Giant Bombcast 01/05/2016

We're *yawn* back from break and, uh, feelin' refreshed in 2016! Time to remember how to talk as we chew the fat about Oculus Rift preorders, esports sales, Mario Maker websites, Steam breaches, Hall & Oates, and a year without Assassin's Creed.

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

2 hours and 30 minutes?! Hot damn! I thought usually the first bombcast of a new year is generally shorter.

Glad I am wrong.

Only 2 1/2 hours? The podcast juices must still be recovering after all that GOTY talk

My god, Dan. What a life you lead!

This isn't inherently negative, I'm legitimately astounded.

The first Bombcast of the new year falls on my birthday, yay. That I'm more excited to listen to this than to enjoy my birthday isn't at all depressing.

The guy Dan summoned killed two archers on a tower for him that Dan didn't notice, he then waited for Dan to kite the boss over to him to do a drop attack, but Dan didn't know about that at all, so the guy didn't seem to do much from Dans perspective.

JESUS DAN, please don't stab inexplicable lumps in your face with needles. You should go see a Doctor instead.

I wish I could sit down and explain some of Elite: Dangerous to the guys. The game is really aimless unless you keep up with the community stuff or know where to go for entertainment.

So, I know which script Jeff is using I think for MGSV. There is a script that simulates stealth camo, but it seems that Jeff was using the one that simulates the chicken hat.

I'd love to see a video feature of Jeff and those interested trying to figure out what the hell in Elite Dangerous. I think that has potential to be really fun and funny.

Jeff, you've NEVER been into "that stuff?"

Even in the Ghostbusters?

I like how Dan is too cheap to pay the co-pay for a competent, sterile lancing, but he was totally about to drop stupid money for a curved television.

That dude is cool, but dang.

@atomic_olive: a series I've always wanted on Giant Bomb: community/known people unpack the more-complicated games they don't get to cover deeply. Other games: EVE, ARMA, Star Citizen etc.

A show-and-tell from the community for really deep games.

The last time I listened to a Bombcast sandwich suggestion I ended up having onions on my peanut-butter thanks to Ryan. I'm pretty sure I fell for one of his infamous tricks. That was beyond horrible, so there's no way I'm trying Dans thing before one of you real human beings do it first.
