Holy shit the production quality on this Xbox One S video is amazing. This is exactly what Giant Bomb should be.

Old school GB? I ain't seen this level of product sniffing since Aram Jabbari amscrayed from Atlus.

Yes.

[Mister Negative]

yeah, the Xbone S video and the Ekronoplans QL are vintage GB. Hope it's the start of something!

 

[Velikost]

Duuuuude Dan's really leaving for NYC? I mean, the BeastCast is gonna be nuts now, but I dunno if Papa Jeff can carry Brad, Drew and Jason all by himself. This is going to be weird.

AND NOW MARIO PARTY PARTIES WILL BE EVEN FURTHER APART. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Just watched this it's so good "I work with a bunch of assholes"

 

[Data West]

Honestly more interested in Vice Gaming at this point than Giant Bomb.

 

[Mr. F]

I hope if Austin does end up doing a podcast with patrick that he does it from the Vice office - the sound quality on his home setup is rouuuugh. I guess it's a bandwidth/compression thing? It's noticeable on Friends at the Table too.

I'm watching that Ewan McGregor bike around the world documentary that Drew mentionned a couple of times on the podcast... This is fucking fantastic.


They are in the middle of Ukraine right now and a random dude in the village invited them to his house for the night and in the middle of dinner the dude runs upstairs and comes back down with a guitar in his left hand and an AK-47 in his right hand lmao.

The Long Way Down is also good - where they bike from northern to southern Africa.

Giant Bomb made me spend money on that game after Jeff's nonsense with it

...at least it was super cheap. I never reached four hours play time though.

 

[Salarians]

We have to put my cat to sleep tomorrow, the first real pet I ever had. What GB things cheer you up at your lowest lows?

Sorry to hear that.
GB videos certainly helped me when I went through this a few years back. Here's some good choices:
Sleeping Dogs: Nightmare in Northpoint QL
Enforcer: Police. Crime. Action. QL
Velvet Sundown QL
Roller Coaster Rampage QL
Motorbike QL

[Lunar FC]

Any of y'all been to an F1 race? I'd defiantly urge you guys to go to one given the opportunity.

 

[The Technomancer]

Man Drew is in like every QuickLook this week huh? Maybe instead of hiring some one new right away they're just bumping him up to a much more regular content participant

 

[Megasoum]

Is it on Netflix?

I think it might be on US Netflix? It's not in Canada.

It's called The long way round.

It's on YouTube but kinda shitty quality.

Yeah, I've been to the Canadian GP twice. I think it was 2002 and 2004. It was great. I was sitting on the chicane before the hairpin and I remember that the BAR were so fucking loud that you could hear them downshift in your chest when they were breaking for the hairpin like 500ft behind you lol.

I went to one back in 2014, in large part due to Alt+F1 and my father being into the sport. It was an incredible experience and I'm glad I went (it's indescribable how fast those cars are, what you see on TV does no justice to the speed).

I would like to go again, but I dropped $600 per ticket... And while it was super enjoyable, there's a lot of other awesome things I can do with $600.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Is it on Netflix?

I checked and both "Long Way Round" and the follow up show "Long Way Down" are on US Netflix. Both of them are great.

When McGregor got too busy to do the trips Charley Boorman did three more for TV - By Any Means, By Any Means 2, and Race to Dakar. All these shows are fun as well.

I still remmember the feeling as I was walking over a bridge during FP3 and just the sensation of the cars passing underneath you. Indescribable.

USGP I assume? I went in 2012. Awesome experiance.

Sweet! I'll check it out

 

[Twin Tails]

Finishing 1st episode of that McGregor thing, I might watch all of these right now in one sitting.

That unboxing video was really bad and not funny.

 

[Aarglefarg]

Fun fact: Twilight Princess HD was made by the studio who made Funky Barn. Tantalus.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Funky Barn Unarchived, huh.

Well, I know what I'm doing! Funky Barn coverage endurance view!

Just watched this it's so good "I work with a bunch of assholes"

Like eight seconds in, Brad says "...I'm dead already." It's the bomb.

 

[NumberThree]

Happy Easter, Xbox One S

 

[wild_fire987]

Correct, I hope I can go back soon because the atmosphere is pretty awesome!

 

[derFeef]

For unboxing, a steady camera would be preferred.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Oh man, the Abzu QL made me realise how wide open the window is for an open world seafaring game, where you can seamlessly explore 'neath sea and over the land. Just imagine the possibilities!

Also, Abzu looks great.

God pray that's what Sea of Thieves turns out to be.

 

[Xater]

I was super bored 5 minutes into the Abzu QL. A nice looking game, but I could not think of anything more boring to play.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

I had an urge last night to watch a lot of old Gamespot's Tournament TVs.

I remember on one of the Counter-Strike ones they did Ryan MacDonald brought in his replica guns (which I think are the ones they got from Japan and brought back via the airport...)

 

[LurkerPrime]

God pray that's what Sea of Thieves turns out to be.

Ehh, I don't mean sailing, but actual, honest-to-goodness underwater swimming--Aquaman-style.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Rewatching MGScanlon 3 on my way to finishing the rewatch. MGS4 after~ But this is funnier then I remember.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I forgot how funny the "sad chicken" sound in Funky Barn was

 

[Tubobutts]

It's too bad they couldn't do one last in studio Mario Party Party before Dan goes gbeast.

 

[Xater]

It's too bad they couldn't do one last in studio Mario Party Party before Dan goes gbeast.

So does East now have to continue the tradition? I mean they still have not played all of them. Also who is going to be the fourth player? Don't say Jeff, becaus he has a job at CNET and I doubt he can just say he has to play Mario Party for 4 hours.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Beast cannot fit four people into their recording closet at one time so no Mario Party Party-alike content can happen. Let's shut that down right now

 

[Twin Tails]

It's too bad they couldn't do one last in studio Mario Party Party before Dan goes gbeast.

The next Mario Party will be LIVE and feature the full 8 players.
Jeff
Brad
Drew
Vinny
Alex
Dan
Rorie

Yeah, that's really good. Watched it years ago when it first aired on British television. The guy he is traveling with Charlie Boorman is famous director John Boorman's son. He directed the excellent Deliverance and the less excellent but totally bonkers Zardoz.

But...but...there are more Mario Parties that need to be played...

 

[Human Trashcan]

Somehow that unboxing video is borderline nauseating to me. Maybe it's because of the green screen background and constant camera movement. It's very strange.

It definitely wasn't very pleasant to me, either. Might have been the movement.

So what is UPF going to be like this week?

Jeff is on vacation and Dan is headed to NYC. Danny, the most likely pinch hitter, is over in Europe.

So... Mary? Peter? Random guest?
