Giant Bombcast 490: Sometimes Pepperoni, Sometimes Hot Dog

A strange odor wafts through the halls of Giant Bomb, so we huddle in the podcast studio to chat about Splatoon 2, the Ataribox, all the action at EVO, the end (?) of the Miiverse, and the unexpected return of Casey Hudson.

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

Jul. 18 2017

Cast: Jeff, Brad, Ben, Jason

ALL the action at EVO? Let's hear about the KoF grand final!

OH Man that was kinda sweet to see. Xiao Hai since he started playing SFV has had an aura of smirk when playing KoF, yes he was the best of the best, but it shows that if people keep practicing they will catch up and beat the once proclaimed GOD of KoF. Serves you right Xiao, maybe next time be a little humble and dont announce you are going to win that POT. But to be fair by doing that he spiked the viewer interest on the grand finals

I can't believe people haven't just taken to calling it PUB.

PUBG is clunky as hell and PLUNKBAT is too long to be useful.

When Planetside 2 first released, I got my roommate really into it. We referred to it as P-Side often enough that I had to remind him what P-Side even stood for, after a while. Then, we'd fall off for a while until I'd ask him if he was down to play some Planetside, to which he responded, "Huh...?"

Not really sure where that memory came from, but I suppose my point is: a good nickname can carry a surprising amount of significance :P

@unastrike and for Ben (sorry I don't know his username here to tag him too)

Just a heads up on that Tekken talk, Jack is considered mid to upper mid tier in the competitive scene.

The thing about him is that he probably has the best poking toolset in the game, and is relatively easy to use, but you have to have incredibly strong Tekken fundamentals to do well with him, which is part of why he isn't used very often.

If you go back and watch Saint play Jack, he really only uses a handful of moves in the neutral, and they're all relatively safe moves. Anakin on the other hand takes very big risks on some of his reads, mainly his usage of Debugger (that big spinning low punch) that lead to him taking a ton of damage when it was blocked, but also worked out for him fairly often.

Jack's flaws are that his sidestep is pretty gimp up close, and he's not particularly great at escaping up close pressure without making hard reads, which is far from the major flaws of the true bottom tier of Tekken 7 in Lucky Chloe, who has horrendous lows and is very punishable on almost all of her offense, and Gigas, who has both the worst sidestep and the worst backdash in the game.

Premade keto pizza crusts are awful but if you are ever keto again, Ben, look up fathead pizza dough recipe. It's very easy to make and good. It's magical in that you look at the ingredients and wonder how it could ever work but it does. Of course it's not like actual pizza, but it's tasty.

my favorite part of cryptocurrency is Venezuelans using free state power and internet to mine dogecoins and trade rare pepes because the Bolivar is garbage.

Re: Prey.

I was listening to one of the first Bombcasts from March 2008 yesterday. Prey 2 had just been announced (as a direct sequel to the original).

Jeff: "Yeah, sequel to Prey. Maybe it will take them nine years to make this one too."

Yep. Almost nine years exactly.

They should bring Mary Kish in to talk about marketing and social media. She was producing videos on Social Media Content Strategy and SEO before she joined Gamepsot. I bet she has some disgusting things to say about that junk.

I'm so glad to hear more about Prey. I really hope they come around on it by GOTY time. It's honestly in contention for first place. Between that and Zelda for me easily.

TL;DR: "Digital marketing" is a clicker.
