The Bullshot! Podcast

SURPRISE, IT'S A BULLSHOT! This is how things are going to be for a little bit until things settle down. This is a packed episode, from Hockey talk to water bottle safety, we chat about a great many things. Oh, and wall penises.

The schedule for episodes is going to be a little wacky while the job situation settles. But we are WACKY. This week we don't talk about the Mario trailer because it's fine, it's gonne be good, we can all get our tender bits in a knot over Chris Pratt, but is that really how you want to spend your Saturday afternoon? Oh it is? Oh my bad.

Short show this week and I wish I could tell you that we will be back next week, but next week is what the Romans called "Gigafucked". I don't know what that means, but it's bad. We can talk more about it in two weeks. See you then!

This is a really great episode. It has almost nothing to do with video games, but it's great.

And so it is that time of year again. Every time an iPhone is activated, Tim Cook gets his wings. "Wings", in this sense, is shorthand for "bags of money" or "the bag". We also talk about the pantheon of Assassin's Creed games that Ubisoft is still announcing, what Switch gardening game the boys are excited to play, and if they even bothered to watch Sony's State of play. Just as a reminder, Plach...

Did you know Labor Day is like Black Friday for ERs? Is that true? I have no idea but it's a funny idea. You know what else is a funny idea? Car crashes! Thanks for the cheer-up, Tim Apple. Also, things are really heating up in the Call of Duty Wars.

Hey, it's a late show because we wanted to have the most UP TO DATE rumors about the Apple Event so we could spend upwards of THREE MINUTES talking about it. Also, if we had recorded earlier in the week, we would have missed out on the activision news, and wouldn't have gotten caught up in the twitter zeitgeist. Luckily, we are forward thinkers and we have thought forwardly.

Finally, the sequel to the greatest story ever told. Thought to be consumed in the fires of mount doom, Gollum suffered an even worse fate: he survived the lava only to be fused with The One Ring. His power seemingly infinite, the Fellowship must now reform, and with the help of an unlikely ally (Sauron), take down Shin Gollum and save middle earth from nuclear holocaust.

Just two dudes talkin' about the the weather and BULLSHIT

Going to concerts can be rough, even when you're still on the good side of 40 (and have a gaping neck wound). But not as rough as trying to survive in a simulated galaxy. Neither of those are as rough as fighting an alien from SPACE. All that to say, you deserve a drink.

Don't you worry (don't you worry) child, Bullshot has got a plan for you.

Jeff does 3 hours, we do an hour and a half. Jeff talks about Stray for 20 minutes, we talk about it for 5. E V E R Y T H I N G I S A M I R R O R. Oh also we start the show like 45 minutes in, and that time is split between how depressing the world is, and the SDCC. Those two things probably aren't related.

Do you like body horror? Imagine a string of medicated gauss, coiled in a...you know what, you can listen to the episode and find out. We also talk about Final Fantasy and Gabe living in a yurt. It's a good time.

Oh ho ho, what is this? TWO episodes in a row? Could it be? IT IS. Your favorite 40-year-olds are back talking about games, movies and seizing the means of production (for dummies).

It's like gaming with a walking, talking wikipedia. (We're back).

Maybe the joke will land better in the recording? I dunno. Millionaire C-Suite Execs beefing is a genre of humor that I can completely get behind. Anyway, Plachy promised you a short show, and I ruined that for him. We talk about games, technology, sourdough starter - it's a good show. Happy New Year!

228 - BRING OUT YOUR GOTYS by The Bullshot! Podcast

Finally, a Bullshot for exactly what you come here for: a tight 30 minutes of video games and covid. You want to know about Halo Infinite? We got that. You want to know about Omicron? We got that too. It's the most ambitious crossover since we bred bulls and dogs.

It's Halo Time, friends! That means not only have Jim and Fish played a game, they played the same game (and can talk about it (!)). We also had a bunch of news including this year's Keighleys. Featuring the 2nd best game that came out in March as the Game of the Year. What a fucking sham.

Have you ever wondered the best way to cook a turkey? How about Bourbon County Stout's origin story? No? Well too bad! We are back on our bullshit this week, so strap in.

We have Composed an audio file that sits squarely in our Domain of knowledge. We have taken on the Mantle of Responsibility for your enjoyment, and hope we are successful in entertaining you. If you don't like this, you can go to the Library, nerd.

Man, this was a bummer of an episode all around. We had 2 zoom crashes, so editing was a nightmare. If you're bummed out, maybe skip the last 20 minutes of the show so you don't have to hear about the the nightmare of stuff coming out about Activision. I mean....I dunno....Inscryption was pretty ok?

We played some GAMES this week, friends. Boy howdy, it's like a real podcast again. Also, Fish has some thoughts about Mass Effect, and Plachy is getting deep into the League of Legends lore.

I like to keep the episode titles PG, but the other options were "F*ck Muppets" "What if Cthulu F*cks?" You'll notice I put the * in those words so that they were no longer swears. It's like magic. Oh right, the episode. This week we talk Lust, Guardians, and DIY Wing Sauce. Also, if you're interested in the finer intricacies of music publishing, do we have a TREAT for you!

Hey, remember us? Yeah, we talked a couple days ago about video games and onions? Yeah, that was us. It was a weird time. Luckily, things are back to normal and we are at war with the Covenant again... Wait, what?
