I love Giant Bombcast. It's pretty much the spiritual successor to the old, glorious HotSpot. Somehow, the Bombcast manages to be even funnier! Strange thing is, I practically grew up listening to The HotSpot. I would also say 1UP Yours is great to listen to, but they're gone now, so Bombcast is all I have left.
Any other great gaming podcasts?
I mentioned this in another post, but Game Scoop! and Three Red Lights from the guys at IGN are the two most consistently entertaining and funny podcasts I listen to regularly.
Game scoop is the more general news coverage of the gaming industry overall. It has a good balance between informative news and comedic antics along with an always upbeat dynamic between the editors.
While Three Red Lights which is supposed to be the Xbox 360 podcast is in reality more of an all out crazy non-sequitur show where the guys talk about anything from Lost to G.I. Joe action figures. Recently they jumped 50 episodes ahead in their numbering scheme just to make themselves look good. But they still talk about the non-existent fictional episodes filling in with outrageous claims. It's good stuff...
I tried listening to other gaming podcasts, but they just pale in comparison with these two in terms of entertainment value and news coverage.

That's the exact reason why I stopped listening to Geekbox.
Is there a lot of that in those podcasts? I mean don't get me wrong off topic discussions are ok with me but when they dedicate half a show to the new episode of some stupid series I stopped watching a year and a half ago, no thanks.

Game Scoop! is mostly on topic and discusses actual news. The tangents they go on are still usually relevant and funny. But you get to know the editors' personalities better to get an idea of how you should take their written reviews.
Three Red Lights however, is much goofier and off topic but it's just so funny most of the time. Half the time they just rip on the crappiness of the 360. They used to have a moment of silence for all the 360s that have died over the past week. It's not so much what they talk about, moreso the way they run their show mostly unstructured that makes it so entertaining. But occasionally they talk about XBLA, XNA, and other downloadable games and such.
I used to listen to ChatterBox Video Game Radio quite regularly, although I'm terribly behind now. They had an excellent interview with Jack Thompson a few years ago.

Zune? Bwahahahaahaha!!! HA!
Excuse me.
I quite like Australian gamer podcast.
Sometimes it has Yathzee in it. But this doesn't make it extra funny. Yug an Matt do a great job entertaining you by themselves.
My podcast! Game Central Podcast.
We talk about PC gaming. In particular, PC gaming theory, news, and the like. The website is ugly right now, but we're releasing a new version very soon. Here's the link, I hope y'all can listen to a few. :)

What a coincidence. I was wondering about you guys earlier today and downloaded your latest podcast. I listened to you back in the day when you were PC only. Great podcast guys, worth listening to for sure.
I also listen to a lot of other ones. The Geekbox, Rebel FM, The Brainy Gamer, Gamers with Jobs, The Experience Points Podcast and GameCritics.com Podcast.
Also you must listen to A Life Well Wasted. Amazing
I'm too lazy to dig up links but you can all find them on iTunes.

Thanks a lot! We're revamping the podcast a bit to increase sound quality, and diversify topics more. Hopefully we get more listeners once the new site comes out.
PC Gamer Podcast. I'm sure Vagabond can attest to its awesomeness.
