Gaming Podcasts

[NecroMorrius]

Yeah I really, really like those four guys. I often wonder if they hold their tongue around Jeff because he's the boss.

[ThePixelbarks]

He's still on his honeymoon being skin-crawlingly try-hard over twitter.

Why do you know this? Why is it only you patrick haters know this sort of stuff? Why are you looking at his twitter feed?

[SweatyTravolta]

The Bombcast has been so great recently with the absence of Klepick. It's going to be a real shame when he comes back. Still, I wouldn't actively go pursuing him on twitter just to bitch about him. Unless it's all retweets that people are seeing.

It was pretty classy of that one guy to tell Patrick that his father dying was the best thing to happen to Giant Bomb in ages. As great as the site is their community is almost GameFAQs level of tragedy.

[Harmunt]

Worth repeating again. Joypod is a fucking delight. You can put that on the back of the box. I'll even buy you a box if you don't have one.

I subscribe to a total of 9 podcasts and Joypod is by far the one I look forward to the most. 2 hours of quality conversation. Superb.

The forums aren't too bad, but the comments on (generally, the non-premium) videos are pretty... yeah. Full of fuds.

[Sonic.Mirrorz]

Yeah joypod is pretty neat.

[elmo]

Thanks chaps. New show out tomorrow. Sadly, no Sean but we finally have a pitches jingle

[SeanR]

I got 99 ideas, but a pitch ain't one of them.

[elmo]

Oh SeanR... You're so white.

[wretcherd]

He was having a bit of Sean Time.

[NecroMorrius]

The new giantbomb starts fairly well, and then tumbles off a cliff into a long discussion about old BBS boards

Patrick and Jeff aren't being annoying yet, so it's a pretty good episode so far.

[Kiwi Cake]

"You keep doing your thing, David!"

I love me some Joypod.

[Mentazm]

I often wonder how these loud-mouthed think they are qualified to chat about the worlds most beautiful hobby. When I rule the multiverse, you won't be allowed to have a podcast until you have at least 100k gamerscore, and the games that make that up must be varied across all genres. No playing 100 CoD games, or only hipster games-as-art stuff.

[SeanR]

omg! it's a cain and rinse episode* I want to listen to BEFORE joypod!

* max payne 1&2

Anyone can chat about anything, that's the beauty of podcasts!

Been enjoying Idle Thumbs since its return. I can't remember what put me off the show before to be honest, but i've really enjoyed the last few.

No Chet and Jon this week

[Yasawas]

I will forever miss Steve and Nick* but I've really come round to Famous over the course of his time on it. I thought the progresscasts were a bit empty but the last few and especially the Quakecon one have been really good. I hope we get some good Dark Souls chat soon with the PC release due this week, I always wanted to hear theie take on that but it came out when they were on hiatus.

* Fuck Nick.

[imp]

As much as I love Famous, the last episode was all Famous, some Video Games, and nowhere near enough Boost.

[deerokus]

Annoying logical fallacies and straw-man arguments over people not liking Dust's art aside*, this week's Bombcast is pretty good. Particularly the transformers discussion.

As for Idle Thumbs... I feel they've not quite hit their stride yet since coming back properly. Mostly that's down to a lack of interesting games to discuss, I feel. They're at their best when deconstructing an unusual or complex game.

*Not liking it = hating furries = homophobia or something. And means you're not allowed to like anything else that has cartoon animals. See the Dust thread for my thoughts on that game :S

Not sure that qualifies you as a podcaster, a sad bastard definitely.

[RubberJohnny]

I've loved the Idle Thumbs chat about things they wouldn't normally chat about. I was cracking up at all the Max Payne 3 and Driver: SanFran discussion.

"You're an asshole terrorist ghost cop"

[Chindie]

I've not been able to bring myself to listen to this weeks Bombcast yet all the way through. I started, heard the er... dulcet... tones of Klepek, sighed, turned off.

I've given Joypod a go on my commute the last couple of days. And I like it. I listened to a couple of recent episodes, the brief chat from an episode about a month old about 'Jacobs Ladder in the car' had me smirking on the station platform like a crazy person.

[Mentazm]

Not sure that qualifies you as a podcaster, a sad bastard definitely.

Well yes, but the two should go hand in hand.

[Mars]

Loved the opening to this week's Joypod

[elmo]

Fucking Iain Lee!

[Naysonymous]

Started listening to Joypod three weeks ago after listening to one episode way back when (the John Davsion episode) and dismissing it as shit. I was really wrong, wasnt I? It's been excellent!

[Mars]

Fucking Iain Lee!

[elmo]

Thanks Nayson. I think if we had the chance to do the radio show again it would be totally different.

[cavalcade]

Listened to Joypod today, kept me company on a big cycle ride - great as always.

The guy from Midnight Resistance needs to sort out the going up at the end of sentences thing though, he's like a nervous Australian.
