Cr

Yay thanks Ryan!

bombcast!!!!

Yay! The wait is over!!!

As per usual, can't wait to listen to this weeks Bomb Cast, keeps me entertained during work :D

ahhh peace!

I'm suprised you didn't find that Ginger Beer hotter, I guess it grows on you.

NICE!!
About time...it's 1:33 am. You guys don't know how much i look  forward to this!
Thanks for all the hard work!

Ahh time to sit back chillax with my beer ... serious comments later . Cheers to you guys in USA for your thingy day.

Oh God. They're talking about Fable 2 right away! Dont remind me please. That buggy ass game won't load my characters save any more and just freezes up. My entire character GONE! Or at least until they patch their game. Which will likely be a while seeing theyre working on worthless DLC like Knothole Island. Which reminds me....10 bucks for 3 lousy missions?

You guys need to jailbreak your iPhones and put ScummVM on it. I played through Day of the Tentacle and Full Throttle completely on my Touch, every game from that era runs on it. You won't regret it!

Wednesday 3:00PM ish is a good time for me. Its bombcast time in Australia

Finallllly! Been waiting for this all night....12:41AM here...

With SF4 coming soon I want to hear about arcade sticks - which ones are worth the money?  I want the experience from back in the day - MK v DC is killing my wrists and thumbs on the game pad.

Awesome podcast.  Now it's bed time.

Oh, god dammit. I knew I should've changed the wording in my e-mail. I was basically asking what Jeff thought about the concept behind free-skate activities. Fuckin' eh. My avatar explains my feelings, once again.

oblivion game of the year edition - $30 at walmart

I'm having fun at dinner !  Great show guys , and LPB rulez .   Sony = LISTEN TO YOUR FAN BASE you over brewed beer barrel.  How many coins did it take for me to beat Sagat on SF i don't remember but i know some of they older guys i worked with wondered why i never had fuel for the Ute .  What will Hideo Kojima come up with next .
Time for another beer and some pondering !

You guys should get job's as wine taster's! that would be hilarious to watch the real wine taster's get all upperty and stuffy about your analysis of the wines they're drinking too lol!

UK Drink Tests!! Awesome!

But i can't stress enough once again, Gatorade is sold in the UK and has been sold for ages, and i preferred it over lucozade...before they changed the drink and consistency entirely, it now officially sucks here.

Oh and you're right, i would like to see Kurt-Snake fuckin' Plissken-Russell on that Kojima last a little more.

Also, I'm fairly sure Brad is correct about GTA IV, and i also think GTA Tokyo is a dumb idea, also.

Thankfully i grew up in the age of 2D Fighting games.

Omg...that were bit with the old pc stuff...so funny!!!! I stille see config.sys in my worst nightmares.

Giant Bombcast blowin' up every Wednesday morning for East coasters.

theres a butcher shop in my town that sells lucazade and idris fiery ginger beer. sweet bombcast guys!

billy mays AND vince (shamwow) references in this. awesome.

I can't believe half you guys don't like ginger ale.  Not surprised Brad likes it though, they grow us right here in NC.

....Brad's from NC, right?

Daddy, Mommy, Sarah and Billy are back.

YES! FINALLY!

Also,

Hey giant bomb crew, have fun at dinner. And awesome podcast as usual.

Maniac Mansion is IN Day of the Tentacle, it doesn't work ingame like it's meant to on modern computers (at least mine when I tryed 5ish years ago) but just dig through the folders. I couldn't get used to it, I know, blasphemy...

You didn't mention the other sucky aspect of the Gamestop/Kill Zone 2 debacle. At least at my gamestop, if you get anything (including a demo) for a pre-order and decide not to buy the game after the fact, they will NOT give you a cash refund. They will only give you a Gamestop gift card in the amount of the pre-sell!

Great Comment as always guys

Old Jamaica has the biggest kick of Ginger Beer that I've tasted. Good twist on the Moscow Mule too if you want to add some Vodka.

I own a PS3 and my favorite genre of games is FPS and I'm gonna be completely honest: I had no idea when Killzone 2 was scheduled to be released.

That means there is a serious problem with the marketing push!

Lucozade mixes well with Vodka, although i dont know how dangerous it is......

Some basics on what differences between Guile and Ryu. Guile's sonic boom attack recovers much faster than Ryu's hadoken, so while Ryu's attack will leave him vulnerable in alot of scenarios Guile is safe (or alot safer). Also, the sonic boom projectile often travels slower allowing Guile to walk towards his opponent and start another attack (throw etc). Lastly, many charge characters have safer moves (Honda's headbutt, Blanka's ball attack) compared to motion characters.

Great Podcast

Excellent podcast guys.

For the part about ryu vs guile projectiles, the balance is after throwing a sonic boom, guile is able to move faster than ryu/ken can after throwing a hadoken, if anyone actually wanted to know.

Looking forward to full review of Skate 2. Since Jeff's ONLY description of playing it was basically a list of niggling little game design features that seem to have very little bearing on the actual gameplay and no actual description of the actual game, I'll wait for that. I mean, if you went by the Bombcast, Skate 2 is a colossal disaster full of bugs and glitches.

Come to think of it, Jeff's bombcast description of Fallout 3 was much the same.

Charge moves tend to have shorter recovery time, in exchange for their requirement of buildup/planning. Examples include the previously referenced Guile Sonic Boom, which has much faster recovery time which leads into his classic re-dizzy combos. Also, they are mechanically simpler than the rolling motions, so they are easier to perform, in exchange for the same requirement.

I've got a feeling that the weird killzone 2 demo thing (ie: releasing the demo worldwide AFTER the release.) might, and I quote "MIGHT"  be a success in terms of hardcore/normal-core gamer's buying it. Since it makes sense that you'll definitely want something MORE when you can't get it. Had they done like a load of advertising this would have been really awesome for Sony and the killzone 2 publisher's.

I mean if they'd of  truly wanted this game to be like one of those games that you remember and asociate  with the PS3 when you look back at some of the better console's of the past in 20 year's, THIS game could and would of done it with other expected game's such MGS4 etc....

I don't have a PS3 but I do have a 360 and the funny thing is I've allways wanted a PS3 more, allways, even since before the 360 came out. The only reason I never got one is because it simply cost's too damn much.

Now, hopefully with the new price-cut for the PS3 in April (more like september lol.) I'll probably finally be able to go and get it. Good luck for anybody out there who wants one also.

So, Godfather 2 is just GTA: Vice City Stories? I'm sure it's not, but the descriptions given from various gaming media sure makes it sound the same.

I just bought the Oblivion/Shivering Isles Game of the Year disc from Best Buy for 19.99!  It was on the shelf for 39.99, but when I got to checkout, they only charged me twenty bucks!  That's a lot of RPG for your money.

Radical show guys.  Can't wait till next week's! 

I loved all the old PC talk. Another great bombcast, thanks.

Why does everyone hate T Hawk?

I love when Ryan said "they did it for the lulz" it just sounded so awesome.
