~Here Is Proof That Giant Bomb (dot com [the website]) Owns "A Lot" (approx. 1024 "a bits")!!!!!!!!!!~

so over a month ago in a bombcast thread i made a post about a thing: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=19169092&postcount=13

well today ANOTHER THING HAPPENED


first i got a box

POPCORN! Thank you Giant Bomb, for I shall feast on this tonig- oh wait there's something under it.

after about 3000 pounds of packing popcorn fall all over my floor and i pick them up

BUBBLE WR- wait still something else. My low expectations have been blown away. I hear something go clunky clunk.

Oh, there's stuff already inside the box. Well that's okay too.


After opening and closing the box a few times before the little speaker did the Zelda item sound (kinda disappointing it didn't do it the first time, but oh well), I cataloged my sweet sweet swag.

A hamburger is meat between two slices of bread. How is that not a sandwich?

"Hey guys, I'm going to grab a sandwich."
"Sounds good, get me a burger!"
"What?"

You don't go to a sandwich shop to get a burger, and you don't go to a burger place to get a sandwich. Technically it's probably a sandwich but practically I don't think it is.

Also, I'm about to order from Chili's and they have "sandwiches" and "big mouth burger" sections. Chili's trump card has been played, sir!

Why would they need 2 people to travel that far to see a freaking Sony Liverpool game?

Well with one of those guys being Vinny presumably they will be shooting some kind of video, probably an interview.

I agree that's why Vinny is going, but they wouldn't do that for a Sony Liverpool game.

A burger is a sandwich dude. Wall Street Journal says so. The burger is a type of sandwich.

maybe they are just going to liverpool because they like the beatles? its Ryan and Vinny isnt it? i think at least 50% of those two like the beatles a lot.

then again even if they want to do a little video interview they need someone to hold the camera and i guess the tripod wanted too much money so they are sending Vinny instead.

and a sandwich is just some food inbetween two pieces of bread
http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/sandwich?view=uk

its hot food and its not sliced bread but its still a food type within the sandwich family, just as a sub is, but the word sandwich itself is also often used to refer to cold food between two slices of flat bread, hence the confusion.

But historically they haven't allocated their resources to cover big announcements. They don't have 1up's, Gamespot's, or IGN's personnel or budget.

Maybe their costs are being covered like they were for a lot of gaming press to go to Bethesda's event in Britain last year.

Or they have a bigger travel budget this year and are deciding to use some of it already.

You can go to a burger joint to get a chicken sandwich, people don't really call a chicken sandwich a chicken burger.

You can't get Peanut Butter & Jelly at a sandwich shop either.

Burger is short for Hamburger Sandwich.

If that's so, then I demand a PAX East showing, so that I can get my fill of Rich Gallup on the Bombcast.

FIVE GRAND!

You can get peanut butter & jelly at plenty of sandwich shops. Infact, there's entire sandwich shops dedicated to pb&j. I do admit, I am technically wrong but the practicality of argument stands. They're separate on menus, separate in distribution, and will continue to be separate entities in my mind. =(

Pretty sure they are going. At least, I hope they are so I can stalk them under the pretenses of it being "for my show." Same with Ken Levine, actually.

And now I really wanna play my copy of Most Wanted.

After watching the Heavy Rain quicklook, I'm convinced that it would make a great candidate for a new endurance run.

I'm pretty sure Quantic Dream wouldn't be as lenient as Atlas was in streaming their game. It would be awesome though.

So? Heavy Rain is essentially an all interaction/story game. What were the best parts of the Persona 4 episodes? It wasn't the ones where they grinded dungeons for hours.

obviously, that's why I implied that Quantic Dream would never allow it. it's nice to dream though.

the whole point of the endurance run was to see if they could make it through the game.. I doubt that would be an issue with heavy rain.

I think for endurance run they should really look at games that today's gamers likely haven't played so very recent or best selling titles should be out of the question. Something like a Sierra adventure game or one of Kojima's lesser known games (Snatcher, Policenauts) would be great for the next endurance run... or Star Control 2 :D

I wonder if they are even thinking of doing another endurance run, i wish they would just come out say that they are never doing another ER so that i won't get my hopes up.
