Giant Bombcast 05-04-2010

Can't wait for the Alan Wake QL.

Check out Multi-Facial: 
 

" Early podcast! "

For fuck's sake guys. You HAVE to stop incorrectly saying games are from the same team that made other games. Fallout New Vegas only has a few members who worked on minor things in previous Fallouts. Obsidian is no Troika.

early one ;)

I'm really enjoying the beta, but I still can't deal with the typical halo fan. Doing a beta throwdown sounds great, but how do I go about getting into a TNT game?  Do I need to add one of the staffs gamertags or... something like that?

The Mickey Rourke Whopper    aint got nothing on a jean claude van damme burger.    

What just happened? I opened my browser, clicked GiantBomb and bam! I was here, I didn't even click on the Bombcast button! AWESOME!

tip to Vinny: plug in headset, take of head, enjoy silent fun multiplayer

spooging over totally linear cut-scene fest Alan Wakes lol

Tip to Brad: Don't do that Zeno Clash voice when I have my headphones on.

YO VINNY I'VE BEEN HEARING SOME THINGS ABOUT YOUR MOM

My mom? On the Bombcast? Oh, it's a dream come true!!1

Alan Wake QL and review very very soon ..... brilliant !

I don't get why the guys always talk about how they hate listening to people voice chatting in multiplayer when you totally don't have to. There's rarely anything worth hearing.

Vinny's mom has the genes that gave Vinny his subpar Haloing skills! OOOOOOH, BURN.   Vinny, <3 you. And your mom is a classy lady.

Does this picture imply that there's a Whopper that looks like  Mickey Rourke's face? Disturbing!

Whoa.

Nightkin aren't new Brad, they've been around since the original games.

Raged 2 times in this podcast-  
 
1.  Achievements actually cause people to not want to play older games.  What the fuck.
2.  There are bitches and whores that will brush you off if you say you like videogames.  What the fuck.

Bombs away

Fuck yeah, Mario Paint Bundle!

Vinny: Poo Poo Pockets... smell my hand... 
 
GENIUS!

it must be tuesday night! time to get drunk with the bombcast!

Thank you bombcast, after a long day laughing my self silly to the funny things you talked about helps me feel better.

Ahh! Listing to the Bombcast on my new speakers; Brad almost destroyed them. Never mind the brown note guys; you can make Giantbomb's own version of a lady pleaser. 
 
I have the utmost respect for Ms. Caravella. 

Terrific! Take away more jobs from today's youth. Don't people realize the long term effects of hindering young people? If society doesn't take care of its own, they won't take care of society.
 
Matt Smith's reasoning is faulty: Movies were not called "Moving Pictures"; the term was, and still is, "Motion Pictures", as in: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences . Since it is still a title used by professionals in the industry, I fail to see how "Motion Picture" is archaic. Perhaps the epithet "Film" is outdated when applied to a motion picture not captured on celluloid. Shortening the appellation to "movies" does not change the meaning; it is merely convenient.
 
Coining the blend "Vames" is a waste of time as it does not conform to the English phonological constraints of what is pleasant to enounce (I can only explain this intuitively) i.e. it isn't as fun to say as "Movies". If "Video Games" is to be shortened to an acceptable colloquialism, it would probably be "V.G.", as in: "How many VGs do you play a week?" I personally have no problem with the term "Video Games" and wish to preserve it. I also abhor the facile discrimination video games face as the interactive entertainment industry is more lucrative then all others combined. I guess there are some people who fear leaving Plato's cave and mock a pastime which requires active participation instead of passive reception. Would people so easily dismiss chess or backgammon?

In addition to headshots, there should be crotchshots

Vinny, to have raised such an upstanding gentleman as yourself, YO MAMMA must be a wonderful woman.

I gotta say Ryan. I love your descriptions for these things.

Despite Ryan's hatred, here's one thing I can say about every Game Crazy I've gone into in comparison to every GameStop I've gone into: 
 
Game Crazy employees KNEW their games, and they sold their games for cheaper. 
 
Then again, the three Game Crazy stores that we had here all had my friends working at them, and they knew their shit, so it sucks seeing them all out of jobs.

RIP Gamecrazy.

Hey I love Giantbomb and have respect for all the guys but they really pissed me off about their little dis on Gamecrazy. I hung out at a gamecrazy by my highschool for years and worked their when I turned 18 and that store had the best gaming customer service I had ever seen. They only hired really nice, knowledgeable gamers (not sales people like Gamestop). We drew customers away from Gamestop Walmart and Bestbuy because we knew what we were talking about, genuinely helped people make good and informed purchases and even fixed consoles from time to time. Yes the look was old 90's but it had its charm and it didn't have the monopoly on all things pre-order like Gamestop, but for being a natinoal chain, it had the feel of an indie mom and pop store, at least mine did. A lot of great guys worked there, something I can't say for almost any Gamestop I have ever shopped in, and the highest priority was never to push useless crap onto people. So show some love and respect for the fallen Gamecrazy chain because now the alternatives become the know nothing meatheads at bestbuy or the stuck up condescending sales people at Gamestop.

Excellent way to end the day!

You are obscenely creepy. "

Vinny's mom likes Farmville? eeeeeew "

whenever I have rented DVD's recently there never new releases interestingly enough.

It was only a matter of time before Hollywood Video closed down. Red Boxes where mentioned being everywhere. We just had the third Red Box in town installed at the grocery I work at and it's right next door to a Movie Gallery. Surprised they aren't closed yet, since you can pick up a movie for a buck a night within 20-30 steps from the store.
