Giant Bombcast 01-12-2010

We fortify this week's Bombcast with coffee additives as we discuss the finer points of snuggies for golems, slow-motion breakdancing, The Legend of Darksiders, Fallout 3 and Mass Effect 2 spoilers, BioShock 2, the appeal of 3D, NBA Jam, and more!

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

A Bombcast with Nolan North would automatically be the best Bombcast of that year

Ryan Davis; Sanford and Son ringtone: Win!

Plasma has a higher frequency that it's capable of.  Most Panasonic Viera Plasmas can do 600 hz (Saw it last weekend at Sams up-close).  But TVs that support 3D will have it in the instruction manual. If it's not listed, it ain't got it.    
 
Please no ME2 spoilers.  I have this pre-ordered and I hope to get an S grade on GB for that game.  Bon Viaggo!

i heard that you wanted to switch shooting shoulders in mw2 but in third person modes if you hold the aim(LT) button and press the sprint button(Left stick) you will change gun shoulders.

Don't forget that the other half of the fun here at GB is the community. We're a... unique bunch, but I'm sure you'll like it here.

@Zaph: listen between 2:12 - 2:38 
Pretty much they are talking about how the fish could blow up the Podcast room.  
 
Jeff says: No more podcast. Sorry.   
Brad: FINALLY!
Ryan: Hey there... 
Brad: - - Hey I wanna say - -
Ryan: ...you can't do that. What are you doing?!  
Vinny: I don't know.
Brad: ...what?  *oblivious to what he just said*
 
Brad just let it slip that he doesn't want to do podcast. And you can feel Ryan and the rest of the gang glarin' @ him thinking *you can't say Sh!t like that. WTF man* haha...good recovery by Ryan tho!  
 
I still LOVE THESE GUYS!

It sounded like they were joking. Hopefully it doesn't turn out like the podcast two weeks ago where listeners don't pick up on the sarcasm>.<

Right, sorry. The GiantBomb office is actually a fully functional, fully disguised TARDIS.

Seems like they would have posted it early in the morning if they recorded it yesterday. Maybe they were recording something else? 
 
On a somewhat-related-note, how do they record the quicklooks? Do they just have the game set up near the microphone booths?

I would watch the fuck out of Gallagher: Behind the Sledgehammer. It's got to happen eventually, but probably not until both have been dead for a very long time.

Huh. The left reel of the animated tape icon lines up perfectly with the dog's left eye. Like some kind of cybernetically-enhanced puppy.

"Tell me about your mom's D-Box."

Also, I'm "ten years from now" and real glad that fad bullshit didn't catch on.
