Giant Bomb #8 | It's a Hit!

Having never played the early Mario Parties, I'm surprised they actually had a stage where the star stayed put. That's probably my main gripe with the later games, where the star kept moving and it was hard to maneuver around the board. since most of the fun comes from the mini-games anyway, piling on weird mechanics to the board just makes it frustrating.
 
Oh hey. Lovely Planet's soundtrack is by Calum Bowen who also did this catchy song for Cloudface.

I really think UPF suffers when Jeff isn't there.

Agree

I think it just suffers from repetition, here is Drew playing some flying game where not much happens, here is Jeff with his old system/old game, here is (or was) Patrick with his weird indie title etc.

Some of my favorite GB content is when they focus on one thing, like Brad and Jeff playing Mortal Kombat games on the couch years ago, you learned things but also had a good laugh plus saw some good matches between the two. It never felt like they were fishing for "funny moment", it was to educate people on the series if they were unfamiliar with it. And it just happens that MK3 has to load Shang Tsung's transformations and that was funny, or that stupid video of that late 90s band that made a video for MK Deadly Alliance

UP feels like playing shitty games/games with funny rag doll in hopes that something funny happens and everyone laughs.
 
I really hope GB do a Gamescom live stream like last year. After E3 I'm not sure I'd want to watch any press conference without Jeff dropping truth bombs in the background.

Unfortunately the Microsoft conference is starting at 05:00 AM PST and 08:00 AM EDT, so unless GB East decides to get up early and do something, a stream of that seems unlikely..

Edit: And Happy B-Day Jeff!!
 
Dan's voice sometimes sounds like a hyped up Norm McDonald.

After watching that Super Replay (aka Endurance Run) of MK Shaolin Monks co-op he did before he left Game Informer, he just sounds like an old man to me. There were a bunch of times during those videos where he was trying to "WOO" like Ric Flair and he couldn't do it and ended up sounding super raspy. The other guys started making fun of his Woos even.
 
I feel like some editorial restraint was needed, and Undead Overlord did not need to be covered by the site.

Absolute mess of a thing right now - not even a game. Vinny could not even come up with anything clever to keep the video fun

Since it's being sold for money on Steam I'm glad covered it. Probably saved some people $15.

It was probably his mailman dad.

He heard all those Stamps.com ads and does not approve of the new Job.
 
i've gotten packages using that material before.

I dont know why that shit is a thing, really. It's might as well be glitter because i makes just as much of a mess.
 
OK, I just started this week's bombcast and I realized that Dan doesn't know how to pronounce Giancarlo Varanini's first name even though they've presumably known each other forever and have been on the same podcast for over a year now.
 
That packing is only really a problem if you rip the tops off of envelopes IME. I am a "careful unsealer" in case I want to reuse the envelope. Thrifty Tips.
 
I appreciate that Dan has his dad's full name entered in his contact details. I do that for my parents and people think I'm weird for not just putting "Mom" or "Dad".
 
Happy birthday, Jeff :) I thank you for doing what you do. You guys have gotten me through some of the roughest parts of the past several years. Remember that.

Thank you hero
 
What QL was Brad talking about on the podcast this week where he said he hadn't laughed that hard in a "Hwhile" (I swear he pronounces 'while' like that...)? I didn't write it down and haven't found it by scrubbing through the file.

Think that was when they were talking about the Velvet Sundown QL.

I can confirm that Brad says h'while... and I can also confirm that Vinny says fo'ward.

Language is neat!
