I don't know if it was intentional *with you guys being so damn crazy* but towards the end of the podcast at like 1:27:00 to like 1:27:50 there's a little hiccup in there where Jeff is talking about Castle-Castle-Castle Crashers. lmao. Again, it sounds pretty cool, but I'm not sure that's what you guys intended. It's those long Japanese nights, isn't it? Anyway, just bringing it to your guys' attention. Keep up the daily Bombcast bustin'! Loving it since I'm on break.

Preach on guys.  Some Japanese companies have lost it and not followed the innovations in gameplay and graphics.  Crappy controls should not be kept for the sake nostalgia.  Capcom maybe one of the only ones that are actually keeping up, with maybe RE5 being a exception (still doesnt control as well as a it could!).  But they got SF4 and it has great graphics unlike other companies who can't seem to use anything but polygons and textures, not incredible lighting or bumpmaps.  I just shake my head at Bayonetta.  Oh god...

Ryan: What do you call it?
Jeff: ...Tecmo.

One moment, I was like 'Oh, no new Bombcasts.' Now I'm like, 'Woah, too many bombcasts.'

Woah. And isn't that huge smouldering crater in Halo 3 the ruins of New Mombassa? Where the portal opens? I could be completeley misinformed.
Chances are, I probably am.

Why is Brad, one of the skinny guys, always the one complaining so much about being tired at trade shows?  I mean, wouldn't you think he would be in the best condition?  I always hear him moaning in the monotone voice that sometimes cracks about how tired he is.

Other than that, great coverage of TGS and awesome podcasts.  Thanks.

Indeed. It became a game he didn't like.

But also a game loved by a decent amount of people.

"I LIKE TO WATCH."

Jeff's bit about the fetishization is very true. "Like and subscribe, you guys!"
