Let's just make this new page a "WE LOVE VINNY" page.

Like at a CBS office in New York or from home or something?

That would be a bummer I reckon. The biggest draw card for be an employee at GB would be working with the crew I would've thought.
 
In honor of P4 Arena coming out tomorrow I've queued up a bunch of Endurance Run episodes to watch before sleep.

Will anything on the Internet ever be this entertaining again?

Pretty sure he's just working from home. He moved because he and his girlfriend wanted, I believe.
 
Im watching the giantbomb talk raido show that I missed on friday, and I have to ask. What does Daves sister do? Is she just a vistor or does she have an actual job with the websites?
 
They need to hire Dave's sister as a personality for the site. She did pretty well. Dont even care if she knows games or not, she is pretty quick on the take.
 
Fuckin love Dave's sister. Frickin adorable. She's awesome on Giant Bomb's very first Big Live Live Show Live and Tested's 24 hour podcast if some of you have never seen her before.
 
Wait, there are people in this thread who haven't seen Karen before?

Then that probably means you haven't seen this montage of the first Big Live Live Show Live after party in the street.

"WHO'S TALKING SHIT?"

edit: This video also makes me miss Ana.

I think the draw of any job is to earn some form of income.

Really? Could your statement be any less sychophantical?
 
I remember vinny talking about doing another big live live show, is that still happening? Would love Tested and Matt to come back for a day.

Twelve minutes of breaks and time between episodes isn't that odd. Remember that they shot all of a week's episodes in a row on the same day.

Except that they wiped several times. Which meant nearly entire episodes shouldn't count towards that total.

Even counting wipes and the making of episode 50, let's say three hours of time that doesn't count, that's just slightly over 3 hours in difference between their shown played time and the in-game timer. If we take the 12145 seconds that differ and divide them by 150 episodes (let's disregard five as an arbitrary number of lost episodes), that's just a minute and 21 seconds on average per episode. Assuming more than that before every chunk of a week's episodes and some breaks, not crazy at all.

I should not have cared this much.

Wow.

Also, that makes sense.
 
Karen is right on the good side of the line where amazing happiness becomes annoying. Like... I recognise that I could really easily be bugged by her incredibly happy attitude, but it somehow proves to be really amusing instead. She's like Mabel from Gravity Falls.

Ryan is on twitter talking about almost losing the podcast again. What in the world is going on over there, get those guys a new Macbook or something. The bombcast is sacred and must be preserved at all costs!

On a plus note it seems "Brad Shoemaker" is on :)

No it's just a difference of opinion. I thoroughly enjoyed ILM, in fact it was the only video feature I ever regularly watched.

Do you count Quick Looks as video features too? If you watched an entire week of content and then looked back on it and found Ryan talking about the content before it happened the high point, you might want to consider not actually visiting Giant Bomb anymore.
 
I know probably none of them besides Klepek even have that impulse, but I really wonder what a This American Life or Planet Money-style radio segment would sound like from GiantBomb.

This is, what?, the third week in a row that they've had to do some miracle work to save it?
 
Bringing it back. It's not disrespectful at all to cite that you think the Bombcast is better without him. It's not because his dad died, it's because he hasn't been around. Usually someone like Patrick would be gone for a week or like two weeks for his marriage and be back. You'd quickly remember him. Him not being there for so long has given people time to notice that Podcast being different because they're getting multiple samples of a Patrick-less Bombcast again. I don't agree with them, but it's not even close to offensive.

I genuinely like Patrick and miss him on the bombcast. I mean, look at the beginning of the podcast for the past few weeks. Everyone is pretty much playing one thing or nothing, and that's it. Where as, before he left, Patrick was talking about Amnesia, Eternal Darkness, he seemed like a guy who was playing games because he loved them not because he HAD to. He's also got a lot of neat trivia and probably knows the most about video games outside of Jeff. He's not as funny as a Vinny or Jeff, but he's got incredibly entertaining stories and a different perspective(Like the whole 'I Am Alive' story about the kid). He, like Alex, also doesn't seem near as defensive as Brad or Jeff come off despite the fact that both of them probably get 10x more shit flung at them. And Patrick tries stuff that's different rather than 'here's the big releases for the week', which is something that only Vinny and sometimes Brad do. And people think he replaces Dave or Drew spots, but he really doesn't. Dave's still busy, and even then, the guy tends to play a smaller variety of games, and Drew. Drew seems the most like gaming's just something he does in his spare time rather than his main hobby. I doubt he'd have much to talk about or want to talk about outside of maybe Halo 4.

So, there. Patrick, if you're reading this, you're awesome. You've got flaws like everyone else in the world, and I've probably even said bad stuff about you in the past because people fear change, but you keep doing what you're doing and keep podcasting it up.
