Air-conditioning supplying them with fresh O2 should keep Brad awake. Good!

Outrageous. I bet the next food talk will be about something they ate with forks and knives.
Sad and kind of awkward that the host of Gamespot's podcast is laid off the at the same time the Giant Bomb guys first need to use the podcast studio there.
Magrino said some weird shit from time to time, but he seemed like a good guy and was definitely passionate about gaming and podcasting. I hope he lands a new gig somewhere else soon.

They're going to walk into work in suits and ties and talk about the cars they bought for their houses.
He was a good host but I liked the guy before him more, more down to earth.

You're joking, but watch what Ryan does from here on out.

Don't think so. At least Jeff said something like "I don't even know where they do podcasts" like it had changed from back then.

I follow the previous host on Twitter and he said the Hotspot is going to be on hiatus for a while.

Ryan "BLOCKED" Davis.
What the fuck. I literally can not imagine him with long pants. At all.I prefer to know him as Ryan "Never Not Wearing Shorts" Davis.

Giant Bomb putting people and podcasts out of jobs.

It's an optical illusion. It's not real. It's not!

They should fly Rich out to host the hotspot.
Get the old music and do phone calls and everything again.
I should really listen to one of those "bet of the hotspot" things someone made. I havent listened to the hotspot since Vinny left to go to GB and I never relisten to anything.

That bat looks right, the pants don't.

I just listened to the new This Year of Hotspot. Jeff is like a different person on the Hotspot, so much more energy, way goofier. It makes Bombcast Jeff sound like a different person. It's kind of weird.
He's older now. That tends to happen.
It could be aging, but we're not talking a long period of time here, just a couple of years. Ryan Vinny and Brad are virtually unchanged now compared to back then. It's so weird to think of Vinny as podcast host now.
It's been 4 1/2 years. Over that time Jeff probably took on a lot more direct responsibilities heading Giant Bomb. That kind of thing will quickly change someone's general demeanor. Even if Jeff is less constantly goofy and loud he seems a lot more confident now.
I think he's still god damn hilarious. Actually I think much more so now. Subtle humor is much more appealing to me personally. As long as it's still ridiculous and it certainly still is.
The second I hit play, I burst out laughing.

The latest Bombcast sounds tinny/lo-fi (low quality in other words). Ryan is aware of it; says he'll be working out the new tech over time. Flashback to the Arrow Pointing Down Podcast days!

A video of more moving in stuff basically.
However, I am going to leave this screenshot with no explaination of context for maximum trolling opportunity

I have more faith than that in Vinny, Brad and Patrick (if any of those dudes end up playing it). Ryan and Jeff? lol yeah.

I doubt it. Brad reviewed FFXIII so he'll probably compare it to that, in which case Xenoblade comes out really favourably.

I don't think enough of their audience wants to see them review a JRPG like that for them to feel obligated to play through a 100+ hour game for review.

You could probably say the same thing about Persona 4 before the ER.
Again, Persona 4 is funny/charming. Xenoblade is just a good game. It's not quirky or funny.
I don't know why you guys think they'll cover Xenoblade past a quick look. Jeff's said time and time again that Rhythm Heaven's the last Wii game worth playing, and no one has said, 'But what about Xenoblade or Last Story?'
That seemed to me like he was giving it to Brad to review. But honestly, who cares? Their reviews are the least interesting original content on Giant Bomb for me.
It struck me more as, 'hey, you're the only person here who really plays jrpgs. so have at it.'
