I'm blocking Iron Jackal from commenting because he posts a thousand comments when its no needed. We get your point dude, be quiet.

I used to think of some games as art, but when you think about it, Jeff's right. They have art in them, but are not art in entire.

It;s funny, because now that the crew are in Giant Bomb, the reviews are much more personal to their own experience with the game. The reviews feel that much more interesting and are better for it, if you ask me.

@dreffen Gamespot's The Hotspot. But considering Jeff Gerstmann was fired near the end of 2007 for his Kane and Lynch review being... well... honest, I'm guessing this is well before that. Also considering both Carrie Gouskos and Alex Navarro are both on this recording, so yeah.. this was early 2007 at the latest.
Jeff is still on the Giant Bombcast though

@barqueWorks I agree with this sentiment, thanks for broadening my horizons mate :P
@GoldenWoozie since you've downloaded them all could you upload them for other duders who want to hear them? I'm currently listening to the oldest bombcasts, but even earlier than that would be awesome, also if you haven't it guessed yet, I'm lazy :D
Don't want to do that? no problem, I'm just asking.

@B3taBug Like I said already. Every Hotspot episode is on Gamespot, you don't need me to upload them because you can get them else where.

What show is this segment from?

@dreffen As Shaanyboi said, it's from The HotSpot. The recorded date was around early 2006 though, long before Jeff got fired.
Jeff went on to start GiantBomb with his co-workers and friends starting with Ryan Davis and later Vinny Caravella and Brad Shoemaker.

@GoldenWoozie Thanks mang. Guess I never listened to as much HotSpot as I thought I did
Are those archived at all somewhere? Remember there was a dude who was postint 'Best Of' HotSpot years on the GB forums

@dreffen Yes there is an archive. If you go to GameSpot and search "Hotspot" in the search bar you'll find the Hotspot's main page. On the right hand side there's a mini scroll box with every single episode. You have to scroll down pretty far to get to 2006, and you have to download each episode individual (no zips or anything) but they're there if you want em. I also personally downloaded all the episode in case of nuclear catastrophe and what not.
