Meh, every industry have to have their hipsters. I am already used to it since I am really into indie music and most of them are Patrick-like personel. At least we don't have an abondance of them in the gaming indiustry and I really don't mind Patrick that much.

I haven't seen ToeJam and Earl since the early 90s and I can't handle how fucking rad it is. The swag on those walking animations! Downloading right now.
If it's something I don't care about, i'll leave it on in the background and listen to it while I'm doing other things.
If I'm not interested in the game and Jeff or Vinny is in the video I'll watch some and leave the audio running while I do something else. If there's no Jeff or Vinny, I'll only watch if I'm interested in the game. If I'm low on time, I'll skip to the end of the video because you can usually deduce what they think of it just from the last minute or so.
If Sunset Riders actually came out they'd do it.

Anarchy Reigns isn't exactly that, but it's pretty close.

I watch all of them without skipping anything. Which has currently led to a substantial backlog of QLs. Haven't really seen much of the latest ones because I'm still catching up.
I've been skipping over a lot of QLs he's in because of stuff like this, really bothers me. Couse, he's been in A LOT of them lately. :\
Agree completely with this. Like him better on bombcast though, and some of his articles are pretty good.
Also, who the fuck has played Bayonetta and cannot remember that it has a dodge button. It's pretty much one of THE most important mechanics (or "systems" as they like to say) in the game.
It's the filter. You can turn that down or up. I'm currently playing it with it turned all the way up, it's awesome, it's like living calligraphy.

The Botchamania thing Jeff mentioned on the WWE Quick Look is very cool. The guy doing that stuff is extremely observant and makes very entertaining videos even if you have no clue about wrestling. I think it actually has some similarities to Red Letter Media in that sense.
The same things about Patrick that make him good at his news job make him annoying in Quick Looks.
Exactly, Jeff would jump on it in a heartbeet if they would release Sunsetriders.
I generally watch the whole things.
There are a couple of recent (long) QLs that I abandoned part of the way through (Halo and Farm Sim), but I'm not sure if it is worth going back to finish them.

The MGS Revengeance looks pretty good. It doesn't really have the look or feel of a MGS title, but it looks like a lot of fun.
Raiden really sounds like Goku when he's slashing sometimes, haha.

I skip all Brad/Patrick QL's unless it's a game that I'm really, really interested in. If someone can name a good QL with JUST those two, I will change my mind, but there's no 'funny' in any of their quick looks. I also skip a lot of the 'indie darling' games that get QL'd
Ill have it on the side of the screen while I do shit. Its nice background noise

At 31 games the Midway collection would of cost $93 in Game Room.
Seriously. Just like that, without any errors.

I try to watch all of them, but I'll skim through the games I'm not terribly interested in/running slowly.

I tend not to finish QL's unless someone posts here or in the comments about some amazing moments.
You usually have a good idea of the game after a few min of menus and a few min of gameplay.

Oh weird, I thought you were talking about GAFers who preferred the original GB cast.

It needs dodge and permanent dismemberment.
I don't think you really need one, there's an automated Z-targeting so parrying per enemy isn't really an issue, at least in the demo.
While obviously people are comparing it to Bayonetta due to the genre/developer, it doesn't play anything like it, it's more like PoP'08 meets Ninja Gaiden. I don't think anyone is going to go hog wild with the precision cutting in general play, it's pointless.

You can dodge in Revengeance. I forget the button combination -
EDIT: Jump and light attack. Raiden jumps back and does an attack. If you press the stick, you can choose which direction to dodge in.
I miss Game Room, both the videos and the actual thing itself. I'd really like something similar to it as a hub for gaming on a console.

So many games in that Midway Arcade QL. Felt like it lasted for hours, haha. Really bummed about the Smash TV controls, but at least there's the store versions. Looks like a nice collection of titles, though, all things said.
Okami HD... Maybe this is the excuse I needed to pick it up. Seems like a fun little title, but, like Patrick, I avoided it because of the time requirements. It's dumb, since I've played much longer games, but still... His story about drunkenly throwing his game out the window made me laugh. How bizarre, haha.

What aspect of it is like PoP'08?

I spent an hour and a half today watching Jeff and Ryan play shitty old Atari games.
AND IT WAS GREAT
The skippable text is how it was in the original. So basically, they lied.
It's heavily parry based, and the auto-locking on enemies gives it a one on one feel even though there are often more enemies in the encounter. They back off and wait in the demo quite a bit, like Assassin's Creed.
Who knows, I've only played the demo, anything could happen with the finished game, but within the demo, the combat reminds me a lot of PoP'08 really.

Watching the Midway Origins QL, I never realized how fuckin' awesome the music is in Marble Madness.

Ewww this is not the Paper Mario that we needed. Why Nintendo? Why? Vinny yawning during the QL seemed appropriate.
On the upside - Vinny on QLs is fun. "Do you think any kid has ever tried to stomp on a turtle in real life?"
