Bombcast Breakdown!! - 7.16.2008 - #25

 Because two exclamation marks means you're super serial about it! 
I have this weird goal of going through each show and taking copious notes, as this whole college thing has taught me.   You can find all of the previous entries via my blog, the Bombcast forum, or simply by searching up top.  Whenever there is pertinent discussion on a given topic/game/person, I'll do my best to link that individual Breakdown to that particular page.
 
This is a fluid list.  Beta as its popular to be known as.  Things are going to be dynamic, pertaining to formatting and such, until I get a feel for how things are going to turn out.  Categories may be added, renamed, or simply taken away on 'cast to 'cast basis. Let me know if you see something wrong!  This is as much mine as it is yours!  
 

Legend:   

  • Voices - obvious enough, who's in the podcast
  • Reviewed - initially going to be reserved for the taste testing they did early on in the series, will see how things turn out later when they start phasing it out 
  • Movies mentioned - despite being a videogame-centric podcast, these guys have some serious debates on movies and people/ideas pertaining to them
  • Games mentioned - games/game series mentioned on the 'cast.  Listed if the game has some type of discussion or context behind it, not simply if name dropped
  • Names dropped - much like the games mentioned, people mentioned if it pertains to the 'cast
  • Out of context quotes - the tiny crazy bits we all love our boys saying.  taken directly out of context makes it even more hilarious
  • Timestamps-the parts of the 'cast that are fairly easy to distinguish with Ryans segway ability.  Oft times these will seamless lead into a bigger discussion on the topic
  • Definitive quotes - the bits where they're all business, and give their honest opinion/prediction on a topic. If you were to jump to a time in the 'cast, these would be it
  • General notes - ideas I've garnered from the crew during the 'cast
  • ******* - multiple astricks denote a few minutes of the 'cast you'd do well listening to, if for nothing else than the hilarity/gravitas of it all     
  • 1+ - denotes where they talk about a certain topic for more than a minute, instead of simply dropping the name in there for no discussion.

See? "You're the best man, you deed it."
 
Sterling work as usual, sir, and bonus points for the extra slog the Electronic Three can turn it into. Man, there was a lot going on at that E3, huh? What do we got in 2010? A bunch of motion controls. Oh, well I guess there was that handheld I'm kinda excited about, too.

This is awesome! GB should incorporate this into their podcast page. Sometimes I hear a game mentioned and make a mental note about having to check it out. Afterward I forget the name of it and have to listen again to remember it but it's hard to find it. This is a great resource for those moments. 
 
Great  work Matthew!

@Matthew: He means do you document tales and anecdotes from the hosts that have been discussed in multiple casts.

@Matthew: I did a breakdown esque thing for every episode of TalkRadar for the TalkRadar Wiki. Unfortunately, when I was done listening from 1 all the way to present, I never thought to keep track of popular games getting mentioned multiple times, background music, and refilling extra time stamps, and other things. The only problem is if I did relisten it would take a full 8 days straight of podcasts. 
 
The main benefit of doing a breakdown recapping all the stories and timestamps is it significantly cuts down on forums threads about what episode was this story in.

@TURbo: Exactly.  If you check out the blog version of this, you can see I link every topic thats discussed in depth (everything with a +1 next to it) to that corresponding page.   
 
So if you were to check out the Champions Online page, you would see this topic linked there.  Ditto for the Ubisoft page. So if there's a topic you're wondering if the guys ever really covered, you can just search the topic/game/company/person/etc., see the linked Breakdown there, click it, and look for where it's mentioned in the 'cast, skip ahead to it, and listen away.
