Giant Bombcast 723: Fuzzy Crime

Yeesh...this new theme is not good, it's so abrasive. I'm not saying this as a "bring the old theme back" complaint, it just truly is not nice to listen to. Hopefully it's being iterated on.

I also liked the GOTY version of the theme better - seems like this version removed some interesting bits I was into

Did they find that pod intro in a burning dumpster? Cuz you know, sounds like hot garbage.

Maybe that's the point, I don't know how GB operates these days and I'm OLD NOW JESUS IM SO OLD

As someone who used to rip on IPAs and the apparent dick-measuring contest on how IPA-y they were… IPAs are fine. I feel like beer fartsniffery has moved on to sours now.

glad to hear Jeff mentioned Myth games

I had no idea of Tor's passing, RIP.

The new theme is not great. It sounds way too busy, like there are too many discordant sounds playing over one another. If you like it, cool. I'll be skipping over the intro until they replace it with something that doesnt make my ears bleed.

GOTY categories for 2022.

Jeff's multi level retail scam story reminds me of all the dumb shit we tried to come up with as teens. We all thought we were gonna get rich by exploiting retail policies.

I LOVED the GOTY version of the theme, not a huge fan of the changes in this one.

LoL I like how people in gaming sector are jumping on xbox/Phil cock likes it's a trampoline. Fact is xbox is still in 3rd place like they have been for the last 10 years. They have spent 80 billion dollars, so they would need more subscribers than netflix and Amazon put together to make profit, so no I don't think Sony has anything worry about

Not only was there a Chevy Tahoe in that Halo trailer, depending on if you think the comics are canon or not, there is mention of a Pontiac GTO owned by a character Ruwan Ackerson that he owns in the year 2552. "Ancient cars" might be Halo canon now lol

I appreciated the suggestions for the Xbox Smash Bros clone, but I honestly was hoping that Xbox would do something like that before the Bethesda and Activision acquisitions. Which may sound crazy because it's like, "Who would even be in it?" but I'd love for them to just grab every single Xbox exclusive ever and put them all together.

Obviously, you'd have Master Chief and Marcus Fenix, but you'd also have Blinx, the characters from Brute Force, that guy from Crimson Skies, Viva Pinata, Kameo, characters from Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, Alan Wake, Jack Joyce from Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive characters, DAVID YOUNG FROM D4... I feel like you could actually have a really eclectic, fun mix even without throwing in Bethesda and Activision.

And to throw my hat in the ring: I'm not a fan of the new theme song. I'm glad some people are enjoying it, though! I know it's work-in-progress and I'm hoping it'll grow on me.

@kinetic_md: Yup. And someone got paid to make it!

i like the new theme a lot but i can understand why it's not for everyone

The conversation about Jeffrey Dollars made me nostalgiac for the days of Canadian Tire Money.

When I bought my house my dad handed me several stacks of these monies like it was my inheritance.

I like how Jeff ventures out to the places where the superfans are to see what they are thinking.

New theme is hot. Put me in jail.
