Vlambeer's Rami Ismail is in the news again.

I keep popping in there to see how deep that ronzilla guy is gonna dig his hole.

Anyways Rami had a panel at an event I was at for an SFV tournament last year but I didn't even realize it until it was too late, wish I'd gone to it.

Bombcast was pretty meh this week again

 

[firehawk12]

I'm pretty sure I haven't heard the story before! But I first started listening in May 2016. Not all new listeners will go back to old podcasts.

Yes, but you're not in the podcast room sitting with Jeff every week for the last 10 years. lol

 

[Blitzrules240]

New Hitman QL tomorrow but I think they mean Landslide not The Icon.

They did The Icon.

Hoping it's Dan/Vinny/Alex.

 

[Rhaknar]

I fell off hard Giantbomb the last few months, are they going to get someone new to replace Dan at GB san francisco or what?

bombcast June 2017: "we're starting to look at people"

 

[Gjerven]

Yeah, I misread.

Image shows that it is the Landslide mission.

They're hiring someone for the West Coast and someone else for the East Coast. The last time it was brought up, I think it was was 2 weeks ago on the Bombcast (Maybe the call-in UPF), Jeff mentioned that he hasn't looked any resumes.

bombcast June 2017: "we're starting to look at people"

Cut to Jeff looking through a pair of binoculars. "That one!" he suddenly exclaims, finger pointing down at the street.

 

[Death Metalist]

Here's mine

Nice haul(or is it your entire HD-DVD collection?), I don't own a single HD-DVD. Been buying Blu's since 2007, as for what other forms of media I've collected. They are VHS's, a few Laserdiscs, DVDs and of course video games(I always go physical, as long as the game is available physical then that's what I prefer)

I am not looking forward to shipping whatever I buy here to my hometown when all is said and done but it is what it is.

Have they mentioned someone for the east coast? The only listing they have up seems to be for SF

GBE Playdate: [The Real] Super Mario Bros. 2

We go in search of the most lost of levels. You know, the ones between Super Mario Bros. 1 and Super Maro Bros. 3?

 

[silentg]

Anyone else think Jeff is looking for his long term replacement?

 

[mnz]

Anyone else think Jeff is looking for his long term replacement?

It's not even a senior editor position afaik

 

[Basileus777]

Anyone else think Jeff is looking for his long term replacement?

Peter Brown was on the podcast for a reason.

 

[Tubobutts]

Anyone else think Jeff is looking for his long term replacement?

Jeff is leaving because Brad refuses to leave and Jeff hates Brad?

 

[silentg]

It's not even a senior editor position afaik

Not senior now, but eventually...

 

[Blitzrules240]

Yeah, I misread.

Oh man I am so glad they're following that opportunity. The ending is really satisfying...

hell yea

 

[Mr. F]

Not senior now, but eventually...

I think if/when Jeff retires the site goes with him (not goofing)

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Anyone else think Jeff is looking for his long term replacement?

Will he subject replacement candidates to Wonka-esque horrors?

 

[Death Metalist]

TAPES

 

[tesqui]

I will be very disappointed if they don't continue SMB2. That was some great content.

 

[Teddified]

Yeah hopefully they will bring back some SMB2, some great stuff there.

Super Beast Bros. 2

Yeah that's pretty much my entire collection, I found it recently going through some boxes. I bought in to HD-DVD after the crash, so I got most of those for $2-$3.

I also found my HD-DVD 360 add-on drive and it works with Windows 10. The even better news is it works with MakeMKV, so I've been ripping everything to put in my Plex library.

I have a decent Blu-ray collection, maybe 100 or so, pretty much stuff that I love. I slowed down a bit after we got Netflix and other streaming services in Australia.

 

[StudsMcKewl]

Second to what tho?

Empire Strikes Back.

[LiK]

I feel like Peter. Need to declutter and get rid of stuff i no longer care about. Selling a bunch of stuff on eBay.

It's incredibly heartening to see Alex be filled with laughter during the GBE Playdate.

bombcast June 2017: "we're starting to look at people"

"It's summer what do you expect, there are no *makes a slash through "games"* 'potential hires' to make content"

 

[Space Wanderer]

Whats the deal with Furikake? Every podcast I've listened to in the past week with a Blue Apron ad has gone from pronouncing it "Furi cock ay" to "Furi cake", and then saying something like "Oh, that's how you pronounce it, I guess." To me, the first one seems correct. WHICH IS IT?!

 

[Salarians]

FEAR CAKE

if it's this, foo-ree-kah-keh seems correct

 

[stump sock]

foo-ree-kah-keh seems correct

close enough as to make no difference.

"furi cake" might give me an aneurysm if i heard that

 

[broncobuster]

I just learned of furikake from watching MRE videos. Now it's showing up in my podcasts. It's a sign I need to track it down.

 

[Tubobutts]

Are you saying you know better than the OFFICIAL pronunciation guide provided to GiantBomb,com?

 

[Schlorgan]

Sent a UHD blu-ray of Star Trek Beyond to the office for Brad and anyone else to watch.

I hope they like it.

I always keep a jar of this on hand, it rules. if you get some, note that a little bit goes a long way (and it goes bad about a month after opening) so don't buy too much.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

so, uh

SMB2 didn't have a title screen when they played it

make sure you guys do the right thing

 

[TraBuch]

I've always thought it was crazy that Jeff just straight up plays roms on stream.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

sounds like he actually made a backup of his Wu-Tang game going by the Bombcast

[Scizzy]

I have no idea how it was to watch, but that call-in UPF made for a great podcast five days later.

 

[funkystudent]

Jeff seems like the kinda guy who actually dumps his own carts.

 

[Tagyhag]

I have no idea how it was to watch, but that call-in UPF made for a great podcast five days later.

Yeah I agreed, I stated here before that I had my reservations, but it was much better than the last one.

You can tell the crew tried to make sure no one could be awkward during the call.

 

[LiK]

Jeff owns practically every game ever made so any ROMs he uses to play on stream is fine.
