If they do a BLLSL this year, they need to do another segment where the introduce Blight Club. Just play it totally straight faced as a new feature.

Then never actually have any episodes the following year.

Rinse and repeat every year.

ahhahahah

 

[daydream]

i mean, who wants to deliberately play bad games. look at how rarely we get mpp. it doesn't surprise me that a feature explicitly focused on garbage (as opposed to, you know, clandestinely) hasn't even received its first episode, yet

I mean, if Alex isn't reviewing bad games then he still needs to be exposed to them somehow.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Is Brad right about DS3 release? I feel like I keep hearing late march or early april and I still don't know what one is true.

I actually just hope there won't be a BLLSL this year. What a waste of weeks of prepping for some ok content at best.

i never thought i'd say this but i'm rapidly approaching sans/undertale skeleton saturation point on tumblr. holy shit.

 

[Death Metalist]

Oh man, Max Payne talk again. Love the series but MP3 is my favorite one.

Also, in Arcade mode you can skip most if not all cutscenes. Seems like no one played Arcade mode, which is a shame because it's hilarious when unlocking the various skins.

Last year's BLLSL (+ the premium stream) was fantastic imo, easily the best one they've done.

 

[demidar]

The KnowYourMeme galleries are pretty much 50% Undertale.

It's starting to get under my skin.

 

[RepairmanJack]

I say forget BBLSL and do a return to form for the 24 hour charity stream. No more spreading it out with people at home. We want everyone together in the studio. It's gotten much more boring the last two years.

March is for Japan I think, everywhere else is April 12th.

Yellow Russians alone made it worthwhile.

Fucking Brad. Got me excited.

Those have pretty much nothing to do with each other.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Those have pretty much nothing to do with each other.

Yeah, but if resources need to be spent to plan anything I'd rather have one more than the other.

Plus I just compared them as being long live shows.

Yeah I guess it was better than those back in Ryan's days.

One of the best third person shooters I've played in years.

Those events are so far apart I doubt they impact each other in any way. The Extra Live stuff probably doesn't require very much planning, it's not like they're booking many guests for it or have segments. The thing that's keeping it from being 24 hours in the studio with more people present is, I'm guessing, that not many people on the staff are interested in doing it.

 

[Megasoum]

I need to give Max Payne 3 another try at some point.

All I remember about it was that it was very difficult and you wre interrupted by cutscenes every 30 seconds.

 

[repeater]

Correct.

Fucking Brad. Got me excited.

Well he is the anime editor

Spoiler

in my heart forever

, so it's only natural he is laser focused on the japanese release dates.

Yeah, it almost feels like an obligation at this point because if they quit that's a lot of money for charity that's being missed out on.

 

[Myggen]

Do we know what Brad's "on assignment" for in LA?

also as someone in their age bracket, it's pretty hard to do that to yourself

I don't understand why Drew is still on the bombcast, he literally is there just to interrupt the flow of the conversation. And he never plays any game to talk about in an interesting way.

It's because Drew has some serious dirt on Jeff and since Jeff hates Brad he would hate it if Drew told Brad the dirt

 

[LiK]

I just found Maxy Payne to be a serious that takes itself seriously. I can't enjoy that in a video game.

i never found it taking itself too seriously. they make it seem that way but the goofy Max Payne face, bullet-time shooting, hilarious mobster VO and over-the-top finale was pure camp to me. MP2 was way more serious, imo.

I don't understand why Drew is still on the bombcast, he literally is there just to interrupt the flow of the conversation. And he never plays any game to talk about in an interesting way.

when he interrupts with a question or quip sometimes, it results in a much more interesting conversation. Drew is underrated.

 

[RepairmanJack]

What is Jeff talking about not being in public relations? How can he forget Dr. Tracksuit like that?

So you're saying that Brad, Jeff and Dan are all soft?

been using too much of his client's product

Something that they let slip a few weeks back that I hadn't realized on my own is that apparently they're on a regular schedule of Jason and Drew trading weeks.

Now, watch me be proven totally wrong, but Drew I think dropped a comment talking about the problems with e-mails and him only being on every other Bombcast.

Yeah, Brad made a comment about sometimes having to sit on an email for two weeks since it was directed at either Jason or Drew.

 

[Bowlie]

Brad is.

 

[hamchan]

The rotation system is the best. I want to hear from both Jason and Drew.

 

[funkystudent]

Pokemon Gold and Silver are amazing and Game Freak has been spinning its wheels ever since.


I remember hearing back in the day that in the GBA games they didnt pull the same "and the entire previous games landmass is available to explore post credits" thing and was bummed out.

 

[Rainmaker]

Man. If some of you ran GB it would be way less fun for me.

 

[pizzacat]

I need some more Rory too tbh.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

We all know Drew is just there to appeal to the millennial audience and single women.
Jeff appeals to people who hate videogames and think they are all stupid,
Dan is there for the <10 demographic and Brad is just there because he owns his own microphone and it would be too inconvenient to buy a new one.

 

[LiK]

Man. If some of you ran GB it would be way less fun for me.

thank gawd we don't.

 

[kvk1]

drew is too good for all y'all

 

[pizzacat]

Why do people even want to hear about video games smh

 

[skynidas]

Why do people even want to hear about video games smh

i don't even care if drew talked about something else outside of videogames, he's just not good in the bombcast, he says things that don't make sense and are borderline cringey

 

[Myggen]

Drew is alright.

 

[Bowlie]

You are alright.

 

[pizzacat]

You can't handle the hot takes™ from one Drew Scanlon



Who else will do the Banjo laugh

 

[mnz]

Just make it 5 people!?

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Just make it 5 people!?

I assume they rotate so that there's always someone around to work on video stuff.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Just make it 5 people!?

Then who will edit and put up all the content?!

But seriously, I think they do record QL's early mondays before the podcast so one of them probably does have to work on that stuff.

 

[Bowlie]

A QL out of nowhere? yess
