Giant Bombcast 12-02-2008

We recover from our tryptophan poisoning with discussions of the screechy announcer from You're In the Movies, Assassin's Creed 2, the future of Midway, Nathan Drake's chain wallet, the winner of our Gears of War 2 Zune contest, Anime Vice, and more!

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

Dec. 2 2008

Haha the Your in the Movies announcer parts are hilarious.

I was asking myself "anymore Xzibit?" and then Jeff totally asked the same question. I don't know what Brad is on about, Far Cry 2 was Fun from the start!

That Xbox live party still sounds like heaven.

I think he'll get Midway to make an mmorpg because even and EQ2 has made more than 150 million so you only really need a semi succesful mmorpg to make the money back. Then you slap on micro transactions like a trading card game which comes with loot cards so people spend $400 to try and get all the loot cards lol.

So MK vs DC Universe partnership between Midway and SOE lol.

I know Vinnie will probably never see this but if ya do...

I built an engineless powerless ball out of heavy body pieces, just a ball with a seat in the middle.
Jumped out, carried it too the edge of the ramp, jumped in and rolled to Trophy victory :)

Thank god I started a pizza cooking at the beginning of this cast.  You started getting all White Castle right before I pulled it out of the oven and was getting HUNGRY.  I could imagine what Vinny could cook up having you guys doing a video spoof of Harold and Kumar, and its you guys finding the Chic-fil-a instead.

I think you guys should get some more of your staff to do some reviews, kind of like what you did with Warhammer Online.  You guys are too busy and missing out on so many good games.

Dan Akroyd is a capitalist...but he's talking about spiritualism like a hippie. Capitalist, hippie, capitalist, hippie. You make up your mind, but I'm pretty sure we'll all agree that this almost seems like a joke:

sorry but, as much as i think the new banjo game was cool, ya know good graphics, great writing, but its not a platformer, and its missions are seriously lame. the humor isn't enough to keep me in. 

i think the original is a classic platform. an excellent game that was very well designed.
rare can suck a big one if that think it sucks. mario galaxy was amazing. this new banjo crapped on the old one and i disliked it.

you guys need to get some crystal head vodka as a drink taste test one day. im thinking about buying this for someone for christmas, maybe two, one for myself lol. the bottle looks kick ass, and the the vodka itself sounds excellent.

btw you guys did like play mirrors edge right, theres a lot of timing things in that game. 


uncharted 2 trailer is real-time, i thought that was pretty obvious the first time i saw it.

I need to work, gadurnit!  I've cleaned, flossed, defragged, and had a smoke.  Only the bombcast is missing from my procrastination routine!  At this rate the world will never have the priviledge of learning about the history of Scientology's anti-psychiatry bent.
