HOLD UP. Wait a minute. Am I crazy, or is the ambient background music on this episode the Wii Shop song slowed down 800%,  "J. BIEBZ - U SMILE 800% SLOWER"-style? 
 
Jeff Gerstmann, you sly motherfucker.

#105 Posted by CrazedMaverick (208 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Hahaha. Jeff totally duped Vinny and Brad. 

#106 Posted by Willin (1229 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Fuck Ryan Davis! Live the good life Jeff!

@Jeff: When will this get nominated for an Award?
#108 Posted by Bistromath (467 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

I love that shop music.
 
OH!

#109 Posted by MistaSparkle (2092 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Great way to end the day. 

#110 Posted by princess_zelda (51 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

 I actually think the 3DS shop will be a lot better than the DSi, simply because 100% of 3DS owners will have access to it. DSi owners didn't make up enough of the DS owning public to warrant making DSiWare games over retail DS games. If the e-shop was only included in the third model of 3DSes, it would flame out just as hard.

Ryan can't tell me what to do anymore.

#112 Edited by kerse (1652 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

#113 Posted by Milkman (14215 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

#115 Posted by Bistromath (467 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Oh dang, Dave?

#121 Posted by AgentMOO (180 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

CAN'T STOP THE E-SHOP ROCK!

#122 Edited by ALavaPenguin (140 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Wow just started listening I am not even joking this is even way better than the bombcast this was just amazing.  I can't wait to hear more about the E-shop!  Way better music too.  Dave is awesome too he is a great guest.

#123 Posted by sixghost (1679 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

KEEP RUNNING THAT TRAIN JEFF.

#124 Posted by MadLaughter (187 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

I honestly laughed for like 5 minutes straight.  The whole flipout and the 'find a guest' intermission.

#125 Posted by DystopiaX (4889 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

The theme for this is awesome.

#126 Posted by xanavi (173 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

This is an awesome Death Ray Radio thing you've got going on here. Don't stop!

#127 Posted by Chris2KLee (2259 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

The resistance lives!

#128 Posted by ScaryGaryofAk (50 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

I FULLY SUPPORT THIS ENDEAVOR!

#132 Posted by Sauson (553 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

lol Brad and Vinny acting confused was pretty god damn brilliant. Love that you're doing this, keep it up because this is one of the best things to happen since the Persona Endurance Run.

#133 Posted by McGhee (5514 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

I hope this really keeps going and it's not just a way for Jeff to fuck with Ryan. Is this turning into a real fight between Ryan and Jeff? Am I getting flash backs of hiding in the closet while my parents fight?  
 
Anyway, NintenDownload X-press ROCKS!  
 
Keep that train ROLLIN! CHOOO! CHOOO!

I loved the NintenDownload section of the Bombcast, so I'm happy to hear it's not dead yet. I was a little bummed when everyone decided to peace and leave Jeff by himself. I really just wish the section would be reincorporated into the regular Bombcast. But if that doesn't happen, please keep making these!

#137 Posted by Zaccheus (1433 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

iTunes rejected it... What?

#138 Posted by Korwin (1725 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Mate do you have any way to track how many people are jumping on board with this thing?  Next time Ryan rips on it you can claim that "The numbers don't lie".

#140 Posted by KittenMitten (111 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Excellent slow burn.  I didn't realize what was happening to Vinny and Brad until just before they did.

#141 Posted by xanavi (173 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

It's like I'm listening to Giant Bomb's own Death Ray Radio segment. This is hilarious.

#142 Posted by BaconGames (2509 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

It was great up until Dave left and Jeff was all depressed.  You could hear Jeff getting pulled down by the rest of the guys to stop and it's so sad.  I'm getting legitimately bothered at the rest of the crew for putting Jeff down like that.
 
This would be a great segment if there was someone to bounce the readings off of.  This is why having Brad or Vinny was so refreshing.  Admittedly still great that they got duped but honestly if Jeff is gonna put down he will break.  All I'm saying is fight the fight and make this work because I know it can.

I'm a super double agent. I'm against the Wii. God bless the U.S.A..
#144 Posted by milhous (14 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Jeff's brilliant combination of crazed readings and deep, existential despair makes this so, so great.

#145 Posted by ComradeKhan (687 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

This is the ONLY Bombcast as far as i'm concerned.

#146 Posted by Geralt (262 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Ryan needs to inform Shelby about this. First Gameroom and now this.
True friends shouldn't let Jeff getting himself hurt again :1

Um, you do realize they were in on this right?  
#148 Posted by Crushed (868 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

I just realized that Jeff is doing this because he can no longer hurt himself with Game Room.
 
He needs to feel pain in order to feel alive. :(

#149 Posted by bonbolapti (1556 posts) - 2 years, 4 months ago

Episode 2 came in pretty strong, I'm stoked for next week to see how this story unfolds!
