I actually stopped listening to the Bombcast ads a bit after Small Business Man left because they stopped being entertaining. Are they good again?

nah

 

[popo]

Drew would not concern me in a bar fight. He is physically fit but that pretty face doesn't look like it has taken many punches.

As for the podcast ads. Jeff is giving it his all but the material sucks. There is only so much you can do to shill the type of crap that advertises on podcasts. Razors by mail, Hipster Box, Shit Crate and Baseball scam-site. At least they are making it pay.

 

[Nishastra]

I could watch Vinny and Alex play Affordable Space Adventures all day.

 

[RepairmanJack]

I listen to all the ads. I applaud the commitment to an ad-free version of the podcast.

The only thing that bums me out is the lack of break music.

We're robbed of the best break music ever. Before I had to reset my phone a few times it was my ringtone. Haven't bothered to look for it since though.

Maybe that's because he's so good he never gets hit in a fight. He's like that guy who just flows out of the way and then kicks your ass.

Did you consider that?

 

[strafer]

Why would you hit Drew? He's like the nicest guy in the world.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I mean the ads are like 1-2 minutes of a 3 hour show.

Not really bothered by them enough to skip it.

 

[danm999]

I guess people who start fights in bars tend not to be overly concerned with how nice the person they're hitting is.

Crunchyroll has a "random show" button, I think Jeff Brett should watch an episode of something random, try to describe the plot, and use that as the ad.

Anyone actually have the old break music for iPhone on hand? Wouldn't mind a new alarm ring for the morning.

they become bothersome when the same company does ads on like 4-5 of the podcasts i listen to. Naturebox, Me Undies, etc. I mean, me remembering their names must prove that the ads are working but now i skip them completely on all of my podcasts, regardless of whether the show does a good job with the ad or not.

This could actually be great. If it was random episode of random show it would be even better.

Yeah that can be annoying. I find there's a lot of crossover in particular between the Bombcast and Comedy Bang Bang.

 

[avengers23]

Sure, I've never done this before.

We each bet on whom we believe the winner of Mario Party Party 4 will be. If our choice does not win, we will have to wear the winner's picture as an avatar for 28 days.

If it ends without a winner, we must wear a Yoshi avatar for 28 days.

I'm betting on Jeff.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I would never answer any calls!

[EDIT - What about those already wearing Yoshi avatars?

I think the interesting meta game is whether Brad will finish dead last for the fourth straight time.]

For sure. The only ads I listen to anymore are the Hollywood Handbook ones. Sean and Hayes do hilarious stuff with them

It was really hard to not wait for the second part of the song where it kind breaks down. Not really sure how else to describe that. :lol

Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying. Usually not that bothered by it though.

I just want it to drop him into a random episode of Gintama.

Alright I think we need a new feature

Did Medaka Box ever get an anime? If it got into the later episodes it would be hilarious to see Jeff get randomly dropped into one of the later fights.

 

[skLaFarebear]

or Strike the Blood

Or episode 8 of nisemonogatari.

I think I remember seeing it on there. I have 0 idea what that show even is.

 

[SteveWinwood]

i remember picking an anime at random one day on crunchyroll and it was absolutely terrible

it was like this kid who found a porno mag at a playground and was really embarrassed by it

i dont remember anything else really but that was pretty much the whole episode

 

[RepairmanJack]

Or episode 8 of nisemonogatari.

I think I remember seeing it on there. I have 0 idea what that show even is.

Not sure if I can even explain it anymore. The manga at least(Not sure if the anime stayed with the original concept) started as some school thing with a girl being good at everything and it somehow turns into some insane shonen fighting series with ridiculous powers. The stupid levels it goes to is really the only thing that made it interesting.

That actually sounds really dumb. I'll have to put it in the backlog just to see how stupid it gets.

I can only hope he gets an episode of Kill la Kill.

I bet Drew then.

There's someone who's power is to nullify coincidences....

Yeah it gets pretty dumb.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Medaka box manga is fun. Not sure about the anime though.

All anime is terrible compared to their manga counterparts anyway. /animehipster

 

[Jeevesmeister]

Skrillex and Girl Talk are musicians. He doesn't know what he is talking about.

Taylor Swift is more of a musician than either of them, jesus christ. Unless this is revisionist history where the only track Skrillex ever made was the theme to the Syndicate reboot, Jeff Gerstmann's 5-Star Game of The Year 2013 or whatever

I skimmed the plot summary on wikipedia and... huh.

*add to queue*

 

[Lijik]

that... doesnt disqualify them as musicians though?

 

[klonere]

Alex and Vinny is the best combo on the site. Running with Rifles and Affordable Space Adventures are some of the most laid back yet informative and funny pieces of video on the site.

Good stuff GBEAST

The revisionist history where people who make music are musicians?

I actually agree with the argument, the dude just could have picked two slightly less overly fucking commercialized corporate sellouts to prove a point.

Like I dunno, whoever is doing dubstep remixes of Cher and the Jurassic Park theme.

 

[strafer]

wow that space adventures QL game look superfun

An episode of Gitama would be pretty good too.

What's with all the anime? I thought this was a cool thread for cool people.

Must have been a nightmare. In no reality would that stuff be in the giantbomb thread

it took me to this

"A hot boy mermaid named Wakasa has taken over the bath of a teenage boy named Tatsumi! This cute but selfish freeloader is a perfect match for the cool but tender and caring Tatsumi. Let's see how they get by together"

anime y'all

but if nothing else, it reaffirms how good of an idea this is

Actually this anime is kinda sweet.

 

[Xater]

I recently saw the first episode of a new short form anime (like 5 minutes) that is about psychology. The first episode was about erectile dysfunction. So now you know that's a thing that exists.
