Giant Bombcast 09-07-2010

We recuperate from an amazing weekend at the Penny Arcade Expo and reflect on our time with Duke Nukem Forever, Portal 2 co-op, Mortal Kombat, Torchlight II, a menagerie of awesome and inventive indie games, and much more!

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

@DoctorWelch: Mouse aiming is faster and more precise than a joystick on a 360 controller, and that occasinally matters. He didn't make that up.

Brad clearly never tried to play a recent Valve game with a 360 controller. It straight up has a command to use the 360 gamepad.

@wrathofconn: Yeah, obviously, I understand that, I'm saying specifically with Portal. Anyone who put down the 360 version of portal because of the controls is insane. Obviously playing with a mouse and keyboard is faster and more precise, but the controller is more than adequate enough to play portal.

@DoctorWelch: My impression wasn't that he was saying it was unplayable, just that it would be much easier to play some of the advanced levels with a PC setup, which I don't think is exactly blasphemous.

@wrathofconn: I agree, but it was like he was trying to make it seem as if it was somehow better on the PC which is definately not the case. Its equal across both. I would say it is easier for super fast speed runs obviously, but those people who stopped playing it on the 360 are truly insane. I just dont understand why Brad would bring up the opinions of crazy people if he didnt agree with them is all.

Am I still the only one that doesn't feel the humor of the Nintendo releases segment? For me it's just a long and boring chunk of the podcast that feels forced.

I'd totally buy a Star Trek v. Capcom fighting game! And i don't play a lot of fighting games.

I remember when Brad Shoemaker was first on Gamespot, he had really bland reviews and spoke in a monotone voice but now he is really funny. :)

I'm sure it's just not you, but I'm loving that part still. (:
