Also Vinny made his first appearance on /r/livestreamfail(s) after his VR mishap lol.

I'm happy to hear that all people on that sub have GB premium and can enjoy this exclusive content

 

[The Dear Leader]

Those dumb thieves stealing that 90 seconds of premium content! I demand a partial refund!

 

[Xater]

Enter the Gungeon was this year? Ok that might be an indie making it onto my list after all. I played that for more than 50 hours. It's my favorite Rogue-like.

Also turns out FFXV is actually good. I am enjoying it quite a bit.

 

[mnz]

I like Gungeon but I'm just so bad at it. Have they changed anything significant recently? I would like to see some other dungeons and enemies...

 

[jaina]

yeah I will tally all the fun premium minutes at the end of the year, divide by $50 and then send a stern letter.

(I actually plan to count how many worthwhile premium videos there were and value each at up to $2)

 

[Zaph]

Oh yes, we will all miss Dan's deep and thoughtful input in discussions.

if you don't value Dan's contribution to GB, that's fine, but if "deep and thoughtful" is your only metric, it kinda sells him a bit short

 

[Death Metalist]

That's awesome you got through and the move was somewhat painless for the most part

Congrats.

Thanks! I'll be going back home of course from time to time then I'm back for definite when I'm done.

 

[Strax]

I'm legit shocked GBs Premium stuff doesn't end on sites like Dailymotion given how easy it is to rip without a sub. Maybe that says alot about the fanbase.

I've had my fill of crazy Dan stories and West reacting to it. Now it's East's turn. Alex is ready. As far as entertainment goes sure, there were fun Dan times on the Bombcast, filling it with life so to speak. As long as they don't hire another Jason - love him, not so great on the podcast though - it should be fine.

I'm pretty sure they changed that a while ago. I used to see .mp4 links going around but that has stopped.

in the end it's a losing fight, and I assume the amount of people who would sub if they couldn't pirate are not significant. they fixed the unauthenticated download links, so it's no longer piss easy and costing GB's traffic.

I wish movement in Gungeon was about...30% faster, but maybe Nuclear Throne just spoiled me

I find Jason a lot better on the podcas than Drew

 

[Majine]

What episode of the bombcast was when Jeff said in an ad "I hate you, Business man" and everyone starts cracking up?

 

[oti]

I don't really count Drew.

[kiguel182]

Vinny on VR is a joy.

Also, I assume no talking over PSX? It's so much duller without them.

 

[Human Trashcan]

I think most people tend to prefer one over the other for whatever reason. I never really fell in love with NT, but I played a good amount of Gungeon and loved it.

Hmmm yes. Looks that way.

Still fans of stuff seem to rip it and put it for all to see so I'm also suprised subs haven't been doing that.

But like I said; GB fanbase is maybe on a higher level then most.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Rorie knows what's up with puppies. Let other people train them and just have unimpeded fun with them when you visit. I am exhausted. He's still a good pup but house training is a goddamn thing. Especially all by yourself.

 

[Data West]

Watching them play Hitman, I would love to see them, as a team, take on Rainbow Six: Siege.

 

[kiguel182]

Blaming the game for their mistakes was a real bummer on UPF. Brad barely ran away from that dude, of course he was going to get into combat.

The game is way less janky that they make it seem.

 

[Maiorum]

Kojima at it again

 

[funkystudent]

Dan took Vinny to hoodslam?


I hope East cost duders are still around for the next bombcast recording because I need to hear Vinnys impressions.

Kojima at it again

KOJIMMMAAAA!

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

They would kill each other.

 

[TraBuch]

Podcastor Troy

At first, I thought this was a Pastor Troy reference,

 

[Hellsing321]

After this UPF I'm more convinced than ever that VR is mankind's greatest invention and yet will inevitably lead to its destruction.

 

[hamchan]

Kojima at it again

Kojima is rad.

 

[Meguro]

Kojima is a weird and kinda gross dude if his works are anything to go by and I hope he continues making games for as long as he possibly can.

 

[hwy_61]

I'm just now watching last nights UPF; wtf happened to Vinny?

One second he's kickin ass, the next a loud noise happens and he has no Vive controllers in his hands!

 

[Data West]

Jason probably getting flashbacks watching Vinny bar fight

 

[funkystudent]

Ok.. using my decades of Kojima exposure so far my take on Death Stranding is Its about Limbo / the afterlife.

Like... maybe in limbo you reverse age until you are a baby and then you are born again / reincarnated in the living world. Thats why babies are super important. Maybe the bad guys dont want that because reasons. Norman Reedus waking up naked on the beach was his waking up after he died.

If you want to overthink it and write a college art paper about it the whole cycle of death / limbo / reincarnation can be symbolic for Kojima productions dying and being reborn as well.



Also how the hell was Jeff able to immediately recognize Del Toro but have zero idea who Mads Mikkelsen is?

 

[Meneses]

What episode of the bombcast was when Jeff said in an ad "I hate you, Business man" and everyone starts cracking up?

One of the best:

Del Toro is more recognizable and has already been tied to Kojima in the past

 

[justjim89]

Kojima is such a heavy-handed writer, this whole thing is getting absurd. By the time we see actual gameplay of this video game some time in 2019 I'm already going to be sick of it. The baby is a person's creative work, the black goo is capitalism, the bad guys are corporations trying to take their babies from them. Tell us what you really think, Kojima.

 

[Meneses]

This UPF is amazing.

Baby = the old games
Bad guys = the new games
Black goo = the F2P games

 

[justjim89]

I wonder what type of enemy will serve as a metaphor for his excuse as to why MGSV's story was half-baked and terrible.

We also haven't seen a female character yet, and that's always where Kojima shows his most tact.

 

[Strax]

lol what

Mads has one of the most unique looks of big name actors today while Del Toro looks like a stereotypical nerd from Big Bang Theory. Jeff knows how he looks because of Kojima but let's not get crazy. Mads, both name and look, is known by more people. Especially in Europe.

 

[Meguro]

I don't know who Mads is.
I know who Del Toro is and know exactly what he looks like.

 

[funkystudent]

Del Toro is more recognizable and has already been tied to Kojima in the past

I wouldnt be able to tell you what Mads name was until yesterday but I would have totally recognized that dudes weird face and gone "oh its that guy"

 

[StoveOven]

I agree that Mads has a more unique look. I meant it in terms of Del Toro being a more widely known person, but I could be wrong there. My main point was the Kojima thing

 

[hamchan]

I think a lot of people wouldn't know Mads name but will know him as "Hannibal" or "the Bad Guy from Casino Royale".

 

[Human Trashcan]

If you haven't seen Hannibal (the show) you really should, it's (mostly) amazing. Mads is so fucking good.

Also, Casino is the best Bond movie by a mile.

 

[pizzacat]

I thought mads was this adult liquid model they didn't use in V

 

[Death Metalist]

Kojima at it again

 

[Strax]

I recommend people see De grønne slagtere (The Green Butchers) starring Mads. He opens a butchershop and accidentally starts selling human meat (without knowing) and people buy it thinking is something else and they love it and it becomes hugely popular.

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Do we know if they are gonna talk over PSX?

 

[Death Metalist]

I think a lot of people wouldn't know Mads name but will know him as "Hannibal" or "the Bad Guy from Casino Royale".

More people need to see Jagten(The Hunt). It's his best work.
