Giant Bombcast 10-11-2011

It's Muppets vs. monsters, Wipeout vs. Wipeout, and Forza 4 vs. Trackmania 2 on this week's Giant Bombcast. We also cover the multiple layers of griefing in Dark Souls, Dead Rising canon, bad comic book games, and more. And Brad Shoemaker is here!

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

I know they have to, but if the podcast never discuss a Dead Rising game again, It'll be too soon! Soooo over zombies (unless it's Resident Evil)!

Vinny, you can do the place after Sen's Fortress: Anor Londo. Or, if you want, you can farm souls in the Darkroot Garden. Past the door that requires the 30k soul seal to enter. Observe: How to farm souls

The areas you mentioned house the big, bad bosses that the story requires you to vanquish and should be done last. Anor Londo has some tough enemies but it is the stepping-stone to those other areas. The game gets kind of confusing around where you are because it's not very clear where you should go. The place after the Ceaseless Discharge is definitely one of the last areas you should be going to, though. Those bosses you fought in the beginning of the game are pretty much common enemies there and there's lava everywhere.

Oh and you just screwed yourself out of the Chaos Servants covenant. For a Pyromancer, they're great to join because they give you some really powerful Pryomancer spells. They can nearly instantly kill black knights.

Its too bad Jeff and Ryan are gonna miss out on Dark Souls. NOW is the time to play it! It is such a unique experience. With so many ho hum games getting 4 and 5 stars, I feel like we have been giving a pass to games that do pretty much the same thing. THIS game is like nothing else and it makes me hopeful that more stellar and unique games will come in the future because of the high bar this game sets.

Please MAKE the time to play it.

You guys really did the whole restart the game thing in dead rising? It was super pointless because the game is already really easy.

Yeah guys please stick to video games, I love my man Jesse Ventura, he's better than all of you put together when it comes to facing the problems of a nation head on. If anyone wants to have a political debate with me in public, bring it, but just watch this first, mmkay??

Yep... Jesse Ventura Rules... He was a strong state governor, and saw a lot of shit, he's not a sellout like Arnold in California, September 11 was an inside job, watch the damn video again and again until you can see what should be obvious, etc, thank you, come again
