Giant Bombcast 02-08-2011

by Ross Adams in Games366 days ago

It takes almost a full 30 minutes before this weeks Bombcast gets on topic, the guys first discuss the superbowl or at least the parts surrounding the super bowl. Vinny manages to segway into the game talk as his brother was visiting and they played a bunch of games together. They played Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2, Jeff also played and neither of them are particularly high on the game. Vinny didn’t like that he was constantly running into parts of levels he couldn’t access until he had a new power-up or weapon. While Jeff praises the...

A slight worse for wear Ryan returns to the hosting chair this week. Vinny quickly starts the game talk with Dead Rising 2, which he has gone back to once again. This time he has purchased some of the DLC costumes and weapons which make things alot easier. He sounds like he’s going through the game more to check it off his list rather than out of enjoyment. There’s alot of Dead Space talk, with Ryan playing through Dead Space 1 while Jeff and Brad have just finished the sequel. With lots of media surrounding the Dead Space fiction, with...

Ryan is out with an injury this week so Jeff takes up the hosting duties. Brad and Vinny are a bit mistrusting at first however after being duped into appearing on Jeff’s other podcast. Brad starts off the game talk with Dead Space 2, which he can finally talk about in more detail. Thankfully he doesn’t go into too much detail other than to say it’s an exceptionally made game which isn’t overly different to the first Dead Space. Lots of small tweaks and additions to the gameplay and UI make for an impressive sequel. He also...

Vinny is out this week so Alex Navarro steps into the empty chair, the guys also haven’t been playing alot of games so it’s a more news heavy show than usual. Alex played some Raskulls and although he doesn’t seem to feel too strongly about it he had fun with it. Jeff played a significant amount of DC Universe Online and is not a fan, the PS3 version especially isn’t particularly well made in alot of ways. The menus haven’t been streamlined for consoles and the game itself often runs at a less than ideal framerate....

Jeff Gertsmann returns this week, with tales of go karting during his break. Before any game talk Vinny and Ryan discuss the movie Predators that they recently watched. Which leads onto a discussion of what Predator society might be like, surely there has be be an Costumer Service Predator? Brad regrets bringing up Tron: Evolution again as he learns it inevitably leads to discussion of Tron: Evolution which the guys agree is a bad game that could easily have been much better. Vinny talks about his varying emotions in relation to Dead Rising 2, he...

CastMedium Podcast Awards 2010: listeners’ choice

by Jonathan Downin in Features405 days ago

Wow– just wow. I have to say right up front here that I, along with the whole CM crew, were blown away by the response this year. It’s clear that we are not the only ones who are passionate about podcasts with 5,500+ votes submitted for this years listeners’ choice poll. Just to put that into perspective, last year’s poll garnered 338 votes. Crazy town. It was great to see that no single podcast ran away with the vote this time around. It was contentious up to the very end with 3 podcasts leading the pack. Here’s how...

CastMedium Podcast Awards 2010: Erik’s picks

by KirePDX in Features406 days ago

3) Irrational Interviews I’ve said before that one of my favorite experiences is listening to smart people talk about smart things; and I realized this year that many of favorite shows provide this almost every week. The Gianbomb, IGN, and other crews are all hilarious and entertaining; but really, they’re generally smart guys and girls who are talking on subjects they are passionate about. However, Irrational Interviews made its focus on talking to a selection of leading representatives from a range of industries to take a broader look...

The regular crew are joined by Popcap’s own Jeff Green for this weeks Bombcast. Some general conversation kicks off the show as usual, some of which of course focuses on Jeff Greens move from EA to Popcap. The free Doritos games released on XBLA this week start the game talk, Harm’s Way gets quickly written off but the Wipeout inspired Crash Course gets heaps of praise. Vinny and Ryan played some Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit together, with Ryan playing a whole lot more on his own. They love the game, they note that the autolog social...

Giant Bombcast 12-07-2010

by Ross Adams in Games429 days ago

Things kick off in a oddly morbid fashion this week with a discussion of meat based meals leading to stories of animal butchering and other related farm activities. With that out of the way it’s onto Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood, which Vinny has now finished. This leads into a debate about save systems, with Vinny commenting that Brotherhood telling him he’s lose unsaved progress wasn’t especially helpful since it didn’t give him the option to save or told him when it last saved. After briefly talking about their purchase...

Giant Bombcast 11-30-2010

by Ross Adams in Games437 days ago

As you might expect from the Bombcast it’s game talk mixed with tales of Thanksgiving mixed with game talk on this weeks episode. Vinny kicks things off with Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood by explaining he might have been mistaken about his 23 hours played from last weeks show, due to a weird way the game tracks playtime. It certainly has him hooked, as he lists off several games he had planned to play but never got to thanks to Brotherhood. He also never got round to joining Brad who was busy finishing Borderlands. He now recognises...

Giant Bombcast 11-23-2010

by Ross Adams in Games444 days ago

This weeks Bombcast gets off to an explicit start, with the discussion of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood leading to Vinny dropping the “C word” for the second time in the shows history. Vinny has managed to play 23 hours of Brotherhood and hasn’t even hit content that Ryan got to after 5 hours. Needless to say he’s taking things slow, exploring the world and doing many side tasks. Jeff also played the game and in contrast to Vinny he played it for a day and finished it, he doesn’t talk too much about the singleplayer...

Brad was in Korea last week, to cover various Starcraft 2 tournaments and get a first hand look at the culture surrounding the series. As a result the first half hour or so of this weeks Bombcast is filled with Starcraft 2 talk, alot of which you probably won’t understand (who is Boxer exactly?). Once that’s dealt with though it’s down to some game talk. Vinny managed to finish two games over the weekend, namely Black Ops and The Force Unleashed 2. He starts off with his thoughts on TFU2, while he had fun with it he doesn’t...

The recent Kinect marathon has taken its toll on Ryan Davis so he is sitting out this weeks Bombcast. Jeff takes over hosting duties while Alex Navarro joins the rest of the regular crew to make up the numbers. Brad kicks the game talk off this week with Red Dead Redemption‘s recent zombie themed DLC; Undead Nightmare. Alex wonders if, having not played Red Dead proper, he’d be able to jump in and just play Undead Nightmare. Brad thinks so but isn’t too sure, alot of the game plays on characters and locations from the main game...

After something about sports it’s onto real talk, video games! Starting with Fable 3, which Vinny has been playing this week. The guys have alot of issues with Fable 3 but the fact it’s still a really good Fable game seems to supersede the problems. After a brief comment about Costume Quest Jeff let’s everyone know the achievement tracking aspect of GiantBomb.com is very close to being fixed. Vinny’s confession to using console commands to play Fallout: New Vegas apparently caused some outrage on various forums, Ryan, Brad...

Vinny shares his experience with a masseur at the top of the show before moving onto the slightly more on topic subject of Blizzcon. Brad watched the event and the guys discuss some of the announcements that came out of the show. Vinny has been playing Fallout: New Vegas in a somewhat unusual way, because of the buggy nature of the game he’s found he had to use no-clipping to bypass certain situations he has found himself stuck in. Vinny thinks DJ Hero 2 looks like an amazing game, when he watches Jeff play, but he’s not sure if he actually...
