Giant Bombcast 07-17-2008: Electronic Three Edition

We close the books on E3 2008 with our thoughts on Red Alert 3, The Agency, Left 4 Dead, The Force Unleashed, Saint’s Row 2, and much more!

The Giant Bombcast is the world's most beloved video game podcast, and now it's available in video form.

If you're using Internet Explorer try Firefox or Opera - for me it worked with Opera; there are still bugs on the site, but they will be fixed in time. And yeah, great episode guys.

I know its early but will there be a video cast sorter like on the spot or bonus round or gt tv, obviously not the same but would be awesome if you made one with all your own features.

Nice looking site guys! Shame a few bugs in the system means I can't hear the latest Bombcast. Oh well I'll grab it later when it gets sorted.

LONG Episode is long.

But it was still fun, although E3 was a bit less of a show this year :(

Good podcast, listened to it on the old site.

However, the RSS / Download / Subscribe buttons don't actually work.

I think you're still missing a few older Arrow Pointing Down episodes aren't you?
The one where Jeff video conferenced via PSP with Ryan?

i like the site. looking forward to the download button being fixed.
also, it would be swell if you guys could put the size of the file and the length of the podcast. my internet connection is disrupted sometimes and the download will stop. i would be able to check and make sure i got the whole thing that way rather than having to dig into the actual file to listen for the ending theme.
i can't be the only person that has the problem, can i?
other than that, keep up the good work.

Ahh he's just resting his throat from all the talking he's been doing. A finely tuned larynx like that must certainlly need it.

Sweet ass show, you guys have had a killer t'weeks lol. Given that fact and the all the evidence I see before me on the site you guys deserve masses of praise for your efforts....Thanks guys, all of you, the place has clearly been built on the very strong foundation it needs, the love of videogames.

To follow up with undeadbabies MP3 link -- just change the date on the end to access the other podcasts as well.  I imagine they'll get the button links worked out soon.

*faceslap* wow the giant bombcrew needs to go shove their heads up their own butts, cause that is how ignorant they are to Warhammer as a franchise. While speaking about Warhammer 40k Dawn of War, they compare it to Starcraft like it is copying it ("Tyranids are basically zerg, instead of Protoss they call them Eldar") when it is 100% the fucking opposite.

Blizzard full tilt copied the Warhammer 40k mythology for Starcraft, and hell even Warcraft. I mean god love'em because Gamesworkshop wasn't getting the job done in the mid 90s, but to talk about Warhammer 40k like its some Jonnie come lately is an Abomination! Bard seemed to have a slight understanding of where the franchises are coming from but he didn't correct anyone, understandable since he had only been on the show for a month or so.

Interesting to hear how little they knew of FEAR, one of my favorite games of the time.

Sleepy Brad

@Cashprizes I wouldn't take it so seriously, though I did notice to that as well. They may have been doing it as a joke, especially since Vinny is a 40k fan.
