Drews first question in the UFC QL "Do the Guys wear cups?"

So Vinny and Alex work in the same office as TV Guide and Vinny helps them out occasionally? I hope that lady is ready for the weird GB fans after showing up in the video.
 
I got UFC over the weekend and its fucking amazing. Im not even a UFC fan and Ive been having a shit ton of fun with the game. I look forward to hearing what the GB guys think...
 
Giancarlo introduced as "New Guy"?

It's a old joke about when he was jumping from site to site because he was cursing them and causing them to close, and a review he wrote for some game for a site (ign?) got people mad, and people were yelling about this "new guy" hating on this thing they liked, despite having been writing about games for ages.
 
So I decided to try out GameFace, I think I just found Jeff's Russian cousin.

(can't modify any facial features once in-game so this is what the game decided based on a bad UPF capture)

It was Too Human for 1up. It led to one of the greatest videos in GB history.

I seem to recall Jeff saying how that one video changed exactly how they approached things at GB and set the course for the site as we know it.

Basically, there's an argument that it's the most important video they've ever done.

I agree.

I take it you don't happen to recall exactly when/where? Would love to hear about that.

That is pretty interesting. I honestly think among everything they've done, it might still be my favorite video of theirs. Just set the tone for everything to come.
 
that UFC quicklook could have been one of the most routine, uninteresting videos on the site... if it weren't for the nightmare vision of Virtual Jeff making it into a surreal horror show.

I would probably actually buy that game if I could have VJ as a playable character.
 
CITY OF THIEVES OR NOTHING

That one was so good I bought it twice! I always liked Creature of Havoc too because it was such a neat idea, even though I never completed it. I remember getting myself stuck in a series of looping paths, not being able to find the one correct route and just giving up.
 
If we can make requests for what goes in the OP subscriber video reccomendations, I'd really recommend that the TNT with Brad Muir where they play Alter Echo and they make fun of his ska band. 2/21/13. Some nice insight into the developer's side of things, and it's a good roast for Brad.
 
So Jeff's twitter made me check amazon and the Retron 5 is back in stock in black if anyone is interested. They have $10 tacked on but not bad in comparison to the other offers.
 
First episode of How To Build A Beast was amazing and Alex just tweeted that Vinny is helping the TV Guide people (I'm assuming) film an interview with Ben Savage. Giant Bomb East!

Uh oh, CBS has realized Vinny's true talents and will now use him for bigger and better things than some video game website.
 
Vinny jumping ship to TVGuide in 3...2...
What I was thinking as well.

"We got a office in NY!" Nah, I think that Vinny wanted to move to NY and CBSi offered him the ability to work at TV Guide while doing Giantbomb on the side. Alex writes (wrote?) for TV.com as well.
