I just realized that there will never be another Jeff/Vinny Endurance Run
I think the only reasonable option at this point is to have Jeff move to NY.
That would never have happened regardless. Bring on the Vinny/Alex Yakuza 4 ER!

I have 99.99% abandoned hope of any endurance run happening these days. The 0,01% is if the site seriously tanks then I'm sure they'd do an endurance run to try and salvage things. But as long as they have butter on their bread they won't do it.
With that being said I should add that all the Souls games they did were good series
I'm the opposite. Almost every Bombcast they've done with guests have been great imo.
Opinions?

I think Skype has gotten to the point where it's fast and clear enough to work for podcasts (look at My Brother My Brother and Me for example). I think the bombcast being the place where all giant bomb offices convene is a neat idea.
I actually feel bad for Jeff. He's expressed in the past how difficult it is for him to take vacations, and this could make it even harder.
Even Brad will probably start to think twice about taking a vacation.
Think about the weeks in which he's out or now Brad is out. It's going to be brutal.

power bombcast is super enjoyable but I can tell that the dialogue takes a hit because of dan/jared/alex being on skype, and others being in studio
I'm with Jeff on thinking Skype is the devil
So is the alternative better? As in no Vinny on the Bombcast or him only appearing in a small segment? I'd think any scenario that includes Vinny being on the Bombcast full time outweighs the negatives Skype has. Vinny is just too important to the weekly podcast to have him not be a main part of it because the interaction might be lacking.
I know Jeff doesn't like Skype, but he needs to realize that having Vinny on the podcast is too important to not at least try.

There was never going to be another Jeff/Vinny Endurace Run anyway.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
What made them great (for me at least) was that there weren't that many of them. They are fun but I wouldn't want one every month.

Will we no longer have a Vinny edited Bombcast?
Also FYI people who worry about Skype or Google Hangouts should perhaps listen to Player One Podcast. Those guys are all in different parts of NA and do more than just fine Of course it might not work for everyone but I don't think it's some kind of worst of the worst idea either. Also Pat and Alex do it twice a week already.

It only works if everyone is on Skype.

I think they're usually fine if they keep it to one special guest per episode. The dynamic certainly gets thrown off if it's more than one.

No.
No.
No. No. No. No. No.

There will never be another Jeff/Vinny QL either. What happens when Persona 5 comes out and they can't QL that together the way God intended?

This sucks.
Ha, that future QL specifically is impacted hard by this news. It would have been pretty funny.

If they're going that route they should setup mumble or something to get as little latency as possible. My biggest issue with Skype podcasts is sound quality -- Retronauts is super inconsistent with its levels. I'd like to the think the GB guys could figure that out though.
They said on the podcast that they're looking at the options available to them - places CBSi owns where they might be able to get a room or some space.
Actual office.

Giant...pissing in the wind.
The Giant Bomb sports coverage team has also broken up.
The CAGcast almost always sounds great and it's recorded in Tokyo, New York and Ohio.

Giant Bomb #7 | See You Small Businessman
Vinny's post more than doubled the comments Patrick's got.

its unfortunate but the supply drop streams gives me hope that some new blood can help.
might be time for Alexis and Rorie to step up to the plate along with the new hires.

I didn't say when they would get it lol. Vinny will need a good 1-2 years to settle in the new office anyway.

terrible. Vinny was my main draw for almost everything on the site, he and Jeff seemed to operate on a wavelength that nobody else does with the crew. this definitely means a shift in chemistry on the live shows and bombcast.
best of luck to him though, family is always most important.

Rorie manages the store and customer support for the site, Alexis actually works on website development.

With Vinny leaving, Drew might actually have to play a video game every week.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
Man, the vibe here seems like people are down on everybody but Vinny, or at least don't have faith in the others. I know it's not exactly the case but some people are louder than others. What I say is, we can't judge a thing until they announce who they hired and we see how they add to things. I just hope they're hiring in NY too.

I'm pretty sure Drew just plays halo for 24 hrs every year and gets it out of this system that way.
Raising a kid with your entire family on the other side of the country sounds incredibly difficult, so I'm happy for Vinny moving back east to be with his family.
The Bombcast will suffer a bit but we'll have to see who the new hires are. I would love to see more Rorie or Danny on the podcast as well.
It would be great to have Vinny or Patrick on through skype more often, but I've watched other streams and listened to podcasts where the majority of the participants are in one room together with another being on skype, and most of the time they just end up talking over the other person unintentionally due to the delay.

Breaking Giantbomb Detroit coming soon,
This week on The Detroitcast
Jeff, Zodiac Mother Fucker, and some homeless guy hanging out at the Seven Eleven talk about the real way to eat a steak, sub-prime mortgages, and whether or not Reggie could host Survivor.

Ugh, don't say that. I know it to be true seeing how the CBSi move went down but if its not said out loud it won't happen right?
