He wants to know if Giant Bomb (the website) will ever do a video (pictures in rapid succession) of Drew (employee of Giant Bomb) flying a plane (an airborne vehicle).

 

[jambo]

so do you think we're going to get a giant bomb Drew Flies An Actual Plane video

Jeff and Dan try and play Super Mario Bros. 3 while Drew barrel rolls and stall spins.

Surely that should be a Star Fox game.

Quick Look: Virginia

While it won't be for everyone, Virginia is definitely for more than just lovers.

e: I enjoyed the game overall.
e2: I'm glad Vinny enjoyed this game a bunch.

So did I. Overall I would probably say it's like a 3/5 for me though. It probably became a bit too overstuffed by the end for it's own good.

Oh man, I can't wait for the next Hitman vid. The new Colorado map has some really good stuff on it

It does, but I wonder how much Braddan will see in their run. Initial impression is that their free-wheeling style wouldn't really work here.

I think it could. I took out 3 of the 4 targets without using any opportunities

 

[The Technomancer]

oh my god

I just looked up the ending to Shenmue

Dan's poker face is amazing

 

[repeater]

I'm not familiar with the ending to Shenmue, and you writing that might make me second guess a lot of stuff. I'm not super sensitive to stuff like that, but you know about our spoiler sensitive times. Just imagine the uproar in this thread if Brad had posted that!

I won't say anything else, but I am now eagerly awaiting the end of this endurance run

i'm gonna be laughing my ass off when Vinny and Alex see the ending.

I'm sure there are gonna be a lot of important think pieces about Virginia.

Ryo has a split personality and doesn't realize that he actually killed his own father.

Edit to add: this is why everyone is town is so awkward when you talk to them.

Spoiler

Ryo and Gui Zhang crash a big gang meeting at the harbor and fight 70 dudes but find nothing about Lan Di. Chen tells Ryo "okay I'll send you to Hong Kong sheesh" and Ryo takes one last walk through town before getting back to the harbor and fighting Gollum and once again learning that yes, Lan Di is going to Hong Kong. Ryo gets on the boat and there's some voice over about how now the story of Shenmue is beginning.

I'm not buying that thing until they fix the pc version. still mad they botched that.

The biggest Shenmue shit talkers are the one that didn't play it in 2000, that shit was magical at the time. No matter how bad it is by today's standards I'll always have a soft spot for it. It's comparable to Deadly Premonition, a bad "game" but a great game too.

Plus all the twit haters can kiss off and fight Lan Di-sama!

Some groundbreaking works of art age very well: I Love Lucy, Illmatic, Citizen Kane, Mario 64, etc. Others ... don't.

I see.

[oti]

I really hope Shemnue 3 turns out to be exactly like Shemnue 1 but with better textures. The animation, the voice acting, the mechanics should all stay the same.

 

[Salarians]

Deadly Premonition is a bad "game" and also a bad game

 

[KingKong]

instead of playing Deadly Premonition you can just rewatch Twin Peaks because anything good has been shamelessly ripped off from it

no way this is real...

 

[broncobuster]

Seeing them get into Shenmue 2 will be fun for losing the nostalgia angle Dan has. It's an all around better game but has its fair share of Shenmueisms.

the only bad thing about deadly premonition is actually playing it

shenmue is bad all around

Shenmue is great.

Deadly Premonitions is entertaining to play on your own but I couldn't get into either endurance run. Shenmue's is worth it for Vinny's descent into madness alone.

No DP is goddamn magical. Shenmue is cool for the time. Premonition is immortal.

Games from 2000 that aged better (and are better) than Shenmue:

The Sims
Vagrant Story
Majora's Mask
Deus Ex
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
Tekken Tag Tournament
Final Fantasy IX
Skies of Arcadia
Space Channel 5
Diablo 2

Why don't I just copy and paste the whole list of year 2000 games and then delete Shenmue?

I mean to be fair you need to compare it to just RPGs from that time and most have aged pretty badly

You go for an unskippable walk for 3 hours in Shenmue II.

its a role playing game isnt it? I mean most shooters aren't going to age much but games with new mechanics will

 

[strafer]

and this Virginia game looks really good.

Never have I see Vinny play a game this seriously.

Would love if they did a let's play.

So far 3 Gaffers here who played it said it was horrible, esp the ending.
