Giant Bombcast 05-28-2013

I haven't finished listening yet; does Ryan ever come back/start talking again?

Video card driver updates are evil now?

Fucking really?

Never mind that some games are busted at launch if you have a certain card.

Yup. It's a fucking travesty and insult to the entire paradigm of pricing structure.

For just one example: Shadowrun is still like 30 dollars On Demand while used copies regularly go for less than 5 dollars retail. A goddam joke.

Shitty tagging? That was enough to make me move over to buying all my music. Then again, I'm an organizational freak so maybe everyone isn't crazy like me.

You felt that too? Man...the room got quiet when that GameStop angle came bursting out.

The funniest guy in the room is most often the scariest.

@karmaghost: Yeah I noticed that too. He likes to just let the other guys go on sometimes.

Steam is my favorite game.

Oh Ryan, why do you hate P's and B's... ?

@sammo21: Thats always the case man, people hate on EA and origin a lot.. then praise another game for being innovative in adding twitch support. Origin has had built in twitch support for all games for a long time, but because they are "evil" no one cares. Brad in my mind tends to be super biased when he talks, and although it can be frustrating, wouldn't be the crew without him. Just wish Jeff would call him out more often like today

@blueinferno: PJ Phil 4 life!

So I just got to the communism / anarchy stuff...is this podcast reflective of CBS's position?

Things get downright BLEAK on this podcast. I loved it.

It took all week to listen to this, because this DRM shit annoys me that much. I think I'm firmly in the 'we can afford to lose them' group.

When they started talking about DLC for the holodeck, my optimistic visions of the future were instantly dashed.

Can anyone give me the timestamp on racist walt disney lol that was a funny line from jeff lol.

FUSE!

It's alright.

It's okay.

It's competent.

It's not bad.

It's boring.

It's like Haze.

I know I'm an idiot for it, but I put tape over my macs webcam. It's not a logical thing, but I have a lot of anxiety and I should be able to feel comfortable in my own home. I don't think that's unreasonable thing, even if the details make me sound weird. Which is why no matter how any of the other details play out regarding online and used games, XboxOne is already an easy no way for me. Monitoring my facial expression and heartbeat in response to media? I'm sorry but that's what people get paid for as test subjects, I'm not throwing down hundreds to give Microsoft that kind of personal information.

If you're an idiot for it, then so am i. It's scary and the main reason i dont want a Xone.

I know what you mean, man.

2:18:30

Wondering when the new one will be posted.

32 GB of RAM... Jesus...

I could open so many tabs with that

I'm jonesin' fer a bombcast now. Cmon, just a little more? I need my fix. D:

That makes two of us...

That makes seven of us. CAST OF BOMBS NOW! E3 TALK!

C'mon guys!

there has been almost no content today or yesterday besides I love mondays. you couldn't even post the remember me quick look today which i don't understand, but I'll let it slid, because i love you.

But at least grace us with an early podcast!... <3

Jeff mentioned on Twitter yesterday that this week's Bombcast features a lot of talk about games that weren't announced yet, but would be by the time it went up. So... I'm pretty sure they recorded it yesterday. Where is it???

Yeah. As well as the quick looks for like 4 things. Need my FIX!

@akujin: I wonder if the companies decided NOT to announce those games and now the bombcast is screwed?

I just finished listening to the freshest GameSpot GamePlay Episode 44 - Kevin Van O & a bunch (a lot?) of British guys - was very funny & entertaining. Might shorten your waiting time for Jeffcast?

@shingro: Pretty sure Jeff was referring to Fantasia, Halo Spartan Assault, and the Fable remake, which all were announced today.

Ryan just tweeted, "Struggling with this week's podcast due to technology phantoms. On the upside, it'll be an extra-beefy eppy. #bombcast"

Xbox and Gamecube also launched within the same week.

It was Mr.Barclay with the wierd Holodeck fantasys of the crew not Geordi. In the episode Hallow Pursuits.

GOD DAMN....I miss Ryan. Go strong Giantbomb. I love you guys!

Looking back at this episode it shows how out of touch the guys are with typical consumer practices.
