Giant Bombcast

We let Zartan burn as we discuss the right time to release DLC, getting/being old, Rockapella, this "Dota 2" game, and that evil Nintendo salesrabbit.

Bombcast! continues with some bootleg high-pitched music, video games to play when you barely feel like playing video games, and... Dota 2. Yeah, again.

Giant Bomb comes together to remember our dear friend and colleague, Ryan Davis.

Jeff, Brad, and Drew sit back and spin a yarn about surfing, the Saints, Don Mattrick, the infinite power of cloud magic, and... sure, numbers stations. Why not?

We talk The Biggest Little City, The Last of Us, the fate of Phantasy Star Online 2, virtual Slurpee machines, Ken Levine's Logan's Run, bricked PlayStation 3s, Microsoft's shocking Xbox One DRM policy revision, and more!

Before we ship Patrick off to the hot streets of Chicago, we get the gang back together to reflect on the events of E3 2013.

E3 2013: case closed.

We bring Cliff Bleszinski, Jonathan Blow, Vince Zampella and the Respawn team, John Drake and Eric Pope from Harmonix, and Double Fine's own Brad Muir in for questioning.

Special guests from Naughty Dog, Polygon, Gearbox, Game Informer, and more join us for our first nightly wrap-up from E3 2013. Includes bonus pre-show banter!

Recorded prior to Monday's dramatic press conferences, Jeff shares more of his Judges' Week experiences, while the whole staff makes predictions that are, in hindsight, hilarious.

We stress out about E3s past and future, free-to-play games, Kickstarter, and more! Mostly E3, though.

Vinny dives into the sordid world of voice-acting for toys and grapples with gophers, Jeff shares his first weekend with the Oculus Rift, and we all discuss FUSE, Valve economics, next-gen aftermarkets, The Swapper, the dark side of Star Trek, and more!

Hot on the heels of Microsoft's Xbox One reveal event, we talk at length about the forthcoming next-gen console battle. Also Star Trek. And spiders. Go Bears!

With Jeff out of the office on pre-E3 business, we spend an inordinate amount of time on Durango speculation while also finding the time to talk Metro: Last Light, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Prison Architect, and more!

Ryan mistakes Bob Hoskins for dead; Jeff loves Riff-Raff; Vinny loves sleep; Brad loves Dota 2; Patrick loves Ellen; the gang learns what the best console is; the Shmoo is real.

Patrick's back from Iceland with three solid hours of Bjork stories.

Brad discovers a use for interns in Dota 2; Patrick prepares for Reyjkavik; Ryan endorses the Neti pot; Jeff is assaulted by the Neti pot; Vinny hangs drywall.

Vinny finds new homes for old possessions; Jeff fantasizes about his own Coke Freestyle machine; Patrick considers a new hat; Ryan is sleepy; Brad is named Bombcast Ombudsman.

Vinny returns with harrowing tales of airplanes, babies, and bathtubs; Patrick combines his love of BioShock and Lost into a... Singularity; Jeff tries to make sense of Defiance; Brad falls down a Dota 2 hole; everyone mourns the passing of LucasArts.

After back-to-back PAX East and GDC, it's a decidedly low-key week on the Bombcast. We fight off the malaise with spoiler-free BioShock Infinite talk, Ouya impressions, Metal Gear Solid V thoughts, and more!

Ryan, Jeff, and Patrick return from PAX East 2013 exhausted, excited, and looking forward to the shenanigans promised by GDC 2013. Now! Who wants pie?

We talk about "smart" watches and the inevitable Cyborg Wars while occasionally slipping into a little Gears of War: Judgment, Monster Hunter (!?!?!), and mooooore.

We're downright feverish in our discussions of Mass Effect 3 DLC, God of War: Ascension, SimCity, Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm, Thief, and more!
