Giant Bombcast

We re-open old Fable III wounds, get serious about Mortal Kombat fiction, spend an inordinate amount of time figuring out how to bring pizza to space, try and make sense of Jet's publishing/foreign language business, and more in this week's Bombcast!

Brad returns from Mexico with magical tales of free pool bars, Ryan dares Vinny to stop playing Dragon Age II, and Patrick helps us digest what has been an action-packed week in news in this week's edition of the Giant Bombcast!

Ryan Davis sits down with Valve's Erik Wolpaw, Jay Pinkerton, and Chet Faliszek to discuss the inner workings of Portal 2. WARNING! Do not listen if you haven't finished Portal 2 yet. You will ruin Portal 2 for yourself.

We get messy with Grandma's Cookies as the conversation leans towards less tawdry fare, like Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, Bethesda's open-world first-person shooter factory, vendor trash, Wii HD, and--surprise surprise--Mortal Kombat and Portal 2.

Jeff, Vinny, and Dave take to the microphones to discuss the stupidity of kayaking, Capcom's recent announcements, that Persona 4 anime, and more.

Brad returns from his self-imposed exile, and we dazzle him--Rip-Van-Winkle-style--with tales of Mega Man Universe, the cancellation of The Agency, the rise and fall and re-rise of Majesco, GameStop going digital, Stardock confusion, and much more!

It's your boy, the big dog pitbull, dropping' bombs on 'em with Zojirushi action journals, Dragon Age II economics, the 3DS launch, Pac-Man Battle Royale, Fight for Relief, Resident Evil, Duke Nukem delays, and more! Yo, rewind that!

The World Champions of Podcasting are back at it again! Get your fill of Dragon Age II, premium Japanese thermoses, Philip K. Dick's insatiable appetite for amphetamines, Crysis 2, our first week with the Nintendo 3DS, and much more!

The brave few that made it back from the Penny Arcade Expo with any serious longterm damage gather to discuss the games at the show along with our shiny new Nintendo 3DS, Prey 2, and the best way to smith up some rocks.

We've got BurgerTime pathos, Shanghai McGee, Suda51's boner, the far-flung future of the Gathering of Juggalos, Beyond Good & Evil HD, spoiler Pokemon, Tiny Iwata, and more! Oh, and Max Schaefer stops by to talk about all things Torchlight. Strap it on!

Jeff and Brad lure a fresh batch of guests into the Giant Bomb bar, including Jeremiah Slaczka, Ben Gilbert, John Vignocchi, John Bellomy, John Drake, and more! Listen in to this noisy podcast as we discuss Chicago, Japan, Tron threesomes, and GDC 2011.

Jeff and Brad are joined by guests for the first of our two podcasts from Game Developers Conference 2011. Hang out with us as we chat with Adam Sessler, John Pearl, Chris Remo, Patrick Klepek, and more!

Brad and Jeff went to the Microsoft showcase and have a lot to say about Batman: Arkham City, Gears of War 3, ketchup, and Vinny and Alex are here, too! WARNING: Nintendo downloads are also discussed.

Vinny punishes himself with 10 more inexplicable hours of Demon's Souls, Jeff tries to buy the publishing rights to RBI Baseball, Brad celebrates American royalty on Presidents Day, Ryan denounces saxophones, and everyone yells on this week's Bombcast!

Jeff and Ryan return from DICE with tales of chest models, Hollywood agents, outer space, and Facebook! We also discuss You Don't Know Jack, Stacking, Killzone 3, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Duke Nukem Forever, and more!

Our expert team of broadcasters bring you the Super Bowl wrap-up coverage you crave, hitting other hot topics like, Dead Space subtitles, Stanley Kubrick and Terry Gilliam vs. Buckaroo Bonzai, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, wizards, and more along the way!

Despite a compromised immune system, Ryan reclaims his rightful hosting duties, doing his best to keep it focused on Dead Space 2, Bionic Commando: Rearmed 2, the Sony NGP, and MMO pricing structures, and away from Jeff's insane Nintendo agenda. Ningenda?

With Ryan planted firmly on the bench, Jeff steps into the role of host and there's nothing you can do to stop him. Nothing! Also, the 3DS and PSP2 are totally discussed in exhaustive detail and/or speculation! Can you possibly afford to miss this?

Alex Navarro tags in on this week's conversations about DC Universe Online's shortcomings, whatever “Macho Man” Randy Savage is up to these days, the unexplored qualities of the Charlie Sheen movie The Chase, Final Fantasy XIII-2, and much more!

Jeff takes a break from his go-kart training to join our discussions of kill room aesthetics, earthquakes, Predator tech support, Mel Blanc oral reports, Borderlands sadism, ilomilo pronunciation, crank calls, crypto, and 3DS redesigns. Plus, a contest!

Ryan, Vinny, and Brad are joined by a very special flaxen-haired guest in this, our inaugural Bombcast of 2011! We return from our holiday break with heartwarming tales of family togetherness and... actually, it's mostly just games.

And lo, the sixth seal was broken, and it revealed our Best Game Room Release, Best Motion-Controlled Game, Worst Game of the Year, Most Disappointing Game, Best Multiplatform Game, and our 2010 Game of the Year!

Our descent into madness is almost complete as we enter day five of our deliberations, where we choose winners for The Northies - Best Performance by Nolan North, Best Competitive Multiplayer, Best Ending, the Take a Break Award, and Best PS3-Only Game.
