Giant Bombcast 06-14-2011

As if you didn't get enough Giant Bomb podcasting action last week, this week our E3 2011 PTSD is compounded by the release of Duke Nukem Forever, which, it turns out, is an actual game. Sorta. You know what? You should probably just listen.

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

Over two hours for post-E3 podcast after what feels like 200 hours of streaming?

To me, Half-Life 2 was way boring than DNF, and so is modern warfare 2. I'm such a rebel >:P

Great Duke impressions! :) As much as I (as one of the few) personally enjoyed playing through DNF, I can't imagine to play a modern sequel or addon of it either. But who knows.. in 6-7 years I would probably be ready to play another one.;)

I love it when Vinny shows off his excellent improv and acting skills. Seriously, Vinny is actually pretty good at that.

I love how all of Jeff's Duke impressions are a million times more funny than anything Duke Nukem Forever has. May I make a request that Jeff speaks like that all the time?

Jeez, Brad and Ryan really don't understand HDMI standards, do they?

Vinny should have took the bet. Hell, there have already been third party dongles for the Wii that give you HDMI out as it is.

I wanna see a whole Naruto game made in the Infamous engine or style. At least try to copy it a little, (leap around the town, use different super powers), just sick of Naruto fighting games I will never play..... I know some of the games had him run around the village ro something ,but the whole games weren't that....

Haha, I love that Jeff has a serious case of Duke-osis after playing through Duke Nukem Forever. That's why it took them so long, mental conditioning.

Great Bombcast. I think if they make another Duke Nukem game, Duke should be transfarred out of the game into the real world where he has trouble adjusting e.g. instead of saying: "Balls of steel", Duke would say: "Why won't these girls blow me?" or "These pigs aren't pigs...". Not knowing what to do with him, the government sends him to Libya to kill Mommar Khaddafi.

The Wii U was announced way to early, Nintendo dropped the ball.

There are only about 3 good jokes in Duke nukem forever and Jeff gave them all away in the first 25 minutes of this podcast. So skip to 21.55 if you want to avoid DKF joke spoilers.

There are already images of the Wii U with an HDMI outlet built into the system.

Brad is probably thinking about spec and certification. Anyone can make the cables and devices that facilitate the connection, they don't have to be put in front of any group before they can be manufactured or anything. But to get that HDMI stamp of approval on it, it has to meet certain requirements is all.

A proprietary port that allows for an extension that then allows for HDMI like Vinny mentioned totally happens. It's one of the main selling points for the iPad 2.

No Caption Provided

The fact they aren't aware of the existence of mini HDMI ports yet are so insistent toward Vinny of how wrong he is is a little befuddling.

Duke Nukem's one big troll. Seeing the guys getting heated about it is kinda funny on its own.

Just FYI, the story points imported into Infamous 2 affect the dead drops and at least 1 side mission.
