Giant Bombcast 03/25/2014

We clear away the post-GDC haze to discuss Sony's virtual reality plans, Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, Arrowhead's new Gauntlet reboot, hot firmware updates, Infamous: Second Son, and another batch of profoundly terrible listener mail.

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

Time to groove to the smooth tones of The Giant Bomb while clicking on demons and loot (2.0).

If Brad is talking about Infamous SS they should dub the sounds of vigorous masturbation into his possible sploosh-fest, I know he loves the franchise. :)

I was kinda hoping that they would add Oculus Facebook talk or put out a mini reaction thing. I think they've done that before when something big has happened after they recorded the bombcast.

It's a shame this was probably recorded before the Oculus news hit considering it JUST happened. Oh well. Next week. For now: BOMBCAST!!

@luciddreams117: They more or less always record on Mondays, so that's a safe assumption.

They should have done a live recording of the Oculus/Facebook discussion and then bolt it into the bombcast.

Yeah, I really wished they'd stop feeding into the beefs that have arisen in the emails. It was funny at first but now has just gotten really frustrating

Cut it up into 5 second sound bites and put them at random points throughout the podcast!

@jeff@brad Regarding Snake/ Big boss coversation.

They directly interacted in the epilogue of Metal Gear Solid IV after the big reveal at the end of the 3rd act that the corpse that everyone thought was Big Boss' was in fact Solidous instead of Big Boss.

I'm kinda surprised that Jeff used such strong language about the Ground Zeroes stuff. Calling it sick and disgusting, or something along those lines, I don't remember exactly. I'd have pegged him as someone that isn't phased by anything like that, but I'm known to be wrong.

Kojima said he wanted to take a dark nasty route with GZ and TPP and he's taking that route. If the writing of them to mean that he's a crazy weirdo freak and those are his fantasies, that speaks more about the person who thinks that than him.. And what's so messed up about that thing about that blew up? Plenty of cases of that happening here in reality, it's just that it's been hard to re-assemble things and figure out where it detonated. For having such a violence and war loving reputation there's been a lot of pussified stuff coming out around GZ from the US, meanwhile Europe treats it like the dark nasty fictional content it is, even the treehuggers we have in my country, without taking it personally.

As for Quiet this is her background: [spoiler]she gets raped, loses her voice due to the trauma, wows to end the ones who did it and the ones like them, all while wearing the clothes she wore during the act[/spoiler]. Welcome to the real world. This happens. If you don't like the idea of a character like that, scratch The Phantom Pain from your purchasing plans. The rest of us will enjoy a game that has a mature rating because it has mature content, a game taking its place next to books films tvseries that have had dark nasty content forever.

e: wrote this manually from the phone that refused to be able to click format tag buttons so consider this a request to make spoiler tags and such be able to tag manually in text like I did there. Shit.
