I agree. Bombcast in its prime is the untouchable best podcast, but without the full crew it's just not the same and I enjoy the dynamic of the Best Friends more than the current roster, though Dan is a fucking madman and that is enjoyable

Oh, I appreciate the special brand of craziness that Dan brings to the crew. It especially seems like a no brainer in hindsight given his enthusiasm for wrestling on the Powerbombcast (premium podcast hosted by Alex Navarro), he fit right in with that group
Still, as Aaron mentioned, I'm more in love with the dynamic the Super Best Friends have these days than I do the current Bombcast. Still check in for the occasional quick look, though.
IT'S A LOCKDOWN, BABY!

I started listening right when Destiny came out and they wouldn't shut the fuck up about it, but one of them described hoodslam and I didn't care so much about all the Destiny anymore
Super Best Friends and Giant Bombcast are good compliments.

So I got a new ps3 controller and its analog stick layout is like a xbox controller.

Asymmetrical stick layouts in 3rd party controllers are a thing.

I had an "Afterglow" with that layout and loved it for the month it worked.

Fuck it. I may not listen to the podcast anymore, but I sure as hell miss their premium content. Next month I'm gonna rebuy my subscription and catch up on the shit I missed this year.
Why isn't there an opposite one. I can't find shit on that.

Its really nice, its Rock Candy? Its pink and you can see the guts. I really hope it doesnt break soon.
Yeah I really like Giant bombcast, I never really find myself disagreeing with them much even in the old 2008 ones, the only thing is that Brad has such an annoying attitude "Yurrhhh uuhhdunno" all the time every time he doesn't get something about a game and when they try to find out why he doesn't like a thing it's just "Yurrrhhh uhhdunnoo iggurrsss, whurturver lurts move on"
Jeff can sometimes sound a tad dismissive and not like a thing but usually he's really sensible about it by being like "But I'm not really the target audience for that game, and I think it does what it needs to but it's not my thing"
And I REALLY like that, more people need to be like that about things they dislike.

Why oh why would it be this time of year
I have $100 of purchases lined up still
I have $100 of purchases lined up still
none of them really talk about destiny at length anymore, brad has completely given up on it
Yeah, I agree with you, I like the friend cast because the zaibatsu has chemistry like no other group I've seen. Speaking of quick looks, their one for sonic boom was really good.
Yeah the GB crew is aware that they went overboard with the whole destiny stuff lol but now they actively try not to talk about it anymore

This much was obvious when by week 3 they were actively telling him to shut up when he brought it up
Great podcast though, I listen to it
There was a similar thing with Rockband and Guitar Hero, they just would not shut the hell up about those games and how they buy every version with every peripheral despite not really wanting to, they got over it eventually.
They like a lot of mainstream action sort of games like Halo and Call Of Duty 4 etc. and since Jeff and Ryan were point whores on XBOX live I'm not really surprised they probably talked about destiny relentlessly.

45 minutes a week, 3 weeks in a row
Sounds like Guitar Hero casts in 2008, In 2009 though they've talked about Fallout 3 every week for like 20 minutes.

bad gameplay lol

For real though, you don't remember the bombcast for their discussion of current games. You remember it for the dumb bullshit tangents they go off on, like the lack of major pizza places in Petaluma, or Jeff's plans to build a space catapult to launch all of earth's garbage/prisoners into the sun.
Good times...

First off, DOES GRUMPY CAT SERIOUSLY HAVE A LOGO

The logo, the concept, the all-american rock under a blue sky setting...
Definitely, Jeff doing bad trailer voices as a running gag has been hilarious.
That's what I was gonna ask. Like wtf, why??

If you like the Bombcast you may want to look in to 8-4 Play, which is also on the site. It's Biweekly and done by 8-4, a localization company for Japanese games. It's pretty interesting.
You can't be serious. I never watched wrestling, I really don't know if this is something I'd want to see.
Because milk.

Listening to Podcasts for information? Please, I only want specific chemistry between friends.

They're probably gonna have Cena do a promo where he asks grumpy cat how he feels about his opponent of the day and the answer will be unfavorable

It makes sense. They want to market the new Smash.
That being said, its kinda funny how Sakurai has has shown intense disdain for the competitive scene and does not want to Smash to be a fighting game and here they are trying to market it as a competitive fighting game at an event where people play competitive fighting games.
This and the whole "no one understands my genius" with the Kid Icarus Uprising controls, I honestly think he needs to check his ego and get his head out of his ass.

As long as he keeps making good video games I don't give a shit.
Kamiya is the king of ego.

All I know about him is potato salad.
Kid Icarus is a game I regret buying since I can only really beat 3 levels before I put it back for months because I'm tired of it. If they were going to have that control scheme make the levels 5-10 min at max. Not 15-25 min.
Permanently damage your wrist tho

I and several others basically said amongst ourselves how perfect the Wii U Gamepad is for an Uprising 2. Hell, I'd just buy an HD Uprising on Wii U. Hearing the Best Friends mirror this thought recently reminded me.

Where the controls that bad? Never played it.
jack_package_200

At least Kamiya can back that ego up with his resume and his complaints and justifications for complaints make a level of sense.
At least the game has the ability to rebind the controls. It still begs the question of why the default controls got past QA
It's a shame since I want to like the game. It's third person action game and it's really fun. But it's one of the games that if I could play it like a normal human being it wouldn't be a problem.

I never had trouble and could play for hours, but it varies person to person. Liam did the highest difficulty and ruined his wrists. He talks about it being worth it.
It's just how the game is designed, how else do you bind the controls?
Yeah he can be as salty as he wants. Just gimme smash 4
