Giant Bombcast 02/09/2016

I'm fine with it in the context of them having a general podcast but to me it's ridiculous GB doesn't do spoilercasts basically that yeah go into depth.

They keep shrugging it off, like with The Witness, as if they will just discuss the game in some other format but then haven't done anything to that end. I know they're looking for more podcasts. Irregular 30-45 min plus podcasts just on one game would be fantastic.

'Topes win!!!

Craiglist dates?!

Am I the only person who rubs soap on a TOWEL and then uses the soapy TOWEL to wash my body? That seems to be the most efficient way to wash yourself in the shower to me. I don't have a dirty soap bar, I don't waste money on body wash containers, and I can easily wash my towels in the washing machine.

NewDan is not rockin if he doesn't try soap and towel.

@lurkero: Soap towel? You're a crazy person!

Nothing about GameTrailers shutting down after 13 years?

@mickdog524: They recorded this yesterday, the GT news broke much later in the day.

lol Dan, "Snake men"

They have boobs. Boob snakes. Wearing a sports bra.

I was in a room where the Super Bowl was on a TV but I didn't watch it, does that mean I won't be deported from America?

I think the most fun I had at the Super Bowl party I went to was having the perfect mix of sports and regular nerds together, because we start yelling stuff like "Ron Rivera has to cast Wish to win the game." and "Cam, it's time to activate Dragon Install!"

@lurkero: i'm disgusted

@amyggen: I see.

I've had a really nice time playing The Witness while drinking...

Man, one of these dudes I just can't understand a word he says

@wrecks said:

Some soap advertisers seem to make very little effort in making their soap commercials anything but erotic.

If by towel, you mean washcloth, I'm right there with you

Brads new nickname should be the roadblock or something cause he always stops a discussion right before anyone can say anything interesting. Ie firewatch.

Shower gel all the way. You soap people are crazy. Maybe that's more of a US thing because I know very few people (aside perhaps of the older generation) who don't use some form of gel/mousse thing. Just put a bit on your hand and it lathers up well.

Heck, I don't even like using a bar of soap for hand washing. Definitely prefer a "liquid soap" for that too: easier, smells better, and doesn't require a holder to prevent it from sliding all over the worktop.

Hey Strong Fitness-Man!

@bigmess: heynong man!

...wait

@tajasaurus: Hey there Wrong Podcast-Man!

There's always snipers at every NFL game

Someone check this man's garage because I'm pretty sure there are dead bodies in it.

@tajasaurus: @bigmess: @warpig87: Gimme that pill!

@uninvincible: Are Those Muppets Gonna Fuck Khaleesi?!

Can't help but not be surprised that Dan would adjust well to a sudden increase of a police state

Chris Tucker wants to know "are the Muppets gonna fuck Khaleesi".

Gimme that pill! I want that pill!

@devil240z: I second this.

I never thought I'd say this but good job by Brad on reigning in the Firewatch spoilers

where's Jeff

I don't use any kind of shampoo in my hair. Just water. I do use soap and body wash on the rest of me.

I'm pretty old. Still apparently a thing.

Rorie is the best!

I could listen to shower and sleep talk for an entire podcast

Thank you so so much! Wish I'd seen this before I played it. I REALLY wish someone on staff could do this weekly. Listeners could save a LOT of time avoiding spoilers for particular games or being able to skip discussions about things they don't care about.

No problem if they go into Spoiler discussions *IF* they can put time stamps up.

Yeah agreed. Timestamps would be great

I don't think I've ever agreed with Dan until that soap-directly-on-body segment. I'm scared.

Also, I don't think I've heard El Pork's name mentioned on a podcast since TalkRadar, that was weird.

Who needs showers? I have a powdered bacteria that i cover myself in once a day. I haven't showered in 16 years!

@wrenchninja: Muchas gracias.

You know, sometimes I want a little Matt Rorie in my Bombcast. No complaints here.

Rorie was on rare form on this one, loved it.

That thumbnail reminds me of the Fawlty Towers opening. Every time they re-arrange the letters to spell something different.

Witcher 3 does time of day shadows properly I think. Right?

Rorie freaking rules. Also dan's "done it hundreds of times and I haven't been murdered once" re Craigslist made me guffaw for some reason.

Ahh yes, the ol' powdered bacteria in a Gatorade bottle trick, works every time!
