I think I've said it before, but my biggest piece of dream content would be a series of Breaking Brads where Brad tries to get all the Meat Boy achievements.

I was a little disappointed in the Geometry Wars BB, he gave up so fast. COD4 was great though, it had its moments.
MOAR BREAKING BRAD!
 
Persona is pretty boring because of the grinding and repetitive nature of the dungeon crawling, Deadly Premonition had problems because the actual shooting gameplay was shit and cutscenes were only bearable in a MST3K "haha that's so bad" kind of way. Chrono Trigger was the best ER game on paper but didn't have enough humorous moments. Given the game choices so far, it's a great testament to the likable nature of the GB staff that past Endurance Runs were fun to watch at all, to be honest.


So the only logical conclusion is a Brad/Vinny Shenmue Endurance Run.

Jeff seems really positive about it. It's great to see.

I'm sure it feels good to triumphantly return to a place you were unfairly forced out of after putting in many hard years worth of blood, sweat and tears into it. I just wish for it to stay good and for the old, bad traits of Gamespot not to creep back in.
 
It's easy to skip the grinding episodes of Persona 4. Hell, I skipped most of the dungeon stuff except for the boss fights and story bits. The best part about those games is funnily the part where you're not playing it, seeing the story unfold and Vinny and Jeff's reactions to it was comedy gold.

The dungeon crawling episodes certainly had their moments (I'm sure almost everyone remembers the Ghoul voice).
 
I'd love an Asura's Wrath ER. Anything less than 10 hours would be ideal, as I can't really watch anything for 20+.
 
Honestly they didn't even have to grind nearly as much as they did in Persona 4*. They were just killing days and getting those special items (that aren't that great apart from the first few you get).

*or like, at all. you don't need to grind in like 95% of modern JRPGs. don't do it!!!
 
Will they still sell t shirts and stuff in the future?

I know they will keep accepting orders of there current stuff but once they sell out of what they have will they close the store altogether?

I want a Lucadeer shirt damn it!

Xenoblade's not really funny. Not like Persona or Deadly Premonition

I love it to pieces, but there's no wacky shit like Persona and DP.

What I want to see is a Persona 4 The Animation endurance run. COME ON. And by that I mean a Rifttrax.
 
Interesting quote from Jar Time that "Maybe the podcast's a bit long"...

*Noooooooooooooo.jpg*

Seriously though, I'm hoping that's more of a "oh shit, we don't know where anything is" reaction more than anything else. (He did say that he wasn't sure where the podcast room even was, so fingers crossed!)
 
Jeff probably still hasn't played Metal Gear Solid 3.


a MGS3 Endurance Run would be fun. The game is full of silly characters and easter eggs + it has a decent story.


If not I think they should at least line up a 40 + hour ER for the summer just to keep the site updated with stuff. Having the Crono Trigger ER during the middle of release season was kind of silly.


With some fans expressing some worries over the buy out I think they should make some Giantbomb ass Giantbomb content ASAP just to reassure those fans that things will stay the same. Maybe a short 20 hour ER would do that.
 
Whatever happened to the Lantern Run anyway?

That was one of my favorite features and now it's NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.
 
I loved the P4 ER, the Deadly Premonition was good but it didn't grab me the same way. I lost interest in the Chrono Trigger early on. At this point, I have a dream ER team for a dream ER game. Unfortunely, it's only a dream.

I have been asking this for months! I was hoping they would do it at least once a month, but then December came, then January, and so on. It was easily my favorite piece of subscriber content outside of load our last save.
 
Sometimes the podcast is too long. A three hour podcast every week is excessive if it's not a busy week with lots to talk about.

I mean, I love the long podcasts when it's justified, but yeah, a few times the Bombcast loses me. It's rare, but it happens. Quality over quantity! The worst thing would be a good 2 hour podcast that could potentially be a good 3 hour podcast getting cut short.

Weirdly, I find the podcast flows a lot better with Jeff as host. He lets things go on to their natural conclusion, whereas Ryan tries to chop off conversation or move it in a different direction more often.
 
I wouldn't mind a shorter Bombcast if they'd do a separate OT podcast, since pretty much all of their best stuff has come from OT discussions.
 
An off-topic Bombcast would be the best Bombcast after the first episode.

It's weird that their discussions about games are the least interesting things usually. Let me hear about Vinny's survival guide.
 
You don't have to listen to a podcast all at once, and you're free to skip around if there's a part you don't like. Virtually none of the hour of Mass Effect talk last week was of any interest to me, but I'm not crazy enough to suggest that they should cut that. Keep the Bombcast as it is!
 
For the podcasting think 2:30 is perfect, no rush, flows naturally.

I'm hoping the guys can get back to their great TNTs with the effort behind them.

It started with Dead Island and the coop runs, so entertaining. Would really like to see that format return.
