What the fuck bombcast, I am dissapoint.

How the fuck is UC3 airplane level so revolutionary with trucks chasing a plane? This was done as far back as the original UT, also done in numerous HL1 mods.

Brad has a hard time being objective. 
 
Seeing the uncharted 3 quick look and the journey quick look, he is a tool. 
 
I mean come an, moving multiplayer maps, its been there forever, im so dissapointed in the bombcast lack of knowledge. I mean come an, moving mp maps have been here forever. Fuck it. And stop making brad do quick looks. He is terrible, and doesnt understand half of the things going on. 
 
Brad is awesome at interviews and stuff like that, seeing him play games just makes me want to scream. Also he is so easily impressed.

Yeah, he's clearly the tool here. Please stop with this shit and let your anger off elsewhere, dickhead.

Yea I thought the same thing. I would even say that Assault and stuff like that took it further than what UC3 is doing now, atleast from what I've seen.
I also played 4vs4vs4vs4 TDM in UT like 10 years ago.
 
I mean it's fine if it is in there, works and is fun to play, but it's nothing new.

Hey, thanks for reading my e-mail, guys!

I would consider making a US account to grab Trenched if it were more of an offline experience, but it seems like it'd be a whole lot better online, and when you factor in the cost of another Xbox Live Gold subscription, the notion becomes much less enticing.

Maybe I can wrangle some 48 hour free trials, or just get one month.

So Journey is basically Noby Noby Boy 2?

are you guys so thick in the head about journey that you can only ask stupid questions? that section of the podcast just shows why games journalism is being taken less and less serious everyday. i understand joking and having fun, but this is just depressing listening to people who call themselves somewhat professionals only ask stupid questions. grow up a little and try providing gamers with helpful information about games. thanks

i agree with omnilaw here. its the first time iv had a criticism about the site, love it. but the conversation about Journey wasnt good. i was surprised how reluctant Brad was to talk about it after he showed a great deal of interest in the quick look. if people want better report on this game i suggest they watch it.

I understand that the guys were just having fun, but what was with Brad having such a hard time describing Journey? I mean, any time there was a serious question from the guys, his response was usually vague, half-finished, and just added to the confusion.

You guys shitting on Brad during quick looks, fuck off. You try playing a new game and talking about it intelligently about it at the same time. It's fucking hard. Then to have the full knowledge that whatever you say is going to be put under a microscope and picked apart piece by piece by anonymous keyboard warriors. Brad is passionate about his opinions which is what makes him good at his job.

The guys put on a great show every week and still ppl find something to bitch about. That is seriously some sad shit.

I'm with you. Talking while playing games is hard, and I personally don't care how good or bad Brad is at playing videogames. To me he's just a likeable dude, and his reviews are fun to read.

you wouldn't think it'd be a problem given that the one goal in the game is getting to the mountain. good lord, lol.
