Paying to be treated like I'm a human being by the TSA is disgusting.

This week in Out of Context Bombcast Quote Theatre:

"I have a question about the panel: what happened to the donkey?"

"I think someone jacked it."

"The guy had like forty more, I have one at my desk."

What kind of asshole brags about working at a bank?

Also Anti-Tank guy, try ACE for ARMA2. It does a pretty good job dealing with vehicle damage.

Also that pee yourself person was probably mentally ill!

I was hoping the whole calling out other places bit was completed but it looks like it's now a permanent feature of the podcast. Not complaining just surprised it has gone on for this long with no signs of stopping.

Didn't care much for Bastion after the 2 or so hours I spent with it, but I'll never feel bad about giving an indie dev money. And I'll be damned if Transistor doesn't look really really good.

@crusader8463: I don't think you'll need a premium this week, this one doesn't have any of the ads.

It had one in the middle, but I couldn't wait so I just fast forwarded through it when it came up. I had to d/l it before the stores closed and had to be out.

With no Vinny this week, I was hoping an extra character would be introduced into the ads. Perhaps Brad as Big Business Man

@whatisdelicious: Tell me about it. I got cranky about its bad DVD film compatibility, took until 1.6 for me to get reliable DVD viewing out of it.

1.7 this week, people have made themselves hyped up to think. Please oh please..

This "it's using voxels but doesn't look like Minecraft" thing is really weird, in part since minecraft doesn't actually use voxels, but also since voxel games were vastly superior to polygonal games graphics wise for a good decade, stuff like Comanche from 1993 wasn't outdone by polygons until around 2003.

Once you've been defiled by the GB PAX panel you know you've been 'worn-in' like a pair of shoes. No other panel will do!

Hey @brad, in case you're wondering about Ring of Honor, it's where a lot of WWE guys got their exposure, such as: CM Punk, Cesaro, and the current champion, Daniel Bryan!

Hey @brad , I kinda of wrote off borderlands the pre-sequel as well. The description on paper sounds horrid. I honestly had 0 interest in it. Then I seen it in action during PAX. I thought Oh great a play through of a game I do not want at all. Seeing some of those really boring and eye rolling-ly painful ideas in action where actually pretty awesome and I was pleasantly surprised. I am now looking forward to it. I would say watch some of the gameplay and see what you think. It may not change your mind still, But there is a bunch of cool shit about it. Later duder.

@somejerk: I hear that. The multimedia stuff on PS4 is so bad that whenever I actually want to watch a movie with people that isn't on Netflix, I just haul my PS3 downstairs from my bedroom to the living room. Mostly I want them to address the interface (which looked cool in initial shots but is literally just the XMB with a second row and big pictures) and add in all the promised features that are either absent (suspend/resume, local media files) or broken (updating and downloading automatically has been super unreliable for me). Then I want them to start adding new stuff, like the option to follow other users without adding them.

I still don't have an interest in an Xbox One, but that system definitely has a more realized interface and Microsoft has been encouragingly aggressive about updating it.

Is there actually something to Soda Drinker Pro? I mean it was funny that it was this shitty, idiotic game, but the fact this keeps coming up makes me think there is more to it or that the conversation on this junk game needs to end as it encourages more people just to make poorly crafted garbage.
