Ravaged: Giant Bomb Quick Look

So good

 

[daydream]

Well I didn't have a rechargeable pack, it was 6 standards AA batteries directly in the Gamegear that leaked all over the place.

Anyway, not a big deal but it sucks to throw away old consoles.

Oh, gotcha. Maybe take a look at this: http://forum.digitpress.com/forum/showthread.php?134153-Cleaning-battery-acid-off-my-Game-Gear (just came up after googling "game gear leaked batteries")

Pretty sure you can clean it up, no need to throw it away.

Cool thanks, I'll look that up.

I wonder if that dude ever knew he became famous.

he was already famous, he was a pro.

Definitely in the top 5 giantbomb moments for me.

I should point out that I do like metal gear, but it kinda took over - a bit like souls games did the year before.

This year was great because we got both Souls & MGS!

Wonder what the next Breaking Bard will be

One of the few times the actual context was 100% funnier than just a gif

 

[Hot Coldman]

I will say one thing about Metal Gear Scanlon - it'd be nice if there was another ongoing Let's Play series GB was doing that it could alternate with.

Maybe Vinny and Alex, or Alex/Vinny and Cara new person can start something next year.

 

[AuthenticM]

Vinny should play through Bloodborne.

 

[Chuck]

is there no game over on alert setting in mgs3?

 

[Hot Coldman]

I believe that's European Extreme, maybe?

 

[Askherserenity]

24 Hour Bloodborne stream featuring Vinny on release day 💣

 

[Volotaire]

Yep.

well i'm not that hardcore >_>

This is what we need! The NeoGAF Community Thread Top 10 Giant Bomb moments of 2014.

I nominate:

-Drew trying so hard to line up the jackpot on Mario Party to steal stars.
-Dan tricking everyone into picking his fbbage answer after accidentally giving the real answer away.
-Drew killing himself with the nakita in MGScanlon
-The first time shit goes beyond light speed in Lethal League
-Jeff winning "#1 in our hearts"
-Vinny proclaiming "This is the kind of room Rorie would live in".. when it's like an apartment in a drug den.
-Barkerville
-Brad's third leg joke


there's more but I digress

 

[Data West]

Ryan's face during the entire PS4 reveal

The pathos

And Jeff falling during the Olympics stream

 

[Hot Coldman]

Barkerville was preeeeetty funny.

It was an empty room with nothing but a chair and a tv and that line completely killed me.

Man I need some new vinny content soon

When everyone left the set while Alexis was playing with the Oculus Rift at the end of Unprofessional Fridays.

Edit: That may have been 2013 though...

 

[The Dear Leader]

I still think Drew's Pac-man voice is some of the funniest shit of the year.

When was that?

 

[Teddified]

Vinny playing bot colony was pretty great.

 

[Bacon]

Dan going, "wait.... Am I Apollo?" On Mario party party 2 was great.

 

[TharpDaddy]

The Dan vs Jeff jump rope in Mario Party 2 was also really great. There's been a ton of hilarious moments this year. The pog fight, Dan hating on Boyle in Velvet Sundown, incredibly drunk Dave Lang at GDC, and many more.

 

[Ketch]

When was that?

It's in the Majestic Night's Quick Look: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-majestic-nights-chapter-one/2300-9656/

I also nominate the twist ending to the 2nd round of Avalon during Giant Bomb Unplugged. Also, the Ian, Danny, Alexis 24hr live stream from earlier in the year... some good stuff there, lifeguard. trial version?, and whatever that terrible 3rd person shooter was.

Ok, the Pogs moment definitely goes on the list. The Alexis oculus gag was great but it's from like a year and a half ago.

 

[Alucrid]

watching the last metal gear scanlon. i forgot how op handcuffs are

 

[SteveWinwood]

FUCK OFF BOYLE NO ONE LIKES YOU

 

[BreezyLimbo]

My top moment for this year is Drew fighting Gray Fox.

"Uhhhhh what's happening"
Gray Fox-"Hurt me more!"
"Ok!"
~Game Over~

 

[Myggen]

Jeff and Dan watching the Outlaw Golf 2 intro was pretty great.

Dan's last run on the roller coaster with the epic music playing, Dan looking like he's about to die.

 

[Teddified]

Vinny and Alex's journey to build a PC was both sad and funny.

 

[Incandenza]

- When Jimmy puts the pepper grinder on top of the coffee maker and Vinny screams
- Drew stealing Brad's stars in Mario Party Party
- Jeff and Dan jumping rope in Mario Party Party 2
- Dan falling in the last Mount Your Friends match
- Jeff stealing all of Dan's Pogs
- Don Bradman's head
- The entirety of Velvet Sundown
- Vinny's plumbing story
- Giant Bomb vs. The Roller Coaster
- When everyone collectively realized the beauty of Gang Beasts

 

[Aarglefarg]

He's called vamp because he's gay, and was in a relationship with Fortunes father. Looking up the definition of Vamp-
noun
1.
a seductive woman who uses her sensuality to exploit men.

So....I guess?

Spoiler

He's bisexual, a recurring trope for MGS villains. Vampires in literature have been known to represent bisexuality.

 

[f0rk]

The pog one wins for me. Mario Party jump rope is close. Basically anything Jeff vs Dan will turn out well

Such a great moment.

The look on Dan's face and everything else following that (the American Gladiators music, Tim Turi and Brad trolling him, Jeff's indifference) just made it godlike

 

[Ketch]

guys. pogs was probably the best.

We'll have to give it a couple days and then have an actual vote maybe.

 

[Myggen]

Dan falling in Mount Your Friends (UPF with the whole GB crew) must be up there too. Also, Brad climbing to the top of the level in the Gang Beasts Unfinished ("TRIUMPH OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT!").

guys. pogs was probably the best.

That explosion is so perfectly timed.

 

[hamchan]

Sanrio World Smash Ball, Dan v Jeff, our first introduction to Dan on Giant Bomb and we find out his ultra competitiveness.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I think there needs to a special mention of Jason's excellent camera work in a lot of these moments, he's Vinny tier on putting dumb stuff on screen.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Oh, I know. I was trying to see if 'Vamp' meant anything beyond being a comparison of a 'Vampires' sexuality.

 

[daydream]

Roughly 16h left till GOTY time.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Jeff said during the Tuesday stream that people voted for the big 2014 titles to be revisited in their GOTY videos. Colossal letdown if true. They should have limited the vote to games that hadn't received any video coverage. If they end up looking at Dragon Age & company again, that would be such a missed opportunity. Let's hope the GB community was smarter than that.

 

[7DollarHagane]

Any chance Dan reads this thread?

Also I think it would be interesting for them to start mgs3 and use the snake eater style overhead camera and see how drew takes to it..

Maybe see if he gets through the virtuous mission without complaining and then during operation snake eater switch to the subsistence camera?

Since he just played two games with the overhead maybe he wouldn't complain too much?

Nah, just go with the camera most people agree is superior.

Popularity contests always ends up like that, it sucks. I'm not surprised at all. People never think of what will make a good video when voting for things like that, just what games they personally enjoy.

Any chance Dan reads this thread?

He reads and posts in this thread. Hopefully not in his vacation though!

 

[Volotaire]

The whole crew reads and posts in this thread except Drew, Jason and Alex (I think). Even Danny from time to time . Also, I hope they don't use the overhead camera. Drew is already frustrated enough at some of the controls.
