Giant Bombcast 07-19-2011

Ryan reinvents the remix as we discuss Doom 3, Garcia Hotspur's Pepsi endorsement, socks and pillows, public pools and gas station bathrooms, and, of course, Bastion.

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

Purple smurfs. They run around saying "G'NAP" and biting regular smurfs' tails which turns that smurf into a purple smurf. 
 
...smurf.

Don't know if anybody cares but the guys were wrong about Doom 2 being an arcade machine. 
I only saw it once about 15 years ago in Ireland but it does exist. 
I don't know if the maps are different but one change was that your health constantly decreased so you always had to be on the move to find health packs.

To be fair Red Skull got kicked out of the Nazi club for being too evil.  That's right.  Hydra is the MORE evil Nazis.

    Ryan... You need a friend to hook you up to an I.V. after a night of drinking...? The first step is admitting you have a problem... Sounds like "alcove" + "hall" and rhymes with "schism"... (Holy shit!)

    Awesome Bombcast. Vinny is right about people living beyond their means, no matter how much money they have; not worrying about rent and food is absolutely my current goal. Maybe most people aspire to own a house as if it were beating the last stage of a video game and the summum of a life's work, but as for me, I don't want to own anything I can't carry: travel light, travel fast!

    As for Gross Point Blank: Dan Akroyd says "popcorn" for no good reason before killing someone... That's the brass ring they were reaching for, I guess...

    @JP_Russell: Hmmm... a quick goggle makes me worried I might be mistaking this for Quake but I'm pretty sure I'm not. It 's dated 1998 and I left Ireland in 1996.
     This could be my chance to change internet history.  
    I'm off to get some old friends to agree they saw it too.
    That should settle things.

    Wasn't there that theory that The Smurfs were actually some kind of cartoony version of Nazi idiology? That's kinda fitting...

    Heh, I never heard about that. That theory seems a little far fetched though.

    Well, seeing as Gargamel is portrayed as the stereotypical negative image of a Jew (of that timeperiod) and his cat is named Azrael, I'd say it 's not so far fetched at all.

    I sorta understand why they like Bastion, but I found if fairly boring with not too much new and interesting to offer :/ Yeah the art is pretty good and there is some dude that talks about what you are doing when you do it (which isnt really that big of a deal), but actually playing the game and the story and what it actually has to offer is just sorta boring and same old same old to me.
