My body is ready. It is ready.

Not many people's favourite day of the week is Wednesday, but that's what Bombcast does for me :)

3 hours of podcasting goodness!!!!

I better get my horse-on-dragon-on-giant-on-bear action from this podcast

Finally!

SNAAAAAKE KICKEEEEEEEER!

Three hours. Welcome to the holiday releases duders.

I'm really curious if the Skyrim marathon has been archived anywhere. I didn't want to watch it until I had experienced the first few hours of the game myself.

Finding it pretty weird how the Dunmer all have British accents now. It actually sound good, but a), it makes me wonder about Bretons - I think they're default to backwoods American accents now? and b), I miss the Dark Elf voice filter from Morrowind.

The (House) Redoran name shows up in some strange places, too. But I think that's probably just my ignorance of the previous conflict between Nord and Dunmer rather than actual retconning.

Woo!

Stabbin' dudes like uh uh uh uh uh.

No lollygaggin'!

I've spent the first two minutes imagining Ryan actually doing all the voices by himself...hold me.

Perfect timing to spend the afternoon laxing it out in the sun with some Giantbomb.

New bombcast. YES!!!

Something nice to go with my Skyrim! Woo!

Skyrim! Dragons! Jeff's raccoons! Vinny's (casual) racism!

HERE BE BOMBCAST.

I used to listen to Bombcasts while closing Oblivion gates in Elder Scrolls IV. What's a good grindy thing I can do in Skyrim while listening to the Bombcast?

The artwork in iTunes is messed up for me. It's showing the Portal 2 logo. Is it just me or somebody at GB messed up while publishing the podcast to iTunes?

so many games out. saving my hard earned cash for Arkham City PC on tuesday.

one tenth the amount of hours i've already put into skyrim,

THANK YOU BASED GOD

The sheer number of big-budget games coming out this week is RIDICULOUS. So a 3-hour Bombcast is only fitting for the occasion.

Hope they talk about Rayman Origins. Man that game looks really good.

Well, Orcs being an off shoot of elves make sense given that their lineage as well in Tolkien lore.  Though, I was under the assumption that the Thalmor and Altmer were different?  Or are they the same?

all those other games besides Skyrim?  I forgot they existed.  They may as well not exist.  There is only SKYRIM.

Thalmor are basically the enforcers of a separate nation of High Elves, which is the Dominion. They've pretty much forced the Khajit and Wood Elves to split from the empire and serve them through brute force, and had the Empire on the ropes until the treaty.

I'm listening while playing Skyrim and at the exact moment Brad started talking about how cool it was to open a random book and have a new quest start, it happened to me.

Yay Comcast!

Dude, that sounds like an awesome coincidence.

I'm enjoying Skyrim much more than I ever expected to. I though Dark Souls was gonna be my GOTY but this has bested it in many ways. I don't know how Bethesda can top this but they have made a fan out of me.

Ugh, once in a blue moon the bombcast(Brad in particular) can be so hyperbolic. Had to skip past the Skyrim talk.

I always felt like they've spread one game's worth of great story over a whole series with Assassins Creed. The Desmond story is what matters but it's drip fed out and fairly boring other than one or two crazy twists. On the other hand the Ezio (and to a lesser extent, Altair) stories are reasonably engaging but largely inconsequential.

Brad, I'd go along about Skyrim, but it is fantasy, I want it Sci-fi. This should have happened for Fallout....
