Giant Bombcast 04/02/2013

After back-to-back PAX East and GDC, it's a decidedly low-key week on the Bombcast. We fight off the malaise with spoiler-free BioShock Infinite talk, Ouya impressions, Metal Gear Solid V thoughts, and more!

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

I'll take that as an act of malice. Bastards.

I like at least this brief return of the 2 hour-ish bombcasts. I find myself spacing and not paying attention to 50% of the extended ones. These are way more easily digested and enjoyable for me.

I can't play Bioshock until tomorrow, so would someone here be so nice to tell me when they start talking about it and when they stop? I really want to try to hear as little as possible, eben if they don't spoil a single thing.

Effing A it is.

@patrickklepek You can get a trimmer for about $20 on amazon. Anything will work, you just need something with an adjustable and REMOVABLE guard. That's key because you wanna be able to take it off so you can just get down to stubble without it. Beyond that, you should just use whatever you used before to get clean shaven. No need to invest in anything expensive. I use a $20 trimmer for my facial hair and maintaining a high and tight, it works great. Razor is best for clean shaves, so don't get an electric shaver with a trimmer end, because that'll be slow and shitty for both. If you want to shape your facial hair, use a razor for that. It's easier to control, and gives you a cleaner, closer shave.

@jeff I think the reason David spoke out was because people were talking, not because he just decided to speak on it. I think he has the right to announce that he wasn't even approached because A) he was a part of the franchise for so long and B) a lot of people will care about that information. Confirming he isn't the voice actor in MGS5 doesn't really come off as a dick move at all. He's just informing folks. And what I've read from him was pretty down to earth. He wasn't upset, he was just communicating with his fans.

The one time I've an 8-hour flight to kill, and the Bombcast is a short(ish) one. Now, to resist temptation and try to not listen to it before Friday.

Brad Spoilermaker strikes again! I guess he gave a small warning before mentioning those thread titles for Bioshock 1, so whatevs (I normally don't care about someone spoiling a 7 years old game, but I'm guessing that quite a few are playing Bioshock 1 for the first time now before playing Infinite/after playing Infinite.)

@amyggen: Even if they are playing it for the first time because of Infinite, it is still a 7 year old game. There is no protection for a game of that age.

@brocksampson: Yeah, I totally understand that viewpoint, and I'm not normally someone who complains about spoilers.

I already regret posting my comment :)

A warning to any, Brad & Patrick talk about the new BioShock and try to talk around spoilers. Good luck with that.

And guys, giving the game credit for having gaps in the story telling is a little deluded.

You only need to care about TV lag if your playing fighting games, and maybe FPS games.

But at that point you should buy monitors like an ASUS anyway, so don't pay more money for something you'll get used to and only notice if you play a less laggy TV anyway.

I'm totally opposite of Jeff. Story lines coming off of MGS3 is exactly what I want and if I found out it was following up on MGS2/4 stuff I would lose interest immediately.
