Everyone wanting Rorie to be on every Bombcast is fucking insane.

I think he'd be better used as a replacement for Brad in the ads with Jeff.

 

[skLaFarebear]

I don't think I'd be able to handle Roriecasts every week.

Maybe like once a month.

 

[kvk1]

i can't believe this rorie backlash

from the OG regulars no less

i thought i knew you all

 

[Bowlie]

Man, y'all been complaining about content drought since December

it's starting to get a little annoying.

 

[Infinite Justice]

I'm all for more Rorie appearances on the bombcast but i can expect fucking bedlam from other people.

Also Drew is great and yall are haters

we've been listening to years and it seems like some people act like this is their first Bombcast.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

This Rorie hate is downright disgusting, all of you need to take a dark shower to wash away the filth of your opinions.

 

[Scizzy]

My prevailing Rorie theory is that he's the perfect person to take over Jeff's spot when he's away. Both of them have eclectic tastes in games, both have some eccentric quirks in their personal lives and know it, and both leave you shaking your head multiple times a podcast.

rorie likes achewood so he's cool

Rorie best duder OP

Watched the Walking Dead Michonne QL. It's really amazing how little those games have changed over the past few years.

My favourite piece of Giant Bomb content that will never happen is...

Breaking Brad: Road to Champion's Road

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRGaIz5E7YU

Good challenge, and nice colorful fun game to get away from the usually darker games he takes on for Breaking Brad.

 

[KingKong]

I want to see Dan play through the classic PC titles he missed. Can you even imagine the comments section when he's going through Deus Ex or Thief

Tales from the Borderlands felt much fresher to me.

That, The Wolf Among Us, and Walking Dead Season One are all good Telltale stuff.

Game of Thrones is the bottom of the barrel - so bad. I dont have an opinion on this Michonne series yet.

 

[FirstBlood]

Rorie reminds me of the guy in line with you at a convention that talks too much.

Sure, he brings a certain energy to the table but I'm really not trying to hear that shit.

Champion's Road is a real fucker in that game. My roommate and I almost beat it co-op but ran out of time within sight of the flagpole. This would be the best Breaking Brad that will never ever happen.

I loved the first season of the Walking Dead game series or w/e you would call it, but still haven't gotten around to season 2 because every Telltale game looks the same to me.

He's already played it on camera, but...

...Danly DOTA.

 

[Salty Catfish]

Playing Tales From the Borderlands you could practically feel the engine straining to hold up throughout. It's a small miracle they were able to get as much out of it as they did.

I'm real interested to see how the engine holds up during their Batman game.

they did an amazing job with the limitations.

Yes.

I'm glad Tales from the Borderlands was better, but nothing I saw made me interested in the least. I tried Game of Thrones and got like half way through before stopping.

I love Giant Bomb and all but god I wish they were better about letting everyone know when stuff is happening. Jeff mentioned on UPF that Game Tapes will be coming this week, why can't he be a bit more specific? If he can't be specific, why not just say why? Are there any plans for another Mario Party Party? Plans for Wednesday streams to start more regularly again? If not, just say so so people aren't always waiting on Wednesday to see if a stream's gonna pop up on the schedule.

It's always annoyed the shit out of me.

[skLaFarebear]

Just a reminder that Tales from the Borderlands's first episode is free on most platforms. Unless you really can't spare an hour and a half, or just hate that style of adventure/narrative games, there really isn't much of an excuse to not at least give it a try.

They can't be specific because they don't know. It's better not to say anything, than to say something and for it to not happen.

 

[Chuck]

the telltale engine really is a rickety dumpster fire

 

[fwpx]

I enjoy Rorie when he is on, but by the time it is done I AM READY FOR HIM TO BE GONE FOR A WHILE.

This is kinda like when my parents come to visit. I'm excited for them to show up, but after a few hours THEY CAN GO HOME NOW.

 

[kvothe]

Rorie is a fascinating human being.

The only time when they were sure of something was the PlayStation Home stream. Set it up so damn far in advance.

wait

is giant bomb a skinner box?



ed: jeffs normal answer to all of this is to give less information if your gonna get angry. i can kinda see his point its a bit like the bombcast you can cope with getting it when its ready the other option is to hold it till wednesday morning so its "regular".

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Jeff mentioned on UPF that Game Tapes will be coming this week, why can't he be a bit more specific? If he can't be specific, why not just say why?

Because if they commit to a date and then it doesn't happen, people might get annoyed?
Maybe the production isn't done yet?
Maybe...etc.

(I'd rather he spent his time working than giving incremental updates that won't matter once the content is out)

Are there any plans for another Mario Party Party?

No, they're stopping at 5.

Plans for Wednesday streams to start more regularly again?

There was a stream last Wednesday. Want something today? Watch a previous stream you haven't before!

It's always annoyed the shit out of me.

Tell me about it! Annoying shit *is* annoying!!!

 

[Brashnir]

You may be onto something here.

i guess they probably aren't sure of when a video encoding is finished or when upload of said video is finished in time to post an exact time if it's in a queue. better to just leave it vague until it's fully done.

 

[Strax]

I don't think its unreasonable to want them to have a something other then the Beastcast and UPF on their schedule since they show it on their homepage. It feels like a strange halfstep, I know sometimes we get "________ Quick look" one day before it goes online but thats about it. If they were pumping out content left and right I'd understand but they are doing 1-1.5 video per day in 2016 and thats taking premium videos in to that number.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Kerbal, Beastcast and UPF are kind of the constants of the the upcoming , if they've got a batch of QL's ready then they'll appear a couple of days before but everything else tends to appear a few hours before.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

what if they're planning for the next BLLSL? Didn't they do it April of last year?

 

[Twin Tails]

Now Max Payne 3, that is a fucking game that takes itself way too seriously.

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

 

[jaina]

It's tough. I need some time to ponder my feelings about their content strategy and how I'd want it and the communication improved.

There's the potential problem of too much (medium quality) content I don't have the time for.
The volatility in their daily duties, availability of review copies, everything needs at least a 2 person team, premium vs. FFA.

Hoping for beast pumping out a stream today.

I suspect their response will be to just move to NOT putting things other than livestreams into that box rather than updating it more frequently.

 

[ratcliffja]

I just finished the latest Project BEAST (Episode 10) and I still can't wrap myself around this series. I basically had it on as mostly background noise for about an hour and 45 minutes, but when something actually does happen, the tension is crazy. With that said, it looks like the teaser at the end makes it clear that

Spoiler

they make it past the other part of the rocket that was faling to Earth, so it's very likely that they landed safely

.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

what if they're planning for the next BLLSL? Didn't they do it April of last year?

They might be working on stuff for GDC, BLLSL and PAX, it's potentially a super busy time for them.

EDIT: Game Tapes just popped onto the schedule for tomorrow.

Game Tapes 01: The Majestic Xbox
Premium Video on Mar 03, 2016 12:00 AM

Awwwwwwww yeah.

 

[NumberThree]

What is Game Tapes?

[daydream]

let's hope game tapes doesn't get demo derby'd. retro features have had it rough

 

[Keyser Soze]

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Aww yeah, Game Tapes!
