Giant Bombcast 511: Baby in a Jar

Huh. This was quick...

@ottoman673: After all that GOTY stuff they don't want to be in that studio anymore.

More like Giant Beast fast.

Well, that was quick

Bombcast? BOMBCAST!

Brad is burned out from editing lol

1/1 vore babies give this podcast a thumbs up!

Speedy upload

WOO!

The fact they're all in a room still talking means GOTY didn't blow up that bad.

How can they have already decided on "Game of the Year" when they haven't even played Xenoblade 2?

"It may be December, but there's plenty of news in the wake of the Game Awards and PSX."

Fixed that for you.

Damn that was faaaaaast!

Boom.

@nmjohn: Or they're all clones.

Missed opportunity to call it "Jar Time w/ Baby"

@bboymaestro: Almost.

Yeah!

I LOVE DJMAX Respect. I imported the ENG-Hong Kong version, it's definitely one of the best rhythm games in recent memory.

Thumbs up

Missed opportunity for Baby in a Jar Jar

J...Jar?

What sort of trick is this :(

That was my 7-11 here in Edmonton :P i get confused every time i see it

Sendin' out an S O S

It's Tuesday!

I know it's a weird thing to complain about, but the far camera (that has all 3 of the guys in view) seems sorta faded or washed out compared to the rest. Not that I'm really complaining, just something I noticed is all

@ckrauser: i noticed it immediately as well, main camera is a little flat in the color department

update: the camera pointed at Jason is blurry as well, man what did they do during GOTY deliberations?!?!

What is the "Baby in a Jar" they are speaking of....? Do I even want to know?

Nothin' wrong with Noctis as a guest character.

Endless stomach

I think the "Uber Presents Geoff Keighley's Man Crush on Hideo Kojima Sponsored by Ebay at a McDonalds in China Show" had an 8 minute CGI anime with Norman Reedus as a baby in jar or something, I don't know.

@nachobandit: lol it's a JRPG, that's how. Xenoblade is way to deeply flawed, even if it is taking up many many hours.

@unastrike hey. the White balance or color temperature on the main camera that faces all three people is different than the other 2 shots. It looks a bit too blue.

baby in a jar? Explain?

I remember looking at a Modern Warfare 3 edition Wrangler that was parked in the middle of dealership showroom. It really isn't anything different from a normal Wrangler besides the badges which I think are just stickers. I've only ever seen one of those on the road once so I guess most people who bought one immediately ripped the badges off.

Medievil is friggin awesome!

Curse of Osiris is a shameful release. Bungie is proving with each release that they are more and more lost as to what they want to do with the game...or the worst thing could be they just cannot do anything people actually want. I expected diehard Destiny defenders to still be defending it but I'm even seeing YouTubers who made their money on Destiny starting to be done with "Bungie" and the game.

With EA being the worst offender this year I think Bungie might be second. The amount of times they've had to type out, and say, "We're listening..." is hilariously sad. Most of the significant changes to Destiny 2 didn't even come with this "new content" but will come at some point next year. Not only is the content nearly nonexistent but its too easy and its 75% in areas you've been in before. I can't believe that Destiny 1 and its first DLC is better than Destiny 2 to its new DLC.

They are even bringing back weapons from Destiny 1...which is obnoxious when they took all that stuff from you and said, "this all got destroyed! you get all new stuff!" So they are immediately going back to Destiny 1 guns because...reasons? I just don't get that studio. I really hope its some issue of Activision is strangling them because of their contractual obligations, I don't know.

From a story perspective its sad that this storyline, and character, have been teased and consistently mentioned since Destiny 1 and then its a no-consequence wet fart that has no bearing on anything. Would be like if Infinity War was 30 minutes long and Thanos was in it for 2 minutes and the rest of the movie was just scenes from the other movies spliced together.

"Just doesn't hang."

So, it begins.

Hey Grinch email duder: We're animals. FYI.

I found it weird how the GB crew (and lots of people on the GB community as well) keep referring to Death Stranding as something we know nothing about and that Kojima should start talking about gameplay when Kojima has actually been talking about gameplay for over an year on various interviews. I don't follow gaming news closely outside of Giant Bomb and even I know of that.

To sum it up: It's an action game set in an open world environment. When the main character dies, instead of a Game Over, the player is sent to another world (referred to as an upside-down world submerged in water). Kojima suggests that when the player returns to the world of the living, anything they did or any damage that an explosion or the likes causes when the player dies remains persistent in the world and does not go away. Another element talked about is the existence of "Timefall" a type of rain with the ability to age or deteriorate whatever it hits. Another gameplay element talked about is the ability to interact with the environment and wander outside of the character's body, as well as recovering items when they die.

The amount of passes that PUBG has received on everything will never cease to amaze me. I don't know that I will ever be able to take the "not enough content" argument seriously from East or West again.

Where's ben?

Yeah man that necroplasm-filled antihero wearing a symbiote for a costume looks way out of place next to that poor postured man clad in bondage and wielding katars.

There seems to be a suggestion here that they won't be doing video of the GOTY deliberations this year (Brad only said he is editing audio and with the length of the videos I'm not sure the site could even host without breaking them into parts.) I hope that isn't the case since I really enjoyed watching them last year. I'd even be willing to wait a couple extra weeks for video, if necessary.

Oh wow, one of the shortest bombcast in a long time.

@lonelyspacepanda: I hope they put up the GOTY video. I can't be the only one who uses the GB GOTY as therapy during the crazy holiday season.
