Legendary moment in podcast history.

Looking forward to a ton of prE3 content this week.
You're funny.

You mean there won't be any content this week?
pretty much. maybe we get a "road trip" video from jeff and alex (jeff hinted at something like that) but i dont expect anything this week.

Once they dont have other guests I want to actually hear talking on at the same time as her I would be ok with it.
Bring on the train wreck.
Would make a good final night guest. By then all the important stuff would be covered and everyone is gonna be super tired and it wont be a very good show anyway.
There will be content. I just doubt it'll be a "ton." I wouldn't be shocked if we don't end up with something similar to the weeks before/after the acquisition by CBSi, i.e. maybe 2-3 videos. Most of their equipment gone + no notable new releases this week = content-lite.
It's a shame Jeff knows too much, because this would have been a perfect week for a Jar Time.
I wonder what kind of E3 video intro we get this year. Last year's submarine opening was badass.
The E3 day wrapup videos they do are goddamn amazing, Vinny/Drew really killed it with the editing. Really looking forward to this year.

I still have nightmares from the first night of E3 2011 when the Microsoft dudes were there.
Johnathan Blow ruined that podcast, not E and Stepto (aka the Microsoft dudes).
I enjoyed how contentious it got.
agreed. the stuff they had to say about xbl and some other stuff was pretty cool.

At least Jonathan Blow was there to keep the Microsoft guys on there toes. Without him it would have been just a hour of people talking about how great XBL is.
The MS guys would have been good for a short 10-15 minute interview but it was a bit much for a podcast.
But I do I remember feeling a bit sad after the Jenova Chen's dating site talk.

I still can't believe they thought that was a reasonable idea. Hey, let's bring on two Xbox higher ups hours after the MS conference. Because that would foster open and interesting discussions.
Not even close. Blow simply put those two corporate shills in their place.

i know i'm largely in the minority but i could listen to johnathon blow say crazy shit for hours.
He was the only thing that made it listenable. It was beyond shameless how those two guys were talking about how awesome the Kinect was(You can use voice commands in Mass Effect 3! THE FUTURE), and falling over themselves to dismiss every single problem the xbox or xbox live has.
Can you really be a shill when you openly acknowledge that you work for a corporation?

Yes. A shill is just someone who loves to promote their (or their company's) shit. No one should be surprised that E and Stepto were shilling MS and Xbox, though.

Wrong wrong wrong. The MS people were nearly as annoying as Leigh, that says a lot.

I would do anything to see a log of the chat when that was going on. Everyone was screaming and going insane. I thought they were going to shut the chat off, haha.
When you're going on a podcast to be nothing more than a annoying PR mouth piece, sure you can.

Nope. Leigh Alexander is an instant turn off. I totally can't stand her.

They need to get some new cool developer dudes for their E3 podcasts. Someone from Valve would be cool.

There's a world of difference between advocating your company and shutting down any line of discussion that isn't about how amazing your company is. That segment was fucking death from the moment those guys started to speak.
I'd watch in stunned silence at how they could possibly think it was a good idea. Plus we only get E3 stuff once a year.
And I'm a masochist.

Leigh will never come back to the Bombcast. That screenshot where Ryan (I think it was him) accidentally leaked an IM discussion between him and someone else where they were openly talking about how fucked in the head Leigh was would make things pretty awkward, I assume.

oh wow content.
He was talking to Dave, Ryan called her a sociopath. I guess they can spot their own.
The day they do this I'll stop visiting Giantbomb full stop.
Damn, I forgot how awesome & hilarious these videos were. GB puts other sites to shame with their lighthearted coverage of the show.

I've had that exact "professional" "aspiring" or "out-of-work" discussion before.

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.'
I'm calling it now, Leigh Alexander and Phil Fish on the same night. It would be epic.

Damn, son
Bah not on youtube, yet, It seems anyway. For some reason I can't select the quality of videos in the new player so they are basically not watchable in full screen. Is this a known bug or what?
dont they have access to the gamespot equipment?
