I think so, not so sure but the evolution of the gameplay felt right especially when you take into account that his suit upgraded when he was in Cryosleep by the end of H3 via nano-tech. If we were to go further, Naomi's Mark VII spartan armor is stated to upgrade itself automatically while in Cryo-sleep via nano-tech if anyone read Halo Glasslands which I didn't but I also had the question of why Chief's armor looks so different compared to Halo 3 when I played 4 so, my research lead me to this answer haha.

Basically the only thing they got right in Halo 4's MP was how the guns felt. Everything else was...hoo boy.
Review is amazing.
I was super worried when they announced they were making a US version since adapting Australian shows to American audiences usually goes terribly, but when I found out it was Andy Daly I felt relieved.
And watching the show I was right to be relieved, it's great.
Review is amazing. Andy Daly is so good. Rick and Morty is super awesome and fun. Comedy Bang Bang is always a quick blast of good humor.
Nathan For You and On Cinema are on another level. My top two favorite things in comedy. Besides wrestling and Giant Bomb these are the only things I really watch.

You're a big guy.
Exactly! You have great taste!
The gameplay overall felt decent, but once the community disappeared the game died with it. Remember being happy that i only bought three months of Xbox Live Gold after initially thinking i would play it for a long time.
Edit: Destiny MP is best new Halo MP.

That was a good listen, I loved the moments when the guys realized how professional they sounded.

Yeah it was really interesting to listen to, professional JV is just as entertaining as nightmare JV.

Be sure to not miss listening to the Podfest recording. Vinny and Jeff together is always magic.
It's great. Obviously the crazy JV/Lang/Boyes anecdotes are always welcome, but I really like whenever Jeff has to handle an interview or preview about a game that's currently in the middle of a marketing push, especially one where he could be considered biased or taking a soft approach because of a friendship/connect. He has a way of handling it that doesn't gush over the product, nor tries to overcompensate by digging up dirt, and instead makes a bee-line directly for the development process and the interviewee's involvement.
It's a smart way to do interviews because when you work with marketing or PR, that's not usually what they prep for when doing pressers, so you're less likely to trigger their involvement as they themselves are unsure where the line is and may not even fully understand what's being talked about. Jeff's a real pro.

Yeah, I am done with it for the same reason, I'm not enjoying it at all.
huh
They should just combine the Bombcast and Beastcast and have a podcast every week of only Jeff and Vinny. Those two together are so good. Really makes me miss the old podcasts.

Drew's and Jason's stock is going down. Giant Bomb is primarily an audio website now!
It always makes me sad whenever Jeff launches into a bit on the Bombcast and the other guys just laugh instead of joining in. Meanwhile the Beastcast is almost like improv theatre, those guys play out impromptu scenarios every episode, and everybody joins in!
EDIT - I assume you mean the CBB podcast, not the show. I think the podcast is the funniest shit ever, but the CBB show is kinda lame imo.
CBB is the best. But yeah, Andy Daly's review is so good! Daly will also appear on CBB sometimes and that is always great fun.

The Paradox interview was pretty good. I was able to listen to it before it was taken down (there was a crazy audio issue about 12 min in and then silence for a couple mins). The focus on making sure their games are mod friendly and how big of a boost that is for them was definitely nice to hear.
Looking forward to hearing that interview, love Paradox.

So the shooting was good?
They lost me with ADS and default sprint. I had a hearty laugh when they announced AR starts

Guys I want more Mario Maker content. That whole ordeal was so fun.
That whole coin collection segment had me in stitches. That whole podcast was great.

Anyone else hate Beastcast intro music? That alone makes it a 2nd tier podcast.

It's better than some overly-precious 45 second chiptune intro that so many games podcasts had for a while there. For me, the less production the better.
Agreed. HOWEVER, for whatever reason I still love the "corrections" music.

Yes! But it's because they do it right. 2-3 seconds of music, and then it fades into the back and they talk over it. The Tested podcast is still up their own ass with their terrible podcast production gimmicks.
Yeah the podcast was best when it was Jeff, Ryan and Vinny because they would just go off on these huge long tangents that were hilarious. Now you have Jeff making crazy jokes, with Brad, Dan and Drew just kinda hanging out. Dan adds some funny stuff in every once in a while, but yeah it's kinda disappointing. I think the change of letting Brad take over hurt it as well. It was kind of nonsense when Jeff was in charge, especially emails, but it was pretty funny most of the time.
it works better as outro

Yeah Ryan and Vinny were masters of improv along with Jeff and could play off each other constantly. Austin, Alex and Jeff b are also pretty good at that. I love the other west coast guys but they are not good at playing off Jeff.
It really does. Not a fan of it as a intro though. I wish they would slip this somewhere in their podcasts every once in a while.

I just listened to the podcast from 2009 that featured Ryan's infamous "Uh uh uh uh uh" quote.
On that Q&A he says that the guys from Transistor recored their dev process with Jeff's camera. Did Giant Bomb did anything with it? Is it forgotten? I would love if they would release that footage.
Just go on youtube and go down a Giant Bombcast clip hole. I do this every once in a while. I've spent hours just listening to old bits. May I suggest starting with "Hook my mouth up to that dog's ass!"

They never did anything with it. Impossible to know why, maybe not enough footage.
