Giant Bombcast 04/21/2015

Bombcast time!

Booooooooo

Sssshwing

FUCKING BOMBCAST YEAAAAAH!

Perfect timing again!

Woo-hoo!

HOLY EARLYCAST!

Ladies. Gentlemen. It. Is. Tuesday.

BOOOMBBBBBCASTTTT

DMX GONNA GIVE IT TO ME, BOMBCAST STYLE

Been waiting all day on this

It's Tuesday!

The earlier the Bombcast, the less work I get done.

The later the bombcast the less sleep I get :P. Lose-lose situations abound!

Tuna salad and Bombcast for dinner.

It's here. The wait is over.

23:54 - it's still Tuesday! Early cast!

It's actually still Tuesday! MIRACLES!

MK talk is the best talk.

WOOO!

I really wish Smite would get larger. I think it is the best of all the MOBAs, but given the developer, I can certainly understand people's hesitance at accepting it.

Nice!

obligatory bandwidth wasting comment about my excitement over the length or time of posting of this podcast!

Im pretty sure having "Giant Bomb" and "Nuclear Football" on the same webpage automatically puts you on a watchlist

here we go boys

hey guys i downloaded the normal version first, then downloaded this version BECAUSE I CAN!!!

Loving the car chase coverage.

WOOP WOOP THAT'S THE SOUND OF THE POLICE

The Bombcast covering a car chase is amazing! :p

Bloodborne: The mystical door in question leads to the back of the Cleric Beast's bridge. It's just not openable in the live version, solid, compared to the Network Test version which had some gaps of pixels. (Through camera-glitching nothing is rendered on the other side because that's how things work. Performance is improved a tiny squirt this way.)

Aaaaand that guide to the game kinda sucked and brought no new information, and getting PvP running is an utter mofo but at least it's not soulmemory. Playing through OG Dark Souls again and wishing I had a full 1080p60 HD remaster of that but with Bloodborne combat and all that, because then I'd care :/

Earlycast!

Nice to hear Jeff's having an alright time with Bloodborne. Didn't expect that. I think he might be enjoying it more than Brad, who I think is slightly tired of some the series tropes at this point.

Can't believe I have this thought came up when Brad mentioned how Star Wars "is a thing I used to care about". "Fast and Furious now that's my new Star Wars"

Listening while doing a spring basement clean out.. found a box with a spawn pogs and a tournament board.

That cast tho

g gg ghost bombcast

As someone who plays a fair bit of both, depending on which friend is playing when, I've always thought it interesting that the Dota fanbase is much more actively hostile towards LoL than the other way around.

Bombin' all night long.

I saw some of the Invasion stuff pop up in MK last week, I didn't try to dive into it as I was busy playing against a friend but I did have one of the Invasion matches appear post-game at some point. Was good to hear Jeff talk about the character representation - you don't really consider it, but there's a broad spread of characters in that game of different backgrounds and they're all treated as equal competitors. So good on Netherrealm for that.

Faction-wise, I've said it a bunch of times but they should have just had Outworld. I get that they wanted to have them as a separate "invading faction" for those events but I would have been way more inclined to side with them than any of the other factions. That said, I just hit 50 in the Brotherhood of Shadow and that comes with a pretty great Faction Kill. I'll likely end up going through all of the other ones for that trophy, especially now I have huge FXP boosters for my Kombat Kard, but I think I'm going to return to them once I've done all five.

Glad to hear Jeff's getting along with Bloodborne!

I'd absolutely rather they talk about that car chase for an hour instead of Bloodborne

At 1:22:00 I care...

Or at least I did, there is some great Star Wars EU stuff out there but the last few years it went so far up its own ass that I couldn't be bothered anymore.

Interpreting Brad's opinion on the new Star Wars trailer. Be cynical about everything and you will never be disappointing.

Hearing people talk about Star Wars cannon as though that's a thing that matters is really funny to me.

Bloodborne is to Jeff as Demon's Souls is to Vinny.

BASEBALL!! (best ad ever)

Wow... hearing Jeff talk about Bloodborne, saying that it's "alright", is a treat for me. Before Bloodborne, he had been pretty dismissive of the Souls games. I hope he does record periodic check-in videos for his playthrough; I'm really excited to see Jeff play more!

Seriously. Maybe it's a slight underdog factor as I think League is still more successful/popular than Dota 2 or maybe it's the fact that Giant Bomb is more of a Dota site but I see this happen all the time.

Whenever a website (PC Gamer in my experience) shares anything about league on Facebook there is a comment about how Dota 2 is better (with a 75% chance of "League sucks" or some variation included) in the first five comments.

I love a good high speed car chase and I love that the state of California throws public safety to the wind and broadcasts them live whenever possible.
