Did they ever do a Rifftrax style commentary for a movie that they were talking about a while ago? It just crossed my mind today that Jason was considering doing that at some point.

Drew and Dan talked over Rocky IV but nothing since

[DamnBoxes]

I... Don't like clowns...

This is terrifying.

 

[Lunar FC]

Vinny started a contradiction with that one.

Spoiler

It was too easy I'm sorry

I don't think you understand what contradictions are.

Also I thought we were donsies with Patrick?

 

[Twin Tails]

He keeps getting stuck in the body.

Also I thought we were donsies with Patrick?

We are desperate for content.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

I don't think you understand what contradictions are.

It implied that he was about to start a series playing through Kingdom Hearts.
Then he started a series playing through a game literally called Contradiction instead.

It's just a dumb joke. Relax.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Vinny has a 3yo.

Yeah, I agree. I suggested to Jason last time that they should just devote each show to a particular franchise. Maybe start with the very first in a series, spend 30 minutes with that and then play the best of the sequels. They spend a lot time talking about the whole series anyway, like yesterday they kept talking about how great Samurai Showdown 2 was and it would have been nice if they had transition into playing it.

Yeah, 30 minutes sounds each sounds good, just one after another 3 or 4 back to back.

 

[funkystudent]

I like to think there is a raging debate at GB east right now about what to play tomorrow. Castlevania or Contradiction.

King of Fighters ep would be an all day affair.

Foot on the table directly in the cameras view, has to be Dan. Demo Derby confirmed.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

It's pretty much mandatory for every foreign visitor to Japan to make a video about their confusion/fascination with Japanese toilets.

 

[daydream]

return of demo derby is imminent?

 

[Megasoum]

Watching the Bloodborne archive. Jason is great this week with all the cartoon talks haha.

My heart and mind want different things =(

Easy, Contradiction. There should be no debate.

 

[daydream]

drew's and dan's comments about what was basically a public execution in 1982 (from the current mgscanlon ep) were a little off-putting. what exactly is "awesome" about that?

 

[Twin Tails]

Wasn't it the town murdered a murder who kept getting off?

dan saying he deserved to die and that it was awesome seemed like a little much, but i'm definitely reading too much into it

 

[tchocky]

Wasn't it the town murdered a murder who kept getting off?

He wasn't a murderer but he did just about everything else

Ken Rex McElroy (June 1, 1934 – July 10, 1981) was a resident of Skidmore, Nodaway County, Missouri. Known as "the town bully", his unsolved killing became the focus of international attention. Over the course of his life McElroy was accused of dozens of felonies, including assault, child molestation, statutory rape, arson, hog and cattle rustling, and burglary.

 

[chaobreaker]

What happened to Glitch?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I don't like to criticise GB features usually but the Ranking of Fighters series is very boring. I don't think fighting games have been particularly good for GB content and the show in general feels a bit flat. But I also don't like fighting games so...

It's a little more laid back but I love them, especially the SamSho one. You can tell it's right in Jason and Jeff's wheelhouse.

 

[Wunder]

What happened to Glitch?

how do people keep up with bans?

 

[Piston Hyundai]

There's an achievement in the Stanley Parable for not playing the game in five years.

I respect that.

Edit: whoops, though this was the steam thread. My bad.

that's alright, we got people in here talking about patrick klepeck for some reason so it wasn't particularly on-topic to begin with

 

[Bacon]

Your constant meta commentary on the thread sure adds a lot though

 

[valeo]

Yeah, I really liked it. Just two dudes getting hyped over their love of fighting games.

 

[- J - D -]

While I do like the more sedate ambiance of the ranking of fighters features, I'd love to see one for a really hype fighters such as the classic Ehrgeiz: God Bless The Ring.

 

[justjim89]

drew's and dan's comments about what was basically a public execution in 1982 (from the current mgscanlon ep) were a little off-putting. what exactly is "awesome" about that?

Dan version of the answer: This is God Damn America, we kill our bad guys boy howdy!

Actual answer: Execution of prisoners is nearly as prominent an aspect of American culture as a love of firearms. You can see how the two go hand in hand.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

to be fair to Dan, it does seem like a pretty damn interesting book

 

[justjim89]

to be fair to Dan, it does seem like a pretty damn interesting book

Yeah, I paused the MGS episode to look up the wikipedia page on it.

 

[funkystudent]

Easy, Contradiction. There should be no debate.

Ya know. I see where you are coming from but the Small Businessman inside me says it would be smarter to take a break in between episodes of Contradiction to spread it out over a longer chunk of time.

Giantbomb is blocking support for BeyondPod app.

That sucks. Sounds like the issue is caused by incorrect premium credentials, but us cool ad-listening people are suffering the consequences, too. Gonna have to look for an alternative.

Pocket Casts is the best in the game bruh.

No demo/trial, no sale. I'll give Podcast Addict a try, even if I'm not an addict myself. They use the Giant Bomb feed in their promo pictures.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Downcast gets the job done for me.

 

[Jintor]

return of demo derby is imminent?

when you realise that giant bomb love lab = danswers

 

[funkystudent]

I am a scrub who just goes to the website and downloads the podcast to my phone every week.


Tried a bunch of podcast apps on Android but never liked any of them. So many bad UI's

 

[Maiden Voyage]

No demo/trial, no sale. I'll give Podcast Addict a try, even if I'm not an addict myself.

I had good luck with Antennapod. I don't use podcast apps anymore though.

 

[BUNTING1243]

prediction: no contridiction tomorrow.

I hope the Hulk Hogan news breaks during UPF tomorrow. Dan's live reaction to whatever the fuck happened would make up for the lack of Power BombCast.

the only thing that could unite gawker once again is around-the-clock smarmy coverage of hulk hogan being a racist.

 

[BanGy.nz]

I hope the Hulk Hogan news breaks during UPF tomorrow. Dan's live reaction to whatever the fuck happened would make up for the lack of Power BombCast.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

I've enjoyed using Doggcatcher for years now, and the creator still keeps it updated and adds new features.

But looking at the field of contenders now, it sounds like Pocket Casts is the new top podcatcher on the block, due to its cloud-based list system and wealth of built-in features (though IIRC you have to do user/pass in the URL thing due to a lack of authentication fields, unless they've added that recently). It's not enough to get me to switch personally, but it sounds like the standard recommendation for new users.

 

[Myggen]

Gonna need to get another podcast up now it seems! All good, if it sends malicious traffic to the GB servers I totally see why they would block it until those issues are fixed.

Downloading Pocket Casts when I get home.

If anyone didn't catch what the problem was, edgework posted this:

I'd assume it works well for users, its just really dumb with providers. If it can't reach a podcast for some reason, like the user isn't authorized, it keeps trying over and over and over. We've seen users with 40k hits within a few hour period. If it works for you and the podcast provider wants to eat that traffic then there's no reason not to use it.

You just won't be able to use it for Giant Bomb because we're rather use those server cycles for actual traffic not a constant Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!, Can I?, No!...

So it seems to be a problem with the premium podcasts mostly.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

My thirst for a new Powerbombcast right now...

 

[chaobreaker]

I can't tell if Jeff's serious joking.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Serious that the thing he's doing is actually the thing he's doing?

What?

 

[Kelas]

If it's about their radio show reach, I don't think that figure is unbelievable. A lot of people still listen to the radio, and their shows get spread everywhere through syndication.

 

[chaobreaker]

OK so I was not aware that they actually do syndicate some of their stuff for radio. I'm actually surprised any ol' radio station would buy a minute of gaming news.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think it took awhile for them to actually upload it to the site too. Jeff would talk about how he did them on the bombcast.

Gave us this gem.

[demidar]

I remember an email condemning Jeff for his Radio Minute showing up on a Glenn Beck show or some other hardcore conservative show.

 

[Myggen]

It was Rush Limbaugh's show

 

[repeater]

That explains A LOT, yeah. I've always wondered what the point is to the Gaming Minutes -- they're usually not in-depth enough (no shit) to cover anything that hasn't been discussed in a Bombcast or elsewhere on the site.

I remember an email condemning Jeff for his Radio Minute showing up on a Glenn Beck show or some other hardcore conservative show.

If this means we will eventually get Danswers with Glenn Beck, I don't really mind.
