Rainbow Six is fun.

afaik, most anime doesn't air on broadcast tv, it's on satellite channels, etc. I'm far from an expert if I'm being completely honest.
however, I can tell you that, especially late at night, they don't really bother with the "every half hour" method of show scheduling. pretty much anything goes. so you'll see a lot of 10 or 15 minute shows mixed in with shows that are like 70 minutes or whatever. I'm sure that if those short shows are aired somewhere, they're just thrown in the mix at like 2am or something
e: for example, this show is like 2 minutes long, airs at 3:56am 3 times a week

Two episode in, and Wakakozake is the best thing I watched since Breaking Bad

Wakakozake sounded super interesting, even though I rarely enjoy anime. So I gave it a shot. Cutting out the 30 second intro, each episode is 1:30 ... It's an enjoyable little clip show, but nothing I would call "Amazing" like some people are claiming, and there is 12 episodes. So the whole series takes less than 1 full episode of any normal TV show (Without commercials) to get through. It's good, but not a great show, and if that is considered a great anime, I don't think I'm missing much.
So, video game voice actors may go on strike or something? What's happening here?:
Steve Blum's Twitter full of voice actors signing a strike authorization agreement.
Blum's short video for actors to vote.
The SAG AFTRA negotiations.

I don't think there are that many people who consider it to be a great anime, but great shorts with nicely drawn food. It'd be like saying the new Vixen series is a good western animation; it looks nice but it's not really a show when it's about five minutes long per episode.
There's also the fact that there's a lot of really, really shitty anime coming out right now.
On one hand, the things they list as their demands seem entirely reasonable.
On the other hand, video game voice acting was only ever good when it was terrible so let's go back to the days when it was the developer's cousin and the janitor adding lines to games.
Destiny can't catch a break.
IT'S MONDAY.
Vinny + Jeff collabo please.
In tears. Wow. I may change one of my fantasy team names to Invisible Mouse to pay tribute.

You scared the shit out of me.
Great, maybe we can finally get some new fucking voice actors instead of the same clique of 12 people that seem to have a death grip on video game voice acting.
Forgot about Invisible Mouse. It should make an appearance on the Beastcast sometime.
I'll do it. Does Contradiction 2 need an American?
I barely have internet where I am and even I know that Giant Bomb has been cancelled. Get with the program!

Alt F1 has replaced it.

My guess is because, especially in Destiny's case, it's a console game. Diablo 3 works on a console because the base mechanics are fairly simple, you can attack and dodge, and every other button can be used to map abilities. Destiny as an FPS uses nearly every button on the controller for base mechanics, so it'd be pretty hard to map a suite of abilities as well. You could set up a toggle to switch abilities on something like clicking the left stick, but that would be really clunky to use in mid fight. Borderlands has the same limitation.

Jeff didn't come out of his house to get the paper this morning. So I cut myself.

It's Tuesday and I have no Bombcast and no new video content! I'm losing it over here!
I noticed that too, and thought "Yeah I wouldn't tell the internet either."

Like... interacting with it? How do you stuff salty corn-based snacks into your mouth when your hands are occupied?

Didn't Dan just tweet a picture with a pornstar and everyone just assumed they were dating. You guys are obsessive, man.

He talked about going on a date with a porn star a few months ago on Danswers.
She tweeted a picture of the two of them and mentioned they were on a date. Can't recall who it was.
Drew B. Scanlon had an anecdote a long time ago about getting into his friend's email account in college or something
He knows there are other Drews out there plotting to use his middle name and date of birth against him

I think they just had a few dates, I believe Dan is seeing another person now.

Amen to that, brother. Them granting that guy any legitimacy was such a shame to hear. Everything around Star Citizen is such a blind spot for Giant Bomb right now, but they still comment on it as if they are informed.

Alexis is starting to tear up somewhere in the headquarters of Twitch and he doesn't know why

It'd be pretty rad if Alexis joins in on this years Extra Life stream(s)
They're no different from most of the press. Though others are more measured in their responses.

I don't actually remember them discussing Star Citizen recently, outside of the ship purchasing stuff which was kind of weird for anyone looking in from the outside? Wasn't Drew keeping tabs on it?

When does the bomb cast usually upload? I need it for dinner in a few minutes T_T

If the next MGScanlon is on Thursday then maybe they will post another on the weekend to give us three episodes a week.
Hopefully he does, it would be cool if him and Drew played Halo 5.
