Listening to hte bombcast when Tomb Raider is released.

I really hate the double standard that Brad and Patrick argue about Lara in combat encounters. If it was a guy there would be no problem.

If you mean the death scenes, I wouldn't have been happy if they were a guy either. I did not like Leon losing his head in RE4. That was too far for me.

The problem with the death scenes is some of them were basically torture porn. If I am playing an action adventure game I don;t need to see the main character with a huge stick through her throat or crushed by a rock with her bloody face looking towards the camera moments after her pursuer says with a rape allusion "it will be over soon".

also, i don't want to hear a dude moaning in what can pass as an almost orgasmic fashion, either.

I though that was just the special Club Nintendo demo that didn't have a play limit.

Not sure about that.

But if Bayo has a limit and Nintendo is the publisher for that, that also makes no sense so I retract that part of my statement.

Who's even going to fire up a demo that often?

That's rubbish. Putting torture porn sequences in a game that was supposed to have a serious, realistic story is gross and unnecessary whether the main character is male or female. Put Nathan Drake in this picture and it's still just as off-putting.

 
The game has questionable written moments quality wise, in any case. I was laughing when
one of Lara's shitty friends died because he tried to act macho for her

Is that the guy on the boat who she moves into kiss as he's dying, but then she turns his head so she only has to kiss his cheek?
That was kind of hilarious.

Crazy deaths have been a hallmark of the series. Further still the latest Tomb Raider is inspired by The Decent which is a film which features female character dying horribly. On a final note trying to claim that Tomb Raider has a serious, realistic story is utterly ridiculous.

What is this?

Destiny raid.

I cannot wait to see Brad run the raid. I'm really interested in what roles he will take during the various stages. The raid is really cool to watch, it's heavily dependent on teamwork. Everyone has a specific job to do and one slip usually means a wipe.
 
I hope they throw up a Pix The Cat QL over the weekend... could be a fun one. It feels like a Brad game...

If only Destiny had not consumed Brad's soul :/

Doctor Tracksuit would immediately become a top 3 all time Metal Gear boss fight, the only problem is that his name makes too much sense to be an MGS villain. How about Irritatable Athleticwear?
 
Where is Sean Coonce, by the way ? I haven't heard from him in so long. And what about Anna, the video technician from years ago ? She used to be on the Tested podcast before moving to New York. It would be great if she came back to Giant Bomb since they now have an east coast office.
