I hope Jeff's catching the live action greatness in this new NFS trailer on the EA conference stream.

He might be missing out on all this Fut talk!

 

[Volotaire]

He might be missing out on all this Fut talk!

All this banter.

 

[jgminto]

Big Boss is afraid of women. Snake hits on every woman he meets. We know who's cooler.

I'm pretty sure Solid Snake is definitely a virgin.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Fun fact. "Fut" is slang for vagina in German. Saying it multiple times at a conference in Germany had to be a bit weird for some.

 

[Zaph]

Watching a streamer do sponsored commentary/promotion of G2A's Gamescom presentation, and damn, if I didn't think they were shady as fuck before, I do now. Entire executive team reeks, wouldn't shock me if that old mob element in piracy is alive here.

 

[War Peaceman]

I'm pretty sure Solid Snake is definitely a virgin.

Otacon's got laid more with his family than Snake has ever.

 

[mnz]

Yeah, Jeff seemed a lot more animated during this than he was during the E3 stuff. It was great to see, even if I thought E3 was all good (unlike some others).

Who would've thought that Jeff is a morning person!

 

[NumberThree]

Otacon's got laid more with his family than Snake has ever.

Oh boy.

 

[Spinx]

Oh boy.

Poor Huey Emmerich.

 

[War Peaceman]

Poor Huey Emmerich.

MGS 2 is a brilliant narrative but on replay it seems even weirder that there is an incest triangle in the middle of a terrorist incident. It makes no sense.

I think Kojima is just into some weird shit.

If you think about it, solidus was the only decent BB clone. He knew about the patriots well before dumbo snake had any idea and was out to wipe them off the face of the earth.

That they make him a jobber and then pretty much shit on what's left of him in mgs4 is really the tragedy here

His intentions were good but he was a pawn of the patriots. Solid is the only guy able to deceive the patriots and disrupt S3. OR WAS HE DUN DUN DUN. They never really delivered on the post-credit scene of MGS2. Or maybe they did and it got caught up in 4's maelstrom of shit.

 

[danm999]

I'm tempted to call Solidus the most successful as well given he realized he was being manipulated far earlier, but given I haven't played MGS4 I'm not sure where Solid or Liquid will ultimately end up.

Although I will say his plan to err, EMP New York City to turn it into some sort of free city was epic fucking stupidity.

 

[tchocky]

Saw this from Usgamers Jeremy Parish and thought of Jeff.

I know you kids love your SMB3 vs. SMW arguments, but the REAL best Mario game turns 20 today. I guess it would be more correct to say "the best game ever." Limiting it to a Mario series comparison does it no justice.

Happy 20th to the best Mario game.

Sounds like Jeremy Parish has been touching fuzzy.

Someone call his boss and tell him he's been hitting that hunk.

 

[rakhir]

I mean, Solidus was the greatest clone because he was the President of the United States. I mean, how much more can you achive in life.

 

[Curufinwe]

Jeff vs Jeremy would make for some interesting discussions. Two games media veterans with very different views and personalities.

 

[avengers23]

I've asked before why Jeff's never appeared on an episode of Retronauts. That's a show that definitely seems like it hits a rolodex problem.

 

[LiK]

so weird you guys are talking about this but I had the exact same thought yesterday. if Jeff and Jeremy did a podcast talking about old games, it would be pretty amazing.

 

[DrFunk]

I agree that Solidus was the best clone as well. Smarter, and wasn't he (genetically) the closest to Big Boss?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

dunno how good a podcast with two curmudgeony people would be like but, sure, why not

Also, give me a rank of fighters already. I need to know how other games fair when it comes to the Ten Count metric.

Old game show is due!

 

[Keyser Soze]

PAX is never worth the hassle it causes to GB content. I have no idea why they keep going.

Save the budget, attend one of the foreign shows, and get a weeks worth of unique compelling content instead. One video of the walking down a street in Japan would be better than the whole of PAX

"Dan in Japan" is a pretty solid name for a show BTW.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Jeff vs Jeremy would make for some interesting discussions. Two games media veterans with very different views and personalities.

But both determinators with a shared fever for preserving video game history. That would be a great premium feature.

 

[stump sock]

dunno how good a podcast with two curmudgeony people would be like but, sure, why not

both of them genuinely love old games, not sure what the problem would be

plus jeremy seems to be be less grumpy post-1up

 

[strafer]

Jeff hasn't tweeted about Need for Speed. I'm worried.

 

[shiftplusone]

Jeff's reaction to the esports shit and then the halo wars was my highlight of the day and also my same reaction

I stopped sending email to the Bombcast because I can't handle the rejection. The arc always goes like:

• Send email to cast.
• Oh, maybe I didn't send it in time.
• Not this week either? Maybe they got too many.
• Still didn't read it. I should probably assume they aren't going to read it.
• I should have listened to myself last week.
• (months pass)
• Didn't make it onto the year end email show either. Bummer.

And that's how you ruin several weeks of Bombcasts due to anxiety.

Brad in the modern era of "We had a lot of shitty emails but I grabbed some good ones" and he doesn't read yours must be devastating

Brad has weighed you on the scales and found you wanting

Chris Kohler, Jeremy Parish, Jeff Gerstmann, Shane Betanhausen. Someone might end up dead by the end of the show, but it'll be a great podcast.

I don't think Jeff has forgiven Shane for pushing Deadly Premonition on him. Though i thank them all for bringing Swery into my life

 

[Keyser Soze]

I am just realizing I have retro knowledge that Jeff does not.

I have played dozen hours of Snake Rattle 'n' Roll and Solar Jetman, yet Jeff has not. It does not matter if I played then when I was 6... it still counts.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

That's a pretty good podcast crew.

What makes you think that?

 

[daydream]

yeah been wondering myself why jeff hasn't been on retronauts, yet

obviously it's on t-frog to invite him, maybe it'll happen someday

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

just joking, though at the time Jeff did seem like he wasn't too into the idea of the DP ER. I forget the exact reasoning since it's been so long

 

[Hot Coldman]

Raiden is the only smart protagonist of the Metal Gear series.

Spoiler

Only in MGR though, after he realises "fuck it, guess I'm a killing machine"

 

[justjim89]

Solidus gets fucking shafted in MGS4. Almost comically so.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Yeah, I don't really see Dan liking Twin Peaks once he gets to the weird stuff.

 

[AuthenticM]

I just went back thirty pages and did not find the links to the Contradiction actors doing a shout-out to Giant Bomb. Help ?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Yeah, I don't really see Dan liking Twin Peaks once he gets to the weird stuff.

he's watched 20-30 years of wrestling, even Twin Peaks at its worst is better than about 90% of those storylines.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

What shout-out are you referring to? There's the "audition tapes", Emma's YouTube video, Jenks' posts, etc.

 

[RepairmanJack]

I can see Dan liking the bad and comical plot lines(like MGS), but does he have any chance in liking Twin Peaks at it's best when it's abstract and just weird like the finale and movie?

I could actually really see Dan liking Windham Earl and his hilarious disguises.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Fire Walk With Me is not Twin Peaks "at its best".

 

[hamchan]

I think the third episode of the show already has the Black Lodge in all its weirdness.

 

[RepairmanJack]

You're nuts! The more unaltered Lynch the better!

I think the third episode of the show already has the Black Lodge in all its weirdness.

Yeah, I just think it has a different tone than the finale and movie where it goes full crazy.

FWWM feels like some sort of fanfic that was made by someone who didn't understand that less is more. How i had imagined those events was much less lamer than how FWWM presents them.

a shame, really.

the worst part is that the start is absolutely fantastic and if the movie was just following Chris Isaac and Keither Sutherland it would have been great, but no, he decided to show us the backstory and explain everything in Twin Peaks for some reason

And Coop is only in a bit of it! Obviously he couldn't be the main character because of when it takes place, but he was always the best part of Twin Peaks.

 

[therealminime]

I must be one of the only ones that really likes FWWM in it's entirety.
