Giant Bombcast 637: Slow Off King

I've only been a Giant Bomb member for about a year and a half. I can honestly say, my favorite thing about you guys is the transparency when it comes to topical issues. The thing that's on everybody's mind gets addressed. You know we're thinking about it, and we know you're thinking about it. I know it's hard to talk about certain issues, especially on a big platform like GiantBomb, but I feel like you guys do a great job. It helps that you guys are empathetic, well informed, and knowledgeable. I love you guys so much and look forward to the Bombcast and Beastcast every week. Thank you for being real and thank you for the hard work you ALL do.

Defund the police

@pendejo93: Black Lives Matter. Police the police.

So happy to see Austin! (And Vinny - they were always such a great team).

Oh hell yeah, Austin AND Vinny on the Bombcast? Always appreciate all the work Austin does for the industry, love to hear his takes.

Vinny's been complaining about the villager being in the tent for like three weeks; it takes literally like ten minutes to log in as Max and fix the issue, just do it already for your own sake!

I genuinely love how you guys are being proactive and voicing your support for the Black Lives Matter movement, it means a lot and makes me proud to come to this site

Black lives matter. Defund the police. ACAB

That first 12 minutes is exactly what I needed this week. Black Lives Matter.

Really hoping Austin is able to drop in on another Bomb/Beastcast or two in the near future.

Always glad to have you back Austin (even if I listen to you twice a week already anyway lol)

Black lives Matter!

China Don't Care!

Fuck Ryan Davis!

Take care of your fellow duders!

Man, do you imagine if Austin made a comeback at GB. That'd be sweet!

And I forgot to say this earlier, but Black Lives Matter.

Black Lives Matter

Similar to Vinny, I'm also astounded by how many people hear Klei and go "Oh, the Don't Starve people?" I know people love survival games and it was a lucrative game for them, but wow do I think that is their least interesting game since Shank.

Mark of the Ninja, Invisible Inc., Griftlands, all such good games.

Black Lives FUCKING Matter

After the past couple of days, this podcast is like a nice warm blanket. Thank you Giant Bomb!

Black Lives Matter.

Always love it when Austin makes an appearance, especially when he gives one of his trademark glowing game recommendations that makes me want to drop everything and play that game immediately (here I come Umurangi Generation).

Thanks for everything you do, guys. The steady hands at Giant Bomb keep me sane while I'm smack dab in the middle of LA, surrounded by madness of all sorts. I appreciate you taking some time to speak out and using your platform to share resources where others can donate and support the Black community and the cause.

Black Lives Matter!

Bloody love Austin. I also love that he mixes some humour when he is discussing depressive life and social issues just to take the load of our shoulder a bit. Not only intelligent in his critique but emotionally too.

Really laughed out loud when he mentioned mixing metaphors.

Black lives, and I can't stress this enough, matter.

Black Lives Matter! Thanks for making a stand, GB. I'm proud to support all of you.

Re: Peanut butter and sandwiches, some other ingredients that go well with them are marshmallow fluff and bananas (each on its own, but they'd probably go well together). Also, I can swear that I've read about peanut butter, jelly, and cream cheese in a magazine somewhere ;x

@mookie1515: i didn’t realise how much i missed seeing this

Thanks for this today, y'all. I really needed it today and it put a huge smile on my face, and really did re-energize the spirit in just the right way to keep pushing on.

And Austin is so right - butter and bread are marvels of humanity.

Black Lives Matter. Black Trans Lives Matter. Fuck fascism, and fuck institutionalized racism.

Welcome back, Austin!! Black Lives Matter....much more than Kerbal lives!

Love seeing Austin. Thank you all for the words up front. Keep up the good work everyone.

Ben scored soooo many brownie points with me for his poetic defense of ice cubes in drinks over crushed!

Damn! How can I comment, and not give a shout out to my boy, Austin? Loved seeing him with the crew. Is Waypoint doing video podcasts yet? Would love to catch more of him and Patrick! I like the whole Waypoint crew, but Austin and Patrick have a special place in my heart.

Now, that Dan Ryckert gentleman...

I just don't care for wrestling enough, unfortunately. Would love to see him back on the Bomb. I really enjoyed that GB stream he was on recently.

Love you so much GB, power to the people ✊🏿

having a friend of mine die due to police sitting on their back and making fun of him, I get it. Unfortunately, those cops are still working as cops. RIP Tony Timpa, RIP George Floyd

So happy to see Austin on the podcast, and it's great having Vinny hang with the West Coast squad. It would be great to have more mix ups like this in the future.

@sto_ln: How does that even fucking happen!!?? Makes you ashamed to be alive. What kind of fucking world do we live in anyhow? Hopefully all the horribleness going on right now will effect some real change.

Two weeks ago the crew made light of nonviolent protesters, but now are in favor of protests even though those which have often turned destructive and violent. Like you guys, but it sure smells like hypocrisy.

"No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true"

any timestamps for the different sections?

For what is a very difficult task, I thought Austin spoke very eloquently and the crew made a graceful transition into games of the week. I know the crew said before how weird it is to do this during Covid and I imagine it's way weirder now. So thanks Austin and GB crew.

Austin is a treasure in the industry and a great example of why diversity can make way for bold, unique voices we all benefit from hearing and enjoying.

The last half hour was amazing! And the start of the podcast... Austin just has a way with words. It's almost frustrating to have him be able to explain what I've been struggling to articulate for a week in the perfect way (albeit, with a dozen nested metaphors lol).

BLM!

Seriously, with this? You don't see any difference between the situations?

This was a really enjoyable podcast considering how crappy the last couple weeks (and months of course) have been.

Hope everybody stays safe and of course...

Woo! Austin and Vinny on the Bombcast. It’s a great episode too. Shame Jeff wasn’t on it.
