Giant Bombcast 08/19/2014

With Dan out at SummerSlam, Matt Rorie joins us to... have a lengthy conversation about professional wrestling, not to mention discussions of platform exclusivity, the Gamescom meat grinder, John Romero's return to shooters, and how to protect your virtual property with a car battery.

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

I remember the last time I tried to get back into wrestling, I don't know what prompted it, but I decided to watch the Raw episode that night. They had this wrestler named "Eugene" on and was absolutely disgusted with his gimmick, and have never watched wrestling since.

I did play some WWF No Mercy last week and had some fun with that, however.

You can't just say shit like that and not explain it.

I mean, what, are you like locked in a trunk somewhere and they left you an ipad with wifi in there, but it has no speakers?! :P

Same here, although mine are time zone related / bed / work... well, maybe not 15 hours, I'll listen to this while I'm working :)

@injectablemarijuana: Jeff usually delivers a good dose of man child himself most weeks lol. But you're right, Dan is the best man child.

Man, you just missed out on the Katie Vick stuff. After that the mentally handicapped nephew of Eric Bischoff wasn't all that bad.

Feel you Jeff on the Indian food mishap. My only trustworthy Indian food joint is gone. I am lost in a sea of shit Thai food and generic American Chinese food.

Although if you find yourself traveling to Cape Cod, stop by Krua Thai in Wareham for the wings. Best wings in Massachusetts. Beats places that just serve wings. Fuck I'm going to order some now.

@damswedon: Now that I've thought on it a bit more, what prompted my return might have been clouded memories of Stone Cold and Booker T fighting in some grocery store?

But that, that, I'm glad I missed.

These have been getting back to their long, hilarious best since Dan joined. A great catalyst for the rest and a funny guy in his own right.

Surprisingly good hosting from Brad too. The responsibility seems to have energised him.

I tried several times now but as a non-US citizen I just can't get into the lengthy conversations about wrestling. It sounds so much like soap operas. :-/

Security is the thing behind special memorycards for the Vita, also see PSP piracy what that did to sales and earnings. How is the 3DS doing?

Steering wheels and other accessories require a special security chip to work with the PS4 for this same reason, security. It's the luxury the PS4 has over PC, no hackers ruining every single game, and I hope it stays that tight and secure.

@m3rlin: Just do what I did and start watching wrestling. It pretty much is a soap opera with fighting and cool stunts, it's great
