2008-07-16 Giant Bombcast

Legend:

 * Voices - obvious enough, who's in the podcast
 * Reviewed - initially going to be reserved for the taste testing they did early on in the series, will see how things turn out later when they start phasing it out
 * Movies mentioned - despite being a videogame-centric podcast, these guys have some serious debates on movies and people/ideas pertaining to them
 * Games mentioned - games/game series mentioned on the 'cast. Listed if the game has some type of discussion or context behind it, not simply if name dropped
 * Names dropped - much like the games mentioned, people mentioned if it pertains to the 'cast
 * Out of context quotes - the tiny crazy bits we all love our boys saying. taken directly out of context makes it even more hilarious
 * Timestamps-the parts of the 'cast that are fairly easy to distinguish with Ryans segway ability. Oft times these will seamless lead into a bigger discussion on the topic
 * Definitive quotes - the bits where they're all business, and give their honest opinion/prediction on a topic. If you were to jump to a time in the 'cast, these would be it
 * General notes - ideas I've garnered from the crew during the 'cast.


 * ************* - multiple astricks denote a few minutes of the 'cast you'd do well listening to, if for nothing else than the hilarity/gravitas of it all
 * 1+     - denotes where they talk about a certain topic for more than a minute, instead of simply dropping the name in there for no discussion.
