Now I'm wondering how a pineapple and ham pizza with milk tastes like.
So adorable. Good stuff.

That pizza looks rancid before you even put it in milk.

Yup, same here. What a shitty site.
The durability issue seems like it would be a real drag coming from Nioh and Bloddborne.

Horizon Zero Dawn is like playing a young adult novel from 2011

The frame rate issues with Zelda are scaring me. I think I'm going to get horizon instead
Probably, plus family. Shame we never got more Bunch of Dads podcasts.

The framerate has been pretty smooth for me actually, but i only play switch handheld.

I've only noticed the occasional framerate issue but it hasn't been that bad. I've been switching between tv and handheld.

They really should release a 720p performance patch for the Switch docked mode sooner than later. BotW is not as choppy as Dragon's Dogma on consoles, which I couldn't fully enjoy til PC, but performance chugging is far too frequent. One encounter in a forest got so choppy and unresponsive I had to run out of there.
For what it's worth, the frame rate problems shouldn't prevent one from playing the game.

I just caught up on Film & 40s. I hadn't seen any movie in the Fast & Furious series before and actually enjoyed the first one a lot more than I thought I would. But Alex sure wasn't kidding when he said 2 Fast 2 Furious was bad. Their commentary was still entertaining, though. I love how much Vinny hated the movie.
This is just a great premium series. I'm really looking forward to the next episode, especially since I seem to remember Jeff mentioning Tokyo Drift a couple of times on the Bombcast. I can't remember the context but it always seemed like he liked that movie a lot.
(By the way, I'm not a native English speaker and I just spent way too long trying to figure out if my first sentence was correct. What's the difference between "I caught up on" and "I caught up with"? After a bit of googling it seems to me they are used interchangeably.)

My only option for Zelda is Wii U, heard it worse than switch
Hope to hear Vinny or Brads impressions

From what I've heard it is pretty much the same as the docked switch version with a lower resolution. Doesn't sound like it's a bad way to play at all.
In the Digital Foundry video they said that both versions have similar frame drops, just in different areas for some reason. The only big difference seems to be the resolution (900p on Switch and 720p on Wii U).

Wii U BotW is fine. Framerate can get rough, but from what I gather the Switch version is similar. Plays great and is a lot of fun.
The weirdest thing is how little the gamepad is used. It's for precision motion control (and works quite well!) or off-screen play, nothing else. I'd like to have some info down there at a glance; however, it's probably best that everything is onscreen at all times. e.g. Pressing the home button and then immediately returning to the game causes a decent loadtime, so I imagine BotW is pushing the Wii U to its limits.

I think I'm going to wait for the switch to be back in stock and trade my wii u in

Been playing on Wii U and it runs fine. Both versions have similar dips.
Yeah. I was poopooing Film & 40s before but after sitting down and actually watching it it was much more entertaining than I thought, can't wait for the rest of the series.
re: grammar, i'm not 100% but "caught up with" would be used when talking about a person. I don't really know the rules for inanimate subjects though, probably fine to use either.

Brad said a while back on a Bombcast that he's cutting down on social media in general, which I feel is a good thing to be honest.
I should do that too. I hate myself whenever I catch myself mindlessly browsing Twitter. Deleted it off my phone.

I'll be interested to see what Dan and Vinny end up thinking about Tokyo Drift. Its certainly my favourite Fast & Furious movie but a lot of that is from how dumb it is.

Weapon durability isn't a flaw in Zelda, it's the whole gameplay loop. It encourages you to use a wider variety of weapons, and the vast majority of the rewards for exploration are either weapons or collectibles for exanding your inventory,
I have made my peace with the idea of not playing Zelda for a while, since I still have Horizon and a ton of other games. I will probably pick up a Switch later this year during a holiday deal or as a bundle. Maybe by then they will also have announced more games. And maybe Zelda will get a performance patch in the meantime (probably not).

It's his last week with Giant Bomb.

They've played some sweet games for this. Some of them aren't really great livestream material, but man.

Last PAX GBEast announced a endurance run.
This PAX GBWest counters by announcing they are now a two man team.
Sounds about right.

Durability in Zelda is... fine, but I don't really think it adds anything to the game. Weapons all seem much of a muchness really, I never feel like I need to save a certain sword for a special occasion or anything. You break your weapon killing an enemy, pick up theirs, break that killing the next enemy, pick up theirs... etc.
It's an odd mechanic in general. It doesn't particularly bother me, but if it wasn't in the game I don't think anything would fundamentally change in how I play it.

Kind of don't even want to joke about that at this point

Nothing about a Jeff / Brad Endurance Run seems exciting.
You need a agent of chaos for a endurance run.

Over Vinny and Jeff, sure. But I'd take it to get some precious Brad content.

Haven't had any issues so far.
Rorie was right about Ian.
