It's the Giant Bombcast with Jeff "Skilljaw Ripforce" Gerstmann!

Wait, who's Jeff in that OP?

 

[wenis]

waiting for this to go live on downcast already

 

[nckillthegrimace]

WTF Alexa? Hyrule Warriors is not trash. Was the fucking best musuo game I've ever played, and had some great art for the Zelda characters.

I missed that segment. Does she dislike all of the DW games, which is fine, or like DW but hate HW, which seems crazy?

I think she hated the story since it wasn't Zelda like.

She seems to like some of the other musuo games, they were mainly talking about the new attack on titan game. She said something like it was a terrible story for the Zelda universe.

 

[ArjanN]

Yup...

No doubt some people went too far, but apparently compiling things the developer's claimed is a witch hunt? Always annoying when the enthusiast press feel the need to use defensive language on a dev's behalf as their initial stance, then discuss from there.

As someone not in the enthusiast press, a lot of the negativity around NMS comes across pretty circle-jerky and overly dramatic to me.

Why no podcast yet...?

Why no podcast yet...?

Takes a long time to remove all of that anime talk.

Giant Bombcast 444: Cricket Mouthfeel

Alexa Ray Corriea shows up to sell us on anime. Brad retaliates with Dota. An accord is struck over Bound, the new Deus Ex, that slim PS4, Tekken 7's precious moments, "Metal Gear" Survive, and exotic energy bars.

 

[hamchan]

Good to see more guests appearing on the bombcast, perhaps by necessity with Dan gone, but it did feel like it was one guest bombcast per year for the past few years.

 

[renzollo]

For reference. Here's the sharpshooter Brad was talking about. She looks like a villain in a Suda51 game.

I have no idea what that is in reference to as I haven't listened to the podcast yet. It doesn't matter, because it's amazing even by itself.

 

[javac]

Doesn't feel right to just listen to the podcast anymore, I need to see it D:

Pretty much.
Next up is us on the couch

 

[ScientificPizza]

Drew is amazing

 

[CSX]

Wow they read my email again.

feeling honored

Who needs a reference?

 

[Forkball]

I liked how they talked about the Olympics for fifteen straight minutes and almost forgot the Prime Mister of Japan popped out of a pipe as Mario, the most video game ass thing to ever happen.

 

[Curufinwe]

I'm not sure what Drew was doing, but you could watch any sport you wanted live thru the NBC app. That's how, for example, I saw the women's pole vault finals. On the east coast NBC only showed parts of them in between live track races that were happening at the same time.

really enjoyed the part where Jeff talks about how he doesn't care about a popular event. Fascinating stuff as always

Yeah..."who watches this anymore?" Only like 30 million people on average in the US.

[firehawk12]

Was Alexa previously at Polygon or something or am I just crazy?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

This gif is the best.

I picked the wrong episode to not watch live (although I didn't have a choice)

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Was Alexa previously at Polygon or something or am I just crazy?

Yes she was.

 

[Curufinwe]

I thought I was already following Alexa on twitter, but I wasn't. Now I am.

This is the Mo Farrah of posts in this thread.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

At least they remembered to mention Mario at the Olympics.

 

[FStop7]

Things I learned in this thread:

Capcom is on the brink of going bankrupt
Nobody watches the Olympics
Pointing out specific things in a complaint is a witch hunt

I thought she was an EMT in New York. Maybe I'm crazy too

 

[eot]

The fact that GitS is such a slow movie is also what makes it great. It's more about mood than plot.

 

[funkystudent]

Of course Drew is trying to get a actual pilots licence.


Alexa was a good guest. MORE gamespot guests please.

Who needs a reference?

Looks like someone could pull out a NES Zapper and fit right in.

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Nobody watches the Olympics

NBC's want to delay Olympic broadcasts by 5 hours so they can do network editing always irked me, especially Rio's.

They put Water Polo on at 2 AM, I don't have the schedule for that shit.

At this point I'm sure more people saw Mario at the closing ceremonies than they did the actual olympics ; ^ )

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

what the fuck thunderbolt fantasy namedrop on the giant bombcast

 

[popo]

The target shooting guns are odd but the Modern Pentathlon uses actual light guns for the running and shooting event.

I thought she was an EMT in New York. Maybe I'm crazy too

You are thinking of Danielle Riendeau, also ex polygon.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

The mention of Dai Gyakuten Saiban really hurt my soul.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

"Witch Hunt" huh. Taking what a person said at face value into a big thread is a witch hunt?

 

[EatinOlives]

They were talking about bringing back other SNK Fighters and mentioned Samurai Shodown.

That'll get people's heads turning, but you know what'll really get people's heads turning?

Guest fighter: Genji.

I thought about it this afternoon and I'm surprised at how much I want this to happen.

 

[chaobreaker]

I love how Brad and Jeff only reference for good anime is the 80s cyberpunk direct to video variety.

 

[Data West]

Personally, I'm disgusted by Jeff's Witch Hunt of Musou games.

 

[Zaph]

I love how Brad and Jeff only reference for good anime is the 80s cyberpunk direct to video variety.

well, that's when they were teenagers and it was acceptable to watch anime

 

[patapuf]

To be fair, that's a pretty good kind of anime to like.

 

[kiguel182]

The olympics talk was a bit dumb. I mean, it's one of the biggest (if not the biggest) sporting events in the world. "who watches it?" is a dumb thing to say.

Like, I get not being interested but it's not a fringe thing.

 

[eot]

I don't know anyone who watches it.

 

[chromatic9]

That 2 Live Crew reference

I do like anime manga from the 80 early 90s, after that the style shifted towards more cheesy, kawaii jpop and too much of modern culture. You see it seep in FFX and so on. FF13/15 are this in full effect.

in this episode they talk about how they like Bubblegum Crisis and Macross which are about pop star magic mechs and all female merc groups

The ratings in the US were apparently not good.

Yes I heard.
