Giant Bombcast 04-13-2010

We discuss high-score tactics in Yar's Revenge, Bleszinski vs Bieber, the birth of Respawn Entertainment, the exciting conclusion to our Splinter Cell: Conviction wager, the potato turducken, and, if you can believe it, much more!

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

These are getting earlier and earlier.  I accidentally clicked, yet low and behold, it is up.  It used to go up around 9pm here in Wisconsin, now it is late afternoon.

"Damn You Mitchellll...!" is my biggest laugh-so-hard-no-sound-comes-out this week.
Tragic though. Can't even bring myself to make a hyperspace joke.

Whoa whoa whoa hold the phone. Richard K. Morgan is writing Crysis 2?
 
Richard K. Morgan who wrote Altered Carbon, the best sci-fi novel of the last decade?
 
I am now approximately ten thousand times more interested in Crysis 2.

Vinnie, in Mass Effect 2 if you've finished the game and you currently have no relationships going on, you can go to your captains quarters and get Yeoman Chambers to do a stripper dance for you. Dip back in for it, you know you want to.

I know this is kinda obvious, but why would they talk about Conan, who fucking cares. I would much rather them read like 3 or 4 more emails than talk about that shit for 20 minutes.

Max Weinberg has been confirmed as NOT being the new Tonight Show bandleader.  Instead, it's American Idol music director Rickey Minor.

@DoctorWelch:   Probably because not all the e-mails that Ryan receives makes it to the podcast, and even after they do, Ryan actually wants to read on-air.  He talked about it on a podcast quite awhile back.

Quality cast. I picked up Kasumi early on in a Mass Effect 2 save and she does chime in just as much as any other party member. So good on BioWare for that.
