It would be so awesome (well maybe for some of us) if you filmed the bombcasts or maybe even do a live one with video you don't have to change the format just set a camera and film baby!

" Nah. Too much bandwidth for my computer to handle. And besides, hearing the staff's voices are good enough for me. "Exactly. Maybe once the Giant Bomb app comes out or if they offered the videos for download. But otherwise no way.
what about bandwidth don't watch if you don't want but i would still love to be able to get some bomcast video going
Then you won't be able to listen to it on the go, and 2hrs of video stream just for watching it once is gonna rape my bandwidth...
They should simply have a webpage up of visual aides for what they're talking about. Say they're playing a new game (of which there is no NDA in this case), they could upload screenshots. Say they're testing a new energy drink or some horrid candy, have photographs of the packaging. Say they're making a bunch of random references to Moonlighting starring Cybill Shepard and Bruce Willis, upload a bunch of pictures of that rhyming secretary chick, and Bruce Willis wearing black plastic sunglasses and holding a coatrack as though it's a limbo stick.

" @Qorious said:You can download the videos with this tool if you're using Firefox. It'll automatically convert it from FLV to something more watchable like AVI or WMV if you set it up to do so, too." Nah. Too much bandwidth for my computer to handle.

Audio is fine for podcasts, and is downloaded way faster, just imagine a video size of a 2 hour show. And it would suck so have it stream and cut out, just to fucking stream it again.
" Id love if they did it as an option in addition to the podcast. "This. I can never be able to listen fully to the Podcasts-however, if I just had something to watch...
I'd like to see it one time and then pass verdict. But no podcast with them playing a multiplayer game like Kotaku did with its podcasts. God that shit was horrible...
I personally wouldn't mind having videos as an option. I need something to watch while I listen to the Bombcasts. For me I can't just sit down and listen to them talk for 2 hours. I usually have to play skate. while I listen to it.
And I don't go anywhere mostly so cut out listening to it during travel.
Finally they are doing it and its gonna be awesome! All of you thought it was dumb and now you think its awesome......... oh how times have changed. #Ironic
@dudeglove: Which is the ideal scenario. Giant Bomb has always taken steps to ensure not dropping in quality. This will only give the audience more options without makingthe audio version any worse.
