Giant Bombcast 10-09-2012

Vinny returns to regale us with the pleasures of air-travel with a six-month old, Brad returns to Albion in Fable: The Journey, Jeff plots out his raid on Tokyo, Patrick chooses his own adventure in Dishonored, and Ryan gets overwhelmed by the alien scourge in XCOM: Enemy Unknown in this week's Bombcast!

The Giant Bombcast is the world's most beloved video game podcast, and now it's available in video form.

Haha, you could tell that Vinny was going to say "stir with my cock."

Also, you can totally hear the disappointment in Ryan's voice when Vinny says that he didn't get to play Resident Evil 6.

The Nerdist guys got Tom Hanks on their podcast recently by sending him an old typewriter.

Well you guys are even better, so someone buy one off ebay and get Mr. Hanks on the next Bombcast.

3:16. Finally, the Bombcast bends to my will...

One of the most amazing (extended) intros in quite a while.

oh my gosh, I missed Vinny so bad. I have traveled with my children before and I was laughing so hard I had to pause the cast in the first 5 minutes.

Just barely started listening to the podcast - got to your travel recap. What you've described sounds exactly like my 10-month old niece, except she also hates lying down on her back. Apparently, lately she's been getting better at falling asleep without waking everyone in a 1-mile radius.

So there's hope. :)

If the idea really needs to be sold: I, as a frequent user and premium member of this site, would watch every minute of Jeff and company rolling around Japan, and I would probably consider it one of my favorite events on the site.

Not to mention the promise of a follow-up series in which Jeff shows every TurboGrafx game he owns in detail, like a Game Room sequel. I loved that Game Room video series. Frankly, Giant Bomb is overdue for some more focused marathon content like that.

Ryan, was waiting for you to check in with Vinny to see what his next gamefly game was now that he's back. Had a great moment at the end to get that real quick & missed that chance.

I'll make this easy for Jeff.

The Raid has to happen now. You've already said too much.

Record as much of it as you can, and make it premium content.

Holy shit, Jeff's discovery of his sealed copy of Magical Chase is insane. I can't even fathom a game being worth that much money.

Also, come on , you know if you went to the Capsule Toys you'd just end up spending the whole day turning the crank and then go home disappointed.

I am also pro-E.V.O. Goes nicely with all the Tokyo Jungle content. ;)

The correct question is: what do they have to send Tom Hanks in order to get Ice-T on the Bombcast?

Those last 2:30 mins were fucking hilarious. God damn why would you EVER want to finish Prison Break? Once they plan to break out of prison for the 2nd time, I turned that shit off and never looked back. You fucked up there Tricky.

Classic is more than just the next difficulty up from Normal. There are significant differences to the way the game works mechanically. It's not just more hp for anamies, oh no.

There's a lot about it, and ironman mode, from one of the devs, here:

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2012/10/06/xcom-s-classic-ironman-mode-is-an-even-match-for-its-creator.aspx

good article thanks for the link, I hope this is a game where if I play it enough I can figure out how it works good enough to cheese my way through Impossible but it doesn't quite sound like it

I'm listening to every Bombcast and I think you guys really need a 'Fake Outtakes' at the end like the Tested Podcast has. 
This should mainly be a podcast about games. I like the random chatter from the GB guys but it's getting out of hand again.

God damn, the promise of hearing Vinny's child grow up via the podcast over the next few years is more compelling than videogames.

hell yeah, to think it's been nearly 5 years of giant bomb now, in 5 years we'll be getting updates on what his son thinks about games and stuff like that.......

it's gonna be awesome

Goodness gracious! Great balls of podcast!

I just wanted to point out that whenever Tricky P talks about Dishonored (especially in the QL), he says "these types of games" alooooot.

That's so casually genre-ist. It's called stealth action games Patrick! GET WITH THE NEW WORLD.

Even beyond Dishonored, he often seems to avoid ever saying the name of games more than once. It's always "that game", said in a way that really seems to emphasise that it's a game, like it wouldn't have been obvious if he hadn't said that it was a game.
