Giant Bombcast 10/28/2014

We're fresh (?!) off of Extra Life to recap strategies for stayin' up all night, Drew's globetrotting adventures, more on Sunset Overdrive, the not-very-mysterious identity of Quartermann, Xbox price drops, and the gastric processes of vampires.

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

I would love to have Jason as a full time Bombcaster. Bring back the five man podcast!

Yup, came here to post this. Please keep Jason on!

Also lets get Danny in on this, and maybe even Mary Kish - she says some crazy fucking things!

I also would really like for Jason to be on full time!

@manlypup: This is the ad version but it doesn't matter; there are RSS feeds for the premium podcasts as well.

Now I am imagining Jeff wearing nothing but his underwear and pasties during his mixlr streams. Is this the true power of an audio-only medium?

Someone tell me how you subscribe to a premium feed again please

If you use iTunes, you can copy the RSS feed URL and paste it into "Subscribe to Podcast." You may have to input your GB credentials to verify that you're a premium member; just remember to check the box that saves that info, so it doesn't pop up every time you refresh the feed.

Another entertaining Bombcast! Thanks y'all! I did my best to catch some of your Extra Life stream while hosting Game Informers. I did see Jason pop into GI's Twitch chat!

@brad Pay no attention to the fighting game community tournaments and that's what you get. PS3 being the defacto console for tournaments? And you said it with such authority too. So glad Jason is on the staff to shut down poor fighting game Quick Looks and your spreading of misinformation.

We're lucky to have him! His, Lisa's, Samantha's and Ian's 24 hour stream this weekend was my favourite of the 4.

@murdoc_: 3, like it's been for a while. There's an ad free version for Premium members, or you can skip about a minute in the normal version.

3 in total and none of them before it started like they usually do. Would've preferred they did Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist first as I've a vested interest in seeing that get as many copies bought as possible, but I'll take it over nothing!

My father fought in Vietnam back in the 60's, and I found Drew's discussion to be disconcerting.

Last week and this week the Premium Podcast is not showing up in my podcast app. The Premium morning shows are working fine, but the Bombcast is no where to be found. What's going on?

Is a Premium Podcast without advertisement still a Thing? Can You say about that in a Podcast, please?

Brad, please, cut adverts & post it with sign "Premium".

Casting my vote in for the A-Striker as a permanent member, such a chill dude. perfect counterpoint to the fantastic madman that's Dan Ryckert.

Thanks, guys! Jason is great on the podcast, and it sounds like he may be a legitimate anime editor.

You know if you guys were to quit this whole video game theme to giant bomb and switch to some sort of travel documentary site with Drew as the host, i'd be all the way in to that.

Jeff's creepy "I NEED THIS" voice is always welcome, as is Jason A. Striker.

Brad, please, cut adverts & post it with sign "Premium".

I was wondering about that myself. It was cheesy enough the ad-version was usually available before the ad-less-version, but now no ad-less premium version?

Fuck ads.

I don't know how Jeff comes to the idea about PSO2 - there was plenty of people in chat during the livestream who are waiting just like me for the real English release and Jason is proof right there next to him. Come on SEGA!

Yeah, no... The likelihood is that server content will be year(s) behind, akin to the SEA version, and anyone who actually actively plays doesn't want to go back to anything prior to Ep. 3, which added and changed a ton of content for the better.

@sjack: Maybe it's because I was so young and didn't think about games as critically when 1 & 2 came out that I like them better than 3. I still remember 3 having terrible pacing though, especially towards the back end of the campaign. I don't have an Xbox this gen though so I won't be seeing any Halo anytime soon.

@johnnyhalo666:

As somebody who played it 3, CE and than 2, I can tell you that 3 has the most well varied and fun designed levels out of those 3, that's slightly mired by a very shitty second to last level. CE was fun for me for the first two thirds, but the game over stays its welcome by about three hours and a lot of the time it feels like I'm going through giant empty, multi-player maps. And 2, to me personally, was straight up garbage, and this was somebody who going with genuine interest with the campaign and curiousity to play the Arbiter's side. Those are at least the impressions of somebody who came a bit late into the series and had to work back from 3.

Ah ha!

I just grab through the RSS, didn't see they changed it up. There just were no longer Bombcasts in the Giant Bomb premium podcast feed. Like @splitshock was intimating, it could have been made clearer!

I continue to say: FUCK ADS!

@zauberhut: Thanks.

When I try to subscribe in my podcast app (Podkicker Pro on Android) I get the following error:

Could not subscribe. Unable to resolve host "podcast-xml": No host associated with host name.

Anyone know what my problem is?

Im seeing the same thing in Podcast Addict on Android. I imagine its just not built to allow a separate login to RSS feed. Its worked for the Free feed forever.
