Giant Bombcast 01/13/2015

So, can't get that loot crate discount code to work....

I dig Bombcast but also don't understand the focus on PC gaming and the somewhat trashing of the Xbone. Do THAT many people really PC game now??

Whoa Jeff, the first 15 minutes of the podcast was riddled with f* bombs - not to mention it peppered throughout. You're better than that. I would expect filler words in lowbrow podcasts, but not this one.

Ryckert has to be the hire of the decade...btw....what a shot in the ass to the whole site

Drew's Huey Lewis sprinkled throughout the podcast is great. Fun Fact: The Sports tour was my second concert.

Is it just me or is does the audio keep skipping in the podcast?

Gotta love that Dan Ryckert. BTW The R-Zone in fact, is garbage.

Listening to them talk about player mobility and Killzone's alternating mission objectives during multiplayer just reminded me of how great the Section 8 games were. They were just released 5 years too early, before people wanted their FPSes fun and varied, and now the developer's been closed down. :/

Section 8 allowed you to drop into the map from space, drop mechs, turrets and supply depots on top of people, use jetpacks and had various missions appearing during the match.

Robert Plant is doing fine, thank you. I loved Led Zeppelins first album, but that was then. Robert Plant I respect because he does understand he's aged, and I really enjoy his later music. I think something personal comes through. Best to the rest of Zep. remaining.

I hated Huey Lewis back in the day......

The active ingredient in Robitussin (and some others) is chemically similar to codeine, but is a dissociative rather than a narcotic. If Drew is having a reaction, don't go near it, though it usually takes far more than correct dosage to have a high effect. I consider it dangerous trash for that kind of thing....

Looking at Will Smith's tested.com 'build a pc' video after this. just got my parts, and Will Smith's video walked me through last time.

Dextromethorphan is way too much to be available over the counter.

Needs more Jason.

I think Puyo Puyo Tetris is available for download on the PS3—or at least it was at one point—but for whatever reason it's hard copies only on the current generation consoles.

Yes, more Jason needed. Considering the small amount of contribution from Drew, I don't understand why Jason can't be a regular.

Personally think the new intro music is garbage.

Um, guys, you put the wrong kind of Robitussin for the podcast image! If you drink a whole bottle of that variety, it'll kill you! You need the kind with DXM only as the active ingredient. THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!

@meauntienora: I love your name and profile image, but stop spreading that disinfo! It's just entirely obvious that breathing a vaporized combination of propylene glycol (which is in many foods and cosmetics, safe for consumption), natural flavoring (like vanilla), water, and nicotine IS DEFINITELY MUCH SAFER than breathing in 100's of carcinogens, additives, heavy metals, and ESPECIALLY, radiation! How could you possibly not see which one is safer than the other? It takes an hour of research to find jaw-dropping evidence of the difference. Now, nobody's saying that vaping is "safe", but that it's probably 100x safer than cigarettes/tobacco...How could you not see it?

I have four words for you: flushable toilet paper tubes!

Does it offend your highly refined sensibilities? You realize it's just a word, right? There isn't something else you can focus your offense on like, you know, that might be productive?

I once read if you crack open a Vicks inhaler and eat the vapor cube out of it that you will trip like Beavis and Butt Head did in their feature film.

Another fantastic Bombcast! Miss Jason on this week though.

I guess I may be the only one but I definitely use the Xbox TV thing all the time. I don't use the guide or the remote (not having a Kinect) but I like to watch TV in a tiny window while I'm playing games. I like it well enough that I'm looking forward to the next EA PGA game because golf is the perfect game to play when your attention is divided. It's not ideal, it seems to throw the audio a bit out of sync and sometimes I feel my TV isn't big enough for what I'm trying to do in-game but I think it's pretty valuable, akin to being able to stream radio/podcasts via the bluetooth on my Turtle Beach headset. I'm an entertainment multitasker and more inputs is always a good thing.

Whoever that guy is that emailed in about toilet paper, he is history's greatest monster

Just call me the vape ape

Brad is such a rule follower. Talos Principle says 'don't go in the tower'. Brad says 'okay'. Does not even attempt to go in the tower.

how does your player not have the ability to seek past what is loaded

So... ever since that first podcast I have not been able to keep content with my default site. Like I said before, sometimes you guys can sound terribly cold and cynical of a game but often enough seem to reflect my sentiments on a lot titles and trends as of late. My default subscription service seems a little more pro and sensationalist compared cold harsh truths I listened during the 5 day countdown podcast. But like GI, I still can't seem wrap my head around how did one person's opinion beat out 5 others against Destiny. I can only imagine that person is also the boss (not familiar with the cast and two of you have the same voice!) as was the case in the other but at least more people were asking "why?" on here rather than weekly articles popping up telling me the millions of different hoops I need to jump to enjoy Destiny or you are playing it wrong.

I like the GiantBomb channel on Roku. I don't think you can access ALL the videos, but I think all the recent content is there.

Dip is still popular with the kids. I remember in high school some kids would do it in class (this was like not even 5 years ago)

Listen, I'm a dude and I use nice toilet paper. Have you ever used the toilet paper in a public bathroom, say at an office, restaurant, or university? You'll sometimes get this ridiculously thin, scratchy industrial toilet paper (in my area, it often comes from WAXIE Sanitary Supply). It makes wiping your butt unpleasant. Nice thick toilet paper, on the other hand, is soft and doesn't irritate your butt. It's like if you have a cold and need to blow your nose constantly, you're going to want to get nice thick Puffs Plus with Lotion. You try to use normal Kleenex, you're going to have a bad time.

Maybe it doesn't matter to everyone, but it's definitely something which is noticeably more pleasant if you care about that.
