Support NeoGAF

[StoveOven]

Finally getting around to listening to the Bombcast with the Idle Thumbs guys, and I have to say, I've been pleasantly surprised to find that it hasn't been awkward at all.

In combination with this sudden burst of "BitE is boring" sentiment, I'm beginning to wonder if I can trust GBGaf's reactions to things...

One of the best recent bombcasts

 

[| Praxis |]

It started kind of rocky but I thought as it went on the flow and everything got better.

I found the first 15-20 minutes real awkward as Brad was asking about future game and idol thumbs seemed to just not know what to say. It just didn't move on very well. Thought it was great after that.

It was mostly just the opening few minutes talking about the Firewatch movie. Wasn't awkward to me, it was just a lot of time dedicated to something that the Idle Thumbs guys didn't have a lot of info on yet.

Ah, can't remember feeling awkward listening to it. Thanks.

[Wunder]

[LurkerPrime]

Giant Bomb's average height only goes up, oh man.

 

[kingofthedead45]

Wait they rehired Patrick?

Kidding kidding, that was a hair joke.

Yay! Everyone's happy right? Right?!

 

[darkwing-buck]

IT WAS ME ALL ALONG SQUARE!!

Yup, I thought it was a great episode, even if in the end it was more an Idle Thumb episode.

 

[jbug617]

GBEast train is rolling.

 

[Tubobutts]

Giant Bomb's average height only goes up, oh man.

Jeff hates average to short people.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

Oh shit, returning character, Big Ben!

 

[BreezyLimbo]

East stays winning

Should we make a thread?

 

[Backfoggen]

Cool

A lady!

Nice. Abby likes RDR, another person to unite against Jeff.

Also people here weren't too hot on Ben being hired. Too bad I guess? I liked him.

I'm happy to see a company hire a former intern if they like him. I thought that was half the point of getting interns in the first place.

 

[Plesiades]

IT WAS ME ALL ALONG SQUARE!!

This is great.

 

[Master_Funk]

Ok cool gb finally hired a lady.

Honestly, my beef wasn't with Ben as much as just the lack of diversity. Now at least there's some diversity.

 

[imBask]

This short-ism is unacceptable tbh

 

[Basileus777]

Giant Bomb's average height only goes up, oh man.

Jeff is assembling his Petaluma Giants regiment.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Nice nice nice!

 

[Teddified]

Now the long wait for Drew's position to be filled.

 

[BiggNife]

Lol I was just thinking the other day " I wonder what ben pack is doing, he's a funny guy"

Good for him

 

[Catvoca]

Abby likes RDR, these new hires suck already

Spoiler

I'm hyped for new content from new people!

 

[robotrock]

Now the long wait for Drew's position to be filled.

Is this not Ben Pack?

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Her favorite game is obviously Mass Effect 2 but she has a weird thing where she pronounces "Mass" as “Kat” and "Effect 2" as “amari Damacy.” Probably a Texas thing.

Ha

 

[wild_fire987]

Well people wanted an unknown... Abby Russell has 650 followers on twitter. I'm excited about new blood on both coasts. How the hell is Beast going to fit another person in that room...

 

[Glass Shark]

I will admit I don't know anything about Abby, but looking at her Twitter feed, I think she'll fit right in.

 

[Master_Funk]

Is this not Ben Pack?

He's for austins position.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Abby's Twitter is pretty funny

 

[oti]

Mass Effect 2 - great
RDR - nah
Dota 2 - NO

Spoiler

Welcome!

Wait a minute.

I GOT DECEIVED.

Spoiler

Katamary Damacy is dope too.

 

[BiggNife]

Is this not Ben Pack?

Pretty sure he's filling for Dan's absence at gb west. They couldn't even start finding replacements for Drew until he left.

 

[Twin Tails]

I will admit I don't know anything about Abby, but looking at her Twitter feed, I think she'll fit right in.

Hopefully the marks the return of frequent Dota discussion on Tuesday casts.

 

[Meneses]

Welcome, new hires.

I don't know anything about either of them so i'm looking forward to see how things go.

 

[oti]

Hopefully the marks the return of frequent Dota discussion on Tuesday casts.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Spirited]

Good stuff, can't wait to see them in the #content

 

[funkystudent]

GBWest continues with the inbreeding, hiring already known white dude friends of the site.

GBeast hires new blood. And a girl.


GBeast continues winning.

 

[Strax]

Over 900 now

 

[Kalor]

Hopefully the marks the return of frequent Dota discussion on Tuesday casts.

Daily Dota can finally come back.

 

[GustyGardens]

Cool. Welcome to the new folks.

 

[Indignate]

What are these two's opinion about Nier?

I need this information to determine if GOTY will be correct or not.

 

[LurkerPrime]

So DotA 2 will be this year's game of the year, then.

We all know how this works.

 

[Twin Tails]

GBeast continues winning.

but upf though

I will admit I don't know anything about Abby, but looking at her Twitter feed, I think she'll fit right in.

Anyone who can appreciate the genius that is MacGruber is good in my book.
