Weird exchange in BitE:

Dan: "Did we pass this song up?"
Alex: "We just never got to it"
Dan: "this crapfest"
Alex: *sideways glance*

What made the Saturn bad in your eyes? Have you explored its import scene at all?

It has all of two games worth playing that also didn't run like actual shit. I'll say that Quake port is some next level magic.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Have you even played Air Zonk breh

Rondo of Blood makes Bloodlines look like Mirror of Fate.

PCE having the best Castlevania game of all time as an exclusive is a big factor in my decision making.

 

[Catvoca]

The megadrive may not be better than the snes, but it still has the best version of Aladdin.

Started playing Zelda and so far getting used to the controls coming from Horizon is a pain.

Haven't left the starting area yet and I've seen more impressing stuff that my entire time with Horizon.

Oh you got your Switch, cool beans.
Enjoy, Zelda is a time for forever I feel - I kept away from it for too long and coming back is a bit tough, but I do want to play more for sure.

The exploration is cool but BotW combat is inferior, imo

 

[The Technomancer]

Listening to the 1099 Abbycast and I do have to say I was a bit uncertain when she first came on how much she'd be on camera also, but I love that once it was clear how well she fit they've gone ahead and included her in all the streams and significant content

Giant Bombcast 491: Just a Bowl of Dough

Fresh off the state fair, noted Australian Ben regales us with tales of '90s bands and corndogs before we sink our teeth into Pyre, Splatoon 2, Kingsway, Fortnite, the Pokemon Go kerfuffle, the pitfalls of nostalgia, and a quick lesson on some slang from down undah.

Filed Under: Donkey Kong Jr., Atari, THQ Nordic, Wing Commander, Superhot, Pokémon Go, Pyre, Prey, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, Splatoon 2, Kingsway, Australia, Steven Spielberg, Axl Rose, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Hot Dog, Rum, Keyboard

Got it last week with Splatoon. Loving the system so far.

I didn't like fighting humans in Horizon, really enjoyed the machines. Zelda's combat feels like Zelda combat so far.

How dynamic the world is, even at the start, is a bit contrast compared to Horizons static environments.

Movement is also better. He "cinematic" climbing in Horizon was too fake.

These are my first impressions of course. There's still a lot of Zelda to be played!

 

[BUNTING1243]

turn around on these bombcasts has gotten so fast. thanks brad/jason!

 

[pizzacat]

My brother had a genesis and straight to ps1

I got a dreamcast with a fight stick and played all of its ports, looking back they were bad ports but it's what really got me into fighting games so sega consoles are alright

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

I wonder if aussie Ben and Margaret know each other?

Dreamcast MvC2 was THE way to play back in the day.

Dan just found out how big wolves actually are.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Both of our lists do show that the SNES was WAY better than its competition

 

[TraBuch]

Let's do a top 50 PS1 vs N64.

 

[Joeku]

LIST

You know, I read through the list and was about to say "Where the fuck is Dynamite Headdy," but then when I was typing the reply I finally saw it. Acceptable list.

Edit: Actually, where the fuck is Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Dan just found out how big wolves actually are.

Does he still think he has a chance?

 

[Joeku]

Does he still think he has a chance?

[TraBuch]

Did he watch GoT and see a direwolf and think it was real?

 

[Piston Hyundai]

by the way, those were just the first-party games

Puyo Puyo Tsu makes Mean Bean Machine redundant.

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

How do both of you have a list of Genesis games without Road Rash 2 and Vectorman 2?

 

[Joeku]

Puyo Puyo Tsu makes Mean Bean Machine redundant.

Oh is Tsu the one MBM was a reskin of? In that case, okay. Complaint retracted.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Nah, Tsu is the sequel to what MBM was. It introduced the offset mechanic and is an improvement in every way short of the look and sound of it.

 

[Necro]

Does the live link not work for replays anymore?

 

[Twin Tails]

Quick Look: Kingsway

What kind of dangers await Ben and Jeff on their way to see the king? Killer mushrooms, stealth assassins, and the deadliest of all - outdated OS management.

 

[Phediuk]

Shit, I'm realizing I even forgot Monster World 4 on my Genesis list.

Man, the Genesis was fucking great.

 

[TraBuch]

What would a Jaguar Classic have on it?

 

[Human Trashcan]

What would a Jaguar Classic have on it?

30 versions of Tempest 2000

and that bad Doom port

 

[Ashby]

30 versions of Tempest 2000

Would buy this before a Genesis classic tbh

Cannon Fodder
Another World
Flashback
Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure
Syndicate
Theme Park
Worms

[MassiveNights]

I don't know if they've changed something or my ears are broken but I think they've finally fixed Ben's audio levels on the Bombcast!

 

[Glass Shark]

Quick Look: Kingsway

I had never heard of this game until they brought it up on the podcast. Sounds really neat

 

[Human Trashcan]

Streets of Rage 2 alone is worth a Genesis classic because that game is too good for this sinful earth

 

[Ashby]

I just really like Tempest, man
