RSSGame of the Year 2020: Day One
This time we're doing it live! Our annual GOTY feature kicks off as we hash out the awards for Best-Looking Game and Best... Dad.
669: I'm Always in Pose 6
With Game of the Year rapidly approaching, we're doing some last-minute cramming with Final Fantasy VII Remake, Yakuza, Ori and more, plus trying out the Monster Hunter Rise demo, spitballing ideas for Bethesda's newly announced Indiana Jones game, laughing at the time Microsoft tried to buy Nintendo, and searching for the elusive flavor known only as "lunch."
668: Professor Latency
New year, new Bombcast! We're back to talk Yakuza, Ghost of Tsushima Legends, Super Meat Boy Forever, the Fortnite shopping mall, the curious case of the Zelda Miis, running guns in Japan, and our annual attempt to answer the question: what is Star Citizen?
667: Sega to Make New Genesis!
Somehow we've made it to the end of 2020, and for our last episode of the year, we talk over our to-play lists for the holiday break, take a gander at the release list as it stands for 2021, fantasy book some chess sets, and take a whole bunch of your emails and v-mails!
666: Christmas Tree Shaped Eggs
We're here with the last LIVE episode of the Giant Bombcast in 2020! We're here to talk about Monster Sanctuary, World of Warcraft, the continuing situation around Cyberpunk 2077, and early-access pizza!
665: It'z Fun!
The Internet's Abby Russell joins us to talk about how much chess she's been playing lately, plus the Cyberpunk release kerfuffle, all the big announcements out of the Game Awards, the proper definition of rap movies, our love of video game typefaces, and a serious consideration of the merits of Jack Black.
664: Kevlar Booty Shorts
Vinny "Cyber" Caravella joins us for a mammoth Cyberpunk 2077 discussion, then we get into some Metal Gear dream casting, more Immortals Fenyx Rising, more WWE on mobile, Nintendo's eShop data collection, Kratos in Fortnite, Billy Mitchell's latest dastardly turn, and the new research into the defining issue of our times, inverted analog controls.
663: Cooksies to Keepsies
As we enter 2020's final month, we double down on the year's remaining games like Immortals Fenyx Rising, Demon's Souls, Miles Morales, and Yakuza, plus Thanksgiving steaks, the whereabouts of Sam Worthington, and the questionably imminent opening of Super Nintendo World.
662: Turn the Musou Crank
We're settling into the new post-console-launch normal with more time on the PS5 and XSX and their games, the closing chapters of Yakuza: Like a Dragon, the million-moblin action of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, Kingdom Hearts except a rhythm game, Street Fighters and Mortal Kombats old and new, Nintendo and the RIAA getting litigious again, plus the rarely seen but always refreshing three-mails.
661: Code Red Brisket
The consoles are out, the loading times are short, the games are plenty, and we dive right in with Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Demon's Souls, COD: Black Ops Cold War, more of our thoughts on using the PS5 and Series X and a variety of next-gen upgrades, a bunch of your new-console questions answered, and the questionable culinary uses of Mountain Dew.
660: They're Only Stems!
The next generation is (mostly) here, so we finally dig deep into what is and isn't ready to go on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, plus hands-on with Bugsnax and Fuser, thoughts on the future of Mass Effect, a bunch of your next-gen questions answered, and one wild email about cereal.

657: The Content
With new consoles drawing nigh, we spend way too much time talking about the Series X launch lineup and the PS5's new hint system, plus Mario Kart Live, Phasmophobia, the end of Hades, the (different kind of) end of StarCraft II, and the eventual fate of the arcade classic, Toobin'.

653: That's Hot Soup!
Between the Bethesda acquisition, PlayStation 5 pricing, and our budding Vtuber careers, there's a LOT to talk about this week, along with Mario 3D All-Stars, WWE Battlegrounds, the final version of Hades, quarantine bathing habits, and more breakfast cereals than anyone could eat.
652: Gods and Monster Energy
Spelunky 2! Spelunky 2. But also: Fuser, the Among Us craze, Wasteland 3, Matt Rorie, the latest Ubisoft Forward, next-gen console rumors and scuttlebutt, ketchup cakes, giant grapes, and an impromptu ranking of Zeldas.
651: Luda Shoota
The Xbox Series S leak and Mario 35th games are the big news this week, but we also find time for the release version of Avengers, Tony Hawk 1+2, Spellbreaker, the anime toggle, a world without shoes, and the Mountain Dew of oranges.
650: Strange Times!
This week we plow through a mountain of news about PS5 release dates, new GeForce cards, Avengers cosmetics and Mario remasters, chat about New World and Captain Tsubasa, get serious about AMVs, and wonder where all the orange meringue pies are.
649: Courtnite
Alex Navarro joins us from NYC to talk Madden 21, Outriders, Mortal Shell, Spiritfarer, Rogue Legacy 2, next year's new Switch, the DC FANDOME, the latest on Apple v. Epic, and rollicking debates on foods like mustard, soda, and, uh, Vicks VapoRub?
648: jeffminter.txt
