Solo Queue was great.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Catching up on game tapes - am I crazy for preferring the original GBA over SP? The form factor was way better, the clicky buttons on SP would always make my thumbs cramp up after a while as a kid.

You're crazy.

Yes. The SP is still an incredible handheld

 

[hwy_61]

All the SP was missing was a headphone jack. If it had a headphone jack it would've been the goat

 

[Antiwhippy]

Wait it seriously didn't have a headphone jack?

 

[Aarglefarg]

Wait it seriously didn't have a headphone jack?

Correct!

 

[DanLongman]

Yup the SP was the original iPhone 7. It had an adaptor that went through charge port too

Still in my opinion the greatest handheld ever.

It was certainly the most courageous.

 

[StoveOven]

The SP is great because it's the only handheld that you could reasonably fit in your pocket.

Edit: Well, I guess the Micro too.

 

[neshcom]

Watching Solo Queue and this is a fun concept for a show.

This Space Pirate Battle game looks weird. I guess this is DONTNOD's b-team? Seems like a strange space to explore from an otherwise narrative-driven studio.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I dunno, I feel like thinking handhelds need to be in a pocket is only a thing when I was a kid because I don't have to worry about shit like carrying wallets/keys/phones.

I don't think I would want to carry around a GB micro in my pocket.

 

[DanLongman]

Been watching my life in gaming RGB masterclass videos and found out the GameCube component cables I have somewhere are worth a bunch of cash now. I think they were 30 bucks back when I bought them off Nintendo.

To be fair, I was a kid when the SP was out, and it was awesome then.

 

[Invis]

If only the Micro screen was just a tiny bit smaller. I love the look of the unit itself though.

But yes, the SP was better than the regular GBA. Coming from someone who bought both immediately at their launch. Modding aside, it has a back-lit screen. Come on.

 

[kvothe]

I thought that Battle Crew game looked alright in the Solo Queue video. Too bad no one is playing it.

 

[stump sock]

I'm tired of small video game things. even the vita and 3ds xl are almost too cramped for comfort. the size of the switch controllers infuriates me.

give me big video games for my big dumb westerner hands

 

[Robaperas]

I liked Solo Queue, but as Jeff said, it's a bummer when you think the hours a bunch of people put into making those games.

Spoiler

Except the RE one, that one was trash from the beginning.

my brother sold an unopened package of the cables for $250 last year.

Yeah, it is a bummer.

 

[kingocfs]

"This game's $30."

smh

 

[Invis]

"This game's $30."

smh

That reminded me of their Tony Hawk 5 Quick Look where Dan was joking about the price and Jeff just says "Dan, this is a $60 game."

I lost it.

 

[kingofthedead45]

My fiance is making me watch this show called rectify. I'm gonna cry by the end of this aren't I?

 

[Brashnir]

Rather than playing clickers during the downtime, Jeff should just combine Solo Queue and Jar time into a single feature.

Bring back the original Xbox controller.

 

[Incandenza]

Yeah, it is a bummer.

It's a bummer but at the same time how do you sell your multiplayer-only indie game for $30 with no promotion and not know that it's gonna be DOA

 

[Tagyhag]

Bring back the original Xbox controller.

They should, with 2 bumpers added and make the bigass xbox logo in the middle touch sensitive like the Dualshock's bar.

Then it could actually be useful.

As a live feature, garbo GB fans would destroy the queues by joining them.

 

[Rickenslacker]

It's part of the charm of GB. All of them have wildly varying tastes, you just need to stick with the member whose opinion on games aligns closest with yours.

Spoiler

It's just a shame none of them have any balls to stand up against Jeff.

I was surprised how into SUPERHOT Jeff was during the GOTY deliberations. I mean, I thought it was good, but it was also pretty shallow and gave the impression of thinking it was being a lot more clever than it actually was, so I thought Jeff wouldn't have had such a boner for it. Dan ended up sharing my sentiments.

What Yakuza game are they starting with tomorrow? 0?

He's trying to trick them into bringing back TNT.

Yes

Hey, let me know if that works for you. Same deal with my Roku 3. The video/audio sync gets way off first it was just GBeast content and now West is off too since they switched to 1080p. I think This is the Run 7 was the last video that played right for me from GBEast.

Roku Ultra fixed the problem. Disappointing but I didn't mind too much upgrading.

Are you playing them at the highest quality? It might be because their HD quality setting is now 1080p instead of 720p (which it was previously). Their 1080p videos are unplayable on a Compute Stick I was using to stream GB video content previously, so it might be a similar issue with your thing. The jump to 1080p is the only change I know of so that'd be my guess...

The resolution change was definitely the problem, and it looks like it affected GBwest too. Ultra fixed the problem, I'll be selling the 3 to offset the cost

Yes

Ahh man, my copy just arrived the other day. I want to watch but I don't want to be spoiled. Thankfully it's a weekly feature so I technically could play along.

You know what's super good? Solo GB videos.
You know what else is super good? Watching someone click menus.

I'll bring it back once Im hired

Also, Solo Queue is basically the new NintenDownload Xpress.

regardless of the quality of it, the Westt doing a feature that's literally them waiting for a multiplayer lobby to fill up is bordering self-parody

Jeff at least has done stuff like Ranking of Fighters and Game Tapes

It's not quite Dan's output, but it's at least more creative than Brad's typical "hey I feel like playing this game so I'm gonna do it as a premium show"

 

[Aarglefarg]

I'd watch Brad do a shoe-making stream.

 

[kingofthedead45]

I'd watch Brad do a shoe-making stream.

What about a brad leaving giantbomb stream?

I bet he was the one who put together that Dan leaving to new York bit. 🤔Brad is a genius🤔

I'm ready for more brad plays dead rising actually. The last two were very enjoyable.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I'm hoping they play through the whole game, since it's not that long at all. The "Brad butchers a video game while Drew and Rorie shoot the shit" dynamic is great.

I mean that stream did start off as a joke idea that only happened because people wanted it.

"well you fuckers wanted it"

Solo Queue is fascinating, even if not super exciting to watch.

I'm really curious if the devs making this stuff are aiming for Rocket League-tier success, or just have blind faith in their product. It's crazy to think about all the work going into these games for what the result is (not even in terms of quality or anything, just reception). Like, minus Umbrella Corp, they're not even a week old.


...And now there's a DONTNOD subsidiary's game. Oh, the humanity!

 

[EdReedFan20]

I'd watch Brad do a shoe-making stream.

I've said this before, but, despite people being way down on it, I'd really like to see Brad do at least one stream where he and the chat make a Doom map in SnapMap and then he (and those that want to) test it out in deathmatch. It could be structured like Giant Bomb Makes Mario, in which the chat votes of the theme (2016, Doom Classic, etc) or the style of game (deathmatch, team deathmatch, etc).

Jeff says he would replace all of his body parts with machinery if he could, including replacing his legs with treads.

I literally laughed out loud at this, in bed, because of its accuracy. Thank you.

Piratebot reaction from Jeff was spot on.
