I imagine that if there's one console Jeff doesn't own that many games for, it's the N64. He's never been too big on that console. But yeah, it's strange if it's not in the GS library. Jeff has probably destroyed all copies of Mario Party games he could find.

Oh, good call! I really miss having a Random button on the site, even though it was pretty useless because half the time it would be a trailer.
Ryan was also perceived as not being very consumer friendly with a lot of his views, so I remember some of his comments on companies that were seen as doing shitty things blowing up from time to time. Not sure if that happened in any QL though, or just on Bombcasts.
As for controversial QLs, look no further than most QLs of Nintendo games where Jeff sits in
Oh man, the SoC QL. How could I forget.
Yeah, as much hate as Dan has gotten over the last day or so, I don't think its far from some of the meltdowns we've seen over things Jeff/Brad have said in the past. Its not at Alex or definitely not at Patrick levels of hatred. At least I don't think theres been a petition or a "NoDan" add on just yet.
Dude that's fucking awesome. I not sure what the state of the Youtube API is, but have you considered added the GB Unarchived channel as a section?
Unfortunately, there probably won't be an iOS release out of me for a while (although I'd happily take one as a contribution -- I own luchadeer-project.com and it wouldn't be terrible to throw some more apps under the umbrella).
I'll add the random QL button as a feature request for a future release. It would be awesome to have.
Using commercially available sous vide machines? No, they can't handle that much water volume. After VinnCo enters the market? Of course you'll be able to.
Yeap, I was planning on asking the folks who make that if I could add them as a section but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I know they're in this thread so... please?
So, you guys probably recall the 'New Releases' show they did with GS, right? I remember after they canned that, they were thinking about a new feature to fill a weekly Wednesday spot but nothing ever materialised.
The type of feature on GB that I arguably love the most is them looking at older games whether it's retro streams or QLs of retro compilations/rereleases (obligatory "RIP Game Room"), Bombasticas, whathaveyou. I love listening to Jeff especially but now that Dan's there, he would add a lot of insight of his own. Also, older games have sparked some of the best and most infamous Bombcast discussions but they've stopped listing off new releases (which included rereleases, i.e. Nintendownloads, XBLA stuff) in the podcast a while ago, obviously.
So, I thought it'd be cool if they did something like a retro wrap-up show. And 'show' is already the wrong term since I wouldn't want any kind of editing or fancy presentation, just them going through every week's Virtual Console and PSN retro rereleases (Xbone and Steam, too, if something were to show up there) and, well, basically QL'ing those games, maybe dedicating 5-10 minutes to each one. Personally, I'd love this kind of feature and I think it'd be very entertaining.
Just spitballing here. Now that I think about it, I'd love to hear Jeff's thoughts on their current content plans. I imagine a LOT of ideas were left behind on the cutting room floor so I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they had considered a show along the lines of my pitch ages ago.
Yep, Tharp suggested this to me and I think this would work just as well, if not better.

That cold be a lot of fun. Jeff always made the Game Room quick looks entertaining, even when the games were the worst.
I'd like to see more than one regular feature at a time really. Even with Dan bringing in new ideas, the MGS series seemed to kill off WOW early (It only went for 3 weeks unless I'm remembering wrong) and the Mario Party thing is still a one-off for now.
I love this idea.
I mean, the WoW feature was called 30 Day Trial and we got 4 weeks out of it - Dan's 30 day trial of WoW. It went on probably as long as it was always intended to. If MGS stopped anything, it was more regular Demo Derby videos.
I only remembered 3 episodes. Went back and checked, you're definitely right. Not sure if it was uneventful or if I have an episode I missed to go catch.
Yep, they had a series this weekend. League of Legends is still alive.

it didn't though since the WOW video feature was always gonna be a timed thing and it ended.
the video that makes more sense is the Demo Derby one where they have done only 2 but they apparently have demo discs incoming.
They played very recently and won so the dream is still alive.

They beat Team Generic 2-0 in a best of three a few days ago. From what I saw, Crispy ran riot (games?) with Kessler having strong showings too.

Just put out a request on Twitter or on the Bombcast. I'm sure someone will send in a copy of Mario Party 2.
In fact, I'd bet someone's sending it in as we speak.

Subete no aware
That one in particular was because it came right after the ER, so there was just some extreme hype for it and the desperate hope that they would play through P3P as a second ER. lol
I still find it weird that he just never met with the Retronauts guys, since he clearly fills some gaps that those guys can't cover due to lack of experience.

Is there a video of this ? People keep saying Alexis stole that truck but I doubt that's what happened.
That fucking SotC Quick Look, what a mess that was...
I don't think there was a video. I think they mentioned on the latest UPF that it was the Octobercast weekend and Alexis was drinking a lot. I believe Drew took the picture

It was on one of the Tested streams a while back. No video, but drunk Drew and Alexis talked about it, and then Drew slapped Alexis a couple times.
No, there isn't. Look up their segment on last year's Tested Octobercast, they tell the story of that night.
He is just sitting in it. Those types of cabs don't even have doors.

Alex is my Giant Bomber Of The Week™ after his performance on Bombin. Some solid responses to the Hit Based Journalism and Destiny 20+ Hours questions. Guy does not get a whole lot of credit at times, but he is right up there with Jeff when it comes to not sugarcoating things that need to be said.
Alex is great for stuff like that. I miss that weekly article series he did, his writing is usually pretty good. Too bad it's mostly relegated to reviews for sports games and a lot of stuff I just don't have any interest in.

Sometimes I think alex is the only reason I'll subcribe again (and vinny, and patrick, and sometimes even jeff). It's our only constant hope now that we are in the dumb-dumd era of GB.

I am still angry how badly NHL 15 turned out.

I hope we get an Forza Horizon 2 demo quick look. I don't have an Xbox1 but that game looks right up my alley.
When I heard Tyler Bozak was an 87 and that you couldn't edit players, my interest in the game dropped significantly.
This is mesmerizing.
alr1ght is the dude who set that up and organised the effort. Can't imagine him having issues with you parsing the channel.

Nah they just had this photo at the Octobercast. They were totally drunk though.

Oh MAN, the fanboys that franchise had back then were pirhanas.
And this is what happens when Drew gets into those Appletinis.

First Premium vid of the week on Tuesday + return of Beast.
It could be so much worse. :3
MGS in 8 hours! Oh, and also the first Vinny/Alex QL is a few weeks too with NHL 15

Woo!
I saw the Flyers ratings and they were a joke. Some way too low and some way too high, seemingly at random.
