Video Bombcast?

I think if the Giant bomb crew made a Video Bombcast along with the current Bombcast it would probably guarantee the takeover of the internet. We could actually see the beverages that are tasted, which for so long my imagination had to draw a picture for. So what are some other ideas that could be in an episode of the GiantVideoBombcast or is this a bad idea?

I think its an awesome idea.  They did a short video preview of the bombcast once and its was cool to see them during the podcast.

they could just continue what they are doing with "how to build a bomb" and just talk alot of random stuff plus now it could have news on site updates and stuff.

All it needs is a name change since the bomb is built and is lovely 

But the main question for them would be what could they do on video that couldnt be dont just on the bombcast?

Still Bombing Series

That'd be cool...whatever. Im happy with the bombcast. These guys have there own lives, im sure they don't care to film everything they do

also they NEED Luchadeer on camera

I just dont think having a deers head "appear" on a audio podcast would have the same effect

yea i mean watching someone for an hour would be pretty pointless, and think of the extra upload and editing time

 Watching 4 guys sit around a table and talk about games for three hours isn't exactly thrilling television.

The camera does not do Luchadeer much Justice. You need to see Luchadeer LIVE and in person to absorb his "badass" rays!

I wouldn't want to watch them talk for over an hour. Especially since I like doing other things while listening to the Bombcast.

Nah. I don't want to watch guys sit around and talk about games. I'd much rather listen to them.

I would like the How To Build a Bomb series to continue until the Bomb is built. After that I would like some sporadic behind the scenes video content.

I like it the way it is. Maybe supply a link to the drink or post a picture of it or something, though?

As bitchin' as Ryan's moustache is, I don't want to stare at it for almost two hours. Though I would like to see roundtable reviews of games that at least two of the guys played, or maybe even reviews where one staff member who hasn't played the game is asking the reviewer questions about it. I think it would fit the tone of the website better than the single-man, talking-at-the-camera reviews.

Dude the show they did over at gamespot was great.

Yeah I think this is a great Idea I hope they do this soon.  I was going to send a request by email sometime soon.

no I think they should just do an on the spot type live show?

I used to think I would like a video bombcast, but lately I've been thinking it wouldn't be the same if we could see them when they're talking.

I agree with Kratos (not something I'd ever thought I'd have to type).
GB needs some sort of weekly show, where they sit and play games. As somebody in another thread said, call it Bomb The Spot.

Video reviews every so often are a given, but I would like to see some kind of weekly video feature.  Just get the whole crew shitfaced and lock them in a room with the big release, or crappiest release, of the week, then let the cameras roll.  Don't even think about editing it, I want to see their sanity slowly break down from sitting through the same cutscene for the tenth time because Brad keeps missing a jump.  It could almost be like Gamecenter CX or Broken Pixels if the game was hard/broken enough. 

Ok, I'll admit.  I just want to see Jeff get wasted and yell at everybody once a week.  Whatever context I can get that in is acceptable.

Have guys seen THIS post ?

And this blog POST

Honestly just a new type of On the Spot will do, How about On the Bomb ? Bomb the spot is cool too but it has spot in it and that has nothing to do with giant bomb since it aint gamespot.

yeah im all for video i dont know why but even if its just the guys sitting around BSing about the games it would be interesting. something like Diggnation but all games and energy drinks.

yeah Energy drinks in video would be better you could see the can and maybe the color, but mostly energy drinks have a yellowish color

Yes, it would be pretty neat to sit and watch something strictly meant for an audio format.  It's a podcast, and for the most part, it should probably stay that way.

My one request would be to tripod the camera, and record the first 15 minutes of each Bombcast.  Or however long it takes to get past the drinks.  The one time they did it, it was totally priceless watching their expressions whilst the drinks were consumed. 

Video drink testing for the win!

I would watch a video bombcast if they ever made one.

They don't need it to be a video cast. I have listened to two podcasts and they are really good. Not perfect but they are good for a beginning site.

"They don't need it to be a video cast. I have listened to two podcasts and they are really good. Not perfect but they are good for a beginning site."

Yeah I don't need a video cast right now, but maybe in the future it would be nice

A video of them podcasting? Eh, no thanks. Maybe some special features as we've been seeing with Building a Bomb and their E3 coverage? Dude, totally. That's how you really connect to the people.

Eh, they dont really need to film a podcast. >_>

Something On The Spot-esque for the future would be awesome.

" Agreed ! !

i think it would be cool, but i doubt they would think it worth all of the extra bandwidth and time to make just to see them talk. 

I like to do other things while I listen to the Bombcast, so no, video FTL.

i am happy with the podcast as is...no big deal if you can see them or not..the burnout paradise crew do the video podcast thing..can be glitchy at times..have seen a few others..no need to watch some people talking..just good enough to listen too..and if they show anything interesting they just do how to buld a bomb at any rate anyway

It would be cool, but would you really wanna take away their luxury of doing podcasts in their underpants? A video means stress, make up, brand clothing (good way to bring in the dough though). I think the podcasts are as good as they are now because the guys can relax, drink and scratch whatever they want.

"Weekly Detonation" maybe? If they were going to make a weekly show... I dunno.

I don't know about that, but maybe putting out segments of drink tasting videos from the podcasts would be cool.

I would be happy with the "How to  build a bomb" vids.

it would be 4 dudes siting around talking into microphones 

I dont think they need to do a long form video podcast.  The long, rambling discussions are better suited for audio. 

I guess that a five to ten minute companion video podcast would be great for segments that just absolutely demand a visual component.

I'd only support a video podcast if it was a separate show.
Really all I want is the video section to be turned into an RSS feed with mp4 files.

I'd be happy if they  just put their current videos into mp34 format or something non flash so it can be downloaded and watched at leisure. Definitely round table reviews would be good.
