Jan's a great host, and they're still a lot better than an outlet like Kinda Funny IMO. Not a fan of Jan. now I listen to Sacred Symbols/Defining Duke/Gertsman a little bit, and some Iron Lords. Kinda Funny has become unwatchable, frankly. Super high quality set, super low quality takes. They are basically paid advertising for the games industry. I can’t watch Easy Allies anymore since Ben, Jones, and Kyle left. There aren’t a lot worth listening to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy4000 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I bounce around between Giant Bomb, Easy Allies and Nextlander. And of course, DF Direct. Easy Allies is definitely missing something. I really enjoyed hearing Bosman back as a guest on their latest episode, it injected some life that they were missing. But they're still alright IMO.

Ben was my last connection to EZA. Huber is too scatterbrained, Damiani is… well.. Damiani. Blood and Isla rarely play anything I care about. Brad is ok, but not a very interesting host. Its sad, because their patreon is failing and it’s doubtful they last long. They said they need a 30k patreon to survive, and are currently at something under 26, and dropping pretty fast. At one point they had 10+k patrons, now they have 5100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStar189 Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 I used to never ever miss a Bombcast. Now I only listen about once a month if there is a game I'm interested in. Grubb is probably the only person I can stand there anymore. I feel like he would shine even more on a whole different podcast though.

I will browse the GB forum from time to time and was always impressed with the communication he put in there. I hope someone is lined up to take his place because I think he handled a lot of stuff. I would see him talking about merch designs, payments/shipping/refunds, the latest video players and bugs on the website, etc… People will probably be in the dark about a lot of stuff going forward.

BloodyHell Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 They should just rebrand, because they aren't GB anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyHell Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 14 minutes ago, Paperclyp said: Literally the worst possible thing they could do haha. It really isn't. At some point, it's like Podcast Beyond, it's a pale imitation of what it was, and will always be compared unfavorable to the original with Colin, Greg, Clements, and Roper. Same as Easy Allies at this point, it's all just a reminder that the current iteration is awful in relation to the original. And with EZA, at least it's still OG cast members, but they are still judged daily against their original lineup. As long as it continues to be Giant Bomb, it will suffer the same fate and the audience will shrink as they migrate to the projects of original cast members. Fans have shown they are willing to migrate to new shows with cast members they like, so they should start over and find their own audience. Last weeks Bombcast has under 8k views. They can't do much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbsolutSurgen Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Giant Bomb was Jeff, Ryan, Vinny and Brad. The rest were "extras" for them. I stopped listening years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 While I do think people show up for the people they like, Giant Bomb's format is very Giant Bomb. Changing the name of the site doesn't really fall in line with what the website is. And for some people, it's a podcast only website but there is tons of other content people should be looking at.
