Giant Bombcast 07/07/2015

Bellies full with deep-fried candy bars, we're ready to dig deep into the Nintendo PlayStation, weird Minecraft news, the dubious allure of Fallout Shelter, multiple weird Japanese fighting games, Nintendo's tough investor talk, hot pepper facts, and much more!

The Giant Bombcast is the world's most beloved video game podcast, and now it's available in video form.

Is it just me or are the Bombcasts getting earlier and earlier? Not that I'm complaining.

The most mysterious of all deepfried foods is deepfried Pepsi. I have eaten it and I still don't know how it exists.

I'm a fan of some deep fried foods (onion rings, French fries, chicken, etc.) but some of these concoctions don't sound appealing at all.

I also feel a need to point out that Jeff has been talking about TrackMania on this podcast since at least 2009, maybe earlier. Almost as long as Brad talked about Dota 2 which probably started around 1975.

I feel like Batmans control scheme is sublime when it works but sometimes he does things you don't want him to do at all and it's infuriating. A large portion of that control scheme depends on the game correctly interpreting what you want to do and I've had plenty of moments where it didn't do a good job of that.

I had a couple of those riddler race trophies fail out due to having no idea how to guarantee that I'd stop in exactly that space right when I wanted to. It's the only time I've really ever had issue with any sort of unwanted momentum in character movement.

Special Brew was a gift to Winston Churchill*, after WW2, it used to be colloquial known as tramp's piss, because it was 9% for about 70p a tin.

By the time I was a kid cheap import vodka was everywhere, so we skipped Beers and moved straight to Spirits, which is why I no longer drink, because fuck Binge culture

I'm pretty sure Samurai Shodown V: Special is still very well liked and played competitively in Japan, probably more so than 2 was.

I actually got a boxed copy of Trackmania 1 way back in 2004 at a Walmart. Pretty weird to think about that now.

The guys seem to reference the date (07/07/2015) with wild abandon. Clearly they don't know it's the 10 year anniversary of the London bombings.

Huh? Is this some reference to the poignancy of how 9/11 is alluded to?

Played and finished Witcher 3 in the first week of release and sunk 100h. There are some rough edges, but the game was so compelling to me that I did not even care one iota about any of the jankiness. The movement felt a bit awkward in Witcher 2 as well. I played the original Borderlands on PC twice and at the time I didn't even care about all the jankiness. I must have a high tolerance for bulls**t when a game just draws me in.

I'm calling it. Witcher 3 won't be even in top 5 for them.
