Was there a cut when they were talking about Mass Effect 3? Suddenly they're talking about Sim City 3.

Yes.

What was cut what was cut what was cut...etc.

Also, great Sylvester Stalone impression at 2:00:00 Geoffrey.

Does anyone notice the cutoff at about 1:53:00 during the Mass Effect discussion?

Edit: Looks like @Winsord and @Fistfulofmetal caught it as well

You didn't read the comments directly below yours.

Vinnie with a Billy Madison reference and nobody got it

"My fingers hurt."

Yo I would totes own a Police 911 arcade cabinet. I remember when it was supposed to come out for PS2 with the EYE.

If you make me cry laughing while playing tribes, its a good bombcast.

I seem to have noticed an interesting pattern - the less they talk about video games, the funnier the Bombcast is. I guess this is what the membership is for - to hear Jeff talk about bullshit on his Jarcast. Same goes for the Radio Show.

Also, I vote 'spiders are fucking rats, and vice versa' for quote of the week.

dag yo 3 hour cast!

I know Ryan had to work some data recovery magic to get this to work, so I'm glad to have it at all this week, but there's stuff missing at around 1:53:30. They go from talking about the ME3 ending, then the audio skips, and suddenly they're talking about Sim City.

phew, good to know i didnt just black out there and miss some podcast.

Dude I totally want to be a a level 4 super Sagan AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff's stories about his old apartment are BAD ASS.

If only we knew about how he got that name plaque from the former mayor of Petaluma...

If by bad ass you mean unethical, childish, and idiotic then yes, Jeff's stories about his old apartment are bad ass.

I don't think Jeff should go to jail for his yesteryear shenanigans but he should definitely be paying some kind of fine to compensate for all the property damage that he has done in the past.

Ryan is wrong, Vinny is right, the song goes: Come, my lady come come my lady, you're my butterfly, sugar, baby.

Sad to hear everyone is down on Mass Effect. I mean, yeah, that ending sucked, and a lot of ME3 was half-baked (war assets...) but I'm still on board for any story DLC they put out. And any other games they want to make. And... pretty much anything except the awful novels, I guess.

I just like that universe too much to let it die because they fucked it up, you know? It's like the opposite of how I feel about Star Wars these days. Except they didn't fuck it up quite as bad or as thoroughly as Lucas did, so it's not as hard to keep liking it.

Someone is way too invested in other peoples lives.

That record scratch scared the shit out of me.

This was a really, really great episode.

Whooooeeee!!

We have tons of Zep stuff at my work. Zep sinks and everything.

LAWFUL GOOD PALADIN.

FOX ONLY.

FINAL DESTINATION.

48 minutes in, already gonna say this is one of the best episodes in a loooong time.

@Xeirus: I understand that plenty of people around here, including you specifically, like to draw these arbitrary creepiness lines for seemingly no reason where one thing is acceptable but another thing is somehow weird and over the line, but the dude's general sentiment Isn't Wrong. Jeff's "shenanigans" may be amusing to listen to but they should hardly be glorified.

I think it's safe to say we all love the podcast and all, being one of the pieces of content that hasn't suffered in the CBSi move, but this line loses meaning when it's said by a half dozen people every single week. Not every bombcast can be "the best bombcast in ages," good as it is.

Anyone ever tell you you're a downer? Maybe get some meds for that...

@Marokai: Well here's my thought: no one here is 5 years old, they know right from wrong. No one is "glorifying" anything, it's a story, chill bro.

Also, people have been saying "This is the best bombcast ever" for YEARS, again, chill.

@Marokai said:

@Xeirus: When there's no one prinning about talking up how Jeff's occasionally juvenile behavior is "bad ass" then I'll believe that there's no immature people on this site. Find someone else to be dismissive of, mate. You're basically one rung on the ladder above telling people you dislike to go get laid.

The hell are you even talking about.... anyway

I work in finance and it's true... we don't fuck around!

I want to listen to this right now... but I am listening to The Divine Wings of Tragedy...

didn't even have to scroll through the comments to find what I was looking for....I love this community.

Whoa. Either that was just an exceptionally poor edit, or some horrifying technical snafu devoured a few minutes of the podcast.

I think Bioware totally deserves the shit they get for not taking your choices into account. I don't know what this "diamond" nonsense is supposed to excuse. They put themselves into that situation. This is 120% on them. Why could your entire crew die in the suicide mission?
 
That single decision they made is why 99% of your choices basically amount to whether you get the stunt-double of a previous character or the real thing.

It's pretty great when Jeff LOOSES IT when Vinny says Homefront

Ok I'm done.

@ThePickle said:

I just realized that if someone just started listening to the Bombcast with this episode, they would be confused as hell.

The same could be said about any episode.

But this one especially. It's like five minutes of sound effects and introductions.

I miss Brad but goddamit if Jeff's impression of him isnt hiiiiiiilarious. And its spot-on.

But really that's the perfect introduction. After that five minutes you will know if you will like this or not.

That Armand Assante impression is spot-on!

didnt notice there was a new episode out....and here i was waiting for something that already happened.

The back and forth at the end, where Jeff was playing the part of the undercover cop is golden. Let me tell you, from being on lot at concerts and festivals. Its that bad sometimes, i don't know how they catch anyone.

super sagan is a fucking rad idea

"I'm gonna stab you, girl! For what you did to me! No one should have to go through that!"

Funny bombcast though shame they couldn't get Dave to man the empty chair.

edit-Do love the fake radio call-in moments on the bombcasts. Also I like the original Total Recall not because it's a good sci-fi/action film but it's one of the better Mars themed films out there. Sad to hear the new one doesn't at least briefly visit Mars.

Listening to UVB-76 in the back ground of the episode.

Persona 3+4, you say? Uh... yes please. Yes yes yes yes yes.

Goddammit, I got a pounding headache from laughing so hard at Jeff's reaction to Homefront.

That was no missing data, friends - the Illuminati silenced Vinny. He knew too much, got too deep. UVB-76, it's all there.

The podcast should end like this every week: a fade-out of Jeff and Vinny thinking way too hard about some frivolous dilemma posed to them in an e-mail.

Ick Jeff's stories about his old apartment are just terrible, funny, but still.

It tastes like green!

Nice to have one last "Blaze Orange" of glory for the drink tests.
