Man Dave Lang is the best. I love listening to him telling stories. He should do a podcast.

 

[John Rabbit]

guys the windjammers thing is a joke. watch spleunkin' with scoops from today.

Spoiler

believe.

 

[close to the edge]

That stream was pretty great. First Spelunkin' I've watched live. Dave Lang needs to be in more Giant Bomb stuff. The TNT where he was talking about the games he developed was pretty awesome.

 

[mattiewheels]

I think Dave Lang's proven that there doesn't need to be a difference between "just an office joke" and "an actual product that's released for sale."

For a second I thought he was the guy who wanted to do that John Drake tracker, too. Then things would be getting ridiculous, ha.

 

[justjim89]

Christ I hope they were joking. They've already ran Windjammers into the ground. If they actually make this it'll get old quicker than Dive Kick.

 

[Chuck]

I think I like "Early Look" more than "Unfinished" but it's too late. They've already named something. v_v

they were joking, but you should be ashamed

I love that Jeff is legitimately knowledgeable about demolition derbies.

you know what's crazy? this is an example of JEFF telling DREW about a crazy weekend activity he took part in

it's like opposite day

 

[Infinite Justice]

this is my last day with the premium crew

I guess UPF will be a nice gift until I can return.

I don't care about that, I want to play it.

My problem with "Unfinished" is that they say this could include preview coverage.

Jeff sometimes gets asked about upcoming Quick Looks on tumblr and he often talks about ridiculous embargos. They have the full finished version of a game on hand, but they won't shoot a QL before the publisher allows for more than 5 minutes or whatever.

If they shoot those videos now, they'll be doing "Unfinished" videos on games that are actually totally finished.

 

[Strax]

So a nominee for worst trend in 2013 gets its own series in 2014

-_-

To be fair they clarified that it was mostly how Steam sorted those games into new releases. And calling them Unfinished does sort it on their end.

Having a new feature called Unfinished doesn't nullifies the embargo. They will still avoid games that are limited to 5 min of footage pre-release.

What that changes now is that they will be able to do actual preview coverage. IE when a publisher comes in 2-3 months before a game is a out with a preview build of the game (a preview build is not the final version of the game) to show it off.

In the past they would just skip that because there was not much reason to show it off. Now they actually have a vehicle for that stuff.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Not going to lie but when Dave Lang talked about active frame and hit boxes, it makes me feel like he has knowledge of fighters. I wonder what his favorite fighting game is.

 

[Megasoum]

Also for anybody that didn't have a chance to watch the Spelunky video, Dave Lang was clearly kidding when he was talking about Windjammer.

 

[XANDER CAGE]

A remake would be too risky, I just want Windjammers available on PC/PS4 or something so it can be played drunk alongside Samurai Gunn and Nidhogg.

 

[SummitAve]

What?? Of course he does.

 

[Deadstar]

I just resubbed for breaking brad demon's souls. Too good to resist.

Worth it.

 

[Khezu]

His studio worked on Divekick, Street Fighter 3 Online Edition, Marvel vs Capcom Origins, and Darkstalkers resurrection.

Really is. The Dark Lord's insight is fantastic

Wise move.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Vinny's trolling in that first ep is almost making me to say fuck it and do another sub but I have to remain strong.

 

[Jintor]

Really is. The Dark Lord's insight is fantastic

That subtle mix of trolling and helpful information. Glorious

 

[def sim]

I noticed that Brad is playing some Viva Pinata. Maybe we'll see some of that on UPF.

 

[Xater]

Oh no. It's a pretty boring game to watch IMO.

 

[def sim]

Oh no. It's a pretty boring game to watch IMO.

It really is. We'll probably see some trading cards or whatevs after they talk about the game for a bit.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I hate how Patrick passes off him making a smart move in Dark Souls as him not looking at the chat.

That subtle mix of trolling and helpful information. Glorious

As someone who hasn't played Demon Souls, I am right there with Brad on trying to decipher when he's helping or bullshitting, and the chat is equally full of people trolling so I never had any idea what to expect lol.

 

[Infinite Justice]

everyone looks grizzled lol

 

[The Grim Heaper]

He just started Viva Pinata as well, so it's gonna be a pretty long segment...

I love Viva Pinata though.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

everyone looks grizzled lol

They're still getting over Ian's departure

 

[Tan]

I didn't know this game was on PC.

 

[pax217]

I hope Vinny's on later...?

 

[Phatmac]

FUCK YEAH, VIVA PINATA!

 

[An-Det]

No Vinny?

I didn't know this game was on PC.

In a few months it'll be like it never was to begin with

 

[pax217]

No Vinny?

I'd guess that with Ian out, he's in the control room.

EDIT: Yes.

 

[Xater]

I didn't know this game was on PC.

Me neither.

Man I hope they won't play it too long. It's an alright game but not interesting to see like this.

 

[Fotheringay]

Me neither.

Man I hope they won't plat it too long. It's an alright game but not interesting to see like this.

So typical Brad segment? He needs to steal Drew's idea of searching Desura for the most bizarre shit.

Vinny is too good.

 

[pax217]

What does GAF say her accent is?

 

[justjim89]

Never played Viva Pinata. Is Brad playing it on PC?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

I didn't know this game was on PC.

It was only available through GFWL, if I recall correctly?

 

[Xater]

SEX

Well at lest Vinny is trying to make it entertaining.

 

[def sim]

This segment is alright.

 

[Infinite Justice]

They're still getting over Ian's departure

Good luck to him at his new endeavor.



And Vinny killing it in the control room.

 

[SlowRevolution]

viva pinata is way different than I expected it to be.

 

[Keyser Soze]

What does GAF say her accent is?

I am a bit behind, so I don't know if they already found out, but that is a Dublin accent trying to sound kiddy. However, is seems a bit off...

Did a small bit of checking on Linkedin (http://uk.linkedin.com/in/louridge) and a woman doing the voice grew up Ireland, studied in Dublin, but has worked in England for the past few years.

So, it is mock kiddy Dubliner with UK hints!
