With Jeff out of town we get a chance to savor topics including Beyond: Two Souls, the PS4, The Stanley Parable, and our legitimate concerns about the Holodeck. It's the most grande Bombcast ever!

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

W-was that Brad at the beginning, doing the plug? Shit, I don't think I've ever heard him that enthusiastic.

Brad missed a star career in advertisement.

Went to listen to the normal one heard 2 seconds of adverts and switched to this one XD thanks guys (i do not mind adverts but if I can get this version I will listen to this version) Also loving the start and the music XD

I dunno hearing Brad being all enthusiastic about building websites makes me smile in a 'you don't mean any of this shit' sort of way. Though I completely agree with you on that it's great of them to have the non-ad version as well.

I don't understand how Patrick can logically justify buying a new iPad, but not a new console. I mean, a new tablet just runs the old shit a bit faster, it doesn't do anything the other one couldn't.

The same could be said about PCs and I would still rather upgrade my PC than get any of the consoles this year and probably next year. He even said that he would rather get a new graphic card instead of X1/PS4 if he didn't felt that he had to because of his job.

Also don't knock tablets. There are great to have especially if you have a girlfriend/wife.

Brad laughing during the translation segment, then Vinny translating the laughter to "el hahahahahaha" was incredible. That whole translation bit was comedy gold, just a cascade of jokes, all right on point. VinnCo success.

ok....so at 1:49:00 Patrick is talking about the abrupt ending to the incompletely funded game...it just ends unexpectedly.

then Brad pipes in at 1:49:13 with, and I paraphrase "my understanding is that it was supposed to be a much longer game"

heh...well, yeah.

The "weightless" thing in space is actually nothing to do with lack of gravitational field strength and therefore weight. It is actually due to being in free fall. As in you moving toward the earth or other body of mass, but usually with a sideways velocity large enough to counteract it, so your effectively falling.

I guess that's technically correct but free-fall with no not-also-falling frame of reference is literally indistinguishable to no gravity to the person experiencing it.

I have been spoilt with the last three weeks of early bomb casts lol. Their are some big new releases this week though so that's probably why.

Vinny is a helluva host. Jeff is great, but I love when Vinny subs in sometimes. It's so good. The editing, everything. Awesome change of pace and had me laughing the whole time.

This was one of the best bombcasts in a long while. I'd never considered that Vinny would bring the same greatness to audio production as he does video.

Squirrel + Jerky = Squerky. This seems much safer/more pleasant than Raccoon Jerky as Squirrels eat nuts n shit. Raccoons will eat goddamn anything. Ugh.
