Best game with idiots and butts.

Featuring ghostship aftermath and lovely planet. Maybe also pineview overdrive. There was a butt in there.
 
no matter what happens, i'm glad that it appears we're in the post-brad-filibustering world.

because between skyrim and minerva's den i thought brad was going to choke some fools. that stuff was rough to listen to.
 
Dan should do some Encyclopedia Bombasticas of the PS2 Ace Combat games because as far as I can tell GB has only quick looked 'Ace Combat Assault Horizon'.

Edit: Next crowdfunding effort: Raise money for Bombcast in Space.
 
It dawned on me last night, exactly how amazing the GOTY discussion bombcasts now that Dan is on the team.

Brad: "I'd like to nominate DOTA 2 for best moba"
Dan: "Nope! Thats a stupid game for babies, and dorks."
Brad: "What?"

He also hates Assassin's Creed games.

Is "dork" a really popular word in Minnesota or Kansas City? I've noticed that Dan uses it constantly instead of nerd or geek, and even used it when referring to Michelangelo's David. I can't remember the last time I heard someone use dork as a euphemism for penis.
 
Yes, yes somebody needs to do it! The best part is that the conversation had almost moved on. ALMOST. Then Dan just slides in there.

Dan: Sunshine's better than 64.

Drew: SAVE US! SAVE US BRAD!

Brad: I have another email, stop tal-

Jeff: NO IT FUCKING ISN'T!

Damn it, probably one of my all-time favorite Bombcast moments.

I agree, one of the best moments. Even in text form it makes me laugh.

Only 2 minutes into Elite: Dangerous QL and the game itself looks really awesome. Definitely going to get this one it's released.

Pretty sure they weren't allowed to curse on Game Informer content, so he's wired his brain to say "Dork" instead of "Dick" so they wouldn't need to bleep him

That's actually not a bad theory. I mean, it used to be used for that... but before Dan was born. Unless it somehow survived to present day in pockets of the midwest.

Agreed.

The game looks incredible, particularly the hyperjump, UI presentation, and bobblehead. Though, I hope you can upgrade to nice big ships in it, as that's always been my favourite aspect of these types of games.

The only element that is a bummer to me is the always online aspect of it... I would prefer a more focused singleplayer-sorta game like Tachyon: The Fringe. (Bruce Campbell voice acting wouldn't hurt, either.)
 
I think Giant Bomb is pretty close to as great as it ever has been, but am I the only one who finds Bombing the AM completely unwatchable when it's only Alex and Patrick on these days? I used to think it was fine, but it's gone completely stale for me. I'll watch it when they have a guest on, but the format doesn't work at all for me when it's only them going through the motions. I wish they'd mix it up a little more than "I enjoyed media x this weekend and then I worked on article Y". Then again I pretty much stopped watching them so I wouldn't know if they actually made any changes. Okay I'm rambling now. I'll shut up.


I think Kleptok and the Wolf do great work outside of Bombin the AM though.
 
Yeah, I mostly skip it now. I liked it a lot at first, and when they have guests I check it out, but a lot of the time it seems a little too much like them talking at each other instead of having actual discussions.

I put it on as background noise and there's usually one or two points they make that are worth watching to me, but it's pretty far down on my list of favorite features.

I think most of the conversation is Patrick talking and then Alex saying "I agree", then on to the next point.
 
Guys if we give more views to TV Guide in order to satiate our thirst for Vinny, CBS might take him away from us and have him do just voice-overs.

In order to preserve Vinny, we must ignore our animal urges and only watch sanctioned Vinny videos on Giantbomb.

It's like when your girlfriend is much better/attractive than you and the only way for you to keep her is to ruin her self esteem by making her feel like she is worthless. #TeamCanseco #1ReasonToBe


Dem puns
 
Hate to criticize the vinndogg, but dude's not putting his heart into this. im expecting a 9 but getting a 4 from these tv guide videos. he needs to ham this up some more.
 
Jeff and Alex being in music videos, Vinny doing voice work for TV, it's only a matter of time until Dan shows up as a judge on a Iron Chef or Patrick is on one of those house flipping shows.
