Giant Bombcast Pre-E3 2012: The Sealed Envelope

We send a message to the future with our (now hilariously out-of-date) pre-show predictions, as well as the last of Jeff's Judges' Week secrets.

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

Universal ammo for Dead Space 3? No thanks, EA.

But it was kind of weird to hear Jeff sound opposed to changes to the Dead Space formula when he just blasted thru Dead Space 2 on Easy.

"This has to be a big year for the Vita."

Both completely accurate.

@FriendlyPhoenix: Well, not quite. Sony's electronics division, financial services, and good ole' games all seem to be more profitable for Sony than it's Pictures group. It's electronics division is bleeding, as is Sony Pictures, so the Playstation Brand does actually seem to be incredibly valuable for Sony right now, even if for no other reason than getting a solid piece of name-recognition in millions of people's homes.

I am half disappointed that this was not about Dave's GOTY sealed envelope.

Being someone that actually enjoys Pachter, he was a little unbearable during this. No one cares what NeoGAF thinks. You're on Giant Bomb, not GAF, so shut the fuck up about it.

I would just like to point out that technically Brad was the first person to wish Ryan a happy birthday on the air. Suck it Jeff Green.

The less Pachter on podcasts the better (yes I know it's a minority opinion but it's still the one I have) but other than that, the E3 episodes are always my favourite Bombcast episodes. Keep up the good work guys and try to sleep some!

Why does it matter? I'm ok with him giggling at the silly gamers on *insert hardcore community here*. They deserve to be taken completely not seriously.

So glad this wasn't just me. My player for Android, Doggcatcher, is set to download the 3 oldest podcasts I haven't listened to. Apparently there was some in May/April I hadn't marked as listened.. so when it updated this morning, it deleted my E3 ones and grabbed those. Pretty bummed about that, but I'll just have to listen to them over the web instead.

Yeah, large parts of the entire site did this last night, super weird. We've fixed it in most places, hoping to get podcast RSS sorted soon.

I loved Jeff's thoughts on BL2. It's basically shut up and take my money.

I would say Silent Hill still tries to be a horror game.
