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.

PLEASE don't get rid of the wiiware/dsiware portion of the bombcast!  My biggest laughs from the podcast have always come from that part!

I play MMOs because of an article Jeff Green wrote back in the 90's about EverQuest and his dwarf paladin.  I love it when he drops in on the Bombcast.

Kind of odd to me how...gobsmacked the boys were with the lack of branding in the Doritos games. To me it proves Doritos/Frito-Lay knew their audience. The kind of folks that are on XBLA are oftentimes the kind of folks that wretch from in-game branding.

Giant Bomb never did an exclusive podcast on either of those games. Which podcast are you talking about?

Are people actually complaining about the Wii/DSiware segment, or is Ryan just being ridiculous? I see no reason to cut it out unless you're going to replace it with something equally fantastic.

I'm talking about the podcasts the weeks after those games were released, when they took up seemingly 75% of the entire podcast.   The two ones they did back in September that ended up being over 3 hours because they spent so much time talking about them.    Those two podcasts were a CHORE to sit through.

Really though, it wasn't about the junk touching, it was about making a big deal out of a simple procedure. Stand in a scanner, get touched a little. Big woop. An overly-friendly Walmart greeter is more invasive than that. What's the big deal?

Thank you Bomb crew and guest Green! You made my online part of my Math Exam so, so, much more tolerable. The WiiWare stuff was hilarious. The ending was great as per usual. Loved the episode.

Always nice to hear you guys hate on a series that only has 2 decent games and then praise the fuck out of cod SEVEN. Also, Jeff Green has the worst opinions I have ever heard. Unless with "moderate price" he means 10$ or less, a game with only 3 weapons and a tiny space would win the biggest ripoff of the year award.

You guys can't get rid of the WiiWare and DSiWare reading.  They are the best part of the show!  Also, Jeff Green is awesome.  Best Bombcast guest ever.

I'm okay with them getting rid of DSiware an WiiWare releases because the segments have been getting stale and not as funny. Compare with the legendary Saucepanman jokes, Sarah Billy Mommy Daddy bits, its been very average lately.
Maybe they need some sort of change.

Lost Planet 2 is Monster Hunter in Space, I don't really see how it's supposed to be cribbing ideas from American games. Also. Bayonetta's combat is Devil May Cry + Witch Time, being someone who played just about all the "Stylish Action" games I thought it was fun but nothing exceptional or particularly innovative.
