Sounds like a no Vinny, all Alex Bombcast this week.
Brad's face at the lack of 480p on the Wii Mini, lol
Yeah, lol that look on his face was priceless. It's how I imagined how I must have looked when I beat Mass Effect 3 the first time.
Avatar'd if anyone wants it, lol

He looks like a non-Super Saiyan Guy Fieri.

Giantbomb with that gift swag.
Yeah, Jeff needs to keep his hair cut short, looks way better that way.
EDIT: Just realised I also have that adidas jacket. That's cool.
I think some of you guys shortchange the work that some members of Giant Bomb do.
At the same time though it's hard to justify their work at times because we don't know what goes on in the background.
There's a huge difference between the way Vinny and Brad do quick looks for example. If there's a game Brad isn't too eager to play he'll cut the quick look short and he will only do it because he has to so to speak. Vinny on the other hand is like.. "What do you mean that's all? What's in the menus?"
My favourite content on the site along the quick looks has to be Breaking Brad and the ones that go along with it like the Lantern Run. Those were just hilarious. Doom one is kinda weak because it's not as hard as the other ones so more progress is made. So if I had a choice there would be more of those around. Specially since there are tons of hard trophies/achievements they could go for.
I do have to say, having only the PS3 and Vita. Their overage of the said systems is by far the weakest on the site. From quickly looks to knowing what's coming out to TNTs to just about everything.
It's frustrating when they come on Monday and wonder what's there to quickly look when even I can come up with a 15 game list that they could cover and in the end nothing shows up.

I like long hair Jeff.
Makes him look like a mad scientist.

I'd like to see him with that hair, wearing Spoony's Doctor Insano outfit.
You shouldn't take the content complaints seriously, it's all part of the cycle
and the catalyst isn't finished yet so we can't break the cycle

Composite only av equipment in 2012 is horrifying!

It's hard to blame them for the lack of Vita coverage.

The Wii Miny looks like an old-ass game console and I sort of want one. It's a shame that it's still a Wii on the inside.
It's not 1080p, but I bought my parents a Roku box that has 720p, and wifi for only $50. The Wii Mini would only be worth considering at all if maybe it was $50. It's a piece of shit that Nintendo should never have bothered with in it's current form.
Looks cheap as shit, on par with the new PS3 or a bit worse.

Yeah, its even in Yamauchi-Approved Cheap Ass Famicom Red, too.
wait seriously? geez, Nintendo.
My connection was flying before on GB, now it's in the sub 100kb/s range like usual.

At least we now know what Brad looks like when he expresses [disbelief] at a drawback or negative on a game or game-related thing on the Bombcast.

Don't get me wrong, the thing looks garbage, but the plastic and the angles on console, at least from the video, reminds me of some sort of Famicom-Wii mashup.

I was thinking the exact thing.
Doesn't stop the other sites, or even some random guy on youtube... it's more of an excuse then anything. Every WiiU game will have the exact same problem from the sounds of it.
Was thinking of getting that Wii but I heard it doesn't have internet so... meh.
Maybe just wait for WiiU to drop in price.

The Wii is a toy, not a consumer electronic.

Oh, you people that hate Jeff's hair. That kind of hair is indicative of both an eccentric and a genius. Jeff's crazy hair is the best.
Brad's reaction to the composite cable, hahahahaha
I agree with Ryan, I don't think it looks as small as I was imagining. That is one really sweet looking console, though. The colors and design are super slick.

For WiiU at least they can take direct capture for the main part.
The pad footage never looks good.
Also I honestly do think the design of the Wii mini is super shitty.

I don't miss Brad's beard at all. >.>

He looks better without it.
Brad got his beard during Secret Wars. Turns out it was actually a sentient alien and attempted to take his body over. Will Smith was able to remove it using a sonic weapon but now it's lurking through San Francisco at night, seeking a disgruntled ex-coworker of Brad's who holds a grudge against him.
Is he coming so he'll be in the goty deliberations? Or have they already recorded them?

Already recorded. But he was piped in for some of it.
I don't mind Alex. I don't know what the hate is all about.

He's depressing and sarcastic and boring and "ironically detached" and sucks the fun out of the room with his snark.

Almost everything Nintendo has done since 2009 is basically a "fuck you" to people who enjoy their stuff.
Hey guys, 2 questions. I've been looking for some fresh content to get through this week while there isnt much on the site (i've seen most of the subscriber stuff, the good ql's, and the endurance runs.) Are any of the game room quick looks worth watching? Also how was the dave and alexis ER of the Halos? Thanks guys.

Watch the gameroom QL in order and watch as Jeff descends into madness. I like the Elder Scrolls videos with Dave and Ryan (by the end Dave was a Zombie, you can tell he didn't prepare for an all nighter).
