We wrap up our business in Tokyo with talk of cosplayers, Kingdom Hearts, more terrible Swedish candy, capsule toys, and more.

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

That candy tasting may have been the funniest thing in Bombcast history.

You are very good at advertising. When you tested Djungel Vrål I went and bought that and now I have to buy Turkisk Peber. The factory is only a few kilometers from where I live. You are way too sensetive =P We also enjoy sweat candy, but sour candy is quite popular.

You should try more Japanese candy since you are in Japan. They have wasabi candy which you'll probably find to be worse than djungel vrål =)

I've been loving the Tokyo Bombcasts, fellas. I've been listening to them over the weekend as I've been preparing for a gnarly Accounting test I have tomorrow night. Thanks for helping me pull through the study sessions. Keep up the good work.

I'm from Denmark, and that candy is from Denmark =)
It means Turkish Pepper. And i love it.

Here you go... take a bag of it, crush it finely, put in a bottle of vodka, let it be for about 2 days, and every now and then shake the bottle up, after that, filter the liquid out, and drink it.
Thats a classic Danish drink.

Come on! Tyrkisk Peber is awesome. It's also awesome to mix with vodka and let it disolve, makes for some awesome shots. On the other hand i also like Djungelvrål.

These bombcasts make me want to go Japan. I finally get why everyone loves it. It's just so fucking weird, it'd be crazy to see all these people. An entire section of the city devoted to nerdy stuff just amazes me. I really want to go to Tokyo now.

I believe the candy in question was invented by a Dane, but it's now made by Fazer, which is finnish. The candy is popular in all of Scandinavia, they even made an ice cream... which coincidentally is the worst I've ever had.

It's not that our taste buds are broken, they are just better and more used to stronger stuff. Our day begins with downing some Absolut  and a bag of Tyrkisk Peber  ;)

You should try out "Simply Apple" apple juice, sold by the 'Simply Orange Juice Company' (http://www.simplyorangejuice.com/).


(Their other juices are pretty darn good as well.)

Turkish Pepper is infact danish, and it's awesome!

That is not Swedish candy!! Argh!

It is in fact Danish, when did you ever see the Swedish use a b instead of two P's?

Thats right, never!

And that candy is in fact awesome in every single way.

(And just for the record, I'm not Swedish nor am I Danish.) :P

Oh ahahah love the reaction. :D "tastes like genocide" :P

I just finished listening to the 'Tokyo Bombcast Series' and I think you guys stumbled upon something.

The improv a capella trance music needs to be remixed and used as the show's theme. It's stunningly perfect.

Any chances of a Wednesday podcast...? Yeah I didn't think so, but here's hoping. All those podcasts in a row have spoiled me rotten.
