The GB merch store is kinda a mess. From taking so long to approve shirt designs and weird shipping options, to this latest poster snafu. They only ordered 1000, which seems low but I guess they were mindful of having to sign so many, but then the store fucked up and took too many orders, so they will have to print more now.

It (the store) isn't a priority because they claim it doesn't make much money but you would think a huge corp like CBS could get a much better wholesale deal. Think how many shirts with a simple gamespot or giant bomb logo they would sell.

Fattony in the Humble Sid Meier Bundle thread posted a link to a mod he made putting the Nation of Taswell in the game. Seems pretty cool!

Ryan did always love a good céilí.

Vinny's little musical interludes/edits into the podcast are so good.

That jingle during the intro of Patrick's story about EVE was adorable.

 

[Liamc723]

In the "Coming Up On GiantBomb" section, it says the Breaking Brad: Demon Soulsathon is at 9pm, but I'm in the EU. Does the time change depending on your time zone or is just stuck to an American time?

 

[Zaph]

It adapts to your local time zone. It's a Soulsathon today, so starting early.

Thanks! I'll be able to watch the live stream then.

Yeah I dunno... I like the idea but I think he's doing way too much of it. Takes 10min to tell a 2min storry. Also the music is often so loud that it makes it difficult to actually understand what the person is saying.

Edit: Ok the Email intro is great haha.

 

[NumberThree]

Aww, Breaking Brad got pushed back a couple of hours and now it's a bit too late for me. And here I was making room in my busy schedule for watching it!

 

[Limit]

Yeah the audio editing in this week's bombcast is shoddy at spots. All those musical interludes when Patrick was telling his story came off grating. The musical interludes during that segment served nothing except destroying the whole flow of Patrick's monologue.

 

[kvk1]

Man, I thought they were great.

Spiced the segments up a little.

It's about time.

 

[LordCanti]

That Soulsathon is going to be great later. I'm buried under a mountain of snow, so anything to pass the time is greatly appreciated.

Yep, same here.
This is what it looks like right now

and no, I'm not kidding (I didn't make the photo though). So I hope the stream will last some time so I can call for help in the chat if I'm dying.

 

[bodine1231]

All the audio cut-ins were annoying as hell. I had to skip Patricks news segment because I just couldn't take it anymore, which is a shame because I think that Patrick does a fantastic job with the news stories.

You're a model

I really like the extra vinny flourish. Vinny hosted podcasts are a amazing mash of nonsense thats just fun and happy

 

[mnz]

The EVE story looks like it took a while to pull together and will not traffic for shit - where are those guy who were insisting that GB was just in it for the clicks?

Apparently it's doing really well: http://patrickklepek.tumblr.com/pos...for-the-outstanding-article-on-the-eve-battle

I look forward to listening to this podcast!

The news should just be removed from the podcast as they don't usually comment much on the news anyways just go off track and talk about cheese burgers etc.

 

[alr1ght]

Sound effects usually work great when they're not done in post. I wasn't too bothered by them.

 

[mattp]

does anyone know if giantbomb is still hosted on amazon's cloud service?

because:

this would explain it, if gb is still on aws



edit: confirmed, still on amazon

Man, 2008 Giant Bomb was weird

Early Giant Bomb stuff reminds me of skate videos from the late 90s/early 00s from the likes of Baker.

Just real raw and full of shenanigans aimed at the audience that it lives to entertain.

 

[chriskun]

This is wierd, I'm sitting on the bus and brad shoemaker just sat in front of me while I listen to the bombcast. It's like he's talking to me.

This needs to get more meta, offer to listen to the bombcast together

edit: it'd be hilarious if he's browsing gaf on his phone and reads your post

There's no way I'm turning around right now.

He is Mr. Bojangles

 

[MuddyDonut]

[Deleted member 22576]

The eve article was epic. It felt like a real war.

 

[mattp]

the only thing to do now is take a picture of brad and post it here

Don't, I prefer this somewhat unrequited. It's like a spike Jonas movie

Could all that snow crush that house? That's gotta be super heavy.

He has three choices: a white dude with wet curly hair, black girl talking about strippers, and an asian gangsta guy

 

[Grisby]

Ask him to sign your chest.

 

[def sim]

Tell him how you really feel about his Demon's Souls build.

 

[D4Danger]

It's obviously the gangsta

throw up some gang signs, Brad.

 

[chriskun]

Don't ruin this moment philistine

 

[Kerned]

a white dude with wet curly hair, black girl talking about strippers, and an asian gangsta guy

all walk into a bar...

 

[Incandenza]

Well this got strange.

 

[Megasoum]

You guys need to post a selfie together or something.

 

[funkystudent]

Claerly the best course of action is to stand up and scream "GIANT BOMB!".
