Holy crap, I'm not the only South Dakotan listening to the Bombcast! What's up, Evan? South Dakota is the mouth Dakota!

Yeah, having two out of the three designers of Fallout 2 is totally minor.  You're a dope. "

Yes, I'm the dope. And Fallout 2 only had three people working on it. Right. You, sir, are brilliant. "

Four of the founders worked on Fallout 2, I'd say that's close enough. I doubt you'll find a larger concentration of Fallout developers anywhere else. But yes, speaking totally literally, it's not "the team." Those guys did totally make Fallout 2, though! "

Is rental stores different in the US than they are in Canada? I know Rogers Video is highly used in BC here by Tons of people.

DUN....DUNDUN. 

This Bombcast has a good earfeel.

" @Ryan:  sorry. I certainly didn't mean any harm by my part of the comment string. I think its neat that his mom has a facebook. I can see though where a person could be worried that the internet being aware of someones mom will inevitably lead to someone doing something mean. I certainly wouldn't have googled to try to find anyone's loved ones. Is there a way to set facebook accounts so that they don't show up publicly like that at all? "

Man up Brad - you don't need Jeff's approval for liking to play games at night in the dark. Not everything he says has to be taken as gospel. He is wrong in that instance. Scary games are best played at night for added atmosphere.

The legacy of Wheelman lives on!
 
"The world is full of buyers..."

I wax my skills all the time.

whoa whoa, what "Adam" where they talking about near the end? Adam Boyze? Capcom's Adam Boyze? It seemed they meant he's no longer at Capcom? that fucking blows :(

 Anybody else find Brad's referencing the "videogame-related brush-off" really interesting? I kind of always wondered how the guys dealt with the way a lot of the public views their job.    

I like the internet's name for video games: vidya!

Those guys who checks games for resolutions and framerates, what was the name again? I'm really interested in looking them up. Please contact me with the name. 
 
Thank you. :)

Facebook search privacy: Privacy settings>search>only friends.   Other search engines: Uncheck the 'public search' box.  "

I can now firmly blaim the bombcast for my poor performance on Wednesday tests. Instead of going to bed early last night, I stayed up till 11 to download this and then 1 to listen to it.
 
Whatever, totally worth it!

Picross..Picross never changes.

Vinny: You can actually mute everyone. Just go to the options menu. It´s the way to go if you don´t play with friends (for that case, there´s the option "team and party" for voice).

It really irked me that Jeff seemed to think the Halo crowd is the worst community on xbox live when I've had just a bad time, if not worse, with Modern Warfare 2. I think both crowds are absolutely ridiculous and filled with idiots. The only difference is with MW2 you get a lot more idiots with obnoxious pot references in their names.
 
Vinny, I like you a lot but if you weren't defending a flag it would irritate me as well. To be fair, I probably wouldn't bitch at you and people who do so are ridiculous, but if you were just running around trying to kill I don't blame others for being irritated...

Awwwwhhhh yeah! Nothing like listening to The Bombcast and playing some Arkham Asylum!

Sweet....St Catharines, Ontario is listening

When I see Mickey Rourke's face I get a craving for burgers.

 Playing the Vidya is becoming pretty common.

I believe the word you were looking for was antiquated, not "anticated," Ryan.

Video games can be called "blips", especially if said in a heavy Cockney accent.

Im actually pretty disappointed someone would take Ryan and Vinny's banter and go as far as looking up personal information of family members of the GB crew.  Is someone seriously that desperate for attention?  
 
Whatever, good bombcast as usual!  Tomorrow I will have a whopper in celebration.

Haven't listened to this episode just yet, but I just thought of something.
 
If you used this as a "song" for Beat Hazard (or AudioSurf), you'd be one hardcore motherfucker. I'm tempted to do so, but I'd rather not blow 2+ hours. Or worse, get an hour into it and fail.

Wii ware is officially my favourite feature in any podcast.

Jeff complains that Conviction didn't make him use all the gadgets at his disposal, yet he complains that he died over and over again at the part where you are supposed to use a gadget to get through easily.  The proverbial journalist who is bad at games rears its ugly head once again.
 
Good podcast nonetheless.

could someone pm me that site that chekcs videogame resolutions

MUTE THE FUCKERS!!!!! It really isn't that hard, you just go down and click on the name and there ya go, muted. I have a friend that refuses to mute the people in MW2 and idk why. It's not that hard to just mute people and play the game. Especially if your playing with friends. Just talk to your friends and then its fun. End of story.

so..... vinny's mom?

Ahhh! The BOMBCAST!

smell my hand

The Capt. Price thing, oh Jeff, "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." was great.
 
That was a good Bombcast.

I hope they film Brad some this week.

Jeff, you're a dick.  Teens are in desperate need of more jobs that don't suck.
