Giant Bombcast 456: The Littlest Mac

Up here in Canada we have the double big mac which has 4 mac patties, it is a good burger and goes well with a large fries, especially if you want to bring on a food coma.

@ilkanta: I was about to say the same thing. Granted all the attention on the starters have been on Popplio and Rowlet while poor Litten barely gets a mention. Also, Dan probably didn't pay attention to what the evolutions of these Pokemon were just so he can witness the evolutions without knowing anything in order to make the experience more exciting.

That said, Dan needs to see Incineroar! It's literally a Heel Wrestler Pokemon who knows moves like Darkest Lariat!

Why does the intro music sound like it has a cold?

@tfarchive: Oh shit, I didn't realize that was only a Canadian thing. Figured something that had to have originated in the States!

Pictures of high calorie food that will be on my screen for multiple hours. Not sure I'm cut out for this.

The Dishonored tweet Jeff was talking about came from (Gunpoint creator) Tom Francis. His thread of gifs from the game is wonderful: https://twitter.com/Pentadact/status/797218870700474368

Also I am staggered at Dan not picking the Wrestler starter Pokémon. This is why you don't just go in blind!

Effective bacon.

I would also hope for the very unlikely possibility of merging PSN accounts like Jeff because I got so tired of waiting around to change a name I really hated I just let my PSN Plus lapse and made a new PSN account.

…instead, trick him into talking more about birds. It's utterly hilarious every time. XD

I want that Homer shirt, holy shit.

And I feel that Dan has gotten away with shit that would have gotten me fired all his life.

@mocbucket62: I tweeted at him and linked him some of the trailer vids of Incineroar, at the very least he deserves to know that pokemon exists. It was literally made for him.

Jeff trying to explain slash fiction without saying the words "gay" or "queer" ?

It's ok, you can say it.

@jeffgerstmann I've been listening to this podcast for 9 years, but I think I'll finally stop my gold subscription. Fast food talk has become the Brand in a way it was never before. It has gone from a side-joke to the primary content. Judging from the message board, I am the minority, idk.

@danryckert you can't catch starter Pokemon in the wild. Ever

You'll need to trade to get a popplio

Also merging accounts from different regions. Sony missed a trick not allowing us to change regions like you can on Xbox Live.

Someone please figure this out!

Pizza Hut wings are WingStreet. WingStop is a separate brand entirely. Also, I agree with the listener. Buffalo Wild Wings is terrible.

Dan, time to start over so you can get Incineroar, the "Heel" Pokemon with the signature move "dark lariat".

Jason is spot-on about Dishonored 2. The actual story, voice acting and the "mystery" is too slow and unimpactful. The conflict is rushed and plot holes are just swiped under a rag. The environmental storytelling on the other hand is just amazing. Songs sung on the street about silver mine dust, an apartment dedicated to cracking the code of outsider's marks, a patient report and a diary on a certain npc from the first game... so much detail and depth to be appreciated for a patient player. But man... this contrast is so painful all the way through the game, especially when the horrible lines are delivered by an out of place voice actor. The most disappointing thing here, If you played the DLC of the first game, is that 80% of the story is just copied from that and instead of being slow-burn comes off as lazy. Delilah is more fleshed-out in 2 missions of the first game than during 9 missions here.

What's the modern vector graphics game that Brad and Jeff were talking about?

Holy shit, Jeff has the shirt.

Vec 9

Taco John's six pack and a pound is pretty great. It's six tacos - oft or hard shell - and a pound of tater tots. So good.

@tfarchive said:

Yeah, I got confused about this. America doesn't have the Double Big Macs/Quater Pounders? Everything I knew about America is a lie.

Thank you, I just ordered butt help.

Damnit these burgers are making me thirsty

Give me one of those "large macs".

Nah you are not alone in this. Over the years i have become more and more annoyed by it as well, to the point where i now just fast forward 30 seconds at a time until i just reach the spot where that sidetrack talk is over.

These guys especially Jeff and Brad are so entertaining to listen to when they really get into the nitty gritty details of the different aspects of gaming. Like the recent Beastcast where Jeff was on, what an amazing podcast that was.

I get they cant be that serious all the time, and the humor is definitely also a big factor of why i come back. But as you i just cant take any of the food stuff anymore, just doesn't do anything for me personally. Others are of course free to enjoy it, different strokes.

Here in Japan we had the Giga Mac...4 hamburger patties of mistake

@arawk: That looks ... dry.

I liked the McDonald's Pizza. But It took to long to cook. By the time the cashier brought out my pizza, the rest of my family was done eating.

Man if Dan is having so much fun with the Gears 4 horde mode surely he would have a blast playing Call of Duty Zombies! It's like horde but with more options!

another thumbnail with fries in it! All hail our glorious fries overlords.

@tfarchive: McDonalds burgers and fries are terrible here in Canada, just bland trash. They need to bring back those pizzas.

These comments juxtaposed with this one that was on the video podcast post:

"It might be time for a new podcast host. Brad is starting to police the fun like an old lady. His political depression, hatred for the weird, and refusal to go off topic for more than 10 seconds are killing multiple potentially great bits. The last podcast that Jeff hosted was a much smoother listen."

I'm totally in the camp of "the more off topic, the better" and I don't understand anyone who wants to listen to strictly one thing for 3 hours. Have at it, but I don't/won't understand it.

Where is this jackbox homer drawing tshirt thing?

Here in Alaska we call that the Denali Mac (formally McKinley Mac) http://mcdonalds.wikia.com/wiki/McKinley_Mac

Truth right here, my Wings-brother.

@dave_tacitus: It wasn`t, but it was too much meat. I definitely felt ill for the rest of the day.

confusing wing stop with wing street has bothered me more than i'd like to admit.

that's.... not what all of slash is....

"the center of the earth is a giant t-1000"

i'm dead.

@scientificpizza: Uh, yeah it is https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slash_fiction

@arawk: I'm holding out for the Terra Mac.

It is very difficult to eat large burger , sometime it looks embarrasing.

See this link.

Brad Spoilmaker strikes again.

We can all remember the Arch Deluxe dance...I'm sure.

@frytup: For real! Man I'm trying to give up shit food in an effort to gradually become less fat, and these bastards make me want to pull into a McD's every time I listen.
