Giant Bomb |OT XXX| Some of my best friends are PC games

If a game has the budget or clout to afford to have marketing at all, much less actual TV commercials with famous people in them, it probably isn't a B game.

I haven't watched the latest episode of Bring Your B Game, but even Force Unleashed is a relatively recent game from one of the best-selling franchises of all time with good review scores, that also had TV commercials.

It's only the second episode and they already broke the feature.

Okay seriously, what does the Giant Bomb crew do all day? It has been 2 days and we are STILL waiting on their 20-minute deep dive analysis + breakdown of the Game of Thrones trailer. What kind of half-assed video game journalism is this?

Giant Thrones episodes are traditionally during E3

 

[The Technomancer]

I really appreciate Vinny making sure to involve Abby even when she's in the booth

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

This is the only Game of Thrones stuff I've watched/listened to. It also happens to be Gaint Bomb cobtent which is why I bothered.

Abby's voice is very pleasant. I like her contribution to streams and QLs and the Beastcast. Getting like ASMR vibes.

Anyways, is Prototype a B game? That would make a fun B game episode.

Alright, this is probably a little too serious for this topic but I'm gonna post it anyway.

Yesterday morning, I posted a vague goodbye fully intending on ending my life. Stress was getting to me and I was kinda freaking out. I pulled a gun on myself and eventually cops were called and I was basically in a standoff for two or so hours. It was actually on the local news, some news douche was Facebook Living the entire thing. Looking back, I'm a fucking idiot and regret what I did. I took two bean bag bullets to my legs and they fucking hurt. I'm currently in a mental health facility, not a hospital or anything, but a house with other people with mental disabilities and counselors. I'm actually not gonna be here too long, only until early next week, because it was just a spur of the moment freakout and not a depression thing that's been going on for years and years. I just read all your posts responding to mine and just wanna say thanks for worrying, it feels good to know that people, even if they're strangers on the internet, actually care.

So yeah, tl;dr, I'm still alive. Thanks for caring. See y'all later.

First, glad you're still with us man. Second, let me or any of us here know if you need anything. Seriously. We might all be jerks but we're still here for you.

Take care.

Good to hear, dude, take care of yourself!

Why would Giant Bomb cover it? It's not on America's most watched network.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Watching the Force Unleashed video, few observations.

-It's not a B game, not by any stretch
-Vinny and the Euphoria engine were made for one another
-I wish Abby were in these features in more than a Voice of God capacity

 

[Invis]

The Darkness II is a great B game.

I didn't post anything before 'cause I couldn't think of the right thing to say, but I'm glad you're OK, TraBuch.

Stay safe, duder!

Abby's "mm-hmm" is legit amazing. It might be the clarity of Beast's producer mic (or maybe their mics in general?), but I can't imagine that kind of response working on West's setup.

 

[Antiwhippy]

See, Compare rabbids talk with the beastcast and Bombcast and it's clear as day. Beast crew hates fun.

Prototype feels like a B game now, but it probably wasn't when it came out. The amount of acceptable jank then was different.

It's not a B game, but after this last episode it's clear that this show isn't actually about playing B games.

 

[Salarians]

is Castlevania Lords of Shadow a B game

 

[Hindl]

Ironically, The Surge is totally a B-game

 

[The Dear Leader]

I don't think The Force Unleashed is a B game at all, the criteria for what they consider a B game is kind of weird, so many obvious B games out there ripe for the picking!

 

[Incandenza]

Some more B-Games:

Genji: Days of the Blade
Auto Modellista
Endless Ocean
Dark Summit
50 Cent: Blood on the Sand
Advent Rising
BloodRayne
RLH: Run Like Hell

 

[buy teh haloz]

Metal Arms is the best B game

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Abby kinda sounds like a younger Alison Brie

and Metal Arms was pretty rad

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Why did they have the switch in the UPF? They thought the arms testpunch was longer than an hour?

 

[Jintor]

vinny using the immense power of the force to fuck around dropping rocks on people is pretty great

 

[MassiveNights]

Why did they have the switch in the UPF? They thought the arms testpunch was longer than an hour?

They recorded a Street Fighter quick look.

[Wunder]

YES

 

[kingofthedead45]

Even though brad doesn't do anything all day

"I like a good witch" cements his place in my giantbomb heart.

I see you brad I see you, I bet you get real festive on Halloween with the misses huh? 😉😉😉

To be fair, Brad is leaving soon anyways

 

[Megasoum]

So I'm watching Aliens for the first time (After watching Alien for the first time last week)...


Yeah...Sure... It's all right...

I imagine those marines are supposed to be super obnoxious by design but holy shit...Well at least there isn't many left now lol


Also I miss Michael Biehn

It's all downhill after that. Somedays I prefer the director's cut and others I prefer the theatrical cut. I miss him too. Also, Bill Paxton.

Yeah... I loooooove Bill Paxton (even if his character is annoying as fuck)...


Now I kinda feel like watching Starship Troopers...

 

[Data West]

cool the next episode of solo queue

 

[Invis]

I was gonna hop on Lagoon for a bit but didnt even bother when I saw 6 people on our server about 10 minutes ago. Granted it is pretty late.

Wish more people played TrackMania in general. Though Nadeo did fuck everyone over by saying they were giving TM2 Lagoon free to anyone who bought Turbo and ended up not doing it. That was one of the reasons I bought Turbo.

Asking the age old question: Is UPF worth watching? Also how was Bring your B-Game?

Haven't finished UPF but B game is a must watch. Surely one, maybe two, Best Of moments in it.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Dan's definition of B games makes no fucking sense.

[The Dear Leader]

How in the hell do you race in a lagoon anyway?

 

[Data West]

fuck nintendo and their bizarre ass one hour testing phases

 

[Invis]

How in the hell do you race in a lagoon anyway?

In a game where you bounce if you hit water at high speeds, anything is possible.

 

[Xeteh]

How in the hell do you race in a lagoon anyway?

By buying the Lagoon Trackmania pack. What are you even asking?

Yeah I'm kinda fiending to play more.

Which seems like a good sign.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Well his friend IS a B game
