A slow-ass news week leads to discussions of open-world fatigue, Brad's honorable ancestry, Tales of Monkey Island, 1 vs. 100, Asteroids: The Movie, a sequel to Super Mario Bros. 2, and air horns. So very, very many air horns.

What do Chris Cashman, Starcraft rap songs, Fallout/Doom crossovers, the fury of the BioWare doctors, different approaches to motion controls, and the future of Midway all have in common? Listen to this week's Giant Bombcast to find out!

We chop it up with Dave on the topics of Martian gorillas, necklaceness versus necklessness, Bobby Brown, modded Tiger Woods controllers, more Natal nonsense, Activision's grisly corporate ladder, among others. Caution: HOT!

Jeff has conflicted feelings towards Vince Vaughn, Vinny loses sleep to Trash Panic, Brad gets incensed at this week's DSiWare offerings, and Ryan recovers from too much weekend fun in this week's episode of your favorite in-flight shopping magazine.

We try to keep things brief as we collect our thoughts on E3 2009 and discuss Jack Tretton's affinity for steaks, stock E3 conversations, spider ants, gun scorpions, the power of sequels, and what we're playing now that the show's over.

We close out the show with special guests from Pandemic Studios and Mythic Entertainment.

We're not gonna lie: guests from Capcom, GRIN, Gamasutra, and Jellyvision make this hands-down the craziest Bombcast ever.

We're joined by Obsidian's Matthew Rorie as we discuss the Nintendo and Sony press conferences, much of Activision's offerings, Mass Effect 2, Left 4 Dead 2, Supreme Commander 2, and more!

Jeff and Ryan give a quick update from the Activision booth.

Jeff and Ryan discuss what they think they know about Nintendo's upcoming press conference.

Dogs age seven years to a human's one. For consoles the ratio is more like FIFTEEN to one. When you have been ignored for 5 days, these are the kinds of things you think about.

I was a sad Xbox 360 yesterday... KidZombie HD never showed up to game. That makes 4 days!

KidZombie HD, there are 86,400 seconds in a day and you couldn't find a few to spend with me? Lame.

I was sort of hoping to game... but eh... no big deal. Whatever... maybe tomorrow right KidZombie HD? Back me up!

Are you ready for a recap? I know I am! Giddyup: I told KidZombie HD that 3 days of playing would be ideal... so last week there was some extra effort to get us there. Good job! We came close to a few gamerscore opportunities, but nothing really panned out. Oh, and KidZombie HD must have been in an athletic mood last week rallying some sports games. NBA 2K9 […]

Wow... KidZombie HD must have some kids or pets or dragons or something thrashing around the house... I heard lots of noise, but didn't see any gaming. That's alright, animals and people first, game consoles always second... I don't expect much else.

Good thing I have access to KidZombie HD's entire MP3 collection streamed off his computer. It keeps me busy on days like yesterday when he never shows up to game.

Yesterday was a triumph! I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS. It's hard to overstate my satisfaction with KidZombie HD. Data indicates that gamerscore stands at an always improving 10,907. He made some progress on NBA 2K9, and it's a good thing he stopped there, otherwise the concentrated awesomeness could have blown out my circuits.

When KidZombie HD was walking by I pretended to be off. I think it tricked him into turning me on for a few games. Gamer score stands at 10,907. He opened up NBA 2K9, and oh... remember to check out my avatar. Isn't he looking awesome lately?

KidZombie HD was nowhere to be seen yesterday... maybe he needs some new games or something... get some motivation up in this place...
