Giant Bombcast 08/12/2014

The Riff Raff thing is all made up. He was on some stupid MTV show years ago and didn't act like that. He has created himself to be that way. I'm sure he does act like that now cause that is what makes him money and he can get away with it.

This is what is wrong with hip-hop. Fuck.

Yes.

I enjoyed when Drew said "so that's what CapsComs beens doings". And that whole scene where Jeff is holding his cynicism while everyone semi-digs the Resident Evil remake then explodes in anger.

Ummm, like, can you not? My girlfriend Bradetta is a strong, independent woman, and she can like totally say whatever she frickin wants, okay? Like, oh my god, just chill.

That Uplink game mode sounds a lot like bombing run from UT03/04.

So I went back and am watching that TNT of Quake from almost four years ago that Brad mentioned and I immediately miss when GB would play games with the community. I know you don't want TNT to come back but it was so cool to see a mass of people meet up and play any game you guys would come up with.

Also I hope Drew archives all those old livestreams because I think it was awhile before the TNTs started to get put up on the site.

my thoughts exactly.

@injectablemarijuana: I thought the problem with hip hop was the loss of any creative integrity, lyrical skill, variable subject material (i.e. songs about things other than money, women, and drugs), or really anything to distinguish one song or artist from another. Now all you have is the sound of their voice.

Even before Ryan's untimely passing, it felt like they were starting to struggle to do anything with TNT each week. Eventually it just devolved into essentially UPF, where the staff played MP games with one another (trucks, anyone?) without any major public involvement. I kinda like when people watching the streams just randomly end up in a Steam game with the staff.

Side note: the only TNT I can recall getting picked for was Red Dead Redemption, and my router was shitty and didn't let me get into a game with Ryan. Shame :-(

Holy shit. Jeff buying three copies of Final Fantasy X is almost Dan-Crazy... almost.

Johannes from Vienna is a fucking crazy person. I laughed so hard, thank you sir.

@kingschiebi: Yeah if the MGS run happens, I'm so watching that. Quite possibly my favorite franchise ever, hands down.

"Read the fucking news, Shoemaker."

@stryker1121: The international is the actual name of the tournament though, what is he supposed to call it?

Yeah that's true. Still be cool if every once in awhile they organized a big community play session. Shame about your luck, I wanted to get in on the Burnout Paradise TNT but of course they played it on 360 while I have the PS3 versions haha.

This is such a great scene, because Leslie Nilsen tries to follow the bad guys with a car, but it's a whacky hydraulic car that bounces up and down like crazy and bumps against a portable toilet. Then after Leslie finally gets out of the car he also bounces up and down like the car and and...

...so yeah, I think I sometimes find Dan overexplaining some jokes/references he makes a bit annyoing. With that said, though, I really liked Wrongfully Accused!

@injectablemarijuana: He also is a total scummy asshole now. Licking the faces of random girls with their boyfriends right there? Fuck that.

Not for nothin', but this thread is as good a place as any to thank the GB crew for all the great content that's been produced lately. There's so much stuff I can barely keep up with it. In conclusion, you guys are the shiz!

I think he's had a pretty serious GF for years now.

"Who watches Twitch archives?"

I get a lot more views on my archived videos than I ever get when I'm live.

Gimme dat Dan+Drew MGS feature.

Hey you guys, I am so up for Metal Gear!

Didn't occur to me I just moved to GiantBomb's home turf until Drew started talking about Outside Lands and I realized I could've run into him there.

Ed Harris was in National Treasure 2

@hood3311: omg, I had no idea wtf that photo was.aaaaaaaaaaahhaahahhahaha!!!!! Man. I agree with Jeff, I played through most of the FF games until I met blitzball.. That ruined em for me.

Yeah I love them so much I don't listen to the premium version even though I could.

And I suppose the other name mentioned is Mario's full given name instead of his taxonomic name. How can anyone come to that conclusion?

Also, if you want to play a new (well, 2004) slightly-but-not-really-NSFW version of Stroker, here you go: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/153691
