Giant Bombcast 11/05/2013: That's a Tuesday!

The Giant Bomb Gang reflects on its marathon livestreaming weekend while discussing deep Windjammers strats, Call of Duty For Ghosts, Kameo, that ill-advised pizza order, how to give candy to children, and a distinct lack of Diretide.

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

I'm also in med school and my first thought was diverticulitis, but what I've learned is that the first idea is usually too serious and often wrong, and the real explanation sometimes boils down to something idiopathic or psychogenic. Not always though, that's why it's important to be cautious.

Going to the doctor if pains persists is always a good idea, though.

I think you're thinking of a subheading. Though, it could also be a subtitle. (that's just a little confusing. heh) If there is some text attached to it next week, then I guess it'll be a new trend!

I still think it would have been way funnier if Brad nodded off 5 minutes into his stream and wakes up 5 minutes just before his day was over.

I am so FINISHED with Pizza Hut in San Francisco.
Every now and then I want Pizza hut again and I order it, then it takes an hour to get here and it sucks. Screw Pizza Hut in SF, it's terrible.

All this talk of McDonalds hamburgers. One of my friends came up with the idea of getting two double cheeseburgers with Big Mac sauce. Somehow this combo spread and enough people were ordering it that another friend who worked there said they had to start charging for Big Mac sauce as an addition.

Here's a link to the video that NBC aired.

Drew was a little off in the retelling, though, in that the one plane that took the brunt of the crash actually ignited and crashed, as you'll see in the video, but its pilot parachuted to safety. The other plane was damaged, but intact enough for the second pilot to actually land safely.

I am amazed and inspired at the herculean lengths Jeff will go to to get some pizza.

Jeff's trials - get a pizza from a neighboring.. err..what do they call them in California? It's not boroughs is it? Commune?

Petaluma's just a city. Unincorporated areas might be called towns, villages, or CDPs (Census Designated Place). However, if you're talking about areas in the city of San Francisco, I think they're districts (Castro or Mission) or neighborhoods (Haight-Ashbury, etc.) depending.

I'm SO fucking hyped for Super Motherload. For those that don't know, Motherload is a REALLY old flash game (like, maybe a decade old now) where you mine for minerals on Mars. Sounds boring, but the game has an end:

you fight Satan at the center of the planet.

You can still play it here from the creator's website: http://www.xgenstudios.com/play/motherload It's a lot of fun. Looking forward to the new one.

Windjammers is one of the many games you can play on GGPO.

Of course you should only download the ROM if you own the cart...

A particularly stealthy missile. I can't believe none of the guys really noticed when Drew said that.

2 reasons why I just signed up for a Giant bomb account.

1 - The guys mention the jerks who listen to the podcast but don't visit the site. (Don't worry, I'm here now)

2 - Brothers 2 Korean BBQ was mentioned. I live in the Bay Area and LOVE that spot!

No, you are absolutely right. I also experienced time warp.

Vinny is awesome as the shellshocked little girl.

Windjammers is featured on GGPO (look it up, if you're not familiar) if you're interested in some intense online play. But obviously you should only consider this if you own a legitimate Windjammers cart. ;)

Agreed. We hear your jokes Drew, even if they get lost in the conversation.

I'm glad this Drew joke is getting some recognition here. Those other losers on the Bombcast didn't even chuckle when he said it.

Wait Fuzion Frenzy sucks? No way. We gambled buying it and figured it would suck and we had a blast. I don't get how you can't have a blast playing it with friends. I'm guessing it doesn't hold up as well now, but in ~2004 it was fun!
