Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
If I don't watch UPF I can pretend Drew is still there, behind the camera.
but you promised not to!! now the result is your fault!
I fucked up bruh..
Hey guys,
I'm kinda new to GB, so i don't know the dudes that well, and with this talks of the likelyhood of someone leaving, Vinny always comes up because he seems to have a lot more interests and talents.
What exactly does he do besides GB? I only know he plays guitar and does some woodwork, right?

I feel like Vinny is probably quite invested in making something of GBEast. They're slowly building up their crew and doing a great job.
That's nice. Amazon screwed my order too, but they're granting me a price mistake so I'm getting it for 180. Therefore I can wait a bit longer.

I totally get all the complaints about the Switch, but I like the hardware. I don't really do a ton of online stuff, and I don't use cloud saves much so it's not a big deal for me. And the hardware feels great and has a nice build quality. There's a lot of problems with the Switch, but Zelda really does smooth everything out, and a lot of the problems are fixable. I think by September a lot of this shit should be ironed out.
That's good to hear. His criticisms are completely valid, but for me the durability and shit hasn't been a problem. I get what he means about avoiding combat because you don't wanna waste good weapons, but I've found that once you start exploring the deeper areas, enemies have much better weapons all the time. Like aside from a Korok leaf and a fire rod none of my weapons have below 12 attack, and I'm not that far in. And that's more than enough for me.
Yeah the first time I saw that I lost my mind. Especially because

when it came out of the water a huge lightning storm started happening and the lizalfos I was fighting got electrocuted.
Also, I'm not sure what to do, but there's a in the tropical region that eventually needs something from the dragon to proceed. Not sure how to do that

Dang. It's been a bummer how poor Amazon's service has been, but they've certainly made things right. Though, I suppose they can do these things since most people probably don't call or contact support for compensation.
Edit: Huh my shipment was updated to deliver today.
It's ever since they started using their own courier that things have gotten fucked up. The one good side is their couriers deliver on Sunday
Also if you haven't, make sure you get the climbing bandana in Zelda. Helps things so much

I did it using the maze. Took a few tries.
I did try the other way but it seemed trickier.
Same I didn't think it was that bad. Everyone's complaining about the motion control puzzles but I like them.

Listening to an old Bombcast (07-13-10) and man... WiiWare/DSiWare was the best Bombcast segment.
He's into disaster prep, so he has his bug-out bags ready to rock. It's also apparently why he's trying to get a ham radio license. He worked at a roller rink in his younger days and those stories are always great. Also, if you're planning to back at all and listen to older bombcast episodes, new-dad stories from around the time his son was born are a hoot, as well as the story about his plumbing problems when his house was being prepared.
Vinny is great.
I always liked the Nintendownload Xpress that had Ryan as a guest host.
You could have tilted the whole map in a way to reach the end immediately when the ball response too

Grass is always greener etc. but after watching all these Zelda streams I wish I was playing that instead of Horizon. Although I'm still in the tutorial, I hear it gets a lot better when it opens up. Just no way I'm picking up a console for a single game, I don't play through many games in a given year anyways.

Been rewatching the Phantasmagoria 2 videos today and I really think its time to bring back FMVinny. They just have so much fun with them!
They did play Noctropolis recently.

I guess I kind of mean as a proper series but you're right, I'd already forgotten about that one!
I played the first couple of hours of Horizon last night and am enjoying it so far. Wasn't really planning on picking it up so soon but when I saw how awesome Zelda looked and couldn't find a Switch without a preorder I needed something new to play.
I've also been working my way through Breaking Bad: Demon's Souls again. Brad and Vinny is one of my all-time favorite GB duos. It was great to see Brad back in normal form on UPF last week. What a guy.

They were honestly some of my least favorite features on the site, but Noctropolis was pretty good so I wouldn't mind. They just seem to drag on and on sometimes with absolutely nothing happening.

Really? Phantasmagoria 1 was some of the best Giant Bomb stuff, the second was pretty good as well. As long as they keep a FAQ nearby so they don't get completely stuck it tends to be pretty good.
That's weird. I disliked Noctropolis, but stuff like Phantasmagoria, Contradiction, Police Quest: SWAT and Emergency Room were fantastic.

I might have to rewatch Contradiction after this as well. I've found the new Zelda is a good game to play while I'm rewatching old GB videos!
It just reminds me of the fucking travesty that is the lack of eShop music on the Switch. I wish someone would ask Nintendo about that, that needs to be patched in asap. Wii eshop music was so damn good
I think Contradiction is in a category of it's own, just because its more modern, but I felt like a lot of them had stretches of them trying to figure out a puzzle or what to do next but not wanting to refer to a FAQ too quickly. I can't really think of many examples but I know I didn't end up watching a lot of random PC games because I thought they'd be kinda boring

Picked up Dragon Age Inquisition goty for £11 in the EA sale based off nice things Rorie said. Hope it's what I'm looking for.

I've got the same. I have one set aside for me and everything. I'm so close to biting the bullet. So close.

I'd forgotten about the insane puzzle at the end of Phantasmagoria 2. I just cant get my head around how anyone was ever supposed to work that out on their own???
Finally watched that long ass Jonathan Blow The Witness video after I've now finished the game. I have to go back, though, because I apparently missed quite a bit.
edit: Vinny worked on this for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miZxYjqqjZM
One of my favs.
He had a video career before he even worked for Gamespot. I think people tend to think he could land a better paying job if he wanted to. Especially because he bought a house and has kids now. But honestly, he would've done that already and not build GB East. Vinny is safe!
