I'm surprised that Jeff did not like the GTA 4 DLCs. Especially since Gay Tony was pretty much back to (almost) San Andreas levels of stupid fun shit to do.

 

[FStop7]

Gay Tony also brought some graphical improvements, as a friend pointed out to me. Smoke effects, for example - big difference pre and post GT.

 

[Dany]

Drew! *blushes*

 

[Mahonay]

I'm also in favor of the new ILM. We get far more memorable moments from them than we did from the old style.

Then again, I tend to prefer the more improvised GB stuff over the tightly produced stuff. I think the spontaneity brings a lot of energy and humor to the proceedings.

Could not agree more.

The new I Love Mondays are vastly improved and more interesting than their former incarnations.

 

[Jintor]

I tried to get into Lost and the Damned. Between Rockstar Social Club (or possibly GFWL) repeatedly eating my saves and it just kind of being not much fun, I didn't even bother booting up Gay Tony.

Yeah I never really cared for Lost and Damned either but I loved Gay Tony.

 

[Jintor]

You sold me on the GTA talk, but Jeff talking about his colour-blindness is fucking fascinating

 

[Felix Lighter]

I've seen images representing what a color blind person sees and if they are accurate, it is weird.

Heads-up for non-subs: Jeff mentioned the classic games stream this week is still not certain (although I think this Jar Time was recorded on Sunday?) and if it does happen, it will most likely be NOT archived on the main site. Be forewarned!

You missed out, sir.

Although, I assume that if they use the Giant Bomb Twitch.tv account it'll be archived on there?

Then again, if it's subscriber only then we'll never have access to the Twitch.tv side.

I'll be flying on Friday, so I hope I'll be able to see it.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Yeah definitely. But some people don't like Twitch for archives. So, if it happens, watch it live, is what I'm saying!

I doubt it would be sub-only. The other ones weren't.

 

[Typographenia]

Their office looks incredibly messy in that video. Wanted to say filthy, but I'm assuming there's not a bunch of rotting food or whatever underneath all of those boxes

Someone should mail them one of those roomba vacuum things. It'd be broken after the first hour, but what a magical hour it would be!

edit:
This probably doesn't belong here, but just saw this posted on twitter. Is this new new news, or am I just way out of the loop?

edit 2: Also, congrats to them both. : )

Jars Attacks! - 12/18/2012
Some questions get answered, but it's mostly a bunch of Grand Theft Auto talk.

Jeff looks like Cool Baby all grown up with those glasses on, heh.

 

[ServBotPhil]

What happened to Brad's prediction to the end of ME3? Was it talked about during last week's podcast?

 

[Duffyside]

I want to congratulate and thank Jeff for single-handedly making content for the website this week.

Spoiler

Also a sad shake-of-my-head at the other staff who are non-video duders.

[Zaph]

Any of you guys following this The War Z drama? If it wasn't already a clusterfuck, Alex just found out via twitter it's made by the developer of...Big Rigs. His next tweet was "I want to talk to this motherfucker".

But it looks like Dan Stapleton already beat him to the punch with an interview for the record books: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/the-war-z/1226980p1.html (good luck reading that without hearing a terrible eastern block accent in your head).

 

[Jintor]

Seriously an amazing interview.

Actually, i think this is something I want to hear the Thumbs talk about.

 

[Aaron]

Big Rigs dev? That's terrifyingly appropriate.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

You know what I just realized, wasn't an MMO about the close at the end of 2012?
And where they not planning on covering that?

Can't remember witch one doh, anyone?

 

[Infinite Justice]

Hey jeff that thing looked purple to me but hey...

 

[neomike]

whew, what a phone-in of a bomb cast.

first Patrick sucks all the life out of the room with his sports shit that everyone politely tolerates, and then it never really picks up from there. what a drag. at least he didn't go off on any completely wrong tangents about the industry this time (well he did kind of, once, but I think I already blocked it out). what a terrible fit that guy is. jesus.

 

[dimb]

That was easily the best part for me. I'm not even huge on sports.

 

[Jintor]

I don't think neomike really fits into this giantbomb community. What a terrible add to this thread.

 

[Alfredo]

Remember when Ice-T and Giant Bomb were gonna do some kind of thing together? I wonder what that was going to be...

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Hey jeff that thing looked purple to me but hey...

That was totally blue bro.

He's a junior, he'll learn.

City Of Heroes shut down last month. Jeff already said on his Tumblr page that it was unlikely they would do anything for it.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I think the closure of that snuck up on them a bit too late.

Plus it has to be said, it wasn't as high-profile as the other ones they did.

 

[GolazoDan]

I like Patrick and his contributions to Giant Bomb.

And thus, conflict.

 

[Rapstah]

Youtube randomly recommended me a video of Gamespot's E3 2005 impressions, and the video contains Jeff's impressions of New Super Mario Bros. Kind of funny to see that with what he thinks now, although what of NSMB that was at E3 2005 was a little different from how the final game ended up.

Thanks for that

As if the matrix was high profile?
They MADE it high profile by they're coverage.

Literally... They said they would have to ask the staff to come in to the office at midnight on a week day to do the stream, doesn't make any sense.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

What's the origins of this picture?

And the origins of lucha Brad?

 

[Rapstah]

Used as a transition in one of the last episodes of How to Build a Bomb, fittingly somewhere around where they talk about what they can do with a greenscreen.

I'm still going through those, okay thanks for the info!

Almost done with the GOTY casts from last year (re-listening) and man, the fact that Mortal Kombat didn't make the list is a travesty. Especially after they all agree that it redefines storytelling in fighting games. And Ryan keeling over so quickly for Skyrim is ridiculous.

As we gear up for the new year, let's take a look back at some of our favorite GB content:

Not my favorite, but searching for Deus Ex quicklook, I rediscovered this gem: http://www.giantbomb.com/coffee-kids-and-games/17-5876/

Literally... They said they would have to ask the staff to come in to the office at midnight on a week day to do the stream, doesn't make any sense.

I thought that the COH end wasn't "crazy" like the Matrix Online or SWG and they just shut off the servers, makes sense that they wouldn't feel the need to record in that case, could be wrong about that though

And broke the thing people actually care about in fighting games.

There's some new "podcasts" on the beta site:

"Jeff checks in with new preview information on Halo 4 and God of War: Ascension."

"Jeff Gerstmann tells the world of CBS Radio listeners about Fez."

"Patrick speaks with the designer of Papo & Yo about his experience creating an interactive metaphor about his life."

Fortunately, he supports a team that only plays between September and December which limits his sports talk.

 

[Turnstyle]

I'd love Jeff's Jar videos to be available as podcasts too.

Yeah, I could rip the audio myself, but I am so lazy.

My butler is typing this.

Do you use an iPhone? If so, the Giant Bomb app 'Video Buddy' (best thing ever made by the GB community) can basically do this with one tap. There's an Android version too, but I haven't used it so I'm not sure if it has the same features.

Thank you sir, I will inform my master of this 'Video Buddy' of which you speak, as soon as I have finished polishing the silverware.

 

[Jintor]

I kind of want to try to make a quad city DJs v bombcast mashup

where can I get the music? I guess I could just rip it out of the cast...
