Really, Jeff? You hate Warhammer because of the way they spell words? Like how Mortal Kombat does it? Hypocrite much? The more Brad name-dropped Borderlands when talking about Dead Island, the less I wanted to play it.

To be fair Mortal Kombat's Ks for Cs words keep their pronunciation, but yeah; totally stupid.

And you should try Dead Island. I'm not really getting many Borderlands parallels; the combat is entirely different. I think Brad just meant the systems are similar, like the loot and quests. Though I did really enjoy Borderlands too :P.

Man some people in these comments take things too personal.

About the t-spinning thing; I'm not sure if I want to be this guy, but fuck it.

T-spinning just means you can spin T-shaped tetrominos into tight places (dirty!) and get bonus points. It's unrelated to another feature that Tetris Worlds introduced: Infinity. That's TTC's awful name for an infinite lock delay, meaning tetrominos don't lock into place if you keep spinning them.

T-spins are a nice extra feature that just rewards a rather complicated move which is much harder to set up and pull off than back-to-back "Tetris"es. Infinite lock delay is an awful feature that ruins Tetris. I don't think the latter is included in all new Tetris games and there are definitely ways to disable it in several games.

Best ending ever!

@shenstra: More T-spin talk!

I'm not sure when it was first introduced, but the T-Spin was in the N64's "The New Tetris" - which is still my favorite the best version of Tetris ever - because of its 4x4 block building metagame (You build a 4x4 block, it solidifies and is worth more points)

Strangely, performing a T-spin would ruin any blocks you had created, turning them back into regular Tetris pieces (as opposed to the more valuable Silver or Gold blocks)

And even more strangely, the only other Tetris game that allows you to build 4x4 blocks - Tetris Worlds - only allows this mode in 2:00 minute long chunks, which is completely not conducive to taking your time and creating blocks. Talk about a "broken Tetris"....

LICK THAT PLATE

I'm surprised The Pickles wasn't brought up.

@shamanultra:

Probably because he doesn't care about Disgaea, and the GB guys, for better or worse, are kind of dicks when it comes to anything they don't like or understand. 85% of the time it's pretty hilarious, the rest is mind-boggingly stupid. My match says its worth it :)

nice cast :) 

Fantastic show as always guys.

@shamanultra: I almost feel that this attitude (well besides the community being dead) is the reason(s) that anime vice is never represented in any live stream format. It seems like with most of the guys but Ryan and Jeff mainly its almost a gag reflex of anytime anything is remotely "anime-esque" its "for weird people"

You guys are crazy.
 
Concept art is a very fun unlockable, I love seeing earlier designs of characters/locations and especially when its a  game with a great art-style.
 
 A lot of companies do it poorly, though.

The voice acting bit reminded me of this...

I'd love to see more of behind the scenes stuff in games. Audio commentaries would be great.

At 4:40 they totally got Shawn Michaels into the booth.

Best show in a while, great stuff Bombsquad!

Man, this last episode shows some real hate towards Nintendo.

The VO section was awesome.

@MisterMouse: it sure was

Pleeeeease turn down the bass on your recordings. You're blowing out my speakers every week. X_X

Or you could adjust your EQ like the rest of us.

Now...We wait.

Ryan suggested to Brad that they record podcast on Twitter about 10 hours ago. That got my hopes up...

@Harkat: It'll get here, just have hope. I'm right there with ya, friendo.

Any idea when it usually goes up? It's 00:30 here, and I get up at 7. Do I go to bed with awesome Bombcast sauce fresh in my brain and risk sleep deprivation?

I've had enough of these pickles.

Edit: Oh ok. Just one more.

@Harkat:

you can easily live off about 4 hours sleep stay up its easy

Where's my Bombcast?!?

@Harkat: Iove sleep more then bombcast
