Giant Bombcast

Day two sees Harmonix's own Alex Navarro, John Drake, and Sean Baptiste, Tigon Studios' Ian Stevens, and Pandemic's Drew Marlowe join the fray.

We discuss some of the highlights from our first day at GDC 09 with an all-star panel of game developers, including EALA's Amer Ajami and Greg Kasavin, Mythic Entertainment's Paul Barnett, 2K Boston's Joe Fielder, and Turn 10 Studios' Che Chou.

It's a death march of weird accents and terrifying candy as we're joined by Ulf Andersson and Gunnar Johansson from GRIN. We also discuss OnLive, Max Payne 3, BioShock 2 subtitle shenanigans, and much more in this epic edition of the Giant Bombcast.

The Bombcast gets frappadocious this week with discussions of MadWorld's racial insensitivity, the douche-reduced Army of Two sequel, Criterion's April Fools prank, plus an inordinate amount of GI Joe talk. Once a man!

With Ryan back in the saddle, the Giant Bombcast returns from the brink with delicious Mexican vanilla soda, the quieter side of Sgt. Slaughter, extensive and unnecessary Ghostbusters references, the winners of our Noby Noby Boy contest, and much more!

You're right, no human being would stack books like this. And the flowers are still standing! What about the Twinkie? Yes, have some. Dogs and cats, living together... mass hysteria! What did you do, Ray? I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it!

With Ryan out on vacation, we have no idea what we're doing this week. Seriously, I don't even know if what I'm writing here will show up anywhere. But in case it does, we're talking about space bugs, Halo Wars, Chun-Li: The Movie, Saskatoon, and more!

Brad, Jeff, and Ryan sit down with Noah Ward, lead game designer for EVE Online, to discuss the upcoming expansion and just what makes this no-holds-barred space MMO tick.

This week's Bombcast is citrus fresh with the unbridled insanity of Noby Noby Boy, 50 Cent's gangsterous return to video games, the relationship between Ubisoft, Canada, and cheese, NSFW Flash games, an exciting new Giant Bomb contest, and more!

We celebrate a year of podcasts by drinking bubble gum and discussing Street Fighter IV, Halo Wars, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon, Vinny's strong distaste for Flower, the comedy goldmine of the full frontal in The Lost and Damned, and more!

We get circuit-bent on Jolly Rancher soda and discuss the need for an achievements czar, the identity of Rico Suave, played-out headlines, bikini protocols on Coney Island, Vinny's imaginary Left 4 Dead mode, second-person shooters, and more!

The Bombcast avoids Olympic controversy with discussions of Killzone 2, Prince of Persia DLC, E3 2009, Need for Speed, Madden NFL 10, the next Jason Bourne game, Xbox 360 avatar perks, the Atari Jaguar, Resident Evil 5, and much more!

Enjoy the muffled sounds of madness as we discuss the emerging EAverse, Operation: Anchorage, inappropriate applications of fried chicken, appropriate applications of evil cat people, the Bernie Madoff of EVE Online, Street Fiver, and more!

We celebrate Inauguration Day with a UK drink taste-test, copious discussions of Street Fighter IV, Skate 2, Knothole Island, our collective frustration over the PS3, the cinematic influences of Metal Gear Solid 4, and more. Have fun at dinner!

We're joined by former EGM editor Giancarlo Varanini for discussions of the Windows 7 beta, the future of Tony Hawk, the escalating madness surrounding Bob's Game, Serena Altschul on PCP, McRib virginity, and more!

The Giant Bombcast returns for the 200Crime with mustaches, AustraliaBux, Dave Snider's fun facts about Washington, D.C., a talkbox, the awesome Crank 2: High Voltage trailer, Lego Rock Band, the Killzone 2 demo, and much more!

We let you inside our GOTY deliberation process as we debate the relative merits of Burnout Paradise, Grand Theft Auto IV, Metal Gear Solid 4, Gears of War 2, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts, Dead Space, Braid, Left 4 Dead, Fallout 3, and Fable II.

Our last proper podcast of 2008 includes our pleas to euthanize Sonic the Hedgehog, hot sandos, cyborg zombies, the last Christmas song, predictions for 2009, and more. Be sure to come back next week for our special Game of the Year podcast!

We share our thoughts on the Spike TV Video Game Awards, drink Dissidia potions, make fun of PlayStation Home, try to make sense of Noby Noby Boy, speculate on Niko Bellic's fate in The Lost and the Damned, and more!

Following some heinous technical difficulties, it's take two of this week's Giant Bombcast! With Jeff as our one-man house band, we discuss Prince of Persia, Square Enix and Eidos, turning a DSi into a talkbox, Crackdown 2, Michael Phelps, and more!

We recover from our tryptophan poisoning with discussions of the screechy announcer from You're In the Movies, Assassin's Creed 2, the future of Midway, Nathan Drake's chain wallet, the winner of our Gears of War 2 Zune contest, Anime Vice, and more!

Jeff sits down with Dave and Harmonix's Alex Navarro to discuss the rules of "F-U" Uno, the 2008 Video Game Report Card, Fallout 3 DLC, Dave's Zombies Ate My Neighbors nightmare, and... oh, right. Rock Band 2.

It's the video-game podcast that eats like a meal, where we discuss Left 4 Dead, Halo Wars, our Gears of War 2 Zune giveaway, the romantic relationship between dinosaurs and automobiles, Brad's dad, and more. And we do it all with robot voices!

This week's topics include Resistance 2, Mirror's Edge, other people's property in LittleBigPlanet, Fallout 3's cultural sensitivity, the used-game scourge, Infinity Ward's bolt-action beef, and more!
