Giant Bomb 2013 Kickoff Spectacular Video Podcast

Great surprise thanks guys!

Happy New Year to all!

Starting the podcast with a discussion on corn Chex? This will be a good podcast.

Why does brad look like he is ready to get into drag?

Vinny looks weird without a beard.

He looks like...cancer.

Eventually this leads to no one going into work ever.

haha

Oh god, Ryan almost dying from the chair and Alex' "how's it going guys?" before getting hung up on. Lovin it haha.

Jeff and Ryan must be real good bros if Jeff was OK with Ryan rolling around in his bed.

Can I just have that gif of Brad without the video in front of it?  Thanks.

This video doesn't work for me.

This is the future of Giant Bomb, when it is all just based in Jeff's bedroom. Turn the closet into a green screen room, and they're set.

Brad with glasses reminds me of Greg Kasavin.

This reminds me of the first Arrow Pointing Down podcast for some reason.

what da shit !!! :)

Maybe I'm just a madman, but Brad when Brad came on with his glasses and hair shaved down I thought I was looking at Greg Kasavin for a sec.

More video podcasts!

oh god vinny looks younger then me

clean shaven Vinny looks like a baby

THERMWARE

he definitely looked a bit like kasavin. also he looked like he was wearing makeup.

whatever man, i won't judge.

Holy crap the background is annoying.

Hearing these guys shit all over Android every time mobile games show up in conversation makes the whole damn gang look super old and slow and backwards. Gaming on Android is a okay. Especially shitting on Android for Pinball Arcade, where the tables have been rolling out much earlier than any other platform and it plays superb, seems fucking insane.

Video Podcastin'

And they said they'd never do a video podcast.

Some of the expo podcasts have been video too.

This is awesome

Whenever Ryan talks about crappy Live events he sounds like a grumpy old man. 
 
Still, great podcast guys!  Loved all the GOTY videos! 

@Sunjammer: Word. It's painful. This group needs one Android fan to bring them back to Earth.

Love makeshift content. That is dedication right there.

Dammit, you are absolutely right.

Uh, could anyone else see Vinny's Skype handle when they called him?

I almost feared this was another pancake/chili day!

Clean shaven Vinny is slightly freaking me out, looks unnatural!

Great stuff, so glad I randomly checked the site at so late.

Wow, you're right. I can't not see it now.

I really like the concept page that this video is tagged against, and surprised it actually exists. I think this video will finally break the trend of poor sales during that time.

@Sunjammer: Could not disagree more about Android gaming. I'm pretty heavily invested in both iOS and Android, and the division in quality gaming experiences is immediately apparent. There are a couple of really specific exceptions to the rule, and but for the most part gaming on Android is still a piece of shit unless you're into emulation, clones, or months-old iOS releases.

Yeah I have a work provided iPhone but my personal phone is Android because that is what I prefer( my wife has an Andorid) and we have two Android tablets). Gaming on it is kind of poop because of the selection. That has been the one thing I dislike about Android.

Fucking Sparks is the fucking worst shit ever. "Hey do you want an instant hangover without any of the pleasurable parts of intoxication? Drink this liquid shit."

PODCAST LOCKED BEHIND A PAYWALL!?

I'M OUTTA HERE GUYS.

I always cut the corn off of the cob cause I'm weird.

What's a safeway?

Uh, has that CBS watermark always been there?

Is that a fucken Hard-Ons shirt Alex??? Nice.

In Japan I tried Sparx. Spelled with an X! I'm not sure if it's caffeinated but the TV commercial looks like this

so maybe it is. And of course since it's Japan, you can walk around outside drinking these and no one cares because it's legal there.

The situation here is dire. We're only a handful of survivors and we're running out of food and water. We're surrounded by, at least, a couple hundreds of... them. One of those things breached the walls yesterday. I don't know how much we'll be able to hold on here.

But, boy, sure am I glad that that nothing stops the Bombcast! Not even a zombie apocalypse. All those hours tinkering with a radio finally paid off for Vinny :)

Judging from the thumbnail alone this one is epic. Now I just have to start and finish playing Spec Ops: The Line so I can listen to the GOTY podcasts. Yes. I have a problem.

My name is Anders and I'm a giantbomb addict.

All the beards are gone. :(

So, am I the only one that read the title of this video and think this was some kind of kickstarter thing giantbomb was doing?

@cooljammer00 said:

I think the watermark is from the videos that they made for the game of the year stuff they overlay on the skype call

SO WHERE ARE YOU FROM

Yeah it's been quite the revelation. That's how I found out about things like this.
