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.

"How do you mean this shows up in the search before it's live?" Made me laugh out very loud.

I played every Splinter Cell game and I am not really feeling this one I think I will wait until it's discounted.

If they are doing all that with the new pokemans game, they should do the next gen of pokemans game as a Diablo2 clone that has a chart on the side showing the advantages/disadvantages of who you are fighting. I don't know about the other classic games mentioned but I know that there was an emulator rom that looked really good out for Black Tiger, all the games mentioned on the podcast would have been good. I'd rather see other games than Final Fight everywhere (as it's already out everywhere almost).  
 
Plus they forgot to mention on the bombcast the most valuable pokeman... Ekans.

Not really, Pokemon is something any age group can enjoy.  They're 30, but I'm glad they don't talk about taxes and infants all the time.

True, but it is marketed and manufactured specifically for a certain age group. Sure you can enjoy it to an extent if it's made well, but it's probably because these guys play games for a living that they get so much enjoyment out of it. Plus, I enjoy old kiddy movies I watched when I was a tyke, but I don't like the new ones.

While you can't catch the knife, somebody at Retro Remakes made a version of Kung Fu which grants the ability to throw a fireball (in the style of a certain other man who might be known to fight in a street). The ball of fire shows up after the first level.

Re: Video shows produced for the console. Yeah, The Tester and Horror Does Comedy missed the mark but you guys overlooked the biggest success: The Guild. Yes, it existed before going on Xbox Live but it wasn't until it got Xbox backing that it broke out big. They were able to shoot entire seasons instead of one episode here, one episode there whenever the crew was able to get some money and release on a regular schedule.

The funniest thing about pokemon is that the first ones were the fastest and overall best games. Also, why the fuck are they still on the handheld platform?

@DoctorWelch: I guess because the formula still works, and handheld development is less expensive.
