This has been confirmed via his livestream, which I believe is currently still going at the time of this writing. Are you hype? If not, are you going to get hype?
Ice T bombcast will happen within 2 months, says the OG
" I just don't understand the love for Ice T, he's barely black enough to act as 'gangsta' as he does and he's just an old man who couldn't rap. "Jeff and Ryan like him. Thus, dozens and dozens of giant bombers follow.
" E3 bombcast maybe? "That actually seems the most likely scenario. He has gone to past E3s, and with both of them in the same place, and potentially Johnny V....
Man, if this goes down this way, it'll be the biggest day in Bombcast history.

He says it during the last 20 minutes or so. I forget where, exactly.
" adam, johnny and Ice-T on an E3 bombcast would be pretty hillarious "I would want Leigh Alexander on there too, only because I know Ice would not have the patience for her bullshit.

" @Marokai said:i'm sure they would because he's a huge name, but obviously they wouldn't care otherwise." @RiotBananas said:I think that's exactly it too."

Thus, dozens and dozens of giant bombers follow. "If they hadn't mentioned him at all then most of the people jizzing their pants over this right now wouldn't even know who Ice T is.And what he is: nothing special"
I'm just curious how it will work out. I can just see him being in a small segment of the podcast because it may just be awkward to have him for the whole thing.
" @Marokai said:I don't care about him at all, but i still think it'd be a bombcast to remember." @RiotBananas said:I think that's exactly it too."

No matter what direction this goes, it's bound to be magical.
@RiotBananas: It didn't think much of him initially, but I after the hype brought on by Jeff and Ryan, I checked out his twitter and I found his persona genuinely amusing. And I don't mean that in a condescending way. He seems like a fun guy with a lot of drive and confidence and an interesting take on life. And it's just fun as a guy who really likes video games to see someone famous be totally excited about video games.
regardless of what we think of Ice T, the guy is an A list star and it's awesome that he would spend some time with the giant bomb crew. If you think about it, it's probably bigger than having Miyamoto or Reggie on the podcast.
Maybe if a significant portion of the Giant Bomb audience were posting from caves in Afghanistan your statement might have some merit.If they hadn't mentioned him at all then most of the people jizzing their pants over this right now wouldn't even know who Ice T is.
I would like it on record that I genuinely like Ice-T's earlier output (Rhyme Pays, Power, Iceberg et al) since listening to him a lot in high school c1989. Therefore I'm most certainly, as you crazy kids seem fond of saying, hype." @RiotBananas said:
