Brad did not know what kind of game it was, he just wanted to check it out because they hadn't done any coverage on the game.

Jeff seems to be enjoying watching this game though. He almost cracked!

When 10 year olds that grew up on minecraft outgrow it what type of game do you think they would naturally transition to?

2 Cheesy gordita crunches, 1 grilled stuffed nacho thing, 1 baja blast freeze. She kinda fucked up the gorditas though.

Minecraft?
Minecraft's a pretty good game with plenty of mod support, I'm sure someone's made a "brutal Mindcraft" thing.
Very good.

I too am sorry for those people having fun.

They do, in fact! I had it last week. I prefer the baja blast, but sangria was good.

Everyone wants to move on eventually. If you grew up on street fighter you might want to check out mortal kombat. If you like super Mario bros you'd probably be receptive to sonic 1.
If your favorite game for 2-3 years was minecraft at some point you'll want to do something new.

I'm genuinely upset that no stores around me stock Baja Blast during the summer like they're supposed to.

Rorie needs to stop cutting his own hair.
It's hit or miss. There's like 1 store around here that has it, but it doesn't always have it.

Same here. My local grocery store had it one week, and I haven't seen it since. I don't drink soda ever, really, but I will buy baja blast every time.

did you miss the part where he said he paid 30-some dollars for his haircut?

I don't know why they play games no-one has an interest in, not them, not their audience, nobody.
Like if Brad was into this, then fine.

UPFs is often just about games they want to test out or games they love and just want to play them for a bit. They don't know if it's any good or not half the time
The real issue is that brad is terrible at knowing when to pull the plug on a segment that isn't working.
Also, my girlfriend thought that military time was a time zone, like mountain time. It was cute.

I dunno, I feel like it's obvious they hate games like that. And the Giant Bomb fanbase probably does too.
Vinny goes into them with reckless abandon but that's about it.
UPF started as a way for them to bring something to the table they wanted to show.

Oh god this is nauseating to watch in the most literal sense of the word. Something about the jerky jank movement and the rapid swinging of his weapon.

I agree glitch, the head bob is a big much too.

Alright
Alright I'm ready for whatever the hell this monstrosity is going to be.

I take that back, I wasn't ready for a Doom reskin.

The impaling harpoon weapon was so fun.
And the exploding dam was probably one of the best action set pieces in a FPS.
fuck this game was so good
Oh wow, was this recent? What a week.

People Can Fly spun off as an independent studio and was allowed to take the Bulletstorm IP.

Bulletstorm on the PC is held back by shitty extremely low bitrate 720p cutscenes and gfwl.
At least one of those things will hopefully get resolved soon

Acclaim had some amazingly bad ideas in the 90s (edit: Well, the extended 90s known as the early 2000s) too. Name your kid Turok, let us advertise Shadow Man on your family member's tombstones, everything BMX XXX.

The Bulletstorm demo isn't quite on Just Cause 2 or Red Faction Guerrilla levels, but it's on the next tier of best demos ever made. It convinced me on a game I probably would have dismissed entirely. And seeing that it actually works on PC makes me want to grab it the next time it's on sale again.

Gaming pet peeve: When, later in a game, you come across enemies that are immune to your abilities. Star Wars games are pretty bad about this, with enemies impervious to force abilities and/or lightsaber.

That was my absolute least favorite thing about the Force Unleashed games, it was such a drag fighting those damn shield storm troopers that could withstand 20 lightsaber strikes.
