I just can't get into them.

Ha ha ha.

I'm trying to listen to the ZombiU episode of Connectivity.

That's too bad cause as far podcasts go, RFN is really good with audio quality, which sounds nitpicky but there are a LOT of other even popular podcasts where quality is simply not on par. Or the voices are kinda annoying.
The sound is all there is to podcast, make it good.
Also as fellow ATLA fan perhaps you might be interested in "Big pull" podcast:

Some familiar names in there, and audio is very good.

It's just Mike as a guest here and there though, no Bryan from what i heard.
Giancarlo is a regular, too.

I'm the opposite. I often worry that I listen to too many podcasts. When I'm out running, walking to work, cleaning the house, playing games that don't require my full attention, when I want something to send me off to blissful sleep.

Recently I've been burning through the /Filmcast (which is pretty great), catching up on No More Whoppers (which can be hilarious), and I've also been checking out some of the earlier episodes of Radiolab that I missed.

There's such a disparate selection of great podcasts out there. I'm sure there are more than a few that you would find interesting.

Do you enjoy talk radio or books on tape?

I listen to all the podcasts unless I'm on them.

Oh ha har.

And don't get me wrong, I like podcasts, just not the ones NWR made. I did like that Connectivity episode, but it might be because I haven't listened to the ones before it.

RFN is my favorite video game podcast in this post-1Up Yours world we live in.

I'd argue it's better than 1UpYours, but either way RFN is up there amongst the best.

I know the Bombcast isn't to everyone's tastes, but I hope you guys check out their Game of the Year podcasts when they're released next week. Those things are always fantastic. Long, but fantastic.

azeke · « **Reply #14 on:** December 20, 2012, 06:06:30 AM »

I enjoyed bombcast animated excerpts, but based on these i can't see them as a good gaming podcast.

That's fair. As I say, it's not for everyone. Those animated excerpts are hilarious though. You might like this

I used to listen to the Giant Bombcast, but stopped because it's unfocused, gets off-topic way too often (and too long), and seems like they couldn't care less. The last episode I listened too had them spend 20 MINUTES eating food a listener had sent them and burping while talking about the food. I already have too many podcasts to listen to, the last thing I need is a useless one like that when there are many better gaming podcasts. I love RFN. My favorite part of any NWR podcasts are the "Jeopardy" and "Who Wants to be a Nintendoaire?" segments of Connectivity (especially when I hear one of the contestants say a question is "hard" and it would be like a $200 easy question to me). I would kick butt on Nintendoaire.

Jeff Gerstmann is the most cynical, unenthusiastic "game journalist" in the industry today. Klepick is awesome though.

"Jeff! You just won 10 million dollars and your belly button lint is a cure for cancer!"
(long pause)
"Hey. great. whatever. These video games kinda suck."

TrueNerd · « **Reply #18 on:** December 20, 2012, 02:21:04 PM »

Yeah, I can't listen to the Bombcast that often. Which is too bad cuz I really like most of those guys and have since they were all at GameSpot but they're just too damn long and meandering. Some people love that **** though.

My favorite part was when broodwars parroted my insightful gameplay analysis of PSAS. But then he got a bunch of stuff wrong anyway!

The worst thing is that the game doesn't have bar-chatting fanservice? It's a bad thing that all the characters are unlocked at the start? what

This isn't all that relevant to the topic but I just thought I'd say again how awesome the live show was this year. RFN, Giantbomb (in the shape of Brad), Wii-k in Review (in the shape of Craig), and 8-4 Play together?! It still blows my mind that you guys were able to pull it off.

It was, of course, missing the sultry tones of Greg Leahy to complete the set.

Tangent. James, Jonny, Greg (and later Gui!) and The Lindemann all have such differing voices it makes them easy and interesting to listen to. Imagine Jonny going off on a high-pitched single-breath hyper-rant like James does?

I've thought that too. They compliment each other really well.

Tangent. The funniest part of last weeks episode was when Johnny asked if people should vote with their dollars and buy Mass Effect 3, and Gui broke in with 'F***********k that'. lol.

I was on it in the sense that my omnipotent spirit was being channeled. I have nothing to do with the nonstop gushing over the furry character, though.
