[Bacon]

I feel like you gotta break up UPF into two tiers: From the beginning though 2014ish it was A tier, from 2015 on it's been D/F tier

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Flight Club numba 1

 

[Liquid Shake]

No mention of This is the Run? What an absolute outrage!

 

[Kassu]

Backflips 'n BioForge > everything else

 

[TraBuch]

Random PC Game is 100% S-tier. Some of that falls into the anything with Vinny and FMV games category, but even the non-FMV games were GOAT content.

 

[Harpuia]

Yeah Project B.E.A.S.T, Vinny's Castlevania runs, and MGScanlon are probably up there with the endurance run (P4 and Deadly Premonition) for best features

 

[danm999]

Dave and Vinny murdering that old lady with a grenade in Police Quest SWAT is an evergreen moment.

I'd put Mario Party Party in S-tier but otherwise I agree.

Agreed. Phantasmagoria and Blade Runner are probably my 2 favorite video series' on the site.

[kiguel182]

I like Dota and I welcome a Dota feature. Not every feature is for everyone. It's fine.

Well, as long as Jeff is there because I want Jeff to learn how Dota actually plays. Altought he might hate it so much that it sucks.

I should go back to playing Dota.

 

[TraBuch]

Flight Club is at least A-tier.

 

[Giganteus]

I'm hoping Jeff is the twist in this, it will be the only thing that makes it exciting for me as a guy who knows fuck all about Dota. I don't care for MOBAS so yeah.

Jeff getting in on it would be neat. For me, I don't mind that it's a MOBA and I know little about it.

I do care that they've shown this same game a lot over the years, so I do hope there is a gimmick. Just literally doing the same thing that they've done over several years would be weird to me, because they've been consistently creative and thoughtful about new stuff in the past.

 

[wild_fire987]

I haven't seen any quick looks (outside Star Trek) for the past 2 weeks. Anyone got a suggestion for one to watch?

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I guess, but it was easier to just average it out to a C.

No mention of This is the Run? What an absolute outrage!

It'd be weird putting something that only has two videos on the list.

 

[OdysseusVA]

C for Chill?

Eh? Eh? Ehhhhhh?

 

[MassiveNights]

Project Beast was better than MGS apart from one and a half seasons.

 

[Human Trashcan]

Any feature that involves adventure games and/or FMV > all else

This is correct. Really all the one-off GB East playthroughs of shorter games that weren't part of a (intended) series were terrific

Demo Derby was the best until Drew and Dan left and now it's fucking boring, like most things West does

 

[Basileus777]

The Fire Pro World unfinished is good.

Same here!

Wait so where does that gif of Majima and Kiryu dancing together come from? Spoiler tag if you need to

isnt is a minigame

 

[dhlt25]

I missed Dave playing old PC games, that feature was the one that convinced me to finally subscribed.

 

[Teddified]

Brad's Shrink Shack - Brad opens one of his many still unopened games and plays it for a bit and decides at the end if he wants to continue it or move to another unopened game.

 

[AuthenticM]

yeah, I'd like to know this as well.

 

[Curufinwe]

Dota... wow

 

[Ashby]

How's this GBExWaypoint PUBG stream?

Austin killed a guy with a crossbow and we got vinny going rambo.

So it's p. good.

 

[Glass Shark]

this feature won't work, Brad doesn't play games

[MassiveNights]

The only good thing about Thank God It's FriDota is that it can't last more than three hours

 

[Slamtastic]

Watching the Gigantic Quick Look right now:

Why can't anyone make one of these games that has good melee feel?

I guess the problem would be you would need the enemy to actually be hitstunned, and people would cry about being comboed.

Don't like the camera, but hopefully that's just from being mouse controlled and on Xbox it would be smoother.

Nice artstyle and a few good designs though.

 

[xuchu]

How's this GBExWaypoint PUBG stream?

It was pretty good. Boat convoy was great.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Waypoint's PUBG content >>> murder island honestly.

 

[Teddified]

Need more Roleplay in murder island.

 

[Ashby]

Need more Roleplay in murder island.

Jeff and Brad would never stand for that.

 

[Jothel]

yeah, I'd like to know this as well.

I'd always assumed you teamed up somewhere along the way and then did a celebratory dance or something

... barely anything in my S-Tier is viable anymore

 

[Lari]

I like most playthrough features. Those tend to showcase the game better and leave more room for weird side talk to happen.

The Endurance Runs, Vinnyvania, This is The Run, Blue Bombin' and now Steal My Sunshine are my faves.
Can't even bring myself to watch UPF.

These are my room temperature takes.

Though to be fair, if you told me just 2 years ago i'd enjoy watching people playing video games i'd call you crazy yet here I am.

 

[Ashby]

Getting pretty hyped for Splatoon 2 all of a sudden

It's p. fun.

 

[Salarians]

Fortnite is actually a game and it's being released

I can hardly believe it

 

[Dangansona]

Animorphs is fucking legit. Not alot of people realize that the premise of Animorphs is that theyre basically child soldiers that were recruited to fight another species' war.

It also has the best ending in any series ever IMO.

Can you spoil it for me and say why it was go good?

 

[Blitzrules240]

I can't get behind the concept.

I like the art style tho.
