Not really. He's in the hire announcement podcast, popped in for one game of Lethal League a couple UPFs ago but outside of occasionally pointing things out in QLs from the video room, he hasn't had any sort of a video presence on the site yet.

I can't tell if Drew is bad at Elite or if the game's UI is just fucked.
Sounds great. Maybe if they finish all the PSX discs they can move on to the PC Gamer ones, I'm sure someone's got a trove of those stashed somewhere. Think some might have even been sent into their offices already in an mailbox video.

Jason "Eagle Eyes" Oestreicher sees all - especially during quick looks. He's a very bold control roomer, always leaping into action when they're lost... or when they miss something.
Case in point: Unfinished: The Forest.

Favorite Jason moment so far is during Jet Gunner where he sarcastically mentions the name of the game when Dan gets stuck.

I still have a big ol stack of those somewhere. Those black discs will never stop looking cool. Should dig them out, shove them into my PS3 and see what happens. Demo one better be in there somewhere...

I'd love them to work their way through various system's demos. I hope they can get Jeff on some of them since his deep knowledge would come in handy for obscure games.
Awesome! That's sooner that i expected.

Why did it take Patrick two months to post an article based on an E3 interview?
This is the best!

Thank you!
Thank you!
I now have all of Giant Bomb's Twitch content from 2011 saved locally.
45 videos.
33 GB.
Although...I think something might be up with this method, how does this batch end up being 33 GB exactly AGAIN? I will work to resolve this.
I'm doing 2012 right now.
Well I mean, GB does release and record content on a pretty regularly set schedule.
I doubt it's EXACTLY 33 GB, I'd imagine it's just that both are between 33 and 34GB, and one GB of compressed Twitch video data can hold a pretty big amount of content to make up any discrepancy.

Man good times for first person puzzling. Naissance earlier this year, then Only If a couple days ago, now I'm seeing Mind: Path of Thalamos and it looks great as well. And of course, The Witness is also coming up.
Super interesting projects, all with a personal authorial note, made by very small teams.

Hell yes. They're bound to come across Ore no Ryouri at some point if they have Underground discs.
Collusion.
When I re-encoded the 24hr Drew/Dan/Alexis stream, I think I remember the Twitch files being CBR encoded - but that doesn't really explain why the differing amount of videos would equal the same size.
So I guess it's either a) a coincidence or b) Twitch had a disk space limit per channel per year in 2010/11 (which would explain why some old Giant Bomb twitch archives don't work). It would also explain why 33GB sounds low for a year's worth of content (the 24hr archive I downloaded was 50GB+ at Live quality). Are you downloading the 480p's or Live?
Anyone know if Harry's Razors are sponsor of anything on Giant Bomb? I was listening to DLC, I believe, and they had an add for them. I found it ironic since they put up a blog post several months ago where some "hip cool omg chick girl" basically called men dumb and unattractive if they play video games. I felt like my IQ dropped about 50 points after reading it. I just looked and can't the post anymore so I guess the rightfully removed it. Here is the url anyway, http://fiveoclock.harrys.com/post/79/ask-a-lady-he-got-game

How do I download "Live" versions of videos from Twitch? I'm using JDownloader and I just get one option per video URL, I believe. Some videos download at a small res (could be 480p), whilst others download at what appears to be 720p. Seems like the newer the video, the bigger the res.
http://www.twitchtools.com/video-download.php and enter the stream URL in the box. After it loads all the segments, click the 'Live' button to switch to the higher quality links. Also click 'View as Text' so you can just dump the direct links into Jdownloader.
Not sure if the Live option will be available for all videos, as it might be date dependant.

Dan's eye glass story was something else. Like legit disturbing. If I was really high when I heard that I would probably start freaking out.

Ah, I knew about that tool but didn't know about the text stuff. I will do some mucking around over the weekend. Thanks.
Just using JD lets me dump dozens of video URLs into a single download queue at once. Twitch Tools is rather more manual.
Earlier in the thread there was a kind soul offering to write a Linux script to cycle through stream urls and get all the segment links via the Twitch API. Maybe if you send him all the stream URLs, he can get the Live quality download links?

I hope they also watch all the trailers, including weird stuff like PlayStation Underground or whatever it was called.
I remember almost having nightmares because of that Parasite Eve trailer that came on my PS1 demo disc.

For the last year or so, yeah.
it made me preorder a game for the very first time.
Oh my handpalms and relationship with friends know all too well. I stopped after Mario Party 3, I wonder how good the current games are.

That's a fantastic idea for a series. Also Drew and Dan are establishing one heck of a good team after only working together for a month.

Dan's new premium series sounds like it's going to be great. And it starts tomorrow!

The day Patrick earned my respect is when he stood against Jeff's heretical opinion that 2&4>1&3. Hopefully Ryckert also believes in the correct hierarchy.
