Giant Bombcast 03-09-2010

We are joined by special guest "Vinny Caravella" as we warm up for GDC 2010 with close calls with Bam Margera, the scrum master certification process, the literal definition of Phoenix Down, Ryan's Abe Lincoln action game, and much more!

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

We would never lie about this.  We would be killed if we lied about Rich being on the podcast.

For the first minute and a half, I was thinking to myself  'man, I don't know what they've done to the mics but Vinny sounds like Rich for some reason'. Then I restarted the podcast and listened closer and went 'wait a minute...'

Dear Lord early podcast, also the pic of Abraham Lincoln made me think of the video for Electric Six's "Gay Bar" immediately.

Is the podcast supposed to be 1 hr only. It cut off very suddenly. I think there is something wrong with the player.

I literally gasped when I heard Jeff say he didn't like beef sticks.  He must be mistaken...

Brad XIII is EXACTLY like X, the game world DOES open up later on, it opens up at almost the exact same length as X, i can't wait until you realize how much it opens up and how great it is:)

Oh man, have to admit, never "got" Phoenix Down either. And I played me a bunch of Final Fantasy back in the day.

Haha, I love the callback to last week's Infinity Ward discussion with Rich's joke and Ryan and Jeff going "Yeah, we covered those overtones last week".

When you guys were talking about how many levels you would gain with killing crawmerax with using one level 1 character, we went in with 3,  61 guys and a brand new level Brick. He got up to 30 by the end of the match.

No, the predecessor to the bombcast is the Arrow Pointing Down podcast.
