Giant Bombcast 06/23/2015

We've dragged ourselves from the smoldering wreckage of E3 to wrap up some lingering topics from the show, including impressions of Horizon: Zero Dawn, Black Ops 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and MGS5, the incontinent effects of VR, that new Xbox One UI, finally playing No Man's Sky, and the mystery of Chicago game developers.

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

That Will Smith picture is never, ever going to get old. Every time I forget it exists it pops up again and I giggle like a little kid.

@vallnerik1:That pic has propelled Will in to stardom or at least in to articles about virtual reality porn.

Totally expecting them to reveal that Chicago game devs are a figment of our imagination.

@brad: Is the Premium Bomcast the same as the regular one?

I kind of hope this doesn't have a prolonged discussion about VR. It's been talked about to death during E3 and then again in the latest Beastcast. The problem is, as is always pointed out, that you really have to try it to understand it.

I mean I understand that it was a big push at E3 this year so obviously it deserves to be talked about, but you can only go so far with "it's hard to describe but it was awesome."

Early Bombcast is the best Bombcast.

Welcome to E3 Day 8! Canna wait to find out all the good meetings the Bombcrew went to.

EDIT - I didn't even mean to go all brogue on things for Danny. Happy coincidence!

@danryckert It was The KC Wiz, followed by the Wizards and is now Sporting KC. They were the MLS champs two years ago.

MLS can be fun if you just line it up as USA/Latino B league soccer. With regional rivalries. And TV coverage. I love it. Go Union!

@dannyodwyer The best/dumbest thing about Salt Lake's MLS team being called "Real Salt Lake" is that 'real' means 'royal' in Spanish. I'm sure they've come up with some kind of bullshit explanation for why it's appropriate for a team based in the middle of Utah...

Honestly, I care about it too but I'm not sure...

Oh wait I know. I really like the title font design of Ground Zeroes and the Gotham Medium font and the red V makes it all look really striking.

Damn! He must be doing it to spite us.

Speaking of Metal Gear, now that you're back from E3, is Metal Gear Scanlon 4 coming soon?

I still think there is some pretty significant meaning to the switch from regular numbers to the roman numeral V. Paz's stomach wound in Ground Zeroes and the ones we see in the new trailer are in the shape of a V. And there is also the fact that they keep ending every trailer with the phrase V HAS COME TO
