YAY!

Once again, Ryan, thanks for the podcast. But I'm still going to kick your damn ass for making me stay up til 1:30 every Tuesday. 3 hours or less of sleep here I come!

Mercury in high fructose corn syrup?

Bombcast ~ ~ ~

Hurray, thanks for another episode of the Bombcast!

You guys posted this on 2/4 and the podcast is 2 hours and 4 minutes. What a strange coincidence.

Giant Bongcast! Oh Snap!

Not really. :)

nothing mellows me out like the bombcst.....except mabye drank

awesome podcast. missed the last couple, only caught parts, this one is really good. 

Giant bongcast  8)

funny that Ryan says "We can talk around the ending of PoP", and then Vinny can't and totally spoils the ending.

Also: I am going to start the giant bongcast.

Killzone 2 I predict 4 out of 5 stars.

With all the bad things you've said..... I can't see it being 5 outta 5.

Every time i listen to the bombcast, 26 comments, every time!, well now its 27.

Short Controlled Bursts, as with all assualt rifles. Or personally, single shot! nothing beats it.

Haha King Kong? "it's ok, i got enough magazines!" that game wasn't that bad.

I honestly don't think SHIFT will be as much of a simulation as you say Jeff, i'm not really a fan of Gran Turismo either, but im a huge fan of cockpit views, so even if it was a hardcore sim, i'd buy it and be boned. I think it will be in between Forza and GT in terms of sim...or at least i hope.

EDIT: Bare in mind i am aware of how "sim" GTR was.

Not being able to move while shooting honestly isn't the problem with RE5 for me, its everything else that bums me out.

Woot! Bombcast before school rules! Glad its a late-start day!

I swear I remember Ryan saying he bought a site for no reason at all when he was working at Gamespot and thats where I originally thought giantbomb game from until Jeff and Dave were saying about where the name came from.

Here's another Eve Online story back from 2004 called The Great Northern War which I was in and apart of Rona back then.

Gratz on the upcoming 30th.... though really getting old sucks :( Was fine until I was 21 and then it's like WHYYYY GOD WHYYYYYY?

That's very good to hear Ryan

Abnormal download rates of The Giant Bombcast- averaging around 20 KB/Sec. I've tested my general connection- and it appears to be Bombcast specific. Help would be a appreciated.

Looking forward to the KZ2 review.

Yes, you SHOULD have weekly tales of EVE-online. That was one of the awesomest things I have eve heard...

Yeah they really should have a weekly EVE-online segment.

damn, i really want to play Eve Online for some reason, but know that there is no way in hell im gonna devote my life to something so worthless.

Besides EVE Online is all about how much real life money you are willing to put money into it. You wont be effective without having ALT accounts and you wont be effective without ISK so you have to buy isk constantly to replace lost ships as gaining it in the game is tedious.

That picture reminds me of days long passed.

they say "Giant Bomcast every Tuesday night" when its actually every Wednesday morning. somebody tell that Vinny guy he has to go down a sewer man hole to get to Reilly's Rangers hideout. it's a reeeeeeally small manhole and looks like background fodder. it took me a million years to figure that one out. the map leads you to it, but the map doesnt say "this tiny manhole right here under you" though. fuck Fallout 3.

Regarding the 720p/1080p question.  MGS4 actually renders at 720p and i believe GT5:P scales horizontally to 1080p. Great bombcast btw, wednesday morning would be a lot duller without you guys.

Where I come from its called a bong and not a potpipe

For anyone else trying to get on the good side in Fable 2 without having the Temple of the Light: Go to one of the big cities (for sure in Bloodstone and Bowerstone old town) and find one of the beggars, they are usually lying on the ground. Gift them some cash and get instant good points. To go from  pure evil to pure good cost me somewhere close to $1 mil, so have allot of cash money.

Eve Online really sounds like an insane game, even more so because most of the insane stuff was created by players themselves with developers merely providing an outline.

As for games that run at 1080p on PS3, you guys forgot pirates of the caribbean: at worlds end ;)

i dont understand the problem with PoPs ending. it so fits with the prince's character. the prince had a definate personality, you just happened to be moving him. he didnt give a fuck about anybody until elika, and he wasnt going to let her go.

That EVE story is quite old, PC gamer ran a story covering it.

Nice to hear about it again though.

Two comments about Fallout 3.  It doesn't actually scale, except for some of the storyline stuff and Operation Anchorage.  You have plenty of opportunities to blunder into areas you're under- or over-leveled for.  Also, if you have the destination in your pipboy, your map will give you intermediate waypoints through the downtown areas.  If you trust the marker on your compass, it'll get you right where you're going.

And speaking of Eve Online, did you hear about Band of Brothers getting disbanded by a rival corp and a defector?  That game is fucking nuts.

Also, Korg DS-10 came out in November.  I'm not sure what it's doing on the list for this week...  Maybe GameStop is finally deciding to carry it?  It was only a few places that actually carried it before.
