It was pretty fun. It probably helped a lot that it came between XCOM 1 and 2, but it was a solid 3/4 star sort of thing. There was a lack of variety to a degree toward the end of the game, but especially as part of a bundle it's a good pickup for a dozen hours.

They're building a PC in a boat!
I turns out Brad is good at games.

What is the 8-4 podcast? It seems relevant to my interests.

My Summer Car was the best Quick Look in a while. Do Finnish folks curse about Satan a lot?

I think I might make Drew my Giant Bomb dad because he seems the most well adjusted and normal and Vinny Giant Bomb daddy.
I'm so conflicted.

8-4 is a localization studio in Japan, made up of westerners mostly. They have a podcast about Japan, games and Japanese games.

IIRC it was something that was cooked up when Patrick was still with GB plus they are all friends during the media days .

8-4 started independently until GB started a cooperation with them of some sorts. Listen to the podcast, it's really good and my second favourite after the Bombcast. You won't be hearing about Call of Duty or Assassin's Creed on there. I think they had a 5h episode for Dragon Quest X tho. And a lot of Nintendo talk.

There was something that Brad said during one of the times he was a faker that signaled red flags to me that he was probably the faker. It was something along the lines of him trying to "understand" something about the game after a question had ended. I quickly realized he was playing dumb and sure enough, he was the faker.

Tell me more about Fake Brad.
Brad not understanding something fundamental about a game is perfectly in line with Brad's bradness.
Unless he really did never let go of the hold button.

If I recall, he was trying to "understand" something about the answering process. Something about the way he brought it up felt forced.
JBPP3? Unfortunately, I don't have it. BUT, only one of us needs to own it. If any of us has the game, they can stream it (only on PS3/XB1/Steam) and everyone else can join in with their phones while watching the stream. When Jeff joined a Jackbox Panel at PAX last year, I was watching the stream and joined in the game as an audience member to vote things, so that does work quite well. However, Fakin' It would be impossible to play, due to the need to see the people's hands/fingers up or facial expressions.

So did Drew go with Jeff to NYC to do the My Summer Car ql or...?
My guess is yes.
Someone said he might have skyped in but the audio was too good to be skype.

Drew was on UPF though
Drew was there with Danny for an Alt-F1 meet up or something so probably?
Then maybe this was recorded years ago before Vinny left for NY?

He took an F1 car to New York and back. 10x faster than a plane you know

Drew (or Vinny and Jeff) probably set up a separate audio file of the mic feed to be recorded alongside the recording of the QL. That was then mixed that into the encode in post. It depends what end did what.
Many people do this for podcasts when staff are scattered across the country. It would work here too.

Patrick is the master of this

What if Vinny flew back to SF just for this QL?
Seriously, watch the Ekranoplanes QL. The audio is not worse
But what about picture though? He watched it through some 340p webcam? Nah, I dont think so.
Record both audios locally and use edit magic.
Nobody suspected of him because of that. He is the master of disguise after all!

Alright, this thread is getting creepy again. Stop it.
