Giant Bombcast 535: Our Crazy Apocalypse

I already did this quest

Can't wait for the Great E3 Drive of 2018.

Hello everyone, it is a Tuesday.

I love that this is the catchphrase of my favorite podcast having listened to everyone of these on a Wednesday for the last 5 years. Looking forward to hearing Alex get back to grips with California. As a Brit-abroad I can sympathize. Going home is always weird.

Alex is here. Looking forward to the Mixlr drive on Friday.

Good way to kill the day off

hmmmm video?

BoatTech!

Is there a video for this coming up or is this one an audio only because of E3 and stuff?

yay!

Awwwww yeah.

Oh, just realized the looming E3 likely means another Mixler travel stream.

Alex starring through my soul

@vodsel: Video is up!

can't wait for your e3 coverage!

ALEX!

Alex is such a delight. Love this guy.

It was live on camera, so I'm assuming the video version will be posted soon.

Rebranding the site as Giant Bomb Badman, I see.

Alex, the opposite of BADMAN

What is the water bottle Jeff is using on the podcast?

In terms of leaked and unconfirmed games, the big mystery is what the hell "Gears 5" is from the Walmart list. Is it:

actually Gears 5?

rumored spinoff that's similar to xcom?

battle royale? Polygon was saying there are rumors 3 Gears games might be revealed. Crazy.

Alex is the best.

there's already a class based battle royale. it's called real life mother fucker

anyway that battlerite/paragons/etc bit should absolutely be in best of giant bomb

Kingdom Hearts Go... Away. Podcast's over. Sorry, Jan.

There's a wolf among us.

Anybody making a road trip through Texas should always stop at Buc-ee's.

Is the game they got an embargo email on Jurassic World Evolution?

I roll my eyes every time they bring up the "Europe's weird idea of America" like that isn't the exact same case when American games try to depict Europe.

Cheetos are defined as "cheese-flavored puffed cornmeal snacks"

Jeff is wrong on this one. A chip and a puff are different things! Just getting that off my chest.

What Brad meant "with the Inception water stuff" is The Crew 2, which is kinda good this time around. Played the beta and enjoyed it a lot.

Ben Pack, on a hypothetical Bungie gacha game: "It's crazy, Thomas Jefferson is a big lion..."

Is this the first time someone on GB has namedropped FGO?:

Speaking of MegaMan...are we ever going to see more Blue Bomber?

That jokey Watch Dogs 3 crypto thing is believable enough to be both very funny and sad at the same time.

This was a great Podcast! Glad to see some of the guys play Yoku's Island Express and enjoy it! Also Jeff on the inside scoop for Vinny's most anticipated game of 2018 (Team Sonic Racing).

Ha! Knew they’d do this...was listening to last week’s cast just as the Kotaku news had come in about Fallout 76. The gang speculated about what it might be. Though they all admitted they had ‘no clue’ about what the new game would be (not only that, but made very specific guesses that turned out to be wrong), on this week’s podcast one of the staff (Jeff) says “Yeah this lines up with things we’d been hearing.” If you’d heard rumours prior, why not say those? They have ABSOLUTELY mentioned rumours and leaks they have heard about before, plus there’s no embargo here, just gossip. I’m only pointing it out as it’s a tendency I’ve noticed that games journalists in many outlets have: always wanting to seem to be in the know, even when they aren’t. Not sure if this is a competitive thing, but if it’s gotten so noticeable that a listener can call it a week in advance....just sayin.

The very same thing I actually shouted when I saw the thumbnail.

Thank you for putting the games talked about into a list on the page.

Guys, this is the 7th Mario Tennis game...

I think the MOBA game Jeff was trying to think of was Paragon.

Every puff is a chip but not every chip is a puff.

It's funny Ben went back to MM7 and didn't like it. I've dug into the collections on Switch and I have to say, Mega Man 7 has been the only game from the classic series to click with me at all. I would actually say I kind of enjoy it

@benpack@bradx0r

What's the pinball game you were talking about?

They didn't have any musings about the newest RDR2 announcement? How odd!
