Giant Bombcast 09/02/2014

Join us as we mop up the last little bit of PAX Prime business before moving on to more pressing discussions about eating bugs, Sony's TGS news, Frasier Pinball, the marvels of food science, and how to survive the apocalypse.

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

I like how they called out Yakuza 0 and Dragon Quest Heroes from Sony's pre-TGS show yet there was no mention of Resident Evil: Revelations 2 :o

I mean, I understand more than anyone why the overall perception for this series is what it is after 2012, but... That is unless they mention it during the emails segment, as I admittedly haven't finished listening to the whole thing. EDIT: Ha, and so they do. Still, weird why it wouldn't be brought up during the actual TGS recap, especially since it was shown right before Yakuza 0.

I guess I can take the time to stop watching their Persona 4 endurance run for a new Bombcast! And only 2 hours? This should be called Bombcast-lite :P

Do people not have a 10 second skip button on their device of choice? Press it a few times and those rotten dastardly ads won't hurt you anymore.

I do love how Dan's unabashed optimism is clashing with Jeff's want to watch the world burn.

Will their PAX panel be archived later on GiantBomb? Or is it on Twitch somewhere?

cool that there is a premium version available that I could download, but I use an RSS feed for my device (BeyondPod on Android) which I'm sure will only get the full ad version. Not that I mind as I've never had a problem listening to the ads on the show as they are actually entertaining.

edit: missed the RSS option on the podcast... may have to see if it will let me add it somehow.

Today is the day i switch to the Premium bombcast. Haven't listened to the whole show yet, but the ad at the beginning of this one lacked the creativity or fun that the former small business man ones had.

Giant Bomb should hire Hambo. Also holy shit Dan is a borderline hedonist.

YOU HAVE COME TO A WORLD CALLED GOR *whipcrack*

Goreans are weird people who have some sort of male dominance thing, where the sentence "Earth girls have a reputation on Gor of being among the lowest and hottest of slaves" can be said in earnest. It's hilarious you should really look into it for larffs.

The amount of existential quotes in this week's Bombcast is staggering.

Don't worry duders, not everyone hates the ads. I know they help you out so ad away. If anything every truly gets me, (not likely) I will just skip over it like any sane person would.

Dan Ryckert worried that if he likes anime he'll lose control of his own free will and become a type of person he hates. He is literally a 14 year old boy.

The pink slime chicken nugget video is out of date now, McDonalds has put out a video since then showing how they're made and it looks nothing like the pink slime.

Count me among those who find the ads funny and are totally willing to listen to them if they help the site somehow.

totally, I don't see this premium version as a "plus", I miss out on the funny ads! "Premium" for me would have to be like an extra 20 mins or there was a "lets call Vinny" section.

I think that entire conversation revolving around "Metal Gear is Anime", eating bugs and Chicken Nuggets has helped me understand the inner workings of Dan Rykert's psyche a lot more, made even better by Brad's incredulity at it all and Jeff's desire to have the apocalypse happen.

Also Hambo is a true hero and is probably the perfect representation of Brad's approach to e-mail selection.

(I'm not going to lie, even if I thought this week's ads were a little less... creative than they usually are, a free box of food followed by me automatically cancelling the auto-renew sounds more relevant to my young demographic than easy website building tools)

" I think I had fun." Hesitant voice trying to invoke memories. Jeff rocks.

And I will definetly will listen to this tomorrow, I'll clean the house or something for a contextual reason. To me, hearing these guys is way more interesting than the Pax event itself.

Dan is a weird guy. I like him. And I like that he likes whatever weird shit he wants to. But the dismissive attitude with everything else is just... Strange... Like, it seems that he's just joking, but why?

If there was an apocalypse having Jeff, Drew and Hardcore Dave you could take over the new world and create a GB nation.

Also Brad is a decent host but someone else should pick the emails.

Yo @danryckert Im the same age as you and got into anime a few years back... Dont worry, you wont vanish in a flash and be replaced with a nerdier version of yourself =) I ended up being me, just I watch anime. Its possible to enjoy something without taking on a whole new identity. Unless its meth.

The web player is kind of bad.
