Fuck the crying king

TUUUUESDAAAY!!

aw yess

Woohoo!

Man, I still have hours of E3 podcasts to get through.

Nice

Yes it's Tuesday and I love it!

ahh snap!!!

This is actually earlier than anticipated, considering your warning, Brad.

I still feel shitty and you all know why!

Yay!

Finally, some Clash Royale coverage.

It's a cold, rainy day and I have to go down and work at the beachfront.... but this makes it ok :)

Welcome back!

I'm always ready for Tuesdays. Even when The Truck delays them into Wednesdays.

Also, I feel like perhaps I'm in a weird bubble but I've never been bothered by Emoticons in the likes of Clash Royale and Hearthstone. I use the likes of "Good Luck," "Well Played," "Hello," "Good Game" when appropriate with the occasional variant thrown in. Sometimes other players will spam them but that never really irks me - if anything it's just distracting them. If it's happening constantly in Hearthstone I'll mute them purely for sound reasons, but I play Clash Royale on mute so that's not an issue.

How much of the podcast is on Clash Royale? Looking to skip the segment.

Always a good sign when a Bombcast is linked to the Pizza page!

@bricewgilbert: did you catch the e3 plague too?

It feels so good to be unaffected by scummy mobile games.

Are we singing the Ducktales theme?

@enragedstump: Every second of it.

@kill3rpastry: lol no. Just have felt like shit ever since that Austin leaving kicker at the end of E3.

We got into the studio and started recording earlier than I thought we might.

Dad hat.

@kill3rpastry: Oh for sure. It's just always tough when someone leaves. Especially relatively quickly.

Curved brim caps are already big in the UK right now thanks to Skepta and Yung Lean

@bricewgilbert: same.

Austin: you have a fan and supporter for life. I will follow you and your work wherever you go, but I'm going to miss you here.

I'm way into what Resident Evil 7 is, if the demo is any indication. That "rudimentary adventure game" stuff was what I loved about the earlier RE games.

Yeeees

Boy that RE7 talk was something else. I'm sure Dan was told the "demo" has nothing to do with the game itself except the atmosphere.

In the wake of the Mighty No. 9 release, I went back to Shovel Knight yesterday.

SHOVEL KNIGHT IS RAD.

I really hope Brad brings it to Supercell for that god-awful post about keeping emotes unmuted.

yay! it's here!

Jeff didn't mention the new Rhythm Heaven!? WTF!?
Nevermind, it's mentioned later..

Also @brad, @drewbert Nintendo's 2nd day of live streaming opened with an hour demo/interview with Niantic about Pokemon Go.

the emotes in mario golf for n64 are always going to be my favorite

Only mobile game I've played was Snake back in 2004.

Thank god the RE7 demo isn't representative of the final gameplay. I would have sighed myself into another dimension if it dropped survival horror to parade around in a P.T.-esque skin.

I was worried that Day 3 was going to take the place of our regularly scheduled Bombcast.

Megaman 4 is my favorite, X1 and 2 are awesome as well. Jeff you are excused.

How an American human can not know about Spaghettios w/Franks is beyond my comprehension.

Unless you play baseball a curved hat has never been cool

The U in Canal Plus is said like an "oo"!

@fram said:

Yeah, at some point Japanese platforming devs lost their damn minds (somewhere in the PS1 era), and thought that every action platformer had to be some time attack bullshit where everything needs to have a combo meter, and you have to finish the level in 2 minutes with max combo and take no hits to get the SSS rank, and also everything needs anime cutscenes. It's part of the reason that I kinda want to like Azure Striker Gunvolt (which is pretty much as good or better than Mighty No. 9), but even that game is a little much with the combo meters and expecting low clear times and finicky upgrade system.

Like, nah dawg, I just want a fun platformer that's kinda tough to play and has rad music and art and memorable bosses. Which Shovel Knight has in spades!

Still no E3 day three in this feed.

What was with that Resident Evil 7 talk? When they say things to the effect of "We've been hearing people say that demo was terrible" what are they using for their source? All I've been reading about RE7 is that it's being taken in an exciting new direction and people are digging it. I played the demo alone at night with the lights off and had a great time.

What is going on? The same kind of thing happened with the Sony press conference with the crew feeling that it was one of the worst press conferences in a long time, but the internet was in agreement that Sony killed it. Have they simply become that jaded?

Alright some updates about Death Stranding.

1) The Death Stranding teaser has nothing to do with Konami.

2) What was shown in the Death Stranding teaser will be in the final game.

Of course these things could change, but I'm willing to take Kojima's word on these particular statements.
