Giant Bombcast 11-16-2010

@ Forever: mELLOw OUT Ol' "DUDE!"

Oh man. Gran Turismo needs to do something to help idiots play the game? GT5P couldn't have made it simpler: Here's a blue driving line to drive on, here's a red one on which you should brake - stick to that, and with a bit of time spent learning each car's specific handling, you have all the necessary help to start 'penetrating' the allegedly impenetrable series.  
 
I for one am glad that's where the hand holding ends. Games are meant to be challenging, and I'm happy that Gran Turismo doesn't assume players are inept retards, and requires a bit of effort on their part to get good at the game.

"Harmonix in stores now" XD good one jeff

I never bitched about that, I just thought it was dumb because I didn't know about how it was Blizzard's idea, and he was just going to go over and make a fool of himself. and I still think it's kinda dumb but whateva "

See, this is the part that I don't get.  Where does the firm belief that, even if it was done on GB's dime, that Brad would come back with zero worthwhile site content come from?  The idea that this was somehow all on a whim seems to lack any basis and was pretty damn dumb from the beginning. "

Well, said people can fuck off.  The GB crew talks about games I don't care about at length sometimes and I can live with it.  They can as well. "

Name one game they've talked about as much as Starcraft 2, as frequently as Starcraft 2. Atleast MW2 got it's own podcast instead of being sprinkled into every single one. "

Fable II?  Fallout 3?  ME2? "

The difference is is that those games are actually good and interesting to the majority, where as StarCraft is a boring piece of nerd shit which many people not only don't care about it,but talking about it actually puts them to sleep. "

25+ minutes of Starcraft talk is pretty shitty.  Move on we all have....

Ryan has the best laugh.

" Ryan has the best laugh. "

Yea uh... fast forwarded through the first fifteen minutes of this one.

Loved the part at the end where Vinny joked about calling the hotel and asking if Giant Bomb was there.

i don't think brad understood the question, but snsd wasn't there

I want that South Korea footage. Soooo crazy.

Not only that, but name one other game that has been played/will be played as long and as seriously as Starcraft. I dont give a fuck who you are or whether or not you have ever played Starcraft 1 or 2, denying that anytime is a perfect time to talk about Starcraft is just foolish. Look at it like this, every time anyone anywhere ever talks about Starcraft, its like pouring a relative amount of water into a bucket. When the bucket is full, that is when you have reached Starcraft conversation saturation. The only problem is, the bucket can hold an infinite amount of water. "

tl;dr: GB crew talks about what they find interesting at length.  Get over it. "

I don't have the slightest interest in playing Starcraft, but I find all the Korea stuff fascinating to no end. It's just so bizarre, and yet it makes sense. They're not a country known for general athletic prowess, so having some kind of sport like this is reasonable. And totally crazy.

Pac-man CE DX is coming out on PSN, next week though. 

"Midi-chlorian based dildonics"

I love Ryan for loving Assassins Creed. Give me kissey.

Pac-Man Champion Edition DX is coming out on PSN on the 23rd, is it not?

Hahaha. Those three has got to be the three most boring current WRPG franchises produced. But sadly the masses would gladly swallow their cocks since most of these people have never played the good WRPGs.     "

Regarding the napalm barrels 'error' on Blops....I never figured it out- so grenaded and strafed the trench then dropped in and started shooting...must have triggered the end of the wave of cannon fodder and allowed me to progress.

Wouldn't be mad about hearing a Whiskey Media...Starcrast though. Like, Brad, Norm, and somebody who can take point for a half-hour weekly or something. "

The last minute of the bombcast made me cry, fuckin hilarious.

Ryan is very excited about Assassins Creed Brotherhood's feature of sending your guild members out on missions that you do not go on, but they come back with $$ and experience... It is neat, but its not a new mechanic - Final Fantasy Tactics games did it a long time ago. (And there are others that have done that as well). Not saying its bad, but he acted like he hadn't heard of that before, just wanted to point out its been done.
 

Sweet, I never realized this podcast was available on Zune as there is never a button indicating so. 

RockStar should buy harmonix. hahahaaa i'm hilarious !!!

some of the shit in that quote tunnel is now so faint I can barely see it on my laptop.  
 
personally, I find starcraft II pretty interesting so I've listened to it all, but usually when something on here bores me (which happens a fair bit.  I don't expect, for instance, the guys to talk much about the new Total War game.  They have their interests, which sometimes aren't mine, and vice versa) I just turn it off or try to skip forward to where they start talking about another of the games mentioned in the blurb.

good shit fellas

Ohohoho. "

whats a WRPG? "

I never knew about the napalm on that level. I played it on Veteran with no napalm and took me 15 tries to get it. I felt like I was gonna go INSANE!!!!!!!!

The real question is if The Ninja Rap is worse than the Addams Family Rap

the napalm barrels on that level caused me to rage quit after about an hour of killing waves of dudes and eventually dieing several times when i said fuck it and just tried to run through, i looked it up online later

Haven't you played a COD game before?

Enemies infinitely respawn just about everywhere: the only way to advance is to make it past specific checkpoints.  Why would you sit there camping for an hour?

While we wait....watch this!!!
