Giant Bombcast 575: Thousand-Player Battle Royale

@doncabesa: Sekiro is on embargo until Thursday, and even so I don’t think they got pre-release copies.

Halo Reach had its very own multiplayer. I think Brad was thinking about ODST.

The Amiga had support for two mice. It was a cool feature, but I only remember using it for playing The Settlers in two player split screen.

The file is broken. After pausing it for a few minutes it completely loses its place on the timeline and skipping around confuses it even more. Tried in different apps and re-downloading.

"I've got a 40mb connection and it was totally fine".

yoo that fisheye lens is DOPE, I'm hoping for more fisheye in the future.

Doesnt show up correctly where the usual podcasts do. Was an issue several times in a row a few weeks ago. Had to look at the download file name and compare to unknown artist file names to find it and play.

foobar2000's rebuild MP3 stream fixes it. that's worked several times on bombcasts with messed-up encoding.

Always great to hear from Rich. His enthusiasm almost makes me want to give Underworld Ascendant another shot, but I feel like that's going to be reserved for whenever Otherside considers themselves "done" with it.

@mezmero: One Piece is hugely popular in Japan, but it never took off in the west like DBZ did. Maybe because it was too kiddy or wacky at times, I dunno. I watched 50 episodes and enjoyed it but man I'm not going to buckle in for 500 eps

The only other series that was as influential as Dragonball was Jojo's Bizzarre Adventure. It ran for a lot longer but it's neatly divided into entirely self-contained story arcs serving as multiple entry points, in the same way that most people outside of Japan got into Dragonball with DBZ

You all forgot how Google built up AND THEN shut down the Google Glass project. So who is to say that it won't happen to Stadia? They have enough money to go deep into the gaming industry and cancel the project the next day.

Jan at 1:41:54 in the premium podcast, regarding One Piece: "I don't know if I should read it or watch it."

You should read it.

(coincidentally, you can read the entire thing on Shonen Jump's website for 2 or 3 bucks a month)

What? The? FUCK???? is everyone saying about Sunchips? They are incredible! They're some of the best things to ever grace humanity!

Um You Know That Game Where You Put Your Head Down on a Baseball Bat and Spin Around and Try to Run Around? That-Simulator is a really amazing name for a game.

FYI, DOA6 also shows wireless or wired connections, and yes the wireless ones are pretty much always worse than wired, even at full bars.
DOA's netcode is pretty strict though, i'm sure MK11's will be more forgiving.

I think I am at the level that Ben and Jan were talking about in Baba Is You and my brain is broken right now

The audio version cuts out at the end?

Max is 7 years old? wow time flies.
