Giant Bombcast 06-28-2011

We celebrate a special birthday with a 100-foot lava man, wizard beef, controversial pie, the world's worst lapdance, Swery, and everyone's favorite, the United States Supreme Court. It's a party, y'all!

The Giant Bombcast is the world's most beloved video game podcast, and now it's available in video form.

Wait, this is the first time I've ever fucking heard of them using an AC. I listen with headphones on and I have never, EVER noticed something in the background being a dick and making a lot of noise.

You guys are delusional.

Same here, and I use quality head phones at that, never was bothered by any kind of background noise whatsoever.
 
but even it there was a noticeable AC bg noise, it's still too god damn bitchy to write them complaining about it...

Kurt Busch is from Australia? Someone better tell him his whole life is a lie.

It's ok Ryan. You're a trooper for just showing up at the race, and enduring the noise and the masses of humanity. Sounds like he had a blast. Awesome.

At like 1:52 Patrick asks if the free TF2 could happen on PS3, and Jeff says "no playing with PC players would suck" etc... Well Portal 2 does 'cross game play' already right? AND Team Fortress is already on PS3 so they could have the PS3 version free still even if its not connected to the PC version. So why did Jeff shoot that down? Weird!

Story and characters are important to me, so looks like I'll be completely missing out on INFAMOUS 2.

Patrick exaggerated how bad it was. If you actually compare it to other video game stories it's perfectly serviceable, and better than the first game's story.

Just like how virtually everything about the game is improved from the first, but they've completely failed to put that across on the show.

Several gigabytes of updates and bugfixes, mods are two things I can think of why crossplay is undoable.

Because two-player co-op in a slowly paced puzzle game is completely different from the large-scale competitive insanity of TF2.

Man, if you went by the Bombcast, Infamous completely fucking sucks, and that's ridiculous. Also, a lot of talking in ignorance.

Feel free to enlighten us, unless ignorance means "disagreement with my opinion."

@Brad: The part about having to 'grind the karma out' doing side missions in order to betray your alignment. You hit those choices (the 'new power' choice, and the final choice) and it automatically throws you all the way blue or red. Which was kind of a bummer when I hit the 'new power' choice, as I was about halfway to filling out my hero karma and it made me full on heroic after. Similar to the original Infamous where using the second Ray Sphere makes you immediately all the way evil and throwin' black lightning.

A petty gripe, you do say 'its my impression', but hey. As for the 'sounds like it sucks', if no one read the review and just went by the Bombcast, it sounds like Infamous is completely mediocre. The words suck, horrible and meaningless get used so much, I'd never have believed it got 4 stars. I think 4 is accurate, but shit dude, it don't sound like that on the Bombcast.

To be fair they only talked about the story and always added "but it doesn't really matter". It was a fun disscussion about the sillier aspects of the game that can be overlooked if you are actually enjoying the game. People really tend to jump on words or more the tone of conversations. In this case they were making fun of that aspect of the game but people hear "Infamous 2 is garbage". C'mon, guys. It doesn't really matter, espessialy if that made the 100 ft lava man possible.
P.S.
If you are actually interested in the game I can say that it's pretty good. For all my word is worth of course.

@Brodehouse: For some peculiar reason review scores of at least Brad, Jeff, and Alex often seem to betray just about everything they say about it outside of the review. It's strange.

What the fuck, you should not tell the people that work on video games that they should have shitty working conditions. At least say that this shit should fucking stop, so stupid, shit is making me angry as fuck.

BUT TEAM FORTRESS 2 IS ALREADY ON PS3!!!! Patrick didn't say it had to be cross platform, Jeff did. That's what i am saying, Jeff assumed it had to be cross platform, but its NOT now, why not free on PS3 as well? How is it obvious that PS3 owners shouldn't get it free? (Or Xbox owners, but Patrick was pointing out that PS3 already has Steam though so maybe it would be way easier for Valve to make it free on PS3, where Xbox might make them jump through hoops to do so). You all seem to miss the obvious! He is not saying it has to be cross platform necessarily. Just free!

Same thing happened with BioShock 2. Jeff gave it 4 stars, then he and a bunch of people who never played it commenced awkward slander against it. It's almost as if they're pandering journalists who enjoy more than anything the sound of their tongues slashing the air, or something...

Kind of sad hearing Ryan kind of defend the crunch stories at Rockstar with the usual "Really good games need this" excuse that we heard recently from a lot of people about Cyberpunk.

But you know, 10 years ago. I'm sure his stance on it changed from here on out too. Love ya Ryan.
