For once I think Who's Your Daddy might be a PC indie game Adam Boyes and co might have to think twice about before signing to a PS4 deal.


What a great idea though.
 
you can now own all the classic 3D realms games for under a fiver

this package is actually getting pulled from steam before the end of the year so if you want to play some cheap wacky wheels then you better get on it
Alien Carnage / Halloween Harry
Starring hero "Halloween Harry", Alien Carnage is an impressive game with no detail overlooked. Professional musical soundtrack, brilliant full-VGA graphics, non-stop animation and huge start-game and end-game cinematics. If Duke Nukem has a twin separated at birth, it's got to be Halloween Harry!

After months of searching and studying ancient maps, Nevada has stumbled upon the location of a tremendous Viking treasure cave. Join our intrepid hero as he heads for the Arctic in this stunning and chilling new adventure.

Balls of Steel
Balls of Steel features five pinball tables with edge and attitude. No lame circus, zoo, or cutesy themes here! We're talking blood and gore, with animated creatures getting splattered by your ball and laser cannons dishing out hardcore destruction.

Bio Menace
You are Snake Logan, a top CIA operative who likes to do things his own way. Metro City has fallen under the attack of hideous mutants and your mission is to fly recon over the city and report back.

Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure
What's green with red spots, has suction hands, and has an overbite like Bart Simpson? Of course, the answer is Cosmo! Cosmo is a young alien on his way to visit Disney World with his parents. That is, until their ship is struck by a blazing comet, forcing them to land on an uncharted planet.

Death Rally (Classic)
You start out from the bottom of the ranking list. Your objective: earn money in the blitzkrieg-battle races. Fight hard for each precious championship point. Fellow competitors are showering you in a constant hail of bullets. Each race is deadly contest - a matter of life or death.

Duke Nukem
Duke Nukem is the explosive debut of the known universe's greatest high-flying, wise-cracking, alien-punching, babe-saving, gun-toting badass. A man who would eventually go on to become a one of a kind gaming action hero that would soon combine ass-kicking and bubblegum-chewing in a completely revolutionary way. Duke begins here.

Duke Nukem 2
Duke Nukem is back. Captured by an alien foe in the middle of promoting his best-selling book, “Why I’m So Great”, Duke must once more defeat the forces of evil to save himself from the knowledge-stealing Rigelatins, and ultimately prove his book’s namesake.

Duke Nukem 3D
The third chapter in the series, and the first with a 3D perspective (the original Duke Nukem and the sequel, Duke Nukem II, are side scrolling platform games). This game, set sometime in the early 21st century, begins in a ravaged LA, which was overtaken by aliens while you were abducted during Duke Nukem II. Duke, upon returning to Earth, finds himself with another mess to clean up, and another alien race that needs exterminating.

Hocus Pocus
Terexin, leader of the Council of Wizards, is sending the young sorcerer, Hocus, on a special mission to prove his worthiness.

Major Stryker
In the not-so-distant future, the calamity of World War III led to eventual world peace. But, it didn't last. Earth was invaded by alien marauders - the Kretons. Earth's united military force, still depleted after the mighty onslaught of WWIII, was not nearly sufficient to repel the numerous Kreton attacks.

Math Rescue
This madness can only be the work of... the Gruzzles. In your last tangle with the mean ol' Gruzzles, you stopped them from stealing all the words from our books (in Word Rescue). This time the Gruzzles are taking all the numbers and it's up to you to get them back.

Raptor: Call of the Shadows

You are part of an elite group of operatives called HUNT (High-risk United Nations Taskforce), and you must stop a maniac cult leader from killing millions of people. While scouting a remote island, you are suddenly surrounded by enemy troops with guns blaring.

Secret Agent
If you liked Commander Keen or Duke Nukem, this game is just what you're looking for. Lots of great situations to overcome and traps to work around. This game has great puzzles which make it much more than a simple run-jump-and-shoot contest. Superb colorful graphics and scrolling levels. James Bond never had it so tough!

Shadow Warrior (Classic)
Lo Wang. Master ninja assassin for 20 years. A Shadow Warrior. Shadow warriors are the best of the best, and Lo Wang was the best of the shadow warriors. Every top company in Japan had a Shadow Warrior... a protector, a negotiator, a cleaner.

Play with a friend in split-screen mode, play head-to-head using a modem connection or play via serial (null-modem) cable. Race against challenging computer opponents with adjustable difficulty settings.

Word Rescue
Word Rescue is an incredible adventure for kids who want to rescue all the stolen words from the mean ol' Gruzzles. The Gruzzles can't read, and they don't want anyone else to read. So, they've stolen the words out of all of our books! Benny Bookworm needs your help to stop the Gruzzles.

Xenophage: Alien Bloodsport
Because of the aggressive tendencies shown by your semi-sentient species, the Council has bestowed upon you the honor of relieving their boredom by fighting for the propagation rights of the species of your world. The combat will be weaponless. The matches will take place in a holographic simulation of you or your opponent's homeworld, and will be farcast to the Council Chamber. If you fight well enough, you will be given the honor of defeat at the hands of the Grand Champion. Failure to fight will result in automatic forfeiture of propagation rights.
 
My problem with them is that Drew has zero history with the PSX so he brings nothing to these discs in a historical sense. Dan has the perspective that I have (someone who was a young teenager when the PSX came out and played a ton of it) and Jeff brings the experience of being someone in the industry during this era.

It's that they all complement each other rather well. It's not that the drew and dan demo derbies weren't good, it's that the inclusion of jeff makes them all the more better

Yea Jeff fills the hole of seasoned vet compared to both and can bring his stories like a war veteran.

And its not just the PSX stuff either.
 
HAHAHA. Patrick (somehow in the past) got revenge of Dan for all his Super Mario Maker madness. Dan planned on doing a Yoshi's Island Encyclopedia Bombastica, only to find out Patrick already did one!

Finished the whole season Tales from the Borderlands. Uh...yeah, that game deserves to be in the top 5 GOTY. Just outstanding writing and direction. Fantastic comedy, a cast of characters that I feel really attached to now because of how well developed they are over the course of the story, some really heartfelt moments, and a plot that never lost its great pacing. Camera angles and transitions were just on point the whole game too.

Once again I have to say it's the best thing Telltale has ever done. I think Gearbox owe a lot to this Telltale team because it's brought me back into the whole Borderlands franchise after I felt sick of it and never wanted to go back 30 hours into Borderlands 2.

It's actually a big shame that none of the Giant Bomb guys got around to playing it, besides Austin doing the first ep on his Extra Life stream, because this is one of the best games of the year.
Yesss another convert. Agreed on all accounts. I'm much more excited to see the next main Borderlands game, I hope they learn a lot from Telltale in terms of making interesting characters.
This is so silly it's amazing. I want to see Vinny try playing it with Dan.

Looking forward to Gbeasts reaction to LiS Ep 4 on Friday, after watching youtuber Kay Plays video of it today and her emotional reaction it reminded me how amazing the opening section of that episode is.

catching up on bombcasts and they just mentioned what i assume must have been glitches' email about download speeds and i can't seem to find that discussion

they mention it on the 10/13 cast so i went back to the 10/06 cast to relisten but yeah, no dice. a timestamp would be appreciated
Glitches' mail was in the 11/03/2015 Bombcast, at 2:34:52. I found the date by searching for our snarky comments in OT#17.

Must have been a different example they're referencing in 10/13.

I just realized that if they do a UPF this week it will be the first one I can't watch live in months. Ugh

I'm getting LASIK surgery on Friday which means I will be stuck for the whole weekend without reading, watching TV, checking my phone or playing games...

Please kill me already.
