Giant Bombcast 10-13-2009

Capcom's Adam Boyes and freelance troublemaker John Vignocchi join the crew for some rowdy, champagne-fueled shouting about the downfall of Midway, Demon's Souls, Forza 3, Chuck D, Brutal Legend, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and more in this week's Bombcast!

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

There should be a Mario voice contest on this site or something. I'd trump the majority of people on here...I think.

That "One game" on a deserted island thing? I feel its such a cliched question, but I think I've got a solid answer for that.
 
So defying all physics and stuff like that, this deserted island comes with electricity. So I could plug in a computer. With that computer, I can play one game on it...at a time. Aside from being able to download and install games on it, the computer could have the tools necessary to create games, right? So if the island doesnt come with an internet connection, I can make my own games. Should someone come along and pick me up, I could sell those game concepts, ideas or completed games and make some fat loot.
 
Also, I know Ryan doesnt want to do anime for TANG. I'm kind of bummed that Fatal Fury - Motion Picture wont be reviewed. But understandable.

 John Vinacci might be the greatest bombcast guest ever. Utterly hilarious bombcast beginning to end. Also respect points to Vinny for sticking with Demon's Souls and giving it credit where credit is due. Jeff saying he's not a patient person sheds some light on why he didn't click with the game, so I get that too. Carry on, gentlemen.

Bleh, not my kind of funny this week.  
 
The Gottlieb Collection is just as good as Williams from a physics standpoint, but no, the tables aren't quite up to snuff with Williams. Both Black Hole and Genie are really great though. 
 
Desert island video game would be either Civ 4 or Sims 3 I think.

Also I wanted to add that everyone answered the "best videogame ever, that you have on a island" wrong. If you're on a island, and you don't know for how long, you definitely definitely Definitely want it to be a mmo. Think about it. After you've finished all the content, after you've seen EVERYTHING you could possibly see, what's left for eternity? Gotta be a really good mmo with really good social networking put it place. Why? Because after you finish everything, you can still sit in town and be an elitest asshole and talk smack about everything that's wrong with the game. Or just pretend to be a girl and get attention that way. Or just social network normally, whatever. I don't think my point can be countered. MMO's that come to mind would be like World of Warcraft and Guildwars (easily), as well as stuff like Warhammer Online and Aion.

Wow.  Everybody was laughing real hard at everything everyone else was saying.  You guys don't smoke weed?  I'm not sure if I like it when the guests take over the show.  They're better in stand-alone video interviews.  The core elements of the show are too good mess with.

well it was certainly funnier than some recent ones.
 
Mad props to Johnny V for making an On The Spot name drop.

I love the Bombcast, but I have to agree with you. This guy was extremely annoying. I don't mind having guests on the show along with the regular crew, but when they take over the entire show and hardly let anyone else get a word in, it gets real tedious real fast, no matter if some of his stories are funny or not.
 
It sounded to me like Ryan was also getting pretty irrated by the end when he kept on derailing the topics at hand.
