Two QLs tomorrow, it seems. Crimsonland and Spintires.

Btw has Patrick said anything about GB Chicago stuff on Bombin'? Feel like they've been letting things slide a bit after the Spelunky streams (and two Friday shows).

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

I believe it was a podcast, but I can't recall which one. They were talking about how it was just this quick idea they had, and they shot it, but didn't decide until the last minute to actually post it. They thought they were going to get into real trouble for posting it or something, but then the audience loved it, so they veered more into the "stupid" stuff and really went to town.

Something like that.

I believe it was the Ryan cast just after his death.

Now I'm imagining what alternate universe Giantbomb could be like. Obviously they would never have the staff to be Gamespot 2 or IGN 2 or Polygon 2, or anything else really? GB continues to be quite the singular case. I guess that's why we're all still here.

That went nowhere, didn't it. #huh

Yeah, not ready to relisten to that. But thanks. :( (I also vaguely remember now.)

The weird thing is that Giant Bomb is still probably going to outlast at least one of those major "real" sites.

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

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.

Thanks a ton for mentioning this. Just ordered. It's from GoHastings and I kinda want to just check the local one around here, but I'll just play it safe and wait the extra shipping time.

While I'm here, has everyone seen that Mikey Neumann (everyone's favorite E3 panelist this year) is giving the PAX Prime keynote this year? As if PAX could get worse. I really wish Giant Bomb would do their panels elsewhere...

Could be worse. Could be Greg Miller.

If you are wondering, the new "Video Thing," is Patrick video essay - not some crazy nonsense like it used to be. I guess it is fine for him in inherited the name.

I was just thinking that there hasn't been a Jar Time in a while. I wonder just how much Jeff is going to be hinting about next week.

Also yay new video essay from Patrick!
 
Damn they're doing a QL on Crimsonland? I picked it up on the steam sale because I had so many memories of playing it during my comp sci class in 2004. We'd always play survival and huddle around people who we're doing really well. Still plays the same but the added controller support isn't great. Especially compared to how far twin-stick shooters have come.

Well, "video thing" was just the name they used for smaller stuff that didn't fit their "feature" intro, so it makes sense.

To me, "Video Thing" was at least a recorded video of them in front of a camera doing something - rapping about 2 Human, eating Surstromming, or advertising and iPhone App. It was always an off-the-cuff type video. Patrick's "Video Thing" will be (likely) a piece of scripted content of him talking over preshot video.

However, "Video Thing" has been gone so long, it means nothing anymore. There is nothing wrong with it been used in a new fashion.

Seeing as he is using the name. I wonder would Patrick the opening bumper voiced by Ryan?

Nah, that would be incredibly tactless.

Using the opening bumper voiced by Ryan? I don't see how that would be tactless (if that's what you were referring to). It has always been the standard bumper for those videos, don't see how what happened would make still using that bumper "tactless".

I guess we've got different opinion on this one, then. I just always associated that video with "stuff that isn't a feature video", random or otherwise. So if he plans to use that bumper it would be fitting. Anyways, this is a dumb discussion.

Sorry, I will let everyone get back to things that matter - like Final Fantasy

Ah sorry. Thought that guy was referring to making a new one with voice samples.

I remember that... and Vinny said that he made Jeff push the upload button, because he couldn't do it himself.
 
That UFC Jeff face isn't bad, really.

Just put him on a proper body, they've got Roy Nelson in that game, right? So it should be doable.
