Great UPF. The last segment was up there with the very best UPF segments ever.

edit: The character select portraits are great:

Great UPF. Also, Danny's basically a regular at this point which is awesome.

Drew's reminds me of Fantastopotamus' old avatar (low-fi robot Brad).
 
Mount your friends seems like top shelf local multi action (assuming your friends aren't bad persons)

That flight of nazera game looks great

great UPF all around
 
And the content keeps coming! Cannot even keep up with half of it.

Giant Bomb seems to be going at quite a clip recently, is this something we can expect to be sustained?

We are experimenting with capacity right now, once we get a feel for that we’ll start thinking more about how we want to spend our time and experiment more with new premium ideas and so on. Perhaps we’ll make it out to an event or two, while we’re at it. The goal is to have a good variety of stuff across the board, not just “do more Quick Looks.”

So it seems like they're testing what their absolute maximum 'normal content' output is, then they're going to scale back to a reasonable level and fit in more events/features. Cannot wait.

Makes sense to do it like this. Hoping for episode 2 of How to Build a BEAST soon!

It's cool that we're getting more content on weekends and mondays now too!

That's super exciting. I'm a fan of Quick Looks but I find new stuff (especially event coverage) really exciting.

Is this one of the funniest QLs or what? I can't stop laughing. Danny's commentary is amazing. Also, the controls are so appropriately insane.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I figured. Can't wait for new ideas!

I dunno, I'd say that if they can somewhat play it after 40 minutes without even bothering to really look at the controls then I'd say that it's more intuitive than I expected.
 
LOL I want to throw money at this trio, so fucking funny.

They bring up the control scheme multiple times, but sure. :p They also get Danny's half-assed explanations.

INCREDIBLE BALLING
 
Oh shit, I was wondering if I'd still have the patience for games like this but my interest in Oddworld New 'n Tasty doubled upon seeing quicksave/quickload.

This Velvet Sundown video we’re running in the relatively near future might be the dumbest thing I’ve ever been a part of.

Oh my god. Did they all play together?

Probably! Brad also called it GOTY on Twitter, so I'm sure we're getting something special here :)
 
Really enjoy watching Vinny & Alex play NFL 2K5. The only team that made watching football bearable for me in the past has been Jeff & Vinny, and this is not the same type of commentary which makes the great rapport between the two all the more impressive to me. GBNY living up to their beast status.

Found a quick food related story by Dan in one of the Replay videos at Game Informer.

He talks about how he ate cheese dogs out of shoebox for a summer. Wonder how many more of these there are.

What in the fuck is wrong with this guy. It's like he grew up with parents who just didn't say a word to him at any point during his childhood.

"Oh you want to microwave hotdogs in a shoebox and eat them? Yeah, go right ahead. Actually, fuck it. Lets all do that."
