Giant Bombcast 07-02-2013

this is going to be awesome! arriba el bombcast!

A wild Drewbert appears!

Looking forward to listening to this during my workout tomorrow :)

DAT INTRO MUSIC!

After all these years Jeff still has no idea how to run a podcast and I love it.

The drink they were describing sounds like a variation on the classic Hot Tottie, which is a whiskey drink that people sometimes drink when they have a cold or sometimes give to kids.

DREW! Has there ever been a previous episode of Bombcast where he had guested in?

3 Men walk in.....DREW WALKS OUT WITHOUT HIS HAIR!

NUMBERS STATIONS ARE BACK EVERYONE

Yes! I was just thinking of the old theme earlier today!

I'm digging the retro music hard on the intro.

No Vinndog this week? :(

Ah yeh Drewcast!

Also: I am so, so, so, so, so sick of hearing about Dota. Every time I hear the discussion coming up my eyes just glaze over. Surely I'm not the only one.

If anyone wants to find that specific mask, search the webberwebs for Huracan Ramirez. Most beautiful luchador mask ever designed.

Wouldn't have it any other way.

Is it just me or is the sound a little off this week?

DREWWWWWWWW

D'awwww, talking bout Coonce.

Drew Scanlon??? MAN OF ACTION DREW SCANLON?!

BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) is on strike, thus Vincenzo is essentially stranded in the East Bay.

2 AND A HALF HOURS? Take it away and bring me back a 3 hour one! It must contain another 30 minutes of Drew!

Yes yes.

I never got lost in Last of Us, not even once. Guess I got a good sense of virtual direction.

BZZZZ.........BZZZZ.........BZZZZ.........

REMIX

This could be either a god-tier podcast because of Drew or a trainwreck because neither Brad nor Drew talk that much

Vinny status?

EDIT: Damn. DAT DREW, DOE.

DAT THROWBACK MUSIC

OG opening, daaaaamn.

Drew? DREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!

Drop that bomb Drew!

I love how Jeffcasts always feature the older music.... probably because he doesn't have access to the new music (which no doubt lives on Ryan's Macbook).

Drew!!

I think the drink they were making might have been makers, mint, lemon and ginger ale. I have something like that before. I'm probably totally wrong.

WHAT

Bombcast of the Year (BOTY)

You mean the RIGHT intro music!

Aw crap, that explains the absence of Rorie too. T_T

We'll just have to revel in the glory of Drew that much harder.

Now I know why Jeff let Brad talk about Dota 2. That's so he could justify talking about TrackMania later on in the podcast! It will be 2045, and an old and grey Jeff and Brad will sit drinking tea and talking about the good old days of Dota 2 and TrackMania.

My dawg Drew up in the BUILDING!!! MAD ILL! lol no but seriously, very awesome.

Man, based off of Brad's thoughts on the beginning of the Last of Us, I think he's really going to enjoy that game. Especially the symbolism of the character arcs and beginning and end of the game.

This is the best theme.

Brad is not going to finish The Last of Us on hard.

Drew and Numbers Station talk? Already my favorite of the year.

I just got the section where they're talking about separating work from home. I'm at home at quarter to midnight, working, and will be until probably 1:30 at least. Dammit.

I think they missed the point of The Last Of Us's open, sometimes directionless environments (apart from Jeff right at the end):

That it encourages you to treat combat scenarios with caution, because just like in "real life", you don't have perfect situational awareness, and you have to examine and explore the environment, which has the bonus effect of making you notice the dense and small details that Naughty Dog put in there.

Uncharted 3 was also a dense and visually detailed game, but the degree of streamlining in the level design meant you never had any reason or time to examine and explore, so the experience was less engrossing as a result.

Love the drew.

I haven't even listed to it yet but this is the best bombcast of '13.

I vote for Drew to permanently take over for Patrick's spot on the Bombcast.

I believe the DS game Jeff was trying to think of is Clubhouse Games.

This was quite alright. Jeff and Brad would've been great discussion, but Drew just makes this even more wonderful.

Starting with Cold War radio broadcasts? Oooooohh this is gonna be goooooooood.
