Giant Bombcast 11-10-2009

Brad has fun in Chinatown, Jeff flashes his firmware, Ryan gets Rabbid, Vinny returns a changed man, and we all talk a lot of Modern Warfare 2 in this week's edition of the Giant Bombcast.

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

If thats what you think, your life is pretty sad. I mean i wouldnt mind a review a day late because one of the most important guys of this site had one of the most important day of his life!
 
I mean who will remember MW2 in 10 years? 20 years? I mean the marriage of a friend of way more important to me than the release of the most important video game of the year by FAR.

I agree.  We all knew the game would be 5 stars anyway and Vinny's wedding seems way more important.  Though maybe Jeff and Ryan did not get invited to his wedding!!

@demonbear: I'm not saying I think that way. I think they should have went. I'm just assuming.
 
And I do think people will remember MW2 in 10 to 20 years. People still remember certain big name Atari games and NES games. Those games are getting near 20 to almost 30 years old at this point.

Congrats Vinny, but why didn't you invite your Giantbomb colleagues to the wedding. 
 
I figured with MW2 coming out, that this podcast wouldn't be as long. Still pretty good cast. Enjoy MW2, I know I will.

I really hope that they do a MW2-dedicated podcast, 'cause I actually played and finished MW2...unlike MGS4.

Hey Jeff! if you're interested in Borderlands gun creation as much as i am and all the prefix's and titles that make them up including all the parts. Check out the Borderlands Wiki. Somone finally updated it and they knew what the hell they were talking about.
 
Still being updated everyday, but yeah, im glad it's in depth as it is because for weeks i've been going "Grrr! the loot doesn't work like that morons!"
 
But its kind of obsolete when you can kinda do it your self in game.
 
EDIT: Oh for crying out loud, someone edited the interesting stuff outta the wiki to do with Weapon Body Types/Names and they're stats....unless it's been taken down to edit, the people on that wiki seem to fight like children.

Thats crazy.  I thought Vinny was gay.  Like all the other guys...  Hence the rainbow and Jeff and Ryan eying each other's lips when making videos.

Might it be that they are putting that data in a guide? Could also be that a user copy pasted all that info from another site. Well on of the wiki mods should no about it so you might want to ask them.

I actually dissagree about the "being amazing at COD4 will mean your amazing at MW2" because from what iv played so far, although it feels similar, the way the controls feel is different enough to make a difference. The biggest thing about the last game is that there were maybe 2 or 3 guns as well as 3 or 4 perks that were just vastely superior to the rest. So people just got amazing with those guns and perks and never deviated. Although you can consentrate on one gun in the same way, i feel like IW spent a lot of time making all the perks and all the guns balance really well (almost like a fighting game) so that there isnt one gun or perk that is better than all the rest. Maybe thats just my opinion. 
 
But either way that game is fucking awesome. I jizzed in my pants when i got home and started playing it, then didnt stop till 6 in the morning lol.

Congatulations, Vinny.  How you managed to bag a lady while working in the gaming industry is a remarkable feat.  BTW, you left out two of the all-time greatest Mets of the eighties... Mr. Moustache (Keith Hernandez) and (Mr. Crack Cocaine) Darryl Strawberry.  They were definitely a cast of characters.

Mets????
 I almost got killed by my professor because I was wearing a Mets cap. It was obviously at that moment, he was a Yankees fan. Welcome back Vinny.
