixlr feed is what we need.

Be patient guys, Vinny and Drew are doing interviews so they have more people to do fixes like that.

No offense to Jeff, but this happened a lot in the last months (and I imagine that has to do with PR and marketing deparments feeling they need to drop big announcements do it in tuesday), so is probably is better that they start recording in tuesday.

Isn't Jeff out for the week for e3 press stuff or was that last week? They probably recorded early to give Vinny to prep the vinnycast
I think they almost always record on Monday, regardless of who is hosting.

In this case he is, but they have recorded in mondays at the past months regardless

I don't even know why the bombcast bothers with news when the site has a biweekly news focused podcast. SF should just focus on their core strengths - vinny, emails, and sleepy brads

I dont know if I want Drew talk Eurovision here, or to do it on the Bombcast with Vinny editing.
I don't see why they should move the podcast because the occasional news bit drops on a Tuesday. So what if they don't talk at length about it immediately? We can read a good chunk their thoughts on Twitter, and Patrick & Alex did a broadcast.
Hm? Because one rating board was more transparent in its response than the other? Technically, they reach the same conclusion, but the way it is communicated matters a lot - so yeah, the difference in nuance is interesting.

Because the Natsume report:
http://venturebeat.com/2010/06/21/harvest-moon-and-same-sex-relationships/
BUT, what Tricky failed to mention is that the article didn't asked or confirmed with ESRB directly if they did that because the "same sex issue elevates the rating" and the actual statement was from a PR:
that sounds more like giving a excuse than a statement or confirmation.
I can only speak for myself, but I am far more interested in hearing Jeff's, Brad's and Vinny's thoughts on the news than I am in Patrick's and Alex's.

Record the podcast over Skype on a Sunday!

Yeah. I think with rare exception, people around here don't actually listen to Bombcast to get actual news, but rather hear their take on it or, more importantly, hear them crack jokes about it.
