Giant Bombcast 593: Bad Gamer Dads

@unastrike Re: MUA3 -- You should be trying for synergies in combat when available, and individual abilities when not. Light/heavy attacks should be reserved for building your energy back up. Combat feels a lot less button-mashy that way. And spam the hell out of the dodge! It's a lifesaver.

EDIT: Also, are people here really that surprised that traditions differ from one region to another? Where I'm from, "pig in a blanket" is a hot dog wiener baked in dough (usually biscuit). I'm not losing my mind because it's something else in other areas of the world. I just wanna try the others--gimme that food!

Congrats Jeff!

Ben talks more about his partner than almost any of the others. The only difference is that he isn't using a gendered pronoun. Ben is one of the most open on the crew when it comes to his relationship and his life outside of work. How he refers to his significant other is such a weird hang-up for people. Why he uses the terms he uses isn't anyone's business except his and his partner's.

Sorry maybe I'm completely wrong but doesn't Spiderman have cube mapping on buildings on OG PS4? I swear I played it that way and noticed buildings that had it.

Also they keep mention cross platform play when talking about Destiny 2 DQB2 but everything I've seen this isn't the case at all. Destiny supports cross platform saves but you won't be able to play with people cross platform yet atleast... Bungie would like it though. And DQB2 allows you to share photos and visit people's towns but you can't actually interact or play with anyone it's just like this stuff is hosted on a server and you can look at it in real time you don't actually play with anyone. I don't know about Call of Duty. Am I mistaken? There is a huge difference between cross platform play and saves.

@garnsr: maybe that's just his/their choice, and you shouldn't judge them for it?

This was a good episode. Seems weird to say when Jeff's not on the show but there you go. Good job guys.

Should GiantBomb care about reporting on everything or even care about every youtuber in gaming? This is not some react channel. They simply chose not to talk about him, they didn't say they hated the guy...

Can't wait for that Thumbnail to cycle out of my vision....

Congratulations, Jeff and spouse!

I have to second this.

Chess rush is the best auto chess game. Turbo mode is the reason.

Absolutely love Ben and Will together, they riff off of and bicker with each other so delightfully!

GRATS JEFF! :D

Jeff! Congratulations!!

"Afterbirth"

Congrats, Jeff!

choosing to play underlords over tft just seems weird to me. Literally no bias, one is just entirely superior to the other. It's how I viewed dota over league for so long, dota just had far more mechanics and more going on, just as tft does over underlords.

Fucking DOTA...

I can't get behind praising Alex for good series names when he has ardently defended his choice of Mass Alex. (I'm joking, but I still don't think Mass Alex is a good name.)

I've never reapplied sunscreen, even after getting in the water, and I've never been badly burned. Just came back from a beach vacation today, in fact, and no burns. Didn't even know you were supposed to reapply. I never go outside otherwise, so I definitely would be getting burned if I wasn't putting on sunscreen properly. Reapplying sounds like a scam to get you to buy more.

Ha! WhipIts

Also, yes saying the name of the games more often is a good idea.

bana blitz is the only reason our family still have a wii, I don't get why they hate it.

Also most Japanese still deny their war crimes in WW2.

Congratulations Jeff, that's wonderful to hear.
