My earliest Giant Bomb memory is the amazing Otomedius Excellent Quick Look.

Way back during the PS2 era, I played a little Kingdom Hearts and was underwhelmed.
I watched the AGDQ speedrun of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD last night and it looked really good. I am now thinking of getting it, despite my large backlog.
Is there something wrong with me (beyond the obvious)?

Because you can't defeat terrorists by conventional means.

I spend all my time playing the Guns N' Roses machine at Pinballz.

All the really good stuff you saw in the speedrun is going to be spread over a game like 10-20 times its length.
I've never touched a Kingdom Hearts game so I have no idea what they're like.

E-mail Rorie?
I can't remember when it was, maybe 2011/12, but I discovered GB through one of those regular GAF threads about "what gaming podcasts do you recommend".
I had never listened to podcasts before that, but I was intrigued and decided to try a few, and Giant Bomb was the only one that actually stuck.
There was a time when I used to listen to 4 or 5 different podcasts to keep me busy until the following tuesday's Bombcast, but I stopped that when I realised I wasn't having any fun listening to them lol

Pretty sure it does.
Even if it does not, it's not a bad game by having a horizontal monitor. It's just due to the nature of how pinball tables are constructed that a vertical monitor is more natural.

I remember when I properly started following them towards the end of 2011 and this thread was only on #3 back then and they really started kicking off in 2012. Was the fanbase here really small back then or was it the silly Quick Look thread split that kept it slow?
I started watching/listening almost the first day Dan started working there. My viewership is intrinsically tied to him, so I feel a kindred connection.
I did go back and listen/watch a lot of stuff from before him though.

We day 2 folks are the real cool guys.
Nope, you are not.

I still like you. <3
Really good, though a bit pricey depending on the tables you want.
What about those of us who didn't register on the site until we bothered to become premium, despite following it for years prior?

hello friend
We're the real best cool guys.
There is no proof of your fandom, so even less cool.

They're very hit or miss. 1 is a pretty good introduction into the franchise, but kinda suffers from its mechanics being very archaic. Chain of Memories is a really cool game with a hybrid card based action system (before cards were super played out), but it can get a bit repetitive towards the end. The DS games, 358/2 Days and Coded, are ok, but each have their own major flaws. And the 3DS one I'm pretty mixed on since it does some cool things from an action gameplay front, but it feels like its just another piece of filler to hold the fans over for 3.
The best games in the series, Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Final Mix, are the peak of the franchise. Though BBS has some poor balancing due to the nature of its command list system being easily broken, it has by far the best narrative of the series and the best characters, and the combat is still really fun. KH2 Final Mix is, in my opinion, one of the greatest action games ever made. The amount of content that the Final Mix version added to KH2 is insane and they finally fixed the poor balancing that KH2 had by adding more difficult bosses in the main story and a new higher difficulty level which feels like what the game was originally balanced for. The superbosses on the hardest difficulty is some of the most fun and difficulty I've ever had with a game.
I could go really deep into the hoops and frustration I had to go through to play Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix before it was translated and released in the US, but it was so worth it

Thaaanks. Being cool never stopped me before! Except for all the times it did.
Yup. Lurker Prime ain't got shit on me.
When Inspector Gadget wins over Dr Claw, he's just keeping Dr Claw at bay for another week. Sure its a win, but next saturday here comes Dr Claw with some new scheme.
If Dr Claw ever won over Gadget, its fucking over, the world is his regardless of the 86 previous times Gadget has won.
Same logic on a smaller scale. All Dan wants is Patrick to say "I quit", as long as he achieves that goal past defeats mean nothing.

Before last night, Sheamus beat Roman Reigns 2/3 times, yet Roman has the championship belt.
I hope this answers your question.
First Yahoo! News and now even Kotaku writes about it
I had heard about the popular Bombcast for years, but always imagined it as guys shouting obscenities at each other.
Then I watched the Ashen's Cricket QL via r/games and liked the people on it (Jeff, Vinny, Danny I think?). Around Christmas time 2013 I was searching for video game podcast fodder and tried the deliberations. Shortly afterwards the "end of 2013 from home" Bombcast with woodworking and stuff. Been following them ever since.

Speaking of early GB, we're coming on 5 years since the adventure of the Seabiscuit began!

So I walked a bit over 42km in the last week (while on vacation)... Now I'm back at work and I'm having walk withdrawals lol...
I'm thinking about walking home from work (about 8k) so I could really use an early podcast today...
Basically what I'm saying is please help me Brad, you're my only hope...

I was watching the AGDQ stream when I opened this and now I want to do a speedrun of Rogue Warrior.
Surely this isn't legit? http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/want-to-play-pac-man-with-a-thing-on-your-arm-no/2300-10930/

Are you serious? This isn't some staged fighting TV show for manchildren, this is real life.
That looks so much like a parody. But it probably isn't. Loved the girl's failed high five attempt at the end.
"activate pac-man", are these kinds morphing?
