Giant Bombcast

Ranger Rick's Tumblr, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, close encounters with Dan Aykroyd, Soul Calibur V, Final Fantasy XIII-2, Resident Evil: Revelations, Jeff's space-garbage-and-murder-slingshot election ticket...yeah. It's a weird week.

What do chewy tannins, Chicago sports, warm fronts, makin' cables, Steven Tyler, the Crypt Keeper, SSX, and Resident Evil 6 all have in common? You'll have to listen to this week's episode of the Giant Bombcast to find out!

Go green with this week's Giant Bombcast as we welcome Jeff and Patrick back to the show and discuss Star Wars: The Old Republic, Guild Wars, Skyrim, and the great Petaluma pizza drought. There won't be a heart left beating!

We ease back into things for the Deuce Dizzy with talk of earthquake preparedness, Game of the Year behind the scenes, townhouse barbecuing, cutting the cable, and, you know, maybe some games!

We finish out our regular categories before facing off in a tense game of Russian roulette as we whittle down Giant Bomb's top 10 games of 2011.

Things turn straight-up Real World ugly as discuss our choices for Best Download-Only Game, Best Co-Op, Best Story, Most Disappointing, and Best Remake/HD Update. WHO WILL GET VOTED OUT OF THE HOUSE???

We kick off our annual verbal knife fight with 2011's 2010 Game of the Year, Best Mission/Level, Best New Character, Dave's Eastern Bloc Game of the Year, and Best Music.

Just in time for the holidays, we discuss Skyrim on the PlayStation 3, Trine 2, the Japanese Vita launch, the future of full-motion video, and our first days with Star Wars: The Old Republic. Plus, emails galore!

We work out the kinks in Vinny's diabolical plan to clone the Beatles, talk Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning with Brad, reminisce about rap tapes, and generally spend way, way too much time discussing the Spike TV VGAs on this week's Bombcast!

Vinny makes his triumphant return with tales from the suburbs, Patrick cruises Internet chat rooms, Brad catches Black Friday Fever, Ryan hates giant laptops, Jeff craves Texas toast, and everyone plays Saints Row: The Third.

Alex Navarro joins us for post-Thanksgiving discussions of Rodian roadies, finding asylum in Raider Nation, hair security, shark punching, the great Zelda switcheroo, Mario Kart 7, tugging' vs. dumpin', Spec Ops: The Line, and more!

Get all cozy with a nice, piping-hot 40, and join us for some heated conversation about our experiences with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Saints Row: The Third, RAGE, Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, and much more!

We nurse our fun-size Halloween hangovers with the Bat-man, Rocksmith, Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3, horror movies, and, of course, an inappropriate amount of candy.

We make breakthroughs on Brad's crippling Altoids addiction and Jeff's crippling Skylanders addiction, while also covering Batman's ethics, Rocksmith, learning to type the old-fashioned way, Battlefield 3, Uncharted 3, BlizzCon, and more! Je m'appelle TrackMania!

Ol’ Vinny “Two Pens” Caravella gives us the whole Dark Souls rigmarole, Jeff returns from Vegas with the latest on Syndicate, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, SSX, and Need for Speed: The Run, and we misinterpret Occam’s Razor in the grossest way possible.
