YAY! Cook, Serve, Delicious 2 coming to PS4 (and PC) http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/07/02/cook-serve-delicious-2-coming-to-ps4/

Nice shout out to Ryan by Chubbigans in the blog post

Still, I didn’t know if that would play to the gaming audience, given that a large majority of cooking games were of the simple, casual variety, and Cook, Serve, Delicious! was very much the opposite of that. In fact it didn’t really take off until Ryan Davis of Giantbomb picked it up for a Quick Look video. Since then, the game has inspired hundreds of Let’s Play videos and streams for a cumulative total of more than six million views, and has grossed nearly a million across PC and mobile.

I think after this weeks Bombcast I am ready to official declare I like the Beastcast better then the Bombcast now. The Bombcast needs Patrick or Vinny back badly. Its all Jeff and Brad. Jason is better then Drew or Dan though.

 

[alr1ght]

If the Ryckert-cast was weekly and public it would be #1 on Itunes.

I was actually going to say this week's bombcast was a huge improvement with everyone talking a lot more.

Paul and the other guy should just start their own podcast of randomly hanging out in a bar once a week.

This week's Bombcast was probably better than all of the Beastcast episodes for me.

Anyways, Alex was a guest on a podcast

Well you two know what you have to do now.

I'll prepare the knives.

 

[soundscream]

There is a special place in hell for Drew haters.

Or the baseball bats.

You can like Drew and realize he isn't a great fit for the podcast

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Please, we're cultured folk in this thread, you have to use the pistols.

You can like Drew and realize he isn't a great fit for the podcast

Agreed.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Yeah, I think he's great on other podcasts, just not so much the Bombcast. He just needs another premium podcast besides Alt-F1.

Spoiler

Bomb after reading!!!

bestcast reigns supreme

I'd be interested in a jeff + brad + guest format

bomb after reading with drew as host, it's insane that they dropped that idea like a hot potato

 

[Antiwhippy]

Pfft, bats and pistols, please.

You only really know a man once you've got a knife against his throat.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

congrats chubs!

Well, yes and no. It was a great idea that a lot of people like, but also consider the heavy time investment required of all participants in the podcast.

 

[Zaph]

I join the GB server and it's playing Good Vibrations going into a dubstep remix of the X Files theme.

It's like I never left.

They always said that it might be a one time thing.

Hey Drew doesn't play many games but at least he likes games unlike some other people.

I really, really hope Trackmania Turbo gets as wacky as the PC games with the multiplayer stuff.

HOLD BACKWARDS FOR GPS

Gah I just jumped in the most recent page of the thread and your post was at the top and I thought it was happening

Everyone talking is only part of the issue. The discussion just isn't as good as it used to be and I really like Jeff Bakalar and Austin.

There is a special place in hell for Drew haters.

I think Drew is great when he talks, he just disappears far too much.

Guys should I get my backer copy of Mighty No. 9 on PC or 3DS?

Are you often at home or do you need a commute/work time waster?

Also if physical/digital matters to you that's something to consider.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Hm, good points. I mostly game at home. I prefer digital.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

PC. Support will be better and Steam > eShop. Just depends if a mobile version matters to you or not.

I'm pretty sure I get two copies, so I'll be going PC and PS4.

 

[soundscream]

I enjoy Drew on the podcast, his sense of humor is a welcome change of pace. And frankly a bunch of people just love to complain for the sake of complaining. I dont enjoy Rorie but I would still listen to the podcast every week if he was on it and I wouldn't complain about it.

Can someone remind me what this Mike Drucker guy has to do with videogames? I know he's a writer and comedian, but I think there was some videgame involvement before.

I know that he had a Top 10 List for 2014.

I think he worked at IGN on Up At Noon.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Shit I forgot I haven't listened to the latest Danswers. Is it worth listening to?

 

[alr1ght]

Hmm, maybe some speedrunning on UPT?

mm type games are excellent on a handheld, and the 3d (if it has it) will look really nice as is custom for 2d games on that thing

unless you're part of the, like, 1% who play consoles/pc at home and handheld on the go because i literally only meet those kinds of people once in a blue moon. handhelds are very much home devices for most people, i think

 

[avengers23]

Someone needs to send Austin the great clip of Vinny's edits of what Patrick had to say about Microsoft from that Bombcast to show Austin what happens when you give Vinny full control.

This is what I immediately thought of.

Worked for Nintendo (localized Kid Icarus Uprising and wrote a lot of the jokes), worked for IGN (co-created and wrote for Up At Noon) now works for Jimmy Fallon both in the Late Night days and now for the Tonight Show. He's a pretty funny guy.

Oh yeah, I totally play my handheld games at home.

I went with the PC version for MN9.

Is Brad's Bloodborne feature worth watching?

Thanks, I knew there was something.

Looks like Tricky Scoops is safe for now; Hogan's lawsuit against Gawker Media has been delayed indefinitely.

Do you enjoy movies with no ending?

 

[KingKong]

Paul Ryckert is the best damn videogame journalist there have ever been

 

[Volotaire]

Bombcast was definitely a huge improvement. However, I enjoyed the Beastcast much more this week.

 

[Kelas]

They always said that it might be a one time thing.

yes, but that doesn't really have any bearing on my opinion that it's insane to completely drop the idea

dammit, now what do i do with all this popcorn?

It's the inception of giantbomb features.

Holy shit that Peter Moore anecdote about the MSN Gaming Zone hahaha


When he was head of XBox some engineer explained to him that they had to move the MSN Gaming Zone from the super old NT servers they were using at the time to new more powerfull ones so he did it. They started with the Bridge server.

Peter recieved an email the next day from Bill Gates detailing to him the 50 different reasons he was an idiot for shutting down the servers because Bill tried to login the night before to play his daily Bridge game with Warren Buffett and the servers were down.

lmao... Just the idea that Bill Gates and Warren Buffett used to play Bridge on the frickin MSN Gaming Zone every night is mind blowing hahahaha.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

sleeping lesson be warned that 3ds version will not be out at launch

 

[chaobreaker]

I just sent a question to Brad's tumblr about the bombcast. For some reason, the bombcast always displays episode lengths in seconds only and the file size is always incorrect, usually something between 9 to 11 kilobytes. Apparently it's because you have to manually (or automatically) include those numbers to the RSS metadata or something. I hope he reads it but I might try contacting someone else from GB. It's just a bit if a bother not having a good gague on how long a episode is in my podcast app all until I play it.

This is what I'm talking about:
