Giant Bomb #14 | I'll Never Forget This!

Not open for further replies.
I still gotta finish last week's podcast. Now that I'm on break I've been playing so many games. Bought Witcher 1 and 2 for 5 bucks a couple of weeks ago and all this Witcher 3 hype is really motivating me to play it after I finish Devil Survivor 2.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
This Bombcast discussion is making me even more hyped for GB E3.

Sure does.
Great thing about it is, if E3 sucks at least I can watch a bunch of funny guys mock it.
If it's great, it's great. And I still get to watch a bunch of funny guys mock it.
I win either way.

I took that Monday off just so I could sit at home and watch the GB conference coverage.

I took the whole week off. Gonna spend the week at my parent's summer house in the south of the country totally fucking up my sleep schedule and go out fishing when there's no GB content. A really nerdy vacation all things considered.

Being a student is awesome guys. You should try it.

I miss it for sure.

I live a life of socialism (five weeks of paid vacation here in Norway, bro). Because of my line of work I never get to take all those weeks and have to work a ton to be able to take this week off, but I can't complain at all compared to how especially Americans have it with vacation time.

Can I come

Just a regular salary job. You get vacation time and can spend it whenever.

Nothing more pathetic about upper management of your company when you have to use equipment you paid for on your dime.

Smart on Jeff for having gear set aside but he works for CBS. Shame Jeff has to go to those lengths.

As the next head of soccer, I’m proud to announce that we’re making the goal three times as wide and letting teams have two goalies.

As the new head of soccer I’m proud to announce that we’re all calling it soccer now.

Oh, and any game ending with a score of 0-0 results in all players getting electrocuted. Neo Soccer: It’s the beautifuller game!

All excellent ideas. Especially everyone calling it soccer. As a football fan, it always amuses me how ANGRY people get when Americans refer to it as soccer.

I like the two goalie idea, but it should be one from each team. While the rest of the team is having their jog, those two have to fight it out to see who gets control of that goal.

I'm disappointed in the lack of trampolines in Jeff's soccer reform though. I might have to put a bid in myself if he's not promising to deliver on the change we need.
 
I was originally going to change my working from home day so that staying up to watch the conference streams wouldn't kill me, but at this point I'll probably just hide from spoilers for the early morning stuff and watch the archives on my commute.

Just come to Kristiansand in Norway and I'll let you watch GB content that begins at like 4am here :p I think trying to watch the late night stuff live is maybe going to kill me.

How is Elisabet Gunnarsdottir doing as manager at Kristianstads DFF?

I'd like to point out that (presumably Renpatsu) is giving me a headache with this, but partially because I can't think of a better way to do it myself

unless maybe you went with ボンブ

It's hard to sit around waiting for the next Bethesda RPG, knowing that shit is going to be stilted as fuck and written for 12 year olds who love binary choice making.

Yeah I really hope Bethesda have been looking at New Vegas and Alpha Protocol, the Witcher and Pillars of Eternity and realised they need to up their writing game. I doubt it, but I fucking hope so.
 
I've been out of the loop on this Lego Worlds game. This looks like a dream come true for my young child self. It's like infinite Legos. We need an Unfinished, pronto!

when picking between terrorist with no morals vs a fascist trying to keep the peace, well, I lean on the peace guy because fuck the other noise. Though both are turds, at least Roche is a turd i can get behind.

Thing is Roche is simply fighting to preserve a dying feudal state. Why should I particularly care whether Temeria lives or not? What reasoning does Roche give for it beyond "it's where I'm from".

However, Iorveth definitely gives reasoning for his fight. Upper Aedirn; a realm where humans, elves, dwarves whatever, live together in peace and as equals. He doesn't hate humans, he simply hates the systemic discrimination of nonhumans by men. He's even keen to let a human lead his idea state (or what he thinks is a human).

And we know he's serious; we literally see his dreams and see he desires to live in peace and freedom. His guerrilla campaigns aren't what he really wants.

Generally I'd use the Romanization of Giant Bomb like so:

But in order to translate the AKIRA logo I decided that three characters would work so I just went with the one that sounded best to me like so:

Which is to say you should help me out with the Japanese next time.

the problem with this particular logo though is that the ッ looks like ツ and the only way to "fix" that would be to exaggerate the size difference, which screws up the logo

hence the headache. not your fault.

katakana sucks

Remember you can play Witcher 1 like Diablo by changing the cameras if you want that.

Also remember to save frequently in Witcher 1 as IIRC it doesn't autosave much

That's blowing my mind right now lol. This game is way different than I was imagining it to be.

That's kinda why his movement is so odd. Geralt can move extremely fast going forward and backward but side to side is tedious.

They added the over the shoulder view because of the immersion factor pretty late in development.

He definitely has the better motives but Roche is super cool. I saw him kick through a bridge once, just so he could punch a dude and I've seen him throw his long sword 20 feet and kill a man.
