Giant Bombcast 10-25-2011

Wow, Jeff never finished Uncharted 2? I understand his reasons why, but that's still pretty surprising.

"...no, that's in the 3DS version...

...which I also bought."

Amazing.

New Bombcast! Alright!

How in-depth do they get with the Uncharted details? Brad was about to elaborate about the combat twists and I ripped my headphones out. I WANT TO KNOW LITERALLY NOTHING ABOUT UNCHARTED 3.

I wouldn't worry about it, he never really mentions the story.

Dat bass on the intro...

damn krogers replaced my IGA

When do you guys record the bombcast? Thought you would have talked about GTA V,

The day before, since the teaser info came out today they wouldn't have heard about it yet. Also not much to say at this point since we don't really know anyhthing.

Just to clarify: it truly is "gil" with a hard "g".

Yeah, I got over the Uncharted style set piece by like the first third of Uncharted 2. Not much interest in playing that again.

Fuck, Uncharted 3 is only a week away now!

w00t

True but I'd have loooooooved to hear them just make wild claims about what they expect. I'm actually super excited for GTA V for some reason. Maybe this time they'll have an awesome (decent?) PC version...

I got the 400 trophies yesterday, it wasn't hard at all and not that time consuming. It's definitely worth it to get to those Riddler missions. I had over 300 just near the end of the game.

Every time you complete a row of trophies (the Catwoman trophies don't count towards those rows) you unlock an audio guide for each area, though some only unlock concept art.

It would be funny if only crazy people like Jeff are the ones who are actually buying the Skylander stuff.

Jeff's feelings about Batman and Uncharted's future is the same feeling I have towards Assassin's Creed. Love the games pre-ordered Revalations, but it just feels like they need to do something different for ACIII

It's like crack.

The conversation on weather Brad and Ryan should replace their PS3 hit me hard. My lainch ps3 just died and thats where most of games and friends are. so i'm gonna replace it with a new one instead of getting a refurbished one from sony. but then week later 360 slim disc tray craps out and i pay $99 to Microsoft to fix it. so yeah $399 to get me back and running gaming wise. this late in the life cycle

My library carries some games already, though not many. Most of them are reading related like the Harry Potter games or chidrens stuff like Cars. But they are a bit behind the times as they have way more PS2 games than PS3 or 360. Thanks to them I found how truly shitty those Harry Potter games are!

Sounds like the series finale is next week. I can't wait.

Jeff talking about switching between the Spyro Skylanders made me spit my drink out. Thanks Jeff.

PC version is fine now, I'm playing it with the ENB mods on. But yeah, I really hope that R* doesn't continue their trend of not even bothering with a PC version.

Brad's Murloc noise was hilarious.

Philosopher and wise-man Terry Tate said it best.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

What Nolan North game were they talking about at the end?

I want phat leveled-up, in-box Chop Chops. Who's with me?!

I'm laughing hysterically at Jeff swapping Spyros, straight up stylin' on these kids.

@DystopiaX: No. No it isn't. Even today, it runs like shit for half the people that I know who own it. Metro 2033 runs better at max settings with AA than GTA IV runs at mostly max settings. Even the people who can run it ok can only run it ok at highish settings.

The Simpsons hasn't been good in like a decade - I find it to be totally unwatchable. I could watch the older episodes endlessly, though.

@nohthink said:

Pretty quick one today, eh?

If you consider two and a half hours quick, then yeah. :P

What you gotta do Jeff is this: have another person working the portal, and alternate between you're damage dealer and whatever trash character you don't care about. Whenever you're about to take damage, the portal operator quickly switches characters and then switches them back after the damage is done.

Lookin' forward to the Rocksmith videos!

Explosive gel on the question marks! Why did I not realise that?!

I don't know what to tell you, I have a 560TI and I can max it, run EMB mods, and all that shit, at a frame rate of around 30.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You guys forgot the fourth part of the Naughty Dog cycle. The absolute most important part of the cycle.

The silly knockoff racing game. How could you forget it?

I use my two index fingers to type, and I generally type 70 words per minute.

 luv me some bombcasts!
 
Vinny:  the word you were probably trying to think of when you said "mystique" is probably "intrigue".

Man, I felt so bad-ass when I did that spray-gel thing with a particular riddler challenge thing. It was one of those, hey, this shit better fuckin' work and it did. Kinda like that dive bomb riddle challenge thing. I love Batman.

love the new backdrop!

What the hell is that thing? Looks like...something.

Yay!

"For a guy who doesn't kill people....he hurts with his words"

Spat out my coffee at that one.

Are they gonna spoil batman for me? I'm waiting for the PC version and haven't even watched the Quick Look, are they gonna say what kind of stuff you do in arkham city?

I'm Old. I learned on a IBM Selectric Typewriter. The one with thte interchangeable balls...he he balls.

Gonna be Tomatoed for this, but... Uncharted is kinda bad. Just saying.

PSO taught me how to type quickly and accurately. Also, how to turn picture messages into obscene flipbooks.

They do mention how they figured out some Riddler puzzles as to what methods they used to solve them. As someone who hasn't even completed the game yet, they don't go into any important story-related items I think.

@Pop: Its not too bad, if you know the general outline of the story opening. Mostly they talk about riddler trophies, and a few upgrades to batman's gadgets, no real story spoilers ( I have finished it, so I have a good idea what qualifies as one)
