@thgamer: if it’s not in your time budget, you’re totally fine to delete Revengeance and stick with the main Bombcast. You’re not usually missing a whole lot, and I’m sure you’re not the only person skipping it. It’s the UPF of podcasts.
As for why it’s in the main Bombcast feed, I’m guessing it’s business reasons. Getting people to opt in to a new feed is hard, but putting it in the main RSS feed means the main Bombcast feed has more ad revenue per week and probably helps some other metrics like more downloads per week (even if many people autodownload it then delete like yourself).
Cool that they’re playing Slice & Dice. Been sinking many hours into it.
I like what that game is doing, but it has the worst case of programmer UI (derogatory) I’ve seen in a long time. The gameplay is sound, it’s fun as hell to play, but I think the main menu/collection/unlock screens are horrid and unintuitive, and even the gameplay UI feels a little unrefined to me (instead of numerical values for how much damage/healing/armour a die does, it uses pips, and I just don’t think the pips are very readable when the damage gets much higher than 3 or 4. No idea why the dev hates numbers).
Never before has a podcast so accurately captured the energy of your 2 weird uncles arguing about something completely unimportant at Thanksgiving dinner.
It’s rather criminal that Professor Layton never got mentioned at all during Best Portable Game of All Time, but other than that it was a fun discussion that I can’t be mad at.
The Super Nintendo Aladdin is also perfectly fine. People get way too bent out of shape over this Genesis vs. SNES Aladdin debate. They’re both pretty good.
@csl316: It’s also possible that Dan is so wrestling-pilled that at best he’s going to prefer something like Conan the Barbarian or Highlander over “so long, so boring, wizards are boring” Lord of the Rings.
