Giant Bombcast 08-11-2009

This week we welcome arcade enthusiast and friend of Giant Bomb Jared Rea to the table for conversation about EVO cliques, Korean rhythm games, Guitar Hero 5, Spielberg's Halo, 50 Cent in Modern Warfare 2, Michael Cera in everything, and more!

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

lol didn't say new by the bombcast tab DOOHH!
 
another two hours well wasted, and btw if you guys feel the need to wrap up a bombcast at 2 hours for some odd reason you can suppress those urges.

Yeah, Jared did say "like" a lot, but I really enjoyed his presence on this episode.  Great choice, Bombcast crew.  :)

God Hand was a sort of modern brawler, and I really liked it but I guess even then it was pretty divisive.

I didn't care for a single thing that was discussed for the first 28 minutes. Not one thing. Okay, talk about the Street Fighter tournament, talk about the arcade games, I understand that there are people who are way into those things, but there are also people who don't give two shits in a biscuit about it, and yammering on for 10+ minutes about such subjects is dryer than burnt toast. "
Pro-Tip:  Just fast-forward through it.   

Like you said there are people who are interested in the subject such as myself so it was nice to hear it in this week's Bombcast.  Sometimes I don't give "two shits in a biscuit" of some things that they talk about in other episodes so I just Fast Forward through it.

So because you don't care about it, they shouldn't talk about it? 
 
How about no?. Some of us don't care about whatever you'd rather have them talking about.  
 
It's about balance, don't wanna listen to people talking about Street Fighter? Skip it. It's a podtcast, they talk about a huge range of topics, not just "What Deusoma cares about"

The brawler evolution conversation missed out on Warriors which I'm playing through again. Ninja Gaiden is too complicated to count as mere brawler IMO. 
 
Edit: Not that it isn't an outstanding one of a kind game.

If you want a wrestling game where you have to put on a show...play some damn Fire Pro Wrestling, 2.9 counts are one of the many keys...planned back and forth morale too, it's only in certain FP games.
 
The AKI games are fucking amazing though, and damnit, i am not a bad person for that!

@The_A_Drain:

If you were forced to talk into a recording mic for a 2 hour's of every week, I'd hazard a guess that you would have some conversation's that your listener's would get bored of. REAL FAST, REAL SOON. 
 
And btw, the reason that the bombcast is so popular is becuase the guy's down at giantbomb talk about what THEY want to talk about and we listen FOR FREE. (Plain and simple.)
If this was paid for then I could understand your desire to expect more for your money, but again, this's free. So deal with it. 
Everybody else like's it. If you want to bitch about everything under the sun then go to Gamespot or IGN, where you get thanked for bitching about thing's for which nobody care's.

I imagined Jeff saying "One out of five" showing is hand with the index finger when saying "one" and then the whole five fingers up when saying "five" and thinking that it was not exactly the right moment to say "guess which one".


It'd have been a great joke. You're free to use it (if you're reading this, Jeff).

There was a noticable decrease in sound quality this week though. But it was still perfectly listenable

The best joke goes to the talk about Ice-T and 50 Cent in Modern Warfare 2. 
"I'm gonna rape that guy!" 
I'm gonna rape his skull!"
