Giant Bombcast 01-19-2010

We shake things up quite literally with weird Japanese drinks, Dark Void, our ideal Star Trek game experience, multiplayer Assassin's Creed, FPS hindsight, meat virgins, video game baby names, and much more in this week's Bombcast!

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

Whatever, at least you tried, Ryan. You're still going to Hell, but you're going with honor.

I'm surprised you guys didn't bring up the whole Acclaim promotional stunt where they paid somebody to name their kid Turok.
 
That along with the whole Shadowman tombstone advertising thing shows how classy Acclaim really was.

Oh, I know what you mean, doll.
 
YES IT IS THE 70'S NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP
 
Oh, and I think, being brown, I might just name my kid (if it's a boy, and if I ever have one) Altair. The video game is the back story. It for some reason also sounded like a strong, totally kickass name when I heard one of my Saudi Arabian friends say it properly.
 
I will train him in parkour. 
I will train him in all weapons.
I will train him in HONOUR.
 
And he will end up being a gamer geek like me and never putting any of that to use.

Oh, man. I would've edited that so fast it would make your head spin.
 
and I'm pretty sure they record quicklooks using clip-on mics hooked up to the capture equipment, to whoever asked that.

Why did I just get a new, shorter version on iTunes?  Did they go back and edit something out?

The drink tests dont get as much setup or significance anymore, i feel its to please the boring people who hate that part.
 
What the hell is wrong with vinny's awful impression of the Darksiders jingle? it's so bad! and i did also instinctively play the Zelda jingle when something happened but i very quickly loved the game's jingle more
 
I'm sad Jeff's exeperience with Army of Two wasn't a broken one, i would like to have someone who could relate to comepletely glitched up mess...it's a shame because underneath that, the game is a disappointment anyway.

I can understand wanting more of the view of the bridge in a Star Trek game.  Getting Patrick Stewart to do voice acting for a Star Trek game would have helped a bit...
 
Should there be a Fallout 3 segment of the Bombcast with the cash register noise for the introduction?

The intro was awesome.
 
Oh man, Brad's on the Oasis quest. Wonder how he'll complete that.
 
And I really, really want to see the STO Beta squad's reaction to the Starbase 24's Space war, it's awesome. Stayed in that area for like, two hours. Boarded the base three times (once on accident), slaughtered many, many people and got a load of loot. Then I met a dude who gave me free stuff for my ship. Then went back with my new weapons and defended the hell out of S-24 for another 30+ minutes.
 
Though it can get a bit cheap with the enemy fleet spawns. It's always surprising when a 10-ship fleet unstealths right behind you, taking off your shield with a barrage of phasers, then sending about 20 Torpedo's up your unshielded ass. But on the other side, it's always nice to obliterate 20 fighters within about a minute.
 
Gonna have to finish this bombcast later today, too tired right now. Good stuff so far though.

I would say if you're only gonna eat meat once, and you wanna try to convert the vegetarian, get a nice open-faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes, covered in gravy. Gravy is like pure concentrated meat essence.

XBL Silver accounts don't let you do jack shit. I'm surprised you're even allowed to open the disc tray with a silver account.
