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

I wish people would stop regarding the current Atari as the same company that made Pong. If I dug up someone's corpse and started wearing its desiccated skin I wouldn't be regarded as that person either.

@brad I heard "Chris from Austin, Tx" and it wasn't my email that I sent in (although technically I sent it to the Beastcast since they said they haven't been getting many lately.) I've never been so hurt by the internet. Now I feel like I have to find this "mystery Chris" here in town and duel him. Or buy him a beer. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Aren't Koch Media and Koch Industries related in name only? I just though Koch Media founder Franz Koch, just happens to share a name with a bunch of literal Ghouls.

Two weeks in a row now where the thumbnail is just Brad and Jeff.
Two weeks in a row now I've gotten excited that maybe it's just Brad, Jeff and Jan.

Looks like there is some little device under the cup that moves it along. Jeff moves it right behind the cup so you can't get a good look at it.

It seems to be the toy car that Ben was playing with at points during the podcast, like when Jan was talking about his terrible Instagram friends.

for anyone wondering Jeff's Cool Sports water bottle is a Zojirushi and it holds I think 1.03 liters? It might be 2? It looks big enough to hold 2 liters, so maybe the model I looked up also comes in a 2 liter variant.

The keys in Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel are given out for free on the Borderlands facebook page (at least that's where I see them). I don't know if they ever had a buying option for them.

@renegadedoppelganger: "LITERAL ghouls"

If the Koch brothers are digging up cadavers and devouring their flesh, someone should really let the authorities know.

That, or cast "Turn Undead" at the next shareholder's meeting.

The push-pull between corporate and creative is something that is very real. Sounds like the Corporate side of Konami has taken over game development. A lot of these ideas sound like ideas from higher ups who have less to do with actual game creation. Make long cutscenes... have there be zombies... open world... have survival elements. It's too bad. Sounds like it could have used a little longer in the oven too.

For the same reason I'm slightly worried about Death Stranding. If you shift the power to the other side and give too much power to creative than you end up with games that take 6 years or longer. At this point I know I should have faith in Kojima. He has never made a game I didn't like, but part of me is still a little worried. I hope I'm wrong though. And the game comes out before 2022.

I tried, I really tried to resist all these weeks of lasagna talks (I now fucking hate Garfield) mentioning the most random cheeses, and never béchamel (that is what you use for your lasagne, unless you're experimenting), but my soul dies a little every time...I started contemplating buying air-tickets to Bologna for all of them to make them try the real thing...

Also, Ben, I apologize but "fajoul" doesn't mean anything in Italian, "fagioli" is the word for beans and is not pronounced at all the way you like to say it (I'm gonna assume your mean italian grandma was talking in dialect, as most of the italian southerners that emigrated to the USA did)

You guys are breaking me, goddamnit! :D

Wow, they read my email! I can't speak for other venues, but the place I saw TMBG at was the Pageant in St. Louis, which is a pretty big auditorium-type place with a balcony overlooking. It was packed, just like the last time I saw them there. The fact they're touring and doing Dial-a-song again is pretty crazy, even considering most of those songs are just from their new album.
