Alright, I can understand that perspective, and don't get me wrong, I enjoy that dynamic that Jeff brings as well.
For me though demo Derby is for me to discover how fucking hilarious the 90s were seeing that I was too young to really remember most of it. In that regard there's still nothing that tops the super diesel PlayStation truck.
I also get the sense that Jeff couldn't really give a fuck about FF7. I don't think he was that enamored with it when it was new, much less now.
I still kind of wish that they had played Underground Issue 2, which had the FF7 demo. I played the shit out of that issue, being one of the people who got it specifically for the FF7 demo.
Would have been way too expensive.
The closest you get is instore demo cartridges of individual games which did include some beta content.

My playstation came with the FFVII demo disc packed it. It was a complete surprise as nowhere on the box did it list that it was included.
I mustve played that thing a dozen times, it was so good hah

Nope.
But Demo Derby can't finish without ending on a crappy music video :V

I'm mostly in it for Drew. You can never guess what he played or not so it's great seeing or should I say hearing his reactions. Jeff adds some great history to all of it though so, both are good to me.
Also, Slain is releasing tomorrow on PC. I'm personally waiting for consoles but damn does it look insane.

Do we know if they recorded the podcast yesterday?
That game looks pretty cool. It's not a rogue like is it?
Nvm doesn't look like one. The description was brief.
Also there are actually a lot of exciting smaller games for the crew to look at over the next couple months without any big releases.
Looks like a prettier Volgarr: The Viking, but maybe that just me.
It was to sell you something - the next issue where they would print them.
Not a fan of pixel art usually, but that looks great.

I thought Slain was delayed?

I thought Riot was making a Pixel art game for a second.
Vinny spoke with management before leaving and advised they axe it.
Vinny's leaving?
Yep, packed up his things and left Giant Bomb.
You won't see Brad stepping foot on the ol' Giant Bomb floor anymore either.
In fact, I think the whole crew has stepped down with him.
Surely games > magazine
I get that image on Facebook all the time because It's used as the header for the GB group and it shows up in my recommendations on the right lol.
Good business case for using Ad Blocker if you ask me.

He's becoming a full time Vampire Hunter. Please stay tuned for the Castlevania: Rondo of Blood Let's Play on youtube.com/vinnycaravella
when will the giant bomb explode?
Yes, we need backstory on this new character development. Also, where is the Taco Bell-gate subplot between Vinny and Dan going to go? I liked the Small Business Man mini series last week, that was cool.

Because Quake
When you have an awesome Quake II hat, you wear that shit.
But he's worn a non-Quake hat as well.

Magazines, even official ones, didn't exist as a philanthropic effort for the gaming industry, they needed to increase their own distribtuion and (at the time) had the clout to convince publishers to provide 'secret' content.
Brad is truly the Alex Mack of the giant bomb crew.
Edit:
A trilogy of great games can be yours for just 3.79 or whatever that is in your local currency

Bingo. This is exactly what makes Demo Derby work - the 3 different perspectives.
catching up on bombcasts and they just mentioned what i assume must have been glitches' email about download speeds and i can't seem to find that discussion
they mention it on the 10/13 cast so i went back to the 10/06 cast to relisten but yeah, no dice. a timestamp would be appreciated
