Giant Bombcast 07/05/2016

That wasn't a joke; he's talking about wrestler Dino Bravo who got killed by part of the Canadian mob for illegal cigarette trafficking.

@petefic: Even if it isnt a good film, its a fun romp.

Just bought a California King mattress a month or two ago from the fine sponsors at Leesa, and Jeff has it backwards: a California King is four inches longer and four inches narrower (72" wide and 84" long). A regular King is the same length as a queen but much wider (76" wide and 80" long, to a queen's 60" wide).

anybody find an image of the gamespot award statue?

My eyes aren't glazing over, wanted and needed to hear about building new machines. real good to hear from Will.

@kingpk: Oh, I see. I couldn't derive that from context or anything so I'm glad you showed up to let me know. No one ever jokes about wrestling, least of all Dan Ryckert, so I must have been mistaken in assuming that the laughter that preceded and followed that statement was anything other than solemn and mournful.

You can do a fresh install of Windows 10 using their media creator and just putting the Windows 7 cd-key when it asks for a key. Make things way simpler.

Although I took a X79 rig over a Z77 for the extra cores and I certainly don't regret it. Most of the GPU test bench systems run the X99 to eliminate any effects of being CPU bound.

@hughesie27: his pronunciation of many words is wrong!

God damn, Giant Bomb should go to The Pizza Expo!

What a great idea!!!

I've heard "road-likes" be called "verby nouns" and I like that term a lot

a lot of the PC talk had misinformation.

Jeff talking about Jazz made me look him up because I too like the Transformers what the doors become wings...turns out his car mode appears to be a Porsche 935 in Martini & Rossi livery. Jeff has good taste.

Enjoyed the PC talk this week, although I've never heard the term "Hexacore" said so many times...does Will work for HP? :)

It was good timing because I had an old motherboard die on my last week, looking to replace it. Plus I had ordered a Skylake system the week before.

You can get PC talk a lot of places, but it's fun to hear these guys takes on it.

Anyone got a timestamp of the Uncharted 4 talk?

Living in Arizona for 20 years I am now a top sheet only man. I have a comforter that I keep in a box because if it ever gets too cold I usually just turn off my ceiling fan.

I still have my Logitech iFeel mouse in a box somewhere, every year I randomly try and fail to search for those rumble drivers.

As a Mizzou graduate and a current resident of Kansas City, I can confirm Dan's description of the MU/KU rivalry (which has it's roots in the civil war) is completely accurate and the most ignorant thing ever.

Hello, Im from CBS... Jeff Gerstmann Everybody!

@singing_pigs: I think 21 is when they start. They finish around 31:00 (premium but I trim the intro song).

If you fast fwd, you'll miss the name of the next game because they only say it once: Assemblance. It's the VR game Dan thought might be Frog Fractions 2 and Jeff wants faster movement speed.

Umbrella Corps is after that.

Teleportation over shapeshifting, no contest. Teleportation has a useful, everyday application whereas shapeshifting would mainly be for people like Dan who just want to fuck with other people.

I still maintain that the ultimate power for a mostly-normal-but-enhanced life would be Hiro Nakamura's powers from Heroes. I can't remember if they ever gave it a formal name in the show, but it's pretty much temporal powers/power over time and space. He can freeze time (although it's later revealed to just slow down time to an incredible degree but who cares same thing) and also teleport anywhere he wants to. Those would be, in my opinion, the two best powers in an real life setting to have. I've thought about this too much.

im really curious about all of jeff's audio producing. is he still making music? podcast or jar time-ish stuff?

@df-1: care to elaborate a bit?

Man... as someone who built a PC a couple months ago and enjoys that stuff... the PC segment was torturous. One of the few times I completely spaced out while listening to the cast. Rest of the ep was good tho.

I hate when people say a movie isn't good but they love it. Fuck that, embrace what you like. Independence Day is a goddamn sci-fi action movie classic. A fantastic movie.

I can confirm you can do a clean install of windows 10 with win 7 key, download iso from here:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/software-download/windows10

@preacha: Yeah... I did a clean install of Windows 10 from USB last week with my 7 key. I still prefer 7 over 10 for everyday use but installing 10 was a breeze.
