I listened to the podcast not knowing there would be video. Why even post this video feed? You think this is funny? Why would you put this here? Why would you put this here?! WHY WOULD YOU PUT THIS HERE?! YOU MONSTERS!

The background images were funny for about half a minute, then got really fucking distracting and made it near unwatchable for me. Almost made me ill trying to watch with random periphery motion in the background. Think I'm going to listen to this.

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?

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

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.

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 :)

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.

@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.

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.
