Wasn't it on a podcast or video fairly recently where Jeff was talking about how a publisher tried to hold GB (or maybe it was back in the Gamespot days) to an embargo that didn't expire until after the game was released, and they wouldn't do it? I could've sworn he said someone was trying to pull that on them, and their response was "If we can go buy the game on store shelves (assuming a regular release and not talking about mom and pop shops breaking street date), it's OK for us to post coverage."

This was on last week's podcast, even, wasn't it? And to be clear, Giant Bomb did not agree to the AC Unity embargo. Alex is playing the game now and will post a review when he's ready.

 

[Archaix]

Word, dawg.

Maybe my favorite bombcast moment. I'm gonna go listen to this eight or nine times in a row.

 

[Egg0]

Wonder what GBWest thinks about Unity. I remember Jeff really liking Black Flag. Depending on the quality of Far Cry 4 and The Crew next month, they could do a "Most Disappointing Ubisoft Game of 2014" category.

He did agree to it.

It's why they didn't do Scoops and the Wolf until noon.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Ooh, shite, I missed the first couple of minutes of the show. Well that's a bit strange given the conversation on the Bombcast.

 

[Tamanon]

Word, dawg.

Dammit, now I'm going through old Bombcast clips on Youtube with Ryan.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Dan's expressions during MGS are the best.

 

[funkystudent]

They should do some episodes of MGS on the main live set and have Jeff or Brad sit in as well since they have some interesting opinions on the MGS games.

 

[daydream]

Started watching Sons of Drewberty.

Yep, this is Metal Gear Scanlon, alright. Good to have it back.

Seeing as things are a bit quiet on GB and GTAV is coming out again soon

Only Vinny would punch the hobo.

 

[Chance Hale]

Also the game runs ass on every platform it is on.

Runs fine on the PC if you don't try to jank up every single setting and hope for 120 FPS.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

"I gotta get my controls back..."

That scene killed me. I literally was in tears for like five minutes.

 

[NumberThree]

Oh god the Enforcer QL

Vinny plays the best games, and now my stomach hurts from laughing

 

[RepairmanJack]

Book club podcast between Drew and Dan? Sold!

daydreaming/ren where da thread at ?

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Been a long time since we had an early podcast like this.

 

[Megasoum]

I just bought Sphere on the kindle store. Haven't read that book in years so this is great.

 

[daydream]

Thread coming up! (Earlycast, thank christ)

 

[ArjanN]

Eh, they've kind of already said how they feel about it. I prefer Dan's enthusiasm, Jeff and Brad seem like they would be downers too much for a playthrough like this.

 

[Shiny Llama]

I did that exact thing just now.
The only Crichton I've read is The Lost World so looking forward to trying this one.

It's a great book and Crichton wrote some amazing stuff. I need to read JP again. So good.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

The reaction to Liquid Ocelot is everything I hoped for.

It's also the exact moment where Dan can unquestionably no longer claim that MGS is not anime.

On-time Bombcast.

daydreaming, Renpatsu's OPs are just out of this world

fixed, and yeah, he's great

who knew Australia bore such talent!

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Ren do you where thongs?

 

[The Dear Leader]

I wonder if Jeff "LT RT" Gertsmann will be playing instead of Drew "Mr. Halo" Scanlon on the Halo MCC Quick Look, that would be a damn shame.

 

[BobTheFork]

I expect Drew and Dan to be holding each other while Jason feeds them popcorn.

Forget the ending, I want to see their faces when the Colonel asks for a pair of scissors.

Going from twitter i think Jeff is going to drive the quicklook when ever the matchmaking works.

Agreed. As someone with no interest in watching these videos, I don't need them bleeding in the other content.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Just to let you guys know FC4 embargo ends on Friday. Also Kotaku won't accept games which have post release embargoes. I think GB might do the same.

 

[Volotaire]

I really want them to do a quicklook of the 3DS version too (Sonic)

Brad was just fine when they did the MGS2 trailers video. I wouldn't mind him being there.

run around as naked Raiden

[vgamer1]

Any idea when we'll see another Demo Derby?

Those are my favorite.

 

[PBalfredo]

I just want a new feature which is just Vinny playing a different open world game each week.

 

[Patryn]

Have we ever gotten the full story of what happened with Patrick and EGM? I know it was a bad time, but I don't recall what the details were.

 

[Teddified]

Ugh, I was looking forward to Unity too. I might just wait a few weeks to play it to see if there is a patch, but I kinda want to pop it in once I get it to see how bad it is.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Have we ever gotten the full story of what happened with Patrick and EGM? I know it was a bad time, but I don't recall what the details were.

He might be under an NDA that doesn't allow him to talk about it. Regardless, send him an email/tumblr message and see if he says anything!

edit: Oh man, didn't catch that Drew and Dan are doing a book club-type podcast on Sphere. Good excuse for me to finally read that book, has been on my list for well over a year now.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Seems like Brad "360 fanboy" Shoemaker has a new friend on tumblr.
