It's crazy how much more chemistry Dan has with Vinny and Alex than Jeff and Brad.

To be fair, Vinny has chemistry with everyone

 

[LiK]

Vinny is the heart of GB.

 

[funkystudent]

Vinny is the heart of GB.

Dan is the Mesentery

 

[Bubba_Sparks]

Does anybody know if GB is planning to take a look at CrossCode? Seems like it would be right up Jason's alley!

 

[No_Style]

Oh my! @ Dan's animal stories on Stardew Valley playdate

 

[dfa records]

Welp. The vinny-teaches-dan podcast sure didn't take long to get going.

Its ez to have chemistry with people who are too nice and too nonchalant to disagree with you

Alex is GB's best straight man and Vinny is Vinny.

Frog Fractions 2 looks... really boring

 

[BiggNife]

Yeah. Vinny's ability to bounce off of literally everyone is masterful.

Frog Fraction as a game was really boring.

 

[Blitzrules240]

I watched a stream of FF2 instead of playing it. I had to FF thru some of the blah TXT World stuff.

 

[Justin]

The Hitman discussion at the end of the Beastcast great.

 

[Phediuk]

In the 5/6/2008 Bombcast, Ryan and Jeff discuss Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, and Jeff says that he thought the title was "Motorstorm: Pacific Rim, but that must be a different movie."

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Reel Big Fish's cover of Take On Me is classic.

But that's a terrible cover.

i'm enjoying your updates.

I've also been liking these little reminders of Bombcast's past.

I like Frog Fractions because it made both Ryan and Jeff giddy. Like many old games that Jeff plays, I love hearing and watching about them but I cannot be bothered to play it for myself.

What is Dave Lang?

 

[Phediuk]

Also, Ryan and Jeff were really pumped for Resistance 2 in the same episode. Jeff said his mind was blown by the technical achievements of what he saw, and is bummed that everyone is excited for Killzone 2 while Resistance 2 is "quietly amazing".

I don't recall them giving a shit at all about Resistance 2 when it actually came out, but I guess I'll get there soon enough.

 

[Salarians]

you could ship Vinny with anyone

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Speaking of Mass Effect 2 saves, between ME2 and 3 I switched from playing games on console to PC. When ME3 came out I was able to, through an absurd series of extractors, converters and other magic I didn't understand, import my Xbox 360 Mass Effect 2 save into the PC version of ME3. It felt insane at the time.

 

[Phediuk]

Also, Jeff was obsessed with Audiosurf for months. He was really high on it back in February and he's still raving about it in May.

I'm enjoying these little flashbacks. Wish there was something similar to the GB History twitter, but for Bombcast predictions/quotes.

Are you plowing through all content from the very beginning?

I neeeever understood Audiosurf's appeal. You import whatever music you want and then it generates a level that vaguely translates the loudness of the song into your speed and then adds a bunch of other shit that rarely lands on the beat.

 

[Tubobutts]

But you shouldn't.

 

[kai3345]

But you shouldn't.

lol that was such an amazing moment

 

[Death Metalist]

But you shouldn't.

You are the master of the Volgarr

Gets me everytime.

has Dan tried taylor ham yet?

It's pork roll damnit!

 

[Glass Shark]

After this year's GOTY discussions I decided to go back and listen to all previous years again.

I'm still mad about Destiny.

 

[Phediuk]

In the 5/6/2008 Bombcast:

Jeff: "I think it'd be cool if a new X-COM came out and mattered like the first two did."
Ryan: "I don't think that'll ever happen."
Jeff: "I think you're probably right."
Ryan: "I think that was a 'moment in time' kinda thing."
Jeff: "It'll probably be the sort of thing you see with Fallout, they'll announce, you know, if they're actually working on this, they'll announce the X-COM game, it will be vastly different than what the, the first couple of games were, and as a result, everyone will turn on it and go, 'This is evil, you're ruining the--the series has been ruined.'"

It really does

 

[Death Metalist]

Chat is up. We best in the series now.

 

[QFNS]

Counterpoint: Frog Fractions 2: The Game Not the ARG is fun and worthwhile. Don't watch a video, just play it.

 

[Phediuk]

In the 5/6/2008 Bombcast, Jeff said that GTA4's story was so emotional and hit so close to home that he had to stop playing at one point.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I found my old game collection when I was home and now I'm sitting here debating whether I should try and play Dungeon Lords. The only memory I have of this game is that the world was completely empty and I glitched into a locked room after 5 hours and stopped playing. But I'm 99% sure I'm the only person in the world who bought this game, so it'd be interesting to see more of it? I guess?

Now I am trying to figure out context.

Did he mention which part of the story? Did he have an annoying cousin?

 

[Zornack]

It has to be a point where someone dies.

 

[Death Metalist]

We live.

 

[Catvoca]

Probably

Spoiler

Roman's death

 

[broncobuster]

Yeah. Sounds like the ARG was the interesting part of it. And unlike Frog Fractions where you learned about someone sending you the url saying to check it out and gradually uncovering what it is.

 

[Phediuk]

Later, Jeff says GTA4's story is "absolutely fantastic", a "watershed moment for gaming", and that it blows away Mass Effect and Half-Life.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

West should start a feature called Better Bombin' where they play the Battle Network games.

I beat GTA4 way back and I cannot agree with this at all.

HELLO MY COUSIN WOULD YOU LIKE TO GET BOWLING AND SEE BIG AMERICAN TITTIES

I kind of wish he would check out more games.
