Okay, so...long conversations about what is or is not a thumbs up mean very little when you can't see what's happening.

What's the difference with the premium version?

Also, is there no way to get the premium podcasts on my podcast app on my phone like I do the regular stuff?

You don't get ads. Most people don't care about premium for the bombcast as the ads are considered a feature but it is there for those that don't want them. You can add them by using:

and

I really like it when they don't talk about games. I'd rather listen to Jeff, Brad, Drew, and Dan yap about TV for 3 hours.

Yeah. If you listen to the premium Bombcast, you missed out on the "Hey, Small Business Man" skits.

If Jeff had said papaya one more time I'm pretty sure my brain would still be drowning in epinephrine.

Ya know I think they've convinced me.

Get David Wise off that soundtrack, he doesn't belong.

Don't choose between Grant Kirkhope and David Wise. It's like trying to decide between Peanut Butter and Chocolate.

TWO GREAT TASTES THAT TASTE GREAT TOGETHER PEOPLE.

In response to the Sega news segment: Nah, there's no way that they start promoting Persona 5 at TGS. The game's coming out this year—presumably both in North America and Japan—and we already know there's going to be the Blu-ray on June 25th. I honestly think there's a genuine chance that the game has a higher E3 presence than many think.

Nice podcast. Though, I can't say that last week's didn't leave me wanting.

And, heh, a lot of faction war kind of discussion. "Grant Kirkhope vs. David Wise" and "Ratchet vs. Jak and Daxter."

but can you surely say that having not experienced they noises together? These two tracks with "Jungle" in the title don't go together at all.

And I think Grant's Jungle is better.

Segas handling promtions for persona? Oh shit, yeah, doesn't Sega have a stake in Atlus?

No ads. It's possible to get them on your phone if you enter in the RSS feed provided on the webpage, then go into Advanced Settings and enter your login info. (I use BeyondPod, and it offers a built-in tool for feeds with usernames/passwords.)

Taylor Swift's Style four times an hour makes commercial radio sounds great.

I really didn't get the Taylor Swift hype in this episode. Honestly, Shake It Off is a bland pop song (it feels like 2.5 minutes of build up to no climax, and an abhorrent rap break.), and the comparison to Hey Ya is pretty treasonous. (I'm not a huge Outcast geek, but I have a hard time anybody will remember SiO in a decade.) Blank Space is better, still not exceptional. Never even heard Style.
 
Please no more politics discussions. Somehow Dan's Arnold for President thing wasn't even the worst opinion in the segment.

Character models in Q3 actually lean forward as they go faster. Go fast enough and you look like superman, except your legs are still kicking.

In what bizzaro world do you compare Kirkhope and Wise and attribute the word "lame" to the latter? Jesus Christ. JESUS CHRIST.

Enjoy your dumbass bass tubas and cartoon xylophones, I'm over here tripping balls to some dark synth and sick Wise beats.

Jeff talking Taylor Swift? Drew talking Destiny? So many surprises.

Also, I have that Destiny Platinum and yes, it was not easy.

I want to make a compilation of Brad asking "Is this the year?" in terms of Call of Duty losing public interest. I feel like he has been saying it since the first Black Ops.

Also I'm surprised Brad reacted somewhat dismissively when Jeff commented about getting back into Marvel Heroes. After his Destiny experiences I thought he'd be more into games with loot.

He's good, but not the right fit Yooka.

Grant is way better too.

This should exist because, as he said it himself, he's been saying it literally every year for a while now. Call of Duty's going to continue to be massive for the unforeseen future.

And come on, Drew being the third offender?

If it was anyone, it was Dan himself.

I'm in the same place in Bloodborne as Brad, but I'm taking a break to play Far Cry 4. I got tired of the Chalice Dungeons after a while and the last ones sound really hard, so I may never get the Platinum unless I can get someone to play with me and do the hard work.

You guys haven't experienced true hell until you played the Defiled Chalice dungeons. Godspeed Bradley.

That dungeon is complete bullshit, it's the only time throughout my entire playthrough of any Souls game where I've felt "this is unfair". There's absolutely no justification for them cutting your HP in half, and it doesn't happen in the main game either. Complete garbage.
 
Whoa how did I not know jeff was in a band/rap crew? He opened for run DMC at some point?

Do we have any clips or any other time he's talked about it?
