Giant Bombcast 440: The Live One

No @jeff you are bad people! Choosing Pepsi over Coke! Spewing nonsense about soda mixing !ALL YOUR CHOICES ARE WRONG

Finally, a video to show them talking.

@strafey: Corn is a vegetable, friend.

Look @danryckert and @jeff, I get what you're saying in the context of Nicolas Cage movies and his typical roles and such, but calling Nic Cage's role in Leaving Las Vegas "super crazy" is maybe super shitty considering said role is a semi-autobiographical role about dealing with manic-depression / bi-polar disorder.

You know, let alone the fact that the movie is based on a book, and the author of said book that Nic Cage is portraying actually commit suicide, shortly after finding out that his book was being turned into a movie - where apparently his book was intended to be his suicide note.

Live to tape!

I just got to 29:00 and I'm having issues with audio skipping around a ton. Anyone else getting that? My download is 4 hours 30 minutes long so I think its a bad download.


Never mind my download was bad, lol.

You know your first live podcast was the 2013 new year one right?

Saw a bald guy with a beard and thought Vinny was on the podcast. Got really confused when I tabbed away and Vinny never began to talk. Took me longer to realize my mistake than I'm happy to admit.

Now it's echoey. And dan sounds really weird.

@drewbert seems like there might be a little bit of audio sync issue after the first break

If you close your eyes it's like a normal podcast

Audio seems a bit low and the video is a bit out of sync for me anyways. Other than that, great show guys.

That low-key No Mans Sky diss...

Oh, yeah, congrats on the first official live broadcast of the podcast.

Now that the room needs to be "lit", its gonna be like 50 times hotter in there.

I listen to my bombcast in the car, or while getting things done, so this feature really isn't for me, but its cool for whoever wants it though.

and Dan needs to grow his hair back

I'm not one of those people that hates on Dan, I generally find him to be charming. However, lately I'm beginning to really tire of his ignorance. Do some research Dan, for fuck's sake! Learn, read, you're an adult, nobody should have to tell you all this shit.

Monoprice XLR cables are no good. Had a bunch fail on me during live events. Love the show, though!

Corn is also a grain and fruit, in addition to being a vegetable. It can also be a weapon and a lover.

The "assembly programming language" game they were trying to remember in the Quadrilateral Cowboy discussion segment was TIS-100.

Woah woah woah... it's numbered?!

@strafey: Vegetable does not actually mean anything other than that it is a plant so whether or not corn is a vegetable is up to the individual

@hamst3r: I've heard that corn just might be Frog Fractions 2.

I've probably heard 439 bombcasts in my time as a site user, that's insane.

Now I will watch 400 million more!

This is awesome! But did the audio go out of sync? Like about a half to a full second off???

Does the audio unsync after the first break for anyone else?

re sex games...

there was this game I played in high school or college (can't remember) where you were the man and you had to have sex with a woman before a timer ran out or you died. Presumably you were super horny.

BUT it was a whorehouse (I think) so you had to search for condoms before you had sex. Now you COULD have sex with the first girl you saw without the condom but you would run the risk of contracting an STD and dying (instantly).

So you had to play this constant balance between having enough condoms and not letting the timer run out before you had sex.

It wasn't an especially good game but as a horny older teen I found it somewhat irresistible despite the rather rudimentary graphics (we're talking Berzerk or maybe a little better (but not a lot)).

Sounds like some things never change when it comes to that stuff.

Yup!

I've always imagine they're in a dark room

I am kind of sad that they didn't start numbering these podcasts 20 weeks ago.

Stranger Things is amazing!

Excellent.

"how many people actually write code" Dan Ryckert, in the center of motherf'n San Francisco

audio quick looks comin soon

aaaah behind he wizard's curtain

@danryckert Cane sugar is one form of sugar, and almost every form of sugar is bad, with only one exception I can think of (it's in Soylent). Corn syrup is just another bad sugar.

Double Toasted may have beat you guys to the punch.

Please change the title format back to dates. It's better for sorting and searching.

Is that a pool table?

Awesome show, felt a lot more focused on the chat when I can see them. I can't see 1 bad thing coming from this... Don't understand the naysayers, if you don't like them just listen.

Dan just wanted some Raspberry Pie

I can see them talking!

Did they mention No Mans Sky? I missed part of it I think because I don't recall the discussion.

CHAT'S BROKEN

I'm sure it's been a shitload of work, but thanks for doing this, guys. It's awesome.

I don't know why, but it's awesome.

LOL Dan "How big could the audience be"

There are a LOT of programmers in the world never mind people who find programming interesting but never got to the point they learned how to do it.

The best Tetris is the one you code yourself. No matter how crappy someone else thinks it is.

In 1080 pee!

thanks for the info. realistically though it's not something most people would have handily available or recall by memory. i assume you're somewhat of a nutritionist yourself? or just read up a lot on the subject?

always surprises me the memories quite a few people have especially around here and the way they can recall detailed encyclopedic knowledge on whatever. something i'm a bit jealous of i suppose.

i would rather keep this comment section free of discussions of dan's lifestyle choices and pointing out his (supposed) ignorance though. it never seems to go well. :)
