The Giant Beastcast: Episode 36

We're back after sacrificing some time to the podcast gods. We've got EA making E3 news, Sony make Sony moves, and GameStop doesn't just want to sell you games they want to publish them too.

The Giant Bomb East team gathers to talk about the week in video games, their lives, and basically anything that interests them. All from New York City!

Jan. 29 2016

Posted by: Vinny

Episode Notes:

Austin was referring to the game "The Ice-Bound Concordance" today, not any of the (apparently numerous) games with some variation of "Ice" and "Bound" in the titles.

Damn, I don't know what Vinny was smoking this episode but he needs to smoke more of it. He was HILARIOUS this time. Like, even more than usual!

Am I the only one who knew exactly what Vinny was talking about when he was talking about "trash bear"? I love that cartoon!

Nope, you were not alone, but I'm an old fart.

Confirming old fart here.

GBeast is murdering 2016. God damn.

Confirming. My unpopular opinion is that I did not bother to archive a single Beastcast episode in 2015. 2016: Every one so far.

(Episode numbers still bother me, but whateva.)

Shut the whole website down. This is the best piece of content that could ever hope to be produced. It's only downhill from here.

How do I email the Beastcast Crew, either all four at the same time or individually, aquestion I have for them to answer?

I've tried beastcast@giantbomb.com since December 20th and still it has not been read out.

I've Tweeted to Austin, Alex and Vinnie. Only got a reply back from Austin saying sorry that it has't read yet and they get alot of emails through that address. At first, he thought I emailed it directly to him, which was not the case.

If anyone else knows what else I can do, please let me know. I have a feeling that the more time passes, the trio will forget what I am asking about and are unable to answer my question.

I think Ross Perot Gamestop Employee selling Austin on Song of the Deep is the funniest segment in Beastcast history.

I was like Alex, dying by the end.

Sometimes something goes wrong and the podcast they record is not usable (file got corrupted, recording never started, other tech problems) so they have to redo the podcast.

@migsse: If they haven't read your email after trying as much as you have, and getting a direct response back from Austin about how they can't get to every email, I think you should assume that it's not being read on purpose. Besides, the Beastcast doesn't deal with emails in the same way as the Bombcast, where they can read dozens every week.

Wow! If you haven't been listening to the Beastcast for a while, this episode would be the worst introduction to the Beastcast...but as a long time listener this was AMAZING!

Man, I love you guys but this is nigh incomprehensible. I would definitely check out Rock, Paper, Perot, though.

This might be my favorite podcast. Vinny was just on fire in this thing. I listen to this on the bus and light rail to and from my university and man it was so hard to not just crack up.

But its gotta be Vinny doing his Ross Perot impression playing the boy companion. I'll sign that.

I haven't read a fantasy novel since high school but I think I'm gonna have to finally read The Name of the Wind with how much Vinny is mentioning Patrick Rothfuss.

@error52: Glad I'm not the only confused one. I had to double check what day it was.

I guess because it's tagged E3 2016 it's been pushed to the front?
