Utterly baffled by the love for Tomb Raider. I'm struggling my way through it now, and, it's just AAA-paint-by-numbers: the game, so far.
Don't tell me that

I had the same problem with the first game, which apparently everybody loved but me.

I think that at times too. He actually seems really intelligent when he speaks at times. So I can't believe it's not a tiny bit of an act

Austin, if you read this, was your "back...and to the left" during the black Friday talk a Seinfeld magic loogie reference? If so, no one gave you credit and I enjoyed it.

The new tomb raider is fucking awesome
Not a fan of Austin. Comes off as an ego head

They talked about it for 10+ minutes. Did your mp3 skip??man, that was a swift dismissal of the doax3 stuff. dismissal even in the news read.
Can someone point me to this alternate universe content where Austin is an egotistical bully? It sounds fascinating and I want to check it out!
I feel like I completely under appreciated Alex Navarro until he moved to the Beast Cast. He's a shining black hole now. Even coming back to the West Coast I still have the same heightened appreciation.
Best podcast in a while!
Curiously enough this podcast make me realise Jeff is the only one I actually dislike
- Casual misanthropy CHECK
- Recycled jokes CHECK
- Hating everything and everyone CHECK
- Why would you do that instead of --rant-- CHECK
- Dismissing everyone else's opinion CHECK
Maybe it's just an act, but mhee it just got old for me

The joke Austin made was "Unkill Han" not "Until Han". Seems like everyone misheard him, which is a shame. A++ pun work.
Man I'm excited for the Beastcast. Should be fun.

He says he got a 33 on his ACT and he likes wrestling so I bet he knowingly lets himself slip into character once in a while. He's like giant bomb jar jar binks, a highly competent sith who uses others' perceptions of him to his advantage.
Haven't listened to the Bombcast yet, but there is a GZA song where he works in all the NFL teams in his lyrics (except the Falcons for some reason). It's "Queen's Gambit" from the DJ Muggs vs. GZA - Grandmasters album.
I don't know of a Wu song that goes through the baseball teams.
The long food discussion in the middle of the podcast was funny but it also shows how Brad has zero control in the podcast room. Dude tried and wanted to move on but never had the power to do so. It's funny hearing him host cause it's obviously not something he excels at but it does provide some great moments.
They had 8 people this episode. He's had to host with that many people in the room how many times?The long food discussion in the middle of the podcast was funny but it also shows how Brad has zero control in the podcast room.

Best Bombcast in AGES.
Gets me mega hyped for the GOTY deliberations. Even Austin had a showstopper with that Until Han comment.
So basically a lock for Giant Bomb GOTY thenUtterly baffled by the love for Tomb Raider. I'm struggling my way through it now, and, it's just AAA-paint-by-numbers: the game, so far.
. People who don't like it are drunk.The new tomb raider is fucking awesome
I like Austin. If anything he sometimes seems like he's toeing line and afraid to get into it about stuff sometimes.
Alex drives me up a wall sometimes. I like it when he's being casual and frank about stuff. He showed that good side on Scoops & The Wolf a lot. What I don't like is when he goes into his pessimistic "The world is shit" tirades, that's blaaaaaaaah. Feels like he's compensating for something. Especially when he does his, "oh my life is a black whole of no escape routine".
I like every single person on this episode. Just a bunch of sweeties.
From what I've seen, people's negativity toward Austin is almost always unsubstantiated and comes off as a negative reaction to someone bringing a more cerebral perspective on games to the table. It often reeks of anti-intellectualism.
I could listen to Austin talk the smarts to me for hours and hours. I can't grasp how folks don't like him!
*swoon*
