I need to find a new gaming podcast. I think these guys are either compromised or oblivious to what gamers really want.

Jan is blowing my mind. The Quiet Man and Alan Wake 2. It all makes sense now.
it's been downhill for awhile, but letting Nathan Grayson on the show? yeah been a Prime member in the past, been subscribed to the podcast since the Ryan days and yet I'm not sad to subscribe today. it's been dead for over a year I just didn't want to admit it. Grayson is a shit bag.
he hasn't done shit in a few months at giantbomb.
I have a have a have a llo
this one from Feb??
uhhhh
The people who are afraid gta 6 is going woke are scared because when companies go woke, everything else goes out the window. creativity, comedy, storytelling, etc. it'll be saints row for me.
all mad respect to Jeff, but at least I will never hear anymore Sonic games been drag to the ground 🤣. Thanks Jeff for your years of service to this community you help co-create.
Devastator also on Playstation
Baklar has no soul
love that Jan is hosting episodes lately!
Gertsman always hate KH SHUT THE FUCK UP JEFF!
my favorite podcast
I could totally see why someone would look at the line up on a Bombcast, see Rory and just bail without hesitation. Because he seems to be the only one with the most baffling opinions on this podcast and he isn't even around the majority of the time. His Dead Space segment was headache inducing
We swished gross green fluoride in NC.

These comments are a salt mine. Don't read them. #ToxicRelationships
Abby bring back on this episode makes it so cringe. Also, Ben continues lying about previous experiences to the point where I think Jeff is finally starting to catch on.
