KH does have one of Dan's favorite Disneys since Chip and Dale are the gummi ship mechanics.

And Scrooge/Huey, Dewey, and Louie. Yeah, this needs to happen.

they should definitely do it

after yakuza 0, kiwami, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

 

[ST2K]

Has anyone done the math to see if they'll actually finish Y0 by the time Kiwami comes out if they keep playing at their current rate?

If they keep it up at 1:30-2hrs per episode and don't lean too hard into management and cabarets and sidequests, they should be alright. They're on Chapter 7 out of

Spoiler

16+Epilogue, and the main story isn't too long.

Dan really is a Sora

and I guess that makes Alex Donald and Vinny Goofy

just remember sacrifice the sword and pick the shield and Dan will breeze through the game

This week's bombcast has the best take on Mario lore I've ever heard.

 

[Jintor]

You guys weren't kidding about this bombcast being idle thumbs ft brad

 

[NumberThree]

Oh wow a Giant Thumbcast

They should hire Chris and Jake

 

[MontyBrown]

I haven't listened to the Bombcast yet but as a huge Thumbs fan, I am very excited.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

The Bombcast was great. Lots of good video game discussion.

 

[Sakwoff]

The "interview" thing at the start of the Bombcast is weird, maybe they should have touched base a little before that. Felt like Brad was really struggling to reach for stuff to ask them about, while they didn't really give him anything.

Everything after that is great.

 

[oti]

Something I just learned: Remember Federation Force, that weird ass non-Metroid game they came out with that had no Samus in it? Apparently Samus is the fucking final boss. And she dies?

That's insane.

But that's the opposite of what I want from a Bombcast.

I saw Jeff and some others at PAX a few years ago. I called out to him "hey Brett!" hoping to say hello and get a handshake.

No reply.


I walked away.

you would have had better luck calling out to small business man i think. ever since vinnco went bust he's been down to meet with the peeps

 

[SeriuzBiznus]

Man, I'm so burnt out on Zelda talk. Now I know how some of y'all felt when Persona discussions derailed this thread.

So I ripped all F&F movies and added the podcasts to the audio track via a mkv tool. But only afterwards I realized there is an intro to the podcasts and now I have to resync everything, argh.o

Also there is a GB Video Palyer for Xbox/W10 now, syncs with the site even and has premium content. Pretty awesome. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/giant-bomb-video-player/9mtkpkvzh908#

 

[kiguel182]

So, how was the bombast?

Also, I have MGSV on a second screen while I build bases and do deployment missions to try and get those elusive final missions. I'm playing this like a clicker right now.

God, I was up too late yesterday, fuck Yakuza and it's cabaret clubs haha.

My story progression just grinded to a halt.

I at least managed to watch Fast & Furious before passing out.

My current ranking, 1>3>4>2

The new idle thumbs is pretty good. Brad is a pretty good guest.

 

[Real Hero]

it was actually good to have a zelda discussion without jeff there

 

[kiguel182]

MSG UPDATE: Apparently I have yellow deployments to do. I never noticed the tab with the offline ones so I never did them. Will this unlock more missions? STAY TUNED!

It's what is feeling like right now. Also, jarring to listen to Jason describe Full Throttle after the idle thumbs dudes going full on it.

I should listen to idle thumbs, I have a friend that is a big fan.

 

[Mupod]

unless they end up falling into an endless spiral of cabaret and real estate management (I sure did), the game starts to pick up the pace from here on. They've actually found a lot of the 'hard to miss' sidestories, as well. So unless they decide to actively seek out more, they might not dominate the episodes like they have been. I do hope they at least get a little bit into the slot car racing.

Just look up the dumb cutscenes. If you've played through the game to the first ending you've seen everything it has to offer. Once you've done the isolation unit mission (for the infected people on the base), you should stop.

I really enjoyed it, i'm always a bit sad when Jeff isn't there but it was a good show. Apart from the upsetting Harry Potter talk, Michael Gambon is a bad Dumbledore,

'DID YOU PUT YOUR NAME IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?!!!!!!' Just no.

Consuming too much MSG laden food does tend to make me have yellow deployments.

I'm in way too deep now!

Yeah, I don't get the love for the second Dumbledore. He might have been more compelling to watch but he lost the calm and charm that the original had.

Dumbledore was also a light hearted dude, always saying dumb jokes. The second one seemed to be always cranky.

Everything I say in this thread is distorted! Damn you!

Flinthook looks rad

 

[kiguel182]

Flinthook looks cool but being a roguelike is a bummer.

A tightly designed game with those mechanics would be excellent.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

"If someone literally just remakes [Firewatch], that's boring."

More true than he even intended it to be.

 

[KingKong]

I thought it was a good bombcast, its funny listening to the idle thumbs guys because they can actually articulate why they like Zelda and its mechanics in a way that no one at Giant Bomb has been able to

It was a stark contrast. Hopefully the new hire is a big improvement in that area. And that it pushes the others to improve, kinda like Austin did in the East.

Every time Remo says "jiffs" I do a Drew surprised gif reaction.

KH2 is the only one I played, and I remember it having a lot of Donald Duck. That seems like a Disney character Dan should like.

 

[Hindl]

Flinthook looks cool but I know I'd only play it for a few runs before not going back to it. Crypt of the Necrodancer is the only roguelike I ever stuck with, and even then I only made it to the 3rd world

Necrodancer is the only roguelike I ever really really got into, I still do the daily run basically every evening.

 

[dan2026]

I have never even played one second of Breath of the Wild.
But after hearing about it on podcasts for what seems like eternity, I feel I have completed that game five times over.

I am so tired of hearing about Zelda.
I feel like stuff like Horizon or Persona 5 barely got a mention. But Zelda goes on foreeeeeeeeever.

Well no one's playing Persona 5 on the West Coast, and Horizon kinda got buried by it. Horizon is an excellent open world game, one of the best in years. But then Zelda came out, and a lot of the duders who were playing Horizon dropped it for Zelda. And there's just a ton to talk about with Zelda. Regardless of your feelings of it and it's many flaws, it is legitimately one of the freshest open world games in years, and lends itself to a lot of in-depth discussion about what makes it special. Plus, given the nature of it, everyone is going to have different things to say about it, whereas a game like Horizon or Persona is more or less going to be similar experiences for everyone. But I will agree that it's kinda crazy they're still talking about it a month and a half later

I LOVED Rogue Legacy. It was the first game I played when I built my first PC a couple of years ago. I'd buy it again on Switch. And Wizorb. And this Hook game. Please.

There's just more to talk about when it comes to Zelda than Horizon, is my impression of it. I am a bit surprised by the general lack of Persona talk though. Not just on the Bombcast but in general. My own little Twitter bubble doesn't seem to care about it too much or they're just not talking about it.

 

[Antiwhippy]

But they talked about nier anyway so who cares if they don't talk about persona.

Giddy for the beastcast.
