Giant Bombcast 11/24/2015

The thing that I really dug about playing on a console compared to my PC was the immediate put the disc in and play the game logic. it's a pity Microsoft and Sony are on a mission to make the CONSOLES more like a PC. Pity :(

I'll buy SOCOM II HD for whatever amount Jeff. I'm sick of all the fast paced shooters of the last 10 years.

Ya know i had to come back and post here because Dan's weed story is one of the funniest and most ridiculous things I've ever heard on the Bombcast and would definitely be filed under "best of the year" material. Like what the FUCK?!?!?!? I've done weird dumb stuff like that too so I really related. It was an amazing story. I also love how the fake weed had a Sonic The hedgehog logo. That synth weed would have cured your anxiety alright. Cured it to the moon.

What is this car talk feature @unastrike mentioned with he and @jeff?

I was surprised to discover that I'm not the only Australian paramedic who listens to the Bombcast.

Classic Jeff touching things in his garage again, what a coincidence that those items just happen to get discussed on the podcast a few days later...

Jeff is engaged? When did this happen? How fucking awesome!

What? They talked about it pretty extensively and it is quite obvious only Brad is actually into it and even then not nearly as much as he thought so. I mean they did a couple podcasts where they talked quite a bit about it with the last podcast Jeff explaining some systems and Dan asking "Is this any fun". Then Jeff simply said no. They are clearly not as interested as you or your wife but there is by no means a lack of coverage. It is nice to go to a site that doesn't have its daily FO4 blog.

Little did Drew know that David Hayter was the EA Sports announcer.

Little late, but regarding Tom Nook being a crook, I recommend The Terrible Secret of Animal Crossing

I've never played Qix but their discussion reminded me of the awesomeness of Jezzball! Spent a lot of time playing that and Scorched Earth in my early computer lab days.

As for not playing the latest in the line of muliplayer shooters, I've been playing Halo Reach on and off since release. Only competitive online shooter that hooked me.

The Steam Machine and Steam Controller hate makes me sad. I got the Syber steam machine from the one-day black friday sale and I love it. It's just really nice to have a home console synced across with my PC. About a third of my games work and I'm very happy with it. The rest I can stream. I'm about to finish Talos Principle, and to me it has fulfilled the promise.

As for the controller, it's also been going great. Talos Principle is a first person game and it feels completely natural to play a 1st person game for me. The key was when they came up with the Mouse Like Joystick profile for the trackpad, which reports itself as a gamepad, but behaves like a mouse. Then it feels like a gamepad with boosted precision rather than a trackpad or a hobbled mouse. Once they did that it really felt like a great way to extend a PC into the living room. I've been playing Cities Skyline with it. Cities Skyline! I've become a fan.
