Shouldn't Jeff say that Dark Souls is for jerks, since they used that anime image.

I think that's implied.

I'm really not that worried about Titanfall. It's on Source engine; nothing EA could do can mess that up.

Can someone timestamp any talk of Demons/Dark Souls, DOTA, League, anime, Drew's type-A hipster self betterment lifestyle activities, Vinny's parenting, Brad's e-sports news and Jeff's complaints about some weekend console update tedium so I can skip them?

You're listening to the wrong podcast.

Of course Ryu is a Psionic. Why didn't I think of that. God bless the AD&D canon.

alright jeff. I'm a little late to the party but I finally put on Spring Breakers. Fuck you Jeff. God. I'm finishing off the second half tonight. That is if I can make it through before turning it off in just pure disgust. Can't believe I've been pulled in to something like this. Here goes!

Am I the only one puzzled that the podcast even needs ads? Didn't the site merge with a multibillion dollar company? Does this site not get funding from cbs or whatever?

Because multibillion dollar companies did not get there by giving stuff away for free.... Did you think they bought GB because they liked the content or the people behind it? This site needs to make a profit in some way or it will disappear.

That may be my favorite image they've used for the bombcast in a long time. It makes me think of the guys dressed up and cosplaying as various characters from Bleach.

Which Bleach character do you think best fits each of them?

Jeff = Kenpachi (Kenpachi pretty much fight the same way Jeff play's video games)

Drew = Ichigo (The strong silent type)

Brad = Ishida (Very clever, but refuse to back down on his ideals to a fault)

Patrick = Shunsui (Ladies man)

Vinny = Ukitake (everybody loves him, but he has a tendency to get ill)

Alex = Ganju Shiba (I love you Alex, but yeah..)

Ryan = Aizen (Master of trolling)

Okay, I love your choices. Some weird ones, but Jeff as Kenpachi? Hell yes.

Yeah, the weren't all as easy as Jeff! Vinny especially was something I thought most people wouldn't get. I just feel like Vinny often talk about him being sick, stressed, hurting his arm, having a problem with his eyes, etc. Might just be me though.

I love how Brad chose not to get the Drake Sword again because he was being cheated out of knowing certain mechanics but Soul Arrow.....Soul Arrow.....Soul Arrow.

Difference being that he hasn't played Demon's Souls before and didn't know about Soul Arrow's...properties. For Brad, using Soul Arrow = getting the Drake Sword, so I don't see the point of the comparison.

Christ almighty, the amount of pseudoscientific nonsense on this podcast reached near untolerable levels. Please talk about other non-video game related topics next time. And Brad, don't get your science factoids from bits of NDGT on YouTube or sketchy parts of the internet.

I preferred the never ending DOTA2 discussions to this inexplicable Dark Souls obsession currently swamping the site

This is the first episode of bombcast I've ever listened to. The amount of video game talk is a small percentage to the total length of the cast and much less than other gaming podcasts I listen to such as idle thumbs and 1 More PodCastle.

The deadly seriously talk about a pool full of chips had me laughing on my way to work.

I am now a subscriber to bombcast.

I forget if it was this episode or last but I did my own little case study for that dog pooping theory. Out of 10 dumps, she only faced directly north/south twice. She favors West and Southwest for those wondering.

Also I used to have another dog and he once pooped while peeing with his leg in the air. It was quite impressive and I believe he was facing east.

Isn't Brad the one who's sick all the damn time? They even mention it in the first three seconds of the 1/14 episode during the commercial read.

I think of Vinny more as Ichigo's dad. He's an irreverent, cool dad that also knows how to tear shit up from time to time.
