My issue with Alex turned out to be an issue that only arose when he was around Jeff. He tried so hard to keep up in a comedic way that he came off as not very genuine. He'd say what he thought was the funniest joke at the time and it didn't land and just floated in the air to stone silence.
He's gotten way better about it, but still sometimes falls into the old pattern when he's back in SF. He's just himself with Vinny, which is far more sincere and entertaining than when he's actually trying to be entertaining.
Yeah, something I definitely noticed in this podcast. I haven't been the biggest fan of Alex in the regular Bombcasts, but this was way better than usual.
Yeah, I've been listening to this podcast in my car and there are times when I honestly can't hear the new guy. Vinny and Alex were OK, but I did have the volume nearly at full, so even though they were loud at times I still think the podcast as a whole could be louder and the levels made more equal for everyone.

Really enjoyed this. New guy seems pretty good and I wouldn't mind if he stuck around.
I've got no issues with Alex. I've known about him since the GS days, so maybe I'm used to him by now, but I generally find him to be pretty knowledgeable and he seems good at holding a conversation. I think Vinny goes well with him since he's typically more positive while Alex more somewhat more negative.
I don't really listen to the bombcast anymore, haven't really since Ryan passed, but I think I might pick this one up. Vinny was always my favorite personality at Giant Bomb.
