why's everybody talking about Brock Lesnar in the new AC? please tell me that's real

please tell me the new game is set in Suplex City (bitch)
 
holy shit dan your selections for Wise vs Kirkhope

would it have killed you to put a DKC1/2 track to actually demonstrate wise's best work to Brad and Jeff?
 
I think that the GOTY cast amply proved that Dan does not know how to select the right songs.

Tropical Freeze has good music that doesn't really stand out when it isn't hiding behind a good game.

I'll legit listen to Aquatic Ambiance, Stickerbush Symphony, Gangplank Galleon et al. just for the sale of listening to them. Fuckin' amazing shit.
 
Hey Brad if you're reading this I just thought id give a heads up: this is the third bombcast in a row where I've noticed multiple instances of audio skipping

I'm sure he's already been getting plenty of mentions on Twitter, in the comments etc. It seems to be a problem with their recording equipment in the studio, and Brad has said that they're not allowed to bring a backup because that's how big corporations work (the studio is still running on Windows XP!). I haven't really thought it was a big problem with a couple of small skips (the first time it happened, after Danny read an email, it was a bigger problem). But if it becomes one they can always record the Bombcast like they recorded the GOTY casts; worse audio quality, but you'll at least get consistent audio quality.

I'm just afraid the studio is gonna eat one of their podcasts again, like it did around Christmas last year. It sounds terrifying to record a 3 hour+ thing without backup.

I'm the biggest fan of Rare made DKC but I don't think they're that much better than the Retro made games. I would argue they are the same level.

Plus, Tropical Freeze has music like this.

Yea. Lets hope they get some new hardware with the new studio.
 
You guys are joking, but that really feels like a desperate move from Gamespot to stay relevant. Who is coming next year? Lindsay Lohan?
 
What a weird stunt. Maybe they can make it work, but I'm not too excited about that kind of thing. It reminds me of when the GB crew talked about some part of Whiskey Media wanting to involve celebrities in their work.
I believe that was when they were looking for buyers, not WM themselves. The company that bought Tested suggested Jonah Hill as GB's celebrity endorsement. Jeff was like nah.

Is that your pitch for good Wise music?

The tested.com of videogames!
 
Dan's competitive nature sometimes makes for some great content. This Kirkhope vs Wise segment on the podcast is already great.

Kind of seems like he was trying to pick tracks specifically to fool them, its not like he was picking out top tier kirkhope by mosty limiting himself to dk64
