Bombin' the A.M. With Alexa Ray Corriea: 08/18/2014

Awesome morning show, always enjoy Alexa and I'm a Tolkein nerd so I can't get enough talk about the world he built.

Also, I do agree that the star power behind Silent Hills really does push it more into the forefront of peoples minds, but the one thing that could have made me weep with joy would be them announcing the original Team Silent was working on it. PT was fanfuckingtastic, and I have full faith in Kojima, Del Toro and the dev team behing them to make one fucked up, twisted god damn terrifying game.

Any word on Patrick recruiting a freelance writer that he spoke about?

Playing Fatal Frame 2 all the way thru is a great idea, Patrick. The Xbox version has a first person mode, but it's still a very scary game without it.

Patrick, would it be expensive for Nintendo to just do a Japanese port with English subtitles of 'Fatal Frame Wii U'? Personally I would only want the Japanese voices anyway as the English interpretation is usually terrible.

Very cool! Thanks Scoops + Alexa

I remember really enjoying Zoop. Nostalgia does weird things to your objectivity.

The new Dragon Age looks bad to me. All the gameplay looks super boring.

I'd be okay with that. Hell, make it downloadable on the eShop! JUST GIVE IT TO ME.

Alexa's excitement is contagious - love having her on the show!

My wife walked in while I was watching Patrick play the teaser. She sat down and couldn't stop watching, in spite of hating every moment of it and watching through her hands half the time. I think they have something here.

Haha, I'm actually in Japan this October as my GFs from there. I'm tempted to buy as she could play with me and translate but doubt it will work on my PAL system.

Cheating is bad.

I'm eager to read your "Here's Why Tolkien Is Great and You're an Asshole: An Open Letter to Jeff Gerstmann and Dan Ryckert" piece, Alexa.

It's better than Mario 64. THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT!

My copy came with the Jungle Green N64, which was pretty baller.

GB needs someone like Alexa who understands crazy shit like Akiba Strip. Not saying Dan and Jeff weren't funny on the QL, but it would have been nice to have someone who somewhat understands more about the game rather than just straight up bashing it because they don't.

Just to add my voice into the mix: I really like it when Alexa comes on as a guest. Thanks for another great morning talk.

Giliath is Sindarian, not Quenya! Sheesh!

Agreed. Hope to see her back on Bombin' the A.M. soon.

@patrickklepek: If you're not to burnt out from Divinity you should definitely dip a toe into DA:Origins sometime before Inquisition comes out. You don't have to finish it but it's worth it just to familiarize yourself with the world.

@mr_creeper: She's been on once before, right? Have any other guests been on more than twice?

Yup, she was on a couple months ago. The only other guest that comes to mind is Cara Ellison, who's been on here twice, as well as a special feature stream with Giant BEAST.

I don't like using words like "elitist" or "ignorant", but I think it's a huge misstep for @patrickklepek to say things like "Donkey Kong 64 was shit. I didn't play it."

You could at least say "I heard it was bad" or "It wasn't well received". These declarative statements are strikingly ignorant sounding from someone of Patrick's stature in Patrick's position. You just made a statement then undercut your own statement.

Ah, it was def a platformer, with HEAVY shooting influences.
