Giant Bombcast 11-30-2010

Giant bomb keeps me coming... back for more.

Molyneux's balls make a brief cameo!

FOOD FIGHT

Interrogatory frame story.

Hell yes, the bombcast is up to it's great quality again. Really good episode. Each time Alex is on it makes me bummed out.

hell ya!

I feel bad for Johnny V's Fable 3 status but that's pretty damn funny.

Definitely drop everything and play Dante's Inferno and The Saboteur, Vinny! The Saboteur is one of the best games of 2009.

Ryan mentioned Jeff's wearing a Soviet hockey jersey. That would not go over well here in Canada, hehehe.

So the fact that Ubisoft MONTREAL developed the game has nothing to do with that...? :P

QU-PONS is a NY thing, don't worry about them West Coast hippies judging you! I still love you.
 
And I almost spit my Ginger Ale with the "Only Months to Learn" comment....

bombacst just can't continue to get steadily better every week can it? So many laughs in such a span of time haha oh man...food fight!

I dont get why Ryan keeps bashing on Tron 2.0 ... that was actually a pretty amazing game.

Brad's whistle sounds like a tuba.

Finally got off my ass to sign up for the website just to let you guys know:
God damnit, I love you guys.  Keep up the great work.  

or to begin the night....

Hah can't believe jeff said lemon party

Hell yeah new bombcast.

Yeah, Tron 2.0 is great. Maybe they judge based on the xbox port. I'm not sure how it stacks up to the excellent PC version. "

Incoming Rosetta Stone quick look? That would be kinda cool, actually. It's like a vidja game, but with learnings!

" @Godlyawesomeguy:  I wanna play the Saboteur just for that "Climb the Eiffle Tower" achievement.  Don't really care about the rest of the game however.  "

I find the jazz in Gran Turismo the only thing good about Gran Turismo,
and that sweet smooth GT5 bossanova makes me clean my apartment better than ever..
 
Yeah it's the only thing I use GT5 for, it's music player and Bossanova/Jazz/Lounge collection.

I remember playing the PC version after finding it in a bargain bin for like 5 dollars. Cool story, GREAT graphics, decent ways of integrating computer speak into gameplay. I also remember it being hard as fuck so I had to turn on god mode. "

Oh I have to mention/brag - Borderlands is incredibly boring to watch, but somehow I got my girlfriend
to try it and now we're playing together whenever we can. She loves it!

Is there a problem with your recording equipment or in my iPod? I the audio seems to do quite a bit of hiccupping and stuttering. I wish it was my ipod so I could get a new one, or a smartphone of sort. If the problem's at your end, fix it because it's really annoying. 
 
THX. You're the best gaming site ever.

" Does Poker Night at the Inventory have working mirrors? "

Yeh, GT5 lets you use your own music, and also it lets you choose which of the preset tracks plays when - i.e. I have set all the race music (electro, dubstep etc) to play in the menus instead of the god-awful lounge music.

" Does Poker Night at the Inventory have working mirrors? "

Yes and no. Yes, there are mirrors but all they show is Jeff Bridges. "

Speed Stackers! Haha. I remember having those cups. Can't remember where they went, unfortunately.

THE UPLOAD FAILED

I thank the Bombcast crew for opening my ears to Japanese Smooth Jazz.  Kaori Kobayashi has blown my poor mind to bits and I'm lovin it.

Kinda makes me angry they ignore playing good games like Fallout over shit like Fable 3 and Borderlands...but whatevs

Okay, make sure you fall into the pool on the right hand side. One of the most memorable achievements I have ever pulled off. "

Wait... I played the demo of Tron 2.0 on the PC. I thought it was god-awful, with terrible controls and mentally troubled AI. Are you guys high?  Or am I?! "

 Kaz said "almost 6 years that it has been in development" on GTTV for GT5 so there you have it, guys.

Vinny: Theres gotta be somethin...i feel bad for him.
Ryan: He's fucked. 
Hilarious. 

I like how they "make fun of" the amazon sales... "oh its was only huge discounts for these 20 top tier must buy games from this year like Fallout and Fable, WE already have them all!". Sorry and boo-hoo guys hahaha. This sale wasn't made for you, it was made for those that need sales to buy games. The rest of us who can't afford (or get games free) don't buy as many games as you; and Enslaved for cheap was awesome for me - and that was the only game i could afford this Xmas. I won't get Fallout or Fable or Assassins '3' till next year, and still have to play my copy of Assassins Creed 2. Remember most of us don't even have enough time to play through games as fast as you dudes, even if we can afford to buy as many as you. You rush through them so you can talk about them at your job. Where as my buddy played through Castlevania for a month since that's all he could afford that month. A game that is "so last week" to you, will be new for us at Xmas, (some kids will get Halo Reach or Dead Rising for the first time at Xmas and you guys are long done with those!). 
 
Its like Vinnie and his Steam sales, he has to re-buy games because he owns so many :) But for many of us those sales are the only time we buy games.

@Detrian - you know what? what a jerky response you had to my post. when i posted on here about the Giant Bomb crew "poo-pooing" the game sales of Black Friday on the Bombcast, you resorted to name calling for some reason? I pointed out they were GREAT sales on Steam and Amazon etc.., but that the guys get so many free games for review, and buy so many themselves for coverage - and then have to push through them fast so they can tell us about them - that they are not seeing the sales through proper colored glasses. They just don't play games the way most of us do, so they had an odd view of the sale.  
 
Then you said:  "...pleb.They are making fun of how Amazon does insane deals, not the deal itself." 
 
I am that wrong to get insulted? Oh really? that's why I can quote Ryan saying: "Steam sale, nothing, goose egg, kind of a bust". Vinnie: "All of the Black Friday, Cyber sales this year, I dunno if its the state of games this year? Nothing. I didn't pick up anything." ITS NOT THE STATE OF GAMES, ITS THAT YOU OWN EVERYTHING ALREADY! So I was correct in my comment. They were not saying amazon sales were so insane and awesome. They were saying they had nothing to buy. (Jeff has 2 damn copies of GT5, I can't buy 1). Don't resort to name calling like that. 
Ryan chimes in and basically says what i am saying, but in a negative light on the sale "there were a ton of sales, but all game we already own." I am pointing out that their situation is odd, not the sales. Its cool they get to play so many games. But most of us DON'T own those games. So i dont know why YOUR panties were in a bunch over my comment, but they clearly saw the sales in a more negative light. They clearly expected more, i am saying we got a lot!
 
The one thing the do say they like is the amazon gift certificates, and those are year round. not the sales.
