Giant Bombcast 09-08-2009

You guys have got it wrong, the best song for an ice cream truck is Captain Beefheart- Ice Cream for Crow

Trying to sell the beta key? Wow, fuck that guy.

Half beard, we salute you for being the non-asshole winner, whoever you are! Oliver, you bring shame on us all. There is no redeeming you :(.
 
Also @Supermarius : God yes, Rockband: Queen. I'm sick of rhythm games and I'd still play that on day one.

I particularly enjoyed the rythm game discussion on this edition of the Bombcast, but it was an all-around good show - just like I've come to expect from you guys!

What about Elvis? That would be a bad ass Rock Band game IMO.

" Half beard. :( Why would you do that? "

No, half-beard came second. They wanted him to write in so they could get HIM the beta, so Oliver is getting shut down for being a jerk.  Disappointing stuff, really. Glad to know that his dumbass actions were the only blemish on the panel, though. Can't wait for the rest of it to go up on the site!  Awesome Bombcast. "

Jeff is right! Cash is dirty. I never carry cash. Very few places require cash these days anyway at least where I live. It's 2009. Cash is so last millennium.

Great podcast!

I dont like the Beatles. A Zeppelin game would be awesome and sell way better that the GB crew thinks it would.

Hope everyone gets over the swine flu or whatever sickness you got at PAX.

" yeah the guy probably should have waited before trying to pawn the key but I have any problem with him selling it. what if he didn't have a gaming pc? what if he doesn't like starcraft and hadn't signed up for the conest if he knew the prize? Instead of just wasting it why not try to sell it to someone who wants it?   it also bothers me when people who give gifts get mad at with someone does with their gift. when a person gets a gift they should be grateful but usually the point of the gift is to make the receiver happy  and the gifter should be cool with whatever the receiver does because the receiver shouldn't owe anything to the gifter. kinda defeats the point  but i do kinda want that guy with the badass half-beard to win "

No Doors?  Are you guys on crack?  Talk about a game that would sell itself.

Go half-beard! I hope it becomes the new fashion!

Yeah its like if you win a TV/car/computer in a raffle some people like selling that stuff beacue they don't need it or rather they need the money for something else far more important. While everyone is flaming the guy maybe he is unemployed or he needs the money to save for something else (house, etc.) Or maybe its something completely selfish, bu then again its his fucking thing and he can do whatever he wants with it. "

Whoa, hating on The Doors? Sorry their music isn't all synthesized drum lines with someone rhyming over it.

" No Doors?  Are you guys on crack?  Talk about a game that would sell itself. "

" Im not sick but im not well "

Lol, That Oliver ass is lucky he didnt give his acc name (if he has one) or you know everyone would spam him.

Btw, if this hasn't been mentioned, beta keys are kept under strict control so if the beta gets leaked Blizzard knows everyone who had a key and who to hold responsible. If that guy goes off and sells a beta key they lose the ability to track down anyone that uses it for illegal purposes. Not to mention he was effectively attempting to make money off of Blizzard's beta process which I'm sure violates their TOS.

" @SgtReznor: You're right, music that's just a bunch of cheap power chords stringed together so dudes can feel tough while they listen to it is way better. The Beatles's catalogue wasn't the most manly shit either, if you haven't noticed. Most of it was pop that appealed to highschool girls, hence the references to an overwhelming majority of screaming girls at their concerts. "

" to the white collar private school girls who write poetry maybe"
 
If that isn't calling a band girly then I don't know what is.

So I guess Oliver is the Michael Vick of Giantbomb now. Grats to half-beard!

Bombcast!!! Awesome.

Im not angry at Oliver for trying to sell his key, Im just angry at how stupid he was going about it.

 I was really wishing some one would mention Pink Floyd in the Rock Band talk I think that game would lend itself well to a Beetle Rock Band treatment. They have such a  wide variety of music and an evolution of their music overtime that it would be very interesting to play through it not the mention the visuals that could go along with the music. Also just the sound quality of, say, Dark Side of the Moon (1973) is just still better than recently released music. That being said Pink Floyd and its members are not as iconic as The Beetles but I don't think that would take away from their stage presence. 
And come on Comfortably Numb on guitar, think about it

There are in fact plenty of Erics up here in Canada.

Damn Oliver. You are a fucking douchebag. At least wait til you actually have the beta key before you try to sell it. How stupid can you be?

First person to find out what Oliver's Giant Bomb account name is wins 6 internets.

Hmm... I'm interested to see if that death promise comes true.  Only time will tell.

this cast is asploding!

Oliver even looks like a douche (see video)
