Bombin' the A.M. With Scoops & the Wolf!

Bombin' the A.M. With Scoops and the Wolf! 08/23/2013

We virtually fly back from Gamescom, wonder about hardware strategies for Xbox and PS4, ruminate on Wolf Among Us, and crown an artwork victor.

Grab a cup of coffee, and catch up on the day's headlines with Giant Bomb guys that aren't in San Francisco.

@verysexypotato: you and everyone else did great! Either one of the top 2 deserved to win, but congrats! As the guy who made the lame skyline one I say ignore the haters, if someone hates my art it just means they aren't one of the people I was doing it for.

I love everything you are.

We should play games together.

You all are being a bit dramatic aren't you? Well I suppose that's appropriate, being artists. There are no haters here, just me. I didn't send a letter to the U.N. to report your art as a crime against humanity. I said it was lame. That's an honest opinion. And for being members of a website who's founders and editors make a living off of criticizing other peoples' work, you have unusually thin skins and a truly boggling lack of perspective.

the first 3 minutes of this show are really frustrating.
Patrick fakes not knowing that Gamescom was once before called something else and then, racism comments from Alex on German culture. Guys, this site is getting worst and worst by the day. Come on. Disapointing...really

makes point that art is subjective and if he think its lame thats his opinion. i don't agree but thats just way thing are in art world. sometimes the reason why people don't like art is more interesting then reason why they do.

Not a fan of the art as it stands. I agree with Patrick his avatar is not an accurate portrayal of him or his personality. Patrick neither looks are acts like the painter Bob Ross having an epileptic seizure.

Good art all around, really liked the red skyline but the artist absolutely nailed it with the winning selection. Those eyes. Also, A Machine for Pigs endurance run- I would lose my shit for this.

Please do not soil my vision of Germany as 24/7 polka music and sausage and beer in extra large glass steins served by busty blonde waitresses wearing cute little lederhosen dresses. :(

I hate that we live in a world where touch screens are a "friendlier" thing for many people than a game controller. I hate touch screens.

Yes! Yes! Yes! More sound effects! It would've been neat to have a Live at PAX Bombin' the A.M. but you guys probably have a lot to do while you're there. And those art submissions were awesome, great call on rotating them.

The thing about Journey is, it's not so much that you'd get a PS4 for a Journey, but would buy a PS4 knowing that Journeys would appear on it reliably.

@alex: Yup on Cage's touchpad. Note also, since it's a Cage idea, it's already been done long ago, much better, by someone else, who has been the subject of far less rimjob interviews...

It's wierd about subs now; I mean, when both ESO and Wildstar announced that, it was if they were doing some mad avaricious cashgrab...yet B2P games worldwide are doing some mad avaricious cash grabbing via P2W, nipping out things once won via skill or play in-game, or must-play-due-to-multiplayer-environment-standards map packs to far less focused uproar.

Oh right, less responsibility and more impulse via microtransactions. This'll be a wierd generation we're nearly done transitioning into...

Guests, please! Dodrill was outstanding.

Please don't ever have guests on during the bulk of the shows. The show is best when just you two discussing back and forth.

I really don't see Watchdogs being that much better on PC than on PS4/Xbone.

@personandstuff: Smartglass does not allow you to play games at all. Smartglass is merely a tool to interact with your system, such as a controller for Netflix or to pull up information while you are playing or watching movies. You aren't going to play Halo or something on your iphone or tablet.

Unlike Forza, Gran Turismo sells, it doesn't need a shiny new toy to boost its sales, the kind of people who buys Gran Turismo don't mind keeping their PS3s hooked to the TV for a few more months or even years, if PD wants to sell the most copies they are going to release it on the platform with the bigger userbase, so yes, they are gonna miss some of the turncoats (people who had 360s but no PS3s and now want to taste some of the GT juice).

@hammondoftexas: I grew up in Columbus, OH as well -- but I'd find it hard to find a person that lives on the East Coast or West Coast that doesn't share Alex's attitude on Ohio. We are the nice, red-headed stepchild of the Midwest.

Somebody needs to make a 30 second musical intro to kick off every episode of the show. You know the kind:

- Mulitple layered voices at various speeds repeating the name of the show
- Sounds of ice cream scooping and wolves howling among 700 other sound effects happening at once
- Music cutting in and out dynamically to allow for random audio grabs
- A fair helping of Jeff's *EXCLUSIVE*
- More howling

I don't get the whole Killer Instinct conversation. You get a full game for 20$ or can choose to buy single characters if you're an idiot. What's not to like? Just pay 20$ and be done with it, the Ultra Street Fighter IV upgrade costs 15$ and only gets you 5 new characters.
