Giant Bombcast 10/21/2014

With Drew wrapping up his odyssey on the other side of the world, Jason's back to keep the podcast party going with more on Bayonetta 2, Sunset Overdrive, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Killer Instinct Season 2, Axl Rose's favorite pinball phrases, some bygone E3 reminiscing, and Dan's uncanny knack for hanging out with random celebrities.

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

Surely you underestimate the amount of Mariska Hargitay one could handle.

@danryckert: The more I hear and see about you the more I am convinced you are one of the world's Interesting Peopleâ„¢.

Whatever it is that makes you do what you do, keep doing it.

As long as it doesn't involve the suffering of others of course.

Man I would love a Metal Gear Rising chunk on Extra Life.

There is so much crazy shit you can do in that game with the combo and parries but it is so unconcerned about telling you about any of it.

As a Spanish-speaker; I loved Jeff's mispronouncing of "desafío" as "desaflo" during the Hulu ad.

@mmorpgal: Premium is so premium that the link was only posted on Twitter: http://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/giant-bombcast-10-21-2014-premium/1600-1042/

(It was really just a site glitch).

Trophy rarity is calculated per instance per account, this allows tracking of loans/rentals/used sales/theft/family sharing/everything. Heavy Rain was rented like a motherfucker, some stats were loosely released and showed kinda sad numbers.

Sad because we have fuckall rentals in Europe. We have to continue paying far more than we should even if random taxes beyond what are added were added to the price of our games.

Hellgate London is a shame, honestly. A friend and I wasted LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTIONS on that game. Think about what that says about my decision making and how its possibly effected my gaming purchases since then.

The WWE Supercard thing interests me...not because I want to play it, because I did and its 100% garbage, but more because how people are willing to play games for extended periods of time that they admit are terrible and they do not like. If I want to waste time I just...you know...read, or play a game I do actually like.

I've played about 2 hours of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter and I don't think it is "spooky" at all. In fact, I think its incredibly boring and it doesn't live up to its promise of being "weird fiction" in my opinion. In fact, I wish I could get my money back from the purchase. The voice acting is pretty bad in much of it. I already know what the ending is going to be since every encounter is the exact same, in terms of outcomes. My character won't be real...he'll be made up. I know he will. If that's not what happens then I'll be flabbergasted.

Okay. That MK2 burial needs to have the person delivering the service to say as the coffin is being lowered into the earth;

The Car Talk guys actually retired 2 years ago, it's just that some radio stations air repeats. It's funny that Brad thinks they sound like they're from New York. It's the complete opposite, they're from the Boston area.

When fully lowered, the coffin is set ablaze. Dan Forden (in attendance) solemnly approaches the microphone...

I had a bad feeling Sunset Overdrive was going to turn out to be pretty underwhelming, so glad to hear at least some optimism on it here.

P-FUNK IN THE HOUSE

Side note: Snoop Dogg did not originally come up with the phrase "bow wow wow wow yippy yo yippy yay". This my friends, was a George Clinton original.

And the guitar in American Badass is just the guitar from Sad But True. Yes, I'm trying to outdo you in "music trivia that literally everyone already knew."

Dan probably shouldn't mention that people are sneaking in to the world series and even if he did he really shouldn't have mentioned his uncle's name. If that gets out I doubt his uncle will have that job for long. There are probably some people who take security seriously over there.
