#1 Edited by rjayb89 (7582 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Wow, I cannot believe that they made the guy this guy.  Wow. 
 
Hint: Dude was mentioned on the bombcast by Jeff Gerstmann.  They met at an airport. 
Hint: Judging from his page here on this here site, he is currently working for BioWare. 
Hint: His name sort of rhymes. 
 
UPDATE 
Hint: This specific bombcast was an all e-mails edition bombcast. 
Hint: Apparently, he works for En Masse Entertainment now. 
Hint: His name continues to sort of rhyme.

Ahem, any cast in particular? I listen to every single one of them and still haven't thought of who it could be.
 
I was SO sure it was gonna be Johnny V or J Allard.

hmm... i cant remember one name drop from one bombcast, a little narrowing down would be nice

#4 Posted by brodywb (179 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

This one is killing me too. I have tried everyone I can think of, but no luck yet.

#5 Posted by Not_Rage (460 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

I thought it would be Nolan North or 50 Cent

#6 Posted by TheMasterDS (1246 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

I thought for sure I had it when I put in Franz Longzinger.

#7 Posted by UnlivedPhalanx (465 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

I was offended it wasn't Shigeru Miyamoto, that man is a God in this industry for all his contributions.

#8 Posted by monkyofdoom (101 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Yeah could use some hints on this one too :(

#12 Posted by RobotHamster (3967 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

I thought it was Rich Gallup but no luck, its killing me, and also the guy with the hoodie and blazer, argggghhhh!

#13 Posted by KaosAngel (13766 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

What minute into the podcast does he mention it?  I got the right episode, just need the time.  >.>

#14 Posted by brodywb (179 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

The guy with the hoodie and the blazer is someone that they used to talk about on the Bombcast all the time, but this most important man has me stumped.

#15 Posted by TripMasterMunky (2393 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

I need this one as well as the person related with the MMORPG. no clue on that one.

After I tried this I tried Jeff Gertstmann. No. That wasn't it either. Then I looked up Pong's creator. No. Then Tetris's creator. NO.

#18 Posted by Miketorreza (107 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

This is a REALLY obscure one. I can't believe I remembered it from some random bombcast... Good luck duders, you're gonna need it.

#21 Posted by thecleric (793 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

John V was robbed

#22 Posted by TripMasterMunky (2393 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Got it. Would never have gotten it if not for the hints in the first post.
 
Now, anyone want to hint me for the Famous Friends quest where it's about some dude in an MMORPG? That's the only one I need and I have no clue.

#23 Posted by monkyofdoom (101 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

God, I just cannot think of it. Can someone post, I don't know, like the initials or something?

The first post provides pretty good hints. I'll provide another: He could be related to forests and lumberjacks.
#25 Posted by TheMasterDS (1246 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Got it! Brute forced it by going to the Bioware page and clicking on every name I saw. That didn't work, so I went to the Mass Effect 2 Page and did the same.

#26 Posted by RobotHamster (3967 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago
@TripMasterMunky: Don't know if its too much of a hint but he made an mmo which was recently shut down because no one played it.
#27 Posted by NoDeath (795 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

Finally got it, christ that was kind of stupid I don't remember the GB guys say anything about him.

#30 Posted by RobotHamster (3967 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago
@monkyofdoom: is there any hints you could give the rest of us?
#31 Posted by FrankCanada97 (4037 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

I'm stuck on the Hooded Blazer one. I swear I've seen someone wear that before. Any hints guys?

#32 Posted by NeoSHODAN (128 posts) - 3 years, 2 months ago

To everyone reading this, thanks for not posting the answer in the forums.  We know it's hard.  But it's fun seeing people starting to think like guys downstairs...

Oh c'mon. You don't deserve a hint for that one. Only cool people know him.

The second half of his first name sounds like the first half of his last name.
