subtly shitting on that GAF thread about too much chit-chat in video game podcasts right in the beginning. 8-4 Play did that last week too. HAHAHAHA.
 
I feel like I have a headache before even turning this on. Holy shit, this is going to be madness!
 
Premium users might want to listen to the regular bombcast this week because apparently the ads in this are worth hearing.

I'm a new premium user, how do the premium episodes work? Is it a hidden feed I can get in my podcast app? And is there extra content or just no ads?

Just mouse over the Podcasts section above the player, and it's the second link below the Bombcast.

I don't think it's available on anything other than an RSS feed, iTunes version is always non-premium, and as far as I'm aware it's just no ads on the premium version. I could be wrong, but it's definitely most of the time.

Valuable tip, thanks.

I've been really enjoying the premium cast for the last few weeks, but was kind of hoping for a reason to download regular cast, having heard about this week's lineup.

No extra content, just no ads. You can add the feed to your podcast app of choice, I'm on my phone now but I'm sure someone else can provide you with the relevant URL. If not just search Google, it should be pretty easy to find both on the GB subreddit and on the GB forum.

If you are a giant bomb premium member you can download podcasts without ads, besides that it's the exact same podcast. If you have a podcast app you can add this to your podcast's RSS feed filling in your account information:

I'm travelling with work in three hours and just can't fall asleep. So might as well listen to this and then crash when I get home about 8pm tomorrow. Sounds like a fantastic plan to me.
 
I love Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, but I really hope they find a way to add more modules and more complicated manuals soon. I've played the game for an hour and a half or so, and it just gets really boring when you get good at it.

Granted, I'm not playing it with family and friends and drinks, just over skype with some non-local friends, but once you get the hang of things it becomes very routine.
