Giant Bombcast E3 2010

Giant Bombcast

Okay, this is one of those “these episodes are out and you should check them out if you like Giant Bomb and the craziness that happens when they get a bunch of guests to come on and talk about games while drinking” posts. There really is no way to sum up all the craziness that happens here.

The game talk is heavier in the earlier episodes and the off-the-wall discussions reach an apex in the final episode with another polarizing appearance from Leigh Alexander.

(Day Zero) We run down the day’s events, including the Microsoft, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft press conferences, plus some first-hand Kinect experiences and the oversized Activision soiree at the Staples Center.

(Day One) With day one come to a close, we rap about the Nintendo and Sony press conferences, Zelda, our hands-on experiences with the 3DS, Jack Tretton, Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, and more Mortal Kombat than the law will allow.

(Day Two) This is one for the books. Nearly three hours of Jeff Bridges, regrettable impressions, even more regrettable wagers, Spec Ops: The Line, Rock Band 3, Dance Central, SOCOM 4, Fable III, Gears of War 3, Halo: Reach, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Def Jam: Rapstar, and more!

(Day Three) E3 2010 is over! As the Lakers win the Finals and LA riots outside, we produce plenty of our own chaos with special guests Dino Ignacio, Paul Barnett, Leigh Alexander, Eric Pope, Chris Tilton, and alcohol.

Runtime – 1:16:08 | 1:38:46 | 2:58:17 | 2:57:13

    Leigh Alexander ruins yet another podcast.

    • Erik says:

      By the end the show, it's really, really hard to defend her. When she was relatively sober, she had some interesting things to say. Unfortunately, she crossed the line really quickly. I had to fast-forward through a couple segments to get past her apologizing.

      Looking forward next year's episode! Love or hate it, I think it's a tradition now.

  2. Jesse says:

    She was fine and made some good points until Ryan left to do something then it turned into a trainwreck. There were times when I just fast forwarded it got to be so annoying. Still I think she should be on next year but get someone who can argue equally as strongly and something special will happen

  3. Ross Adams says:

    I think she was far better than last year. Which I guess isn't saying much. She definetly didn't talk quite as much and certainly toned down the random chatter about unrelated things. Leigh seems like she could have some interesting things to say in the right situation, I don't think a drunken Bombcast is that situation though.

  4. Alistair says:

    Unlistenable. I tried. I really did. Bombcast redeemed themself with yesterday's show, I wish they would just stick to the four of them, only show where guest spots ruin everything, credit them for that.
