Giant Bombcast

Dan and Jan are back from the Big Apple to chat with the rest of the gang about their time at the Nintendo Switch 2 event!

We've gathered our own group of fools to chat about a grip of old games like Bomberman Hero, Crazy Taxi 3, Grim Fandango, and a good ol' twist on Mario 64 with the romhack BAZR! We also chat about Nubby's Number Factory, High Seas High Profits, and Disney Villains Cursed Cafe, the upcoming Switch 2 Direct, and other stories popping off!

We've got a full house on the podcast today as we chat about some fond memories of the Nintendo 64, finishing up Avowed, and maybe bouncing off of Assassin's Creed Shadows. We also spend the rest of the podcast fondly remembering our time with the Nintendo Switch before we see the Nintendo Switch 2!

This week we chat more about Assassin's Creed Shadows, getting down and dirty in Wreckfest 2, Disney Extreme Skate Adventure, trying to find cool mechs in Xenoblade Chronicles X, getting onto the speedrun charts of ET, and seeing if Mother 3 still holds up in 2025! We also chat about the possibility of two Nintendo Direct in the next week, a spinoff God of War game, Geoff Keighley starting a new publication, and many more stories and emails!

We've got Mike Drucker on BCR today to chat all about his new book "Good Game, No Rematch" and to also determine the Mt. Rushmore of First Levels.

This episode, we chat about the week's biggest release: Assassin's Creed Shadows! We also chat about Nubby's Number Factory, R.E.P.O., Star of Providence, and Little Nemo the Dream Master. We also chat about the biggest news stories of the week and get to your emails! Wu-Tang is Forever!

Jan and the GBKidz are in the house to chat about card games, whether or not UNO rules are terrible, and we crown the Mt. Rushmore (or... Hokage Rock?) of co-Op Games!

We've got some news to share this week! This Thursday we're unveiling the Power Block, a block of streams throughout the week along with a new name for Game Mess Mornings: Game Breaking News! Hope to see y'all there! But this week we got Jeff Bakalar joining the podcast to talk about playing Split Fiction with Dib, continuing hunts in Monster Hunter Wilds, Mike finding out about Mario Picross, and more games!

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 is real and so are other video games! We talk about Split Fiction, Everhood 2, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and even more games! We also catch up on the news like Acclaim coming back with the help of our friend Jeff Jarrett, Activision misusing AI, the cancelled PS5 Twisted Metal game, and other stories for your Tuesday enjoyment.

We end the week talking about The Thing Remastered and where games could have deviated, the insanity that is the whole YuGiOh franchise, some more thoughts on Monster Hunter Wilds, and Men's YuGiOh as well!

This week we're hunting monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, checking out a whole bunch of demos from the Steam Next Fest, Driving is Hard, and going back to skating in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2. We also chat about the very real rumblings now of a Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3+4 game coming out, news revolving around WB Games selling off or shutting down some studios, Assassin's Creed Shadows leaks, and more!

This week we continue to gush about Avowed, chat a bit more about Split Fiction, Mike describes his time with Elden Ring Nightreign and going back to Maniac Mansion, and Grubb takes us to the Aloha state with Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.

The whole gang is here ready to chat about Civilization 7, Grubb hitting up Grim Fandango for the first time, Jan navigating space in Citizen Sleeper 2, Lonely Mountains: Snow Riders, and a bit of Eternal Strands as well. We also cover a grip of Nintendo Switch 2 news, shakeups at PlayStation leadership, how tariffs could affect the games industry, and a bunch more stories and emails.

Finally 2024's Game of the Year season hass ended! Today part of the crew gets together to listen to some tunes and crown Best Video Game Music of 2024!

Jan's out on assignment, so Grubb is joined by co-captain Shawn, slamma jamma Mike, and an injured Dan to talk about retro gaming, Indiana Jones, Ninja Gaiden, and more! After that, news of the week and your emails! (What IS Coworker...?)

We got the whole gang together to draft our own lists for Fantasy Critic 2025!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is real and so is this podcast! We chat about Pokemon Cards, going back to Star Wars Outlaws, Blade Chimera, the greatness of Bowser's Fury and tripping out in Soundself. We also chat about all the details we know of the Switch 2, Sony cancelling games, Marvel Snap getting taken down, and even more!

While new releases are a bit slow we chat about Red Dead Redemption 2, Airborne Empire, Parking Garage Rally Circuit, and the fan-made Sonic Galactic. We also cover all of the newest Switch 2 rumblings abound as well as some trademarks and patents in the works. The question is also raised of whether more people know about Metal Gear or Persona!
