Giant Bomb Cast?

Giant Bombcast.

 

[Grisby]

Hoping for a Brad filibuster this year.

Also, I'd be fine with Saints Row, Skyrim, etc taking a bunch of awards.

 

[XcL_]

This week will need more Phantasmagoria.

 

[Gomu Gomu]

subscribing to this bitch. Can't wait

 

[Dany]

Go Portal 2!

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

This week will need more Phantasmagoria.

XcL_ endorses rape.

 

[Baller. PhD]

It's gonna be Saints Row.

 

[Duffyside]

Hour and a half until the video goes up, with no mention of a podcast yet...

Yeah, I think it'll just be one on Friday or Saturday.

 

[ryushe]

Wonder what Mr. Klepek will bring to the table this year.

 

[Volcynika]

Let's do this Skyrim. Or Deus Ex (I wish). Anything but Saints Row.

I hope it's Saints Row because you keep saying you don't want it to be Saints Row.

What? No crazy long daily deliberation podcasts? That's a bummer, if true.

Last year I was pulling for York or Deadly Premonition to win fucking anything, and got goose egg.

Come on Dark Souls.

It'll probably find a way into the lower half of Vinny and Patricks person lists, and Rorie/Will if they do one. It doesn't seem like Brad ever got around to play it before they recorded the podcasts though.

 

[twisteddeeds]

no this year.......... GOTY.................

a zelda game......

Skyward sword.....................

Last year they released the podcast and the recap at the same time iirc.

Just a pessimistic guess on my part. Hope I'm wrong, but it leads to less disappointment and more jubilation when you have realistic/lower expectations. Heck, it worked for Uncharted 3.

See, I hope you're right. Fingers crossed.

Im pretty sure that Brad played it...at least I think I remember him talking about it.

I'm partial to Skyrim. It's the game that re-ignited my love for the hobby.

 

[Xun]

People care about what Giant Bomb say?

 

[see5harp]

Ghost Trick was great but it really was a adventure game with trial and error gameplay wrapped up with some really great animation. It's not GOTY material regardless of whether it's a handheld title. Skyrim is my pick. I just don't see anything else coming close.

No, but we care what you say. So feel free to tell us how you feel.

I wasn't meaning it like that.

More than most others in the industry.

 

[slaughterking]

Well, then I didn't mean it like that either!

I'm not sure how we meant it, though.

That may be true, but I prefer rewarding new experiences than that of established formula's, and while Skyrim is great (really good, mind you) it's just a way better Oblivion, which was just a poor mans Morrowind.

Ghost Trick then and even now is unlike anything I've played this year. Same goes for Bastion, but that's a whole other fight I'd never win.

Completely forgot about Bastion. I can't remember them saying a single negative thing about that game.

 

[bearythebear]

I hope there's an award for best use of Dubstep. Trackmania 2 and Saints Row the Third are definitively up there.

 

[ryushe]

Completely forgot about Bastion. I can't remember them saying a single negative thing about that game.

They didn't even wanna review because of how much they'd gush over the game... that and the dudes over at Supergiant Games and GB is like what dubstep is to Trackmania.

I'm here for the spectacle and togetherness.

Your haiku took a wrong turn somewhere.

[No_Style]

The video is amazing!

The first part anyway. I haven't played SR3 yet, so I closed it after that.

 

[slaughterking]

Ryan is a highly gifted actor.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Shit, gotta play Saints Row.

 

[Edgeward]

Seriously, how the hell did Ryan get the

Spoiler

cyber gun

and is able to play deckers.die on the 360 version? Am I mis-remembering the order of events here?

Edit: Oh wait, I think I remember how you get the gun now.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Giant disembodied Vinny head should always be next to the couch.

 

[Typographenia]

Vinny, you are incredible. Love the presentation this year, hahahaha!

Dang it, I'll have to finish these later. <3 GB

 

[Tokubetsu]

HOW THE FUCK DID DEAD ISLAND BEAT WITCHER 2? WHAT THE FUCK!?!?

 

[LiK]

Incredible job Vinny

 

[Dark Schala]

The beginning of the video was brilliant. And I always figured Vinny was something like Zordon; the rest of the guys must be his teenagers Time Trotters with attitude.

Saints Row: The Third looks like a ton of mindless fun.

Will listen to podcast later. This is one of my favourite weeks on the Giant Bomb calendar; the guys put a lot into this, and the video/podcast editing is great.
