Giant Bomb Bomb-All

Just saw this Taco Bell ad featuring everyone's favorite GBer while looking at Metacritic

Yeah, there's like a billion articles about "the first Taco Bell wedding" out there at all the clickbait sites so it's kind of bizarre.

This makes me so happy. Kinda how I feel when I wake up in 2017 each morning.

Abby trying to construct Vinny in The Sims 4 during the Extra life stream today is pretty funny. It kinda went all over the place. Here was one stage:

Wonderful!!! This is why the beastcast is better.

Someone also illustrated Abby's rollercoaster of emotions over the cloacal kiss.

Apparently Giant Bomb videos no longer work on iOS. This is a pretty big problem for me as that's the only way I can watch the premium content.

I just loaded up the GB homepage on my iPhone 6 Plus via Chrome and was able to sign in and watch a premium video without any problems. I checked via Safari to see if it was a browser issue and that played fine too. I'm guessing you're just hitting a weird bug or something?

(Also, I see that they just posted a QL for Hidden Agenda, which seems like a perfect GB Quick Look game, so I'm going to start my lunch break and load this video up!)

There’s others on the big report forum and Rorie responded that it’s a known issue. I just tried and it works on my up-to-date iPhone 7. It’s just my old unupdated iPad 2’s Safari that struggles. Problem is I broke my iPhone screen and am waiting on my work to provide me with the warranty information to get it fixed.

Ah. Bummer. Have you tried the GB Video Buddy app as an alternate way to watch the videos? Maybe it'll just end up with the same error, but seems like it might be worth a try.

I didn’t even know that existed. I’ll see if I can give it a shot. At this point my iPad barely runs due to its age.

Just wanted to say that I gave this a try on on my backup iPhone and it works like a charm. Thanks!

Rocky IV sucks. It's insulting how lazy it is. There's so much desperate padding in the training montage, they need two power ballads played in their entirety to cover it, and a quarter of the screen time is taken up by giving Paulie a f*cking robot.

As someone who hasn't listened to the Giant Beastcast this week yet... that's a very strange thing to suddenly opine here.

Ahem. I believe you are talking about Rocky III, my dude. Rocky IV is the one with the Russian.

Rocky IV is the best.

It’s so bad.

And my favorite.

They montage the goddamn fight for Chrissakes.

Man, GOTY this year is going to be brutal

1) +2 more people. There has to be some kind of law that the more people you add to a meeting, exponentially it gets harder to come to a consensus on anything. I'd be nervous about having a group this large picking a lunch.

2) I'd have to think about it, but I'd have to put this year as one of the best years in gaming.... maybe post-2000? Definately of this XB1/PS4 gen, I'd have to look at the years. But you have an excellent Zelda, Mario, Horizon, PUBG....

I'm hoping for fisticuffs.

At least it's unlikely that Brad's going to lead a one man crusade in favor of Destiny 2?

I'm sure they're going to do something dumb like not give GOTY to Nier, and Alex and I will be sad.

Spoiler:

It will be Mario, Zelda, or PU:BG.

It's the same amount they had when Austin was there.

2015:
Jeff, Brad, Vinny, Alex, Drew, Dan, Jason, & Austin

2016:
Jeff, Brad, Vinny, Alex, Drew, Dan, & Jason

2017:
Jeff, Brad, Vinny, Alex, Dan, Jason, Ben, & Abby

This. I think it'll be Mario and Zelda as the top-2. Destiny will definitely be in the top-5. Cuphead will be high. Nier will make it but in the middle to lower half.

I don’t really care what their GotY ends up being. I just enjoy the journey to it and what a journey it is.

If they actually get PUBG to 1.0, it'll wind up being number 1, because there's no justice in this world.

I really wonder what the GOTY lists would be like if they had someone on staff who was strictly a single player person.

Since they'll deliberations this month, the biggest question is to consider PUBG at the risk of 1.0 getting pushed out of 2017.

I think they'll let it run. In which case the top 5 will be some combination of that, mario, zelda, and nier with MAYBE destiny squeaking in there.

I don't think Nier makes it in. Alex is going to push like hell for it, but Jeff didn't like the gameplay at all, so he's gonna go hard against, and Alex usually loses those kinds of fights. I don't think anyone else in that crew fought with depression like Alex does, so I don't think it's going to connect with them enough to get them to go to bat for it too, so it'll be another Thumper situation for him.
