Giant Bombcast 08-05-2008

WOW...I was very sad to hear the way you guys brushed over Eden...Jeff said he played it for 25 minutes, Vinnie said that the sound track was EMO!!! WTF!!! EMO!!! Are you kidding me? Really, since when to EMO's listen to minimalist techno? And if you play the game for more the 25 minutes you'll find completely new game mechanics, before U guys start talking junk about games PLEASE play them for more than 25 minutes before making rash comments. Kinda disappointed with you're impressions of eden.

Ryan was deffinitly being an ass to Brad! Don't fight amongst each other guys. You are like family. The real enemy is without not within... Like Jack Thompson!

Next time try to keep it around an hour.

Yes a mention of Manitoba lol

Best Bombcast in a long time! And I agree with Jeff. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH A GLASS OF MILK!

Another great podcast.  The Hemp milk section might have been a little over long, but I was embarrassing myself by laughing out loud as I rode down the bike path like a crazy person.

I'm not sure what's up with all the Soul Calibur hate.  I mean if you want me to swallow the idea that there is actually a good Mortal Kombat game coming out, then I'll expect a little more leniency.   I defiantly agree with the assessment that it's a "dorm memory" throw back game, but what's wrong with that?  That's exactly why it's so great.  Get together with the old buddies.  Drink a few beers and let the uncanny valley creepiness of Ivy's Under clevage wash over you.

Game of the year? No.  But I was a little suprised at how much you guys disliked it.

Alright, I'm off to submit "under clevage" and "good dorm room memories game"  as concept pages.

i download bombcast and listen to them while im working, keep them coming!

 I drink a half gallon of good ol' fashoned vitimin d, whole milk a day. My favorite non caffinated beverage.

Great podcast as usual fellas. Nice to hear some more PC talk too. I'm really liking the chemistry now, you guys really sound like you've hit your stride. Cheers..anyway...onto Jeff's comment on Goldeneye in which caused me to reminice about the ol' college days and more specifially, Quake Team Fortress.

 While all the console peeps were tearing that up and it was fun, my choice of game was Quake Team Fortress (through Quakeworld), 2FORT non-stop all the time with auto cd play at the time with Offspring and whatever else I could dig up to listen to while playing. Great times and my first real multiplayer game that I fell in love with and really have been searching for ever since.  While many of my buddies would be playing Golden Eye, there were a ton of us that played Quake Team Fortress on campus, maybe even more. I remeber going over my buds apartment, they were all sitting around their 32 inch TV with four player split screen and I was like, man, "are you guys playing online or just local?" and they all looked at me like I was crazy :) .  It was definately a cool time chilling and drinking Natty Ice and Chesterfield and getting all torn up, but the game itself I could never really get into for a bunch of different reasons. 

At that same time as Goldeneye, with Quake, we were playing online with people all over the world, and in tournaments and clans..(circa 1998 for sure). Any of you play back in those days? The great part about Quake and whatever else on PC at the time was that it ran on everthing, not  even a TNT or Voodoo was required to enjoy Quake. Heck, I ran it on my 133 megahertz laptop with 32mb or ram and integrated video ram. With OpenGL, it ran great for the time and look great.  It's populartiy back then could be compared similarly to how Counterstrike took off later on, meaning, CS could be played on every machine out there and was a ton of fun, and ended up growing as one of the fasted communities around.  While I love CS and CS:S, the class based online multi like the newly Quake Wars and of the Course TF2 have always appealled to me more. 

On energy drinks....

Been drinking the Rockstar sugar free, absolutely addicted to it in the morning, no longer drink coffee. Good stuff, but in all honesty, I don't drink these things for flavor, just like when I drink Vodka, it's not for the taste, it's for the purpose....to wake a mofo up

Nice podcast...

FYI, Uruguay is not part of asia... I should know :P

I thought there used to be heat between Brad and Vinny but then I grew up and realised that they are friends and colleagues.

I would do terrible, terrible things to get a hug from Ryan, and I think that Brad might well be our messiah.
Also one thing I've noticed, Brad do you always wear the same top; the light blue flannal shirt with a white T-Shirt underneath? 

There always has been, cant count the times where i've seen/heard them two like that :/

But yeah they're fine really.

I guess we will see if the Ryan Brad beef is still going tonight

Anyone else sense the tension between Ryan and Brad?

you guys keep talking mess about Canada please it is making me laugh. man old bombcasts are awesome!

You're really not supposed to drink soy or hemp milk :P That stuff kinda tastes like shit if you drink it straight up. Same with normal milk, to be honest. Oat Milk tastes good with cereal. Hemp milk kinda tastes like shit whatever you do with it to be honest :P Pretty healthy though. Cow milk is generally baaad. When you're a kid and drink a lot of it, your body is acustomed to it, as people age and drink less and less milk, people often get real bad bowel issues when they pop a whole box of Ben & Jerry's or whatever. That's the lactose doin' ya wrooong.
 
If you want to drink cow milk and not get tummy issues, keep drinking it for ever.

You don't need to tell me that.

Went back to this podcast on a whim. Man, Jeff was an even crustier motherfucker back in the day. All that PixelJunk Eden and SoulCalibur hate (from a man who thinks Mortal Kombat is a good franchise no less).

--with an announcer that sounded like the Unreal guy.
