Finally more Alex content. Always liked that guy, never understood the hate he gets at times. Vinny is the best anyway. Length is good as well. Hope they'll keep this up.
I skipped over the Mad Max talk as I've yet to see the movie but overall it was a fun podcast, felt both refreshing yet familiar which helped too.
Freudian slip?GAF

why do we have to split them up and say this one is best and that one is shit?
Alex was so energetic in this podcast, such a contrast to the Bombing the AM podcasts.
I found the Psychonauts part interesting. The market research was to get information on how people saw the game and they, the general public, I assume, took to the game. They pan the results and laugh at it, but the game wasn't a good seller. It isn't like they sold a ton, made a lot of money, and are now wallowing in money because it sold SO well. To me, the market research might have been right.
But at what cost? It wouldn't have been psychonauts anymore.
It might have still been if they honed things better, we'd never know. I believe you can always find a good balance. However, at what cost was it not to change anything? Jobs?
I wish they had talked about it more. Would've loved to hear Alex' thoughts on the movie (of which he has many from the sounds of it).No real spoilers in the Mad Max talk tbh.
I hope it continues to be around 2 hours long.
Also, finally a good friday podcast. Been missing one since Weekend Confirmed died.

They wanted to make it not about summer camp and a comedy second not first. It's like watching twin peaks and demanding it become an Adam Sandler movie about Santa because that's what sells.
It's not always a case of "there's a perfect middle ground". Sometimes some opinions are plain idiotic if you want a thing to remain the same thing.
Good so far but I really hope they change up the name and differient it more from the Bombcast. Bombin the AM had the right idea with trying to stake out its own ground rather than just being a variant of the main podcast. As much as I love Vinny and Alex, we don't need two Bombcasts.
I have high hopes they'll find their own niche eventually.
Lengthy (maybe too lengthy) reply to Hoo-Doo which is almost completely off topic in spoiler tags below. (Splatoon stuff)
I'm not saying they needed to follow exactly what the research said and I'm not saying they needed to change the genre like you're saying. I am saying, to me, it sounded like guys who were too proud to make any changes and laughed at other's opinions when, in the end, the game was financially not successful and cost a company a lot of money.
There are companies who create something the public doesn't know they want until they have their hands on it. It isn't about giving them the same thing all the time, but giving them something they didn't know they did want. They got insight to the public mind and laughed at it.

Could you point out the hidden depth in Splatoon compared to the plethora of already existing multiplayer-based shooters that people know and love?
I can't find this in my podcast player thingy (Podkicker), is there a link I can subscribe to? The one in the OP didn't work.
Are there other better podcast apps?
Great show, hope this new Jeff guy becomes a regular. He's an improvement on the old Jeff in a lot of ways.
