Anyone know if there's a Giantbomb squarespace coupon going around? Friend of a friend starting an eCommerce shop, wouldn't mind supporting GB at the same time.

I think it used to be squarespace.com/bombcast, which seems to be a url squarespace acknowledges but quickly rewrites it back to their normal homepage, so I don't know if it actually works for anything.

Where was this Hyrule Warriors QL people mentioned in this thread? I don't see it at all on their site.

It's not officially up due to what I assume is an embargo on longer form video (Nintendo almost always limits that form of content until release date, which sucks), but someone in this thread found the url for the video on their server. Go back a few pages and you'll find the description.

Will I be able to complete hack n slash without knowing a thing about Lua scripting?

Either way, one of the most surprising full projects that came out of amnesia fortnight and one of those innovative and ingenious ideas doublefine seems to excel at.

I'm wondering the same thing. After having watched the QL I kinda doubt it, but I'll still give it a shot because of how creative the game looks.

I'm fairly certain Jeff said there isn't a code anymore and they just operate under a regular sponsorship now.

where, what, how do i buy both of these things?!

The gamebomb.ru shirt was put up for sale for a limited time by Fobwashed. I believe the time has run out for that and that it's not up for sale anymore. But go bug @fobwashed on Twitter if you want another sale!
 
I created a gui interface in visual basic and tracked down the url for hyrule warriors. Just copy the download link for the hatoful quicklook and replace the title in the url with "hyrulewarriors".

Okay Everyone keeps posting this as the solution but I've attempted this 100 times and in different combinations, it just reloads the Hatoful Quicklook, not Hyrule quicklook.

Do I have to change 2300-9458?

This is what I do: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-hatoful-boyfriend/2300-9458/

I replace the part "hatoful-boyfriend" with "hyrulewarriors" I tried leaving Quick-look and taking it out, no luck still the quicklook for Hatoful Boyfriend.

Okay I got a link from this thread, however either through download or viewing in Firefox/Chrome it cuts off after a few seconds, anyone else experience this issue?

enter offer code "bombcast" at checkout. It was in this week's ad, first couple of minutes of the podcast if you want to listen.

You have to use the download link. I think it's for premium members only? You'll get a link that will be something like vf-hatoful-boyfriendxxxx.mp4. Exchange that with hyrule warriors and it will work.

Or find the direct link that was posted here yesterday (
It ends with mp4
).

replace the 4000 with 800 for the lower bit rate version

Though you've found the link now, just to clarify: the advice refers to the actual download link, not just the page where the video is embedded. I didn't post the link itself because download links are a premium benefit. As for the video itself, it's still working fine for me.

Okay something is going on,I've changed the part hyrulewarriors_ql_091614_4000.mp4 to hyrulewarriors_ql_091614_800.mp4 To get the low bit rate version as maybe it has something to do with it cutting off.

It says "File not found.", Could the cutting off be with Adobe Flash? Actually maybe not, I can not even download it as it drops from 8MB/S to 0KB/s, yeah something is wrong with the link when accessed through my ISP it seems in Australia.(Optus)
 
The irony of trying to download a high bitrate version of Hyrule Warriors when the Quick Look runs at like 480p for a majority of the time is something i find amusing.

This might be related to some download issues other users (and I) are facing at certain periods of time in the day in Ireland (for me roughly between 8pm and 1am), where download speeds drop to a couple dozen kb per second, or stop altogether like yours has. At other times of the day it's fine. It might be worth trying to download the file at different times of the day to see if there's a pattern for you as well, and maybe post about it in the bug reporting forum on gb.

New Bombin' is up, on both the regular feed AND the premium feed

Interesting....

1:02:11 for Premium, 1:03:26 for Regular members

Wonder if this is a one-time thing because it's pre-recorded

I actually do want my steak pre-sliced, but only if it's done tataki style (basically seared on the outside but raw throughout) and sliced really thin.

So good.
 
Man, Legend of Lagaia looks way more interesting than I remember. Completely forgot about the fighting game style commands.

I noticed in that video you're able to daisy chain special arts. I can definitely see where the depth can come from.

It's a middle of the road JRPG. The battle system gets boring fast and by the time you can leave the first island you're boredom will be bored. And i played it back in the day when i would play just about any JRPG, meaning i had a high tolerance for the stuff and i still want nothing to do with that game.

It's no bueno.

Well that's a shame. The framework is there to make a great combat system but it seems like it was executed rather poorly.

Still, a lot of people are nostalgic about Legaia and recommend it. I plan to play it eventually. Maybe on an emulator to speed things up a bit.

I just tried it. They must have renamed or taken down the 800 and 1800 files. The 4000 one still works for me, but of course it is huge.

I suggest waiting until it goes back up officially.
 
I guess South Park is still my game of the year. There hasn't been that many good games that came out this year, with everything pushed back to 2015. Did Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze came out this year or was it the last ? I haven't played that yet and I know tons of people swear by it. It could very well be my GotY if I played it.
