[GB/Waypoint] Search That Monkey

[Delthazar]

Soul Calibur's character creator continues to be a helluva thing.



...I really shouldn't be dropping 80 currency units on Soul Calibur 6 but I'll be damned if I'm not a little tempted if there's Gritty to be had.

Giant Bomb put together a 10-year retrospective of the Bombcast.

Not surprising that a lot of the clips people suggested were from the Ryan days. Man it was weird hearing his voice again introing the podcast. A little sad there wasn't any of the classic DSI-ware bits.

[Delthazar]

No DSIWare and no AUSTRALIAN BEEF is unfortunate. Still love all those stories about Jeff's party house though.

Alex is finally at a spot in Mass Effect where I WILL DESTROY YOU! starts happening with hilarious frequency.

oh and the new site beta is up

oh christ Abby's new cowboy character is killing me

[Falcon Critical]

Ooh what content is that in? I'm very partial to her terrible Australian accent.

[Delthazar]

Today's GBE Playdate for some old Nancy Drew game. It's really something.

I guess they figured out how to get old-ass Windows and DOS games working properly again 'cause there's been a lot of those lately. My head's still reeling from Total Distortion.

[Falcon Critical]

Haha yeah that one was certainly a thing. I didn't play a lot of games from that era but one of these days they'll cross paths with my experience and it's gonna be weird af

[Delthazar]

oh jeez they're getting back into terrible licensed "budget" games



"budget" in quotations because (in a Ryan Davis voice) forty dollars.

e: on the other end of the spectrum: how about that nearly six hours of Red Dead coverage that went up today, yikes

[Falcon Critical]

I started watching that Nikelodeon Cart Racer quick look and as not much of a cart racer it was actively hostile to my eyes, not even Dan and Vinny riffing on it could keep me for the duration of the QL.

[Delthazar]

Yeah, it's baffling to me that people are still making not-Mario, not-Sonic kart racing games, after everyone else seemed to realize it was a bad idea, like, in the PS2 era. And forty dollars is just... whaaaat.

Today's GBE Playdate is for Gitaroo Man so somewhere out there C6's ears are burning.

[Falcon Critical]

Wow the latest Tactical Tuesdays has the new XCOM updates, and the loadout screen playing 'Dogfight' from UFO Defense is hilarious and kind of too much. 19 min mark.

[Delthazar]

oh shit I missed a Tactical Tuesday Jumping on that now.

I loved some of the battle music from the new DLC that I YouTube'd before but yeah, I kinda figured that particular old remixed track would be extremely extra. It'll be interesting though to see how the new music in general changes the overall tone of the game.

Did you catch the Battletech portion of their recent charity stream because yikes

[Delthazar]

hahaha Austin and Rob's reaction to that music is perfect

"I thought Radical Heights got cancelled"

[Falcon Critical]

Haha yeah that duel was great, Rob's mind games swung it in his favour but it made for great TV.

Couldn't quite tell from that video, but if they do bring in dynamic music that'd be hella rad.

[Delthazar]

oh christ Abby's new cowboy character is killing me

[Delthazar]

alex



alex don't die

[Falcon Critical]

Madness!

[Delthazar]

Hell yeah time for SWERY.

[Falcon Critical]

Just in time for Halloween (for you in the past types), GBE playdate is the Silent Hill HD collection... and the crew have some great costumes.

[Delthazar]

That bit about the Comic Sans on the road signs in the HD version is just... yow.

[Falcon Critical]

Yeah that was a moment to be sure. Clearly the most unsettling font, maybe it was the intent.

[Delthazar]

Austin's on Giant Bomb's Extra Life stream right now.

[John Layfield]

I don't know how, but Giant Bomb Austin looks different somehow to Waypoint Austin.

[Delthazar]

The Evolution theme is perfect for Science Dan.
