The Giant Beastcast - Episode 36

Lol at "What's the most racist movie you can think of?" and everyone jumps to Birth of a Nation, but the second most racist is Song of the South. Did the same thing in my head

And yeah, Vinny's gamestop rep bit was great
 
Wow those voices and bits with the voices are absolutely terrible.

The trademark break down by Austin was very good.
 
That System Wars mini conversation made me nostalgic and ashamed at the same time.

I was all over SW back during the good/bad ole days. I even followed it over to systemwars.com

cows - Sony
sheep - Nintendo
lemmings - Microsoft

I was there when it mattered.

Yeah Vinny is trying too hard.

And Austin was SO FLATTENED by their responces. lol

No they aint.
 
This week was amateur standups on speed, painful to listen to like Christina Guiterez. Although to be fair, I only made it 20 minutes in.
 
It's getting more difficult to listen to this podcast when these attempts at turning everything into a skit works 1/20 times.

this week was a tad rough, but it felt like a bit of an outlier to me. Didn't they mention that they already lost a podcast they recorded earlier or something? That might explain some of it.

Yeah from the previous day. Dunno if they recorded a whole one before realising it had problems.

I agree that Vinny was a bit much at the start but overall I still enjoyed it. I didn't find it near as bad as some people did.
 
Love the podcast, but man... this episode is a hard listen. I'm about 1:45 in, and still have forty minutes left, but I feel like I've stumbled into some amateur improv comedy skit show.

You guys don't need to make jokes about the title of every video game mentioned. Don't need the goofy voices, either. Not every word uttered needs to be repeated over and over again until an awkward punchy line is formed.

Were you all a little drunk when you recorded or something?
 
And it's not even his fault, really. He needs to be supported. Unfortunately...

  • Alex has the personality of a dead squirrel
  • Austin is poison
  • Bakalar is AWOL
Bombcast Vinnie will always be best Vinnie because he had Jeff and Ryan on either side.
 
Yeah, I gave the Beastcast a shot, but I just can't get into it. It's too bad; I always loved Vinny before, but the interplay between him, Alex and Austin isn't working for me.

Something here is poisonous, but it's not Austin.
 
Yeah I'm not really a fan of the skits/voice bits becoming more prevalent, although I can understand why it was mostly just tangents and random shit after losing a recording the day prior. Also Bakalar's absence made me almost not want to listen. Wish there was more of that dude in everything, unfortunately his own podcast is a bit unbearable to listen to.
 
It wasn't that bad, but I absolutely need podcasts to fill a commute so I'm probably more tolerant then some people. I kind of disagreed with the E3 talk. Games media people seem to question the role of E3 nonstop(maybe wishing they didn't have to cover it?), but EA pulling out of an official booth seems to be more a problem with the ESA being unable to stop people from free riding off of the benefits E3. EA is still going to put on a thing to get all the good stuff out of E3, they just don't have to pay the ESA anything
 
I like a good mess podcast that makes you question what the hell you're listening to atm.

Agreed. It sounded like they had to record this 2+ hour podcast for a second time which is a fine reason to have a few extra lunch beers that day. Sad we normally only get drunkcasts during E3.
 
I'm only like 40 minutes into it right now, but I'd swear I've heard Jeff Bakalar mumble or something a few times already. It's like, he says one word and then he's gone for another fifteen minutes.

I genuinely thought they'd all downed copious quantities of NyQuil before this one.
