Edit: But I'm not saying that's why it wasn't in the bombcast. They probably just forgot.

They mentioned it very briefly and laughed at it, and that was about it.

Really enjoying the Halo 4 spoiler talk.

Drobot's collect calls to Vinny and Ryan were the fucking best.

Did you (he/she) wrong somebody in the kitchen somehow?

I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy. No doubt in my mind that this is a blatant "fuck you".

MiniBossBattle · (01-23-2013, 05:27 PM)

I had this exact conversation with my wife and friends about yelp and breaking down information. # of reviews, negating reviews that are 1 star or 5 stars with only one review, useless information. The worst is your friends writing about how hot/not hot the waiters are or how mean the hostess is.

That said there is some weird fascination about reading people's diary entry about restaurants.

I saw Patrick tweet yesterday (or over the weekend some time) he was planning to record a solo VLR spoilercast. Dude, don't record solo. Spend 5 minutes on twitter and find one of your bay area buddies to skype with.

No one except Kat Bailey has ever pulled off a solopodcast in the games industry IMO and you Patrick are no active time babble

Looking at the actual page, those pictures are from two different persons, and they seem unrelated based on the descriptions.

I haven't listened to the last two bombcasts yet. Has Brad addressed the DmC review outrage yet? I wanted to hear what he had to say about it.

AuthenticM · (01-23-2013, 05:42 PM)

How spoiler-y are the Halo 4 spoilers ? When are they ?

Ending spoilers and they will give you a clear warning. Brad even does a countdown for it before they start.

Isn't A Life Well Wasted solo? Everyone raves about that show.

You should be safe at 1:50:00. They talk about alcohol or something there

There's a solo host to move things along but it's mostly interviews, so no.

True, but to be fair that is less a podcast and more an art form

Also A Life Well Wasted is great, but Patrick is no Robert Ashley either. My point stands, find someone else to podcast with for the spoilercast.

It burned twice as bright half as long :(

edit: Same with that Kotaku podcast where he told everyone complaining about avatars being dumb is probably spending mad money on the avatar items. Now microsoft is slowly killing off avatar presence again. Hey Lar-bear, I still hate avatars.

Oh no, alcohol turkey baster discussion. Again, Vinny the voice of reason.

Arlecchino · (01-23-2013, 10:06 PM)

The whole Yelp discussion was cathartic.

LiK · (01-23-2013, 10:08 PM)

was relistening and i missed the convo where we find out Max is half Jewish/Catholic. heh

Grisby · (01-23-2013, 10:09 PM)

Did not know the turkey baster deal was a thing.

Crazy.

Rickenslacker · (01-23-2013, 10:14 PM)

Jeff's shoutout to Crimsonland made me smile.

It needs to get greenlit yesterday.

On one of those "ripped from the headlines" crime shows like CSI or SVU there was a case where a woman took cocaine by rubbing it into her vagina until she overdosed. LOL

TheUnsunghero26 · (01-24-2013, 05:39 AM)

Just curious, what was Vinny's thoughts on the past Halos? I think I remember him saying that he really liked the book that came with the collectors edition of Reach. Seemed like he had trouble getting through 4. Brad seemed like he enjoyed it the most out of them.

Dragonzord · (01-24-2013, 05:52 AM)

How much do I have to pay Drobot to call me?

he enjoyed them, iirc. i do have to agree with him about what he didn't like about Halo 4 even tho i enjoyed it at the time.

Love the FF talk. It's been a long time since I heard anyone mention Ruby or Emerald weapon. Fuck those things.

Uh, you do realize that he already did that for 999, right?

KalBalboa · (01-24-2013, 04:50 PM)

Jeff's issues with Wake Up club are puzzling to me. Every morning my Vita alarm goes off, wakes me up, I look at my Vita and touch the screen. Done 'n' done.

I should preface this review by stating that I freaking *love* Mongolian BBQ. Growing up, trips to the Ghenghis Khan in Coddingtown were always a special occasion, and I was simply beside myself when I learned that Fuji--a sushi restaurant that, in my experience, had always been serviceable--was bringing the format to Petaluma.

For some people it's working like for you, for some people it's working like for Jeff, and for some people it's not starting up at all. I've seen people saying they re-downloaded it and it got better, but it's weird to begin with.

Weird. Maybe the OS update last night fixed it? It's an app that breaks some of the operating system boundaries, so maybe that's where Jeff's Vita is having issues.

I'm sure Gaming Steve would beg to differ as well

HamPster PamPster · (01-24-2013, 06:26 PM)

Fine fine everyone, I concede. There are some good solo podcasts. Regardless Patrick should skype with someone for a spoilercast

Active Time Babble is still the best though!
