Giant Bombcast 12-14-2010

We match three with PopCap's own Jeff Green, who joins us for this week's discussions of adult-themed Bejeweled, our Doritos Game of the Year, Andy Serkis' one-man show, inventing ancient artifacts for Uncharted 3, and much more!

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

I beat that game twice and I don't remember a nuke. Hell, even when you mentioned a nuke, it still doesn't jog my memory.

Am I the only one who got a serious Red Letter Media vibe from Jeff's Nintendo downloads reading this week?

I'm almost all the way through the bombcast and still super confused why the "whipped cream pouring like waterfalls" creepy kid from the olsen twins video is the icon for it. I want them to address this meth fueled nightmare sooooo bad.

My Dorito's 2010 GotY would have to be Harm's Way, but my Dorito's 2010 2008 GotY would have to be Dash of Destruction without a doubt. There's no competition, really.

Oh wow, huge thanks for the shout out for "Pac-Man Fever." 
 
I already told Ryan this, but I'll tell you guys too: all of the songs will keep the game sound effects intact. I honestly would've refused to do the songs if they couldn't be used. They're a HUGE part of what makes them awesome.

One of the only things I'll say about Enslaved is that thing would be best experienced as a movie.  Just watch that game (I dunno if just the cinematics would work? probably), and it's fantastic.

Dude... you could probably just Google "how to build a bomb that gets passed metal detectors." Metal detectors are far from 100% secure. The full-body scanner lets them see all objects on or slightly-inside of your body. Anything that looks suspicious warrants an additional pat-down. It's a good system. "
Except for the fact that people have already found ways to completely conceal objects from the scanners, and anyone who isn't acting too suspicious or too brown won't get searched.

I've seen that underwear that covers up your privates on the scanner screen, but those just result in follow-up pat downs. There's other ways to conceal shit?

Totally forgot about the nuke until I read your post. I thought he just beat that guy and then started roaming the city, ready to spread his virus stuff all around or whatevs.

@sofacitysweetheart: Hurray! I always wanted to be a mini-Jeff.
 
Sigh :\ Ignore the links I posted of their Xbox Live gamercards wherein they've played a portion of the game (and Brad played five or six hours of a pre-release copy where all there was to be added was polish). If they didn't think the first three hours of a game would be good, why would they like it seven hours in?

You proved that they haven't played the game (I will add, totally arguable as one of the top 10 anticipated of the year). Good work. I'm not sure how that supports your defense, but okay. I acknowledge you looked at their profiles?

Just think of what they could do during that Nintendo crap. More Email, drink tests or perhaps record more quick looks.

@sofacitysweetheart: I haven't been called pre-teen in quite some time haha. And by playing the game, you mean completed the game, rather than played the game at all, right? Because that's what they've all done; they've all played at least two hours of the game.
 
But hey! Whatever. We obviously disagree. Here's hoping Bioshock 2 makes it onto the users' Games of the Year lists, eh?

Somebody has created some sort of program that is tailored for this site. It creates profiles on Giantbomb and can somehow seek out news stories or just about anything else that can be commented on and then starts dumping it's garbage into these threads. I don't really know the specifics of how it works, but those posts are the results.

Wait... what did Jeff think Ryan said at the very end of the Bombcast?
 
I don't get it.

No no no, you did it wrong! You can speed it up without pitching up their voices if you open it in Quicktime! I did it. It was awesome.
