    The Bayonetta anime ad struck me as super-weird this week
    Yeah, I don't think I'd be happy if I were any of their advertising sponsors. They tend to throw in a thinly veiled layer of condescension, or at the very least painfully palpable insincerity, to their ads.

    as someone who listens to a bunch of different podcasts and hears the same set of companies advertised on pretty much all of them, I've heard podcast ads go way more off the rails and nothing's ever come from it. It's pretty clear that there's a boilerplate ad sheet that goes out to everyone and honestly the more off the rails ones are way better at standing out.

    I am too old for character action stuff like Bayonetta I guess because I can't make sense of anything happening on that screen.

    I need measured pacing in my games.

    Dan's joy at beating the shit out of everything in the Bayonetta quick look is fucking delightful.

    We NEEEEEEEED a Vinny/Dan quick look. It would be like the Epic Yarn one but with more killing of innocent civilians.

    I am connected, but there is zero cooldown and Dan made a surprise visit so it might be in the process of melting down.

    One of my other favorite podcasts which is now Night Attack, used to be a different show and got in trouble for their ad going a bit too off the rails. So they did this.
    And it was great. Their sponsors mostly love them because their ads are so off the wall crazy people actually listen rather than skip ahead.

    I'm surprised so many people like Bayonetta. But I never played the first one, just thought it looked crazy odd but not in a good way? Apparently I was wrong?

    Guys I went down the Top level domain rabbit hole a bit, after the podcast



    vodka.beer is literally a white page with:


    "vodka and beer



    vodka and beer"


    in text, and nothing else.



    Boy the internet is pretty great.

    Oh no, I love all their actual ads, and this one was no exception

    I just think it was weird that there was an ad for a Bayonetta anime on the Bombcast

    Yeah, the longer they don't hear from Drew, the shorter of a buffer they will have if he's jetlagged or something and needs to recover, shouldering a heavier load on Brad.

    Don't worry, he's just recovering after spending three weeks fultoning guys into Scanlon Sans Frontiers.

    I just went for a jog, so I missed the pizzas. Did they forget half the order again this year?

    Also, Jason is confirmed for smooth. I mean, he's gotta be after all those cheesy stories Lisa told on the stream, cause he's still married.

    Not as bad as last year, no. They just didn't remember the World Series when they ordered, so it took 2 hours. Then the delivery person apparently arrived then gave up without knocking so brought it back to the place. The new pizzas then took 45 minutes more to cook and deliver.

    Hmm, coulda sworn Danny said he gave them Jason's phone number so they could call.

    Also the WS game was over a while ago. Are people just shame eating pizzas?

    It got to the point where it just happens to have Lisa's name in the game and she lost her shit for a minute there.

    I'm about 15 minutes behind, but man poor Lisa. P.T. is not her game.
