I don't know why they're so dismissive about Kingdom Hearts. I mean shitty stories and shitty titles hasn't stopped them before.

Probably because the Kingdom Hearts games (perhaps excluding 1) are horrendously bad.

They're not though? Outside of the weirdo story and character designs, they're probably the one of the few series S-E has left that tries to expand and evolve a fun gameplay style.
I'm already feeling slightly nauseous at how dismissive they will be about it, not to mention how nauseous I am already feeling at the chance that they will in fact not do such a QL because they've been nauseatingly sluggish at finding a direct video feed GBA console.

Don't come in here and try to tell me what's not bad. I played NeverDead and liked it!
I honestly just couldn't bring myself to enjoy anything about the KH games after 1. I think it was much more to do with the "story" stuff, but I did a complete 180 on the series very quickly.

There's more to videogames than story and characters??

Fair enough calling the stories bad (I love them but I know the story is horrible) but the games themselves (outside of 358/2 or whatever) are all good games. Fun to play, bright and colourful graphics, good music and each game mixes up enough elements to not get stale while still being what you expect. They are fun Action RPG games just with Final Fantasy/Disney characters and a crazy confusing plot.

That may be so but it's not like there's anything else out recently.
I'd take literally any content over no content.

I'm sure they'll do a regular Quick Look for it, as well. They'll probably even play it for TNT considering how well loved Persona 4 is amongst the Giant Bomb Community.
Have they ever done both an EX and a regular QL for a game?

I expect that as soon as they get to the story stuff, Jeff and Vinny will be all excited and then they'll see the moving mouths and see Charlie named "Yu Narukami" and hear him talk and they'll never stop screaming

Have you played any of the games outside 1? As games, tell me how they're so horrendously bad compared to the first.

Ooooo I would love a TnT, but the xbox version has some pretty bad network issues right? Might want to wait till those are fixed.
Catherine I think.

Off the top of my head, Skullgirls, but yeah, the EX Quick Look was of an earlier version of the game a few months prior to its full release.
Edit: Portal 2 got a Quick Look EX prior to its release. Again, the "Quick Look" the next week was apart of their "Shrink Wrap Tuesday" promotion alongside Mortal Kombat and SOCOM 4, though.
So yeah, maybe Persona 4 won't get another quick look. But with how dry these last few weeks have been, I wouldn't be surprised if they make an exception...especially considering how much Jeff and Vinny love Persona 4.

It lay more in the backtracking aspect for me. I am fully aware that is nothing new in games or KH, but I just grew tired of it so fast I couldn't stand it. Locations and teammates weren't working for me, gummi ships got even more trying, and everything felt like a down grade in 2. I only played Chain of Memories a few times, but I could not get into it at all. Neither the battle system or revisiting places got me to care. Also, that user interface in 1/2 is annoying as heck, haha. I don't know if it was more that 1 was something new that made me enjoy it more than the others I played, but I just found myself having fun more often than not.
Horrendously bad is probably too harsh, but I can't stand that franchise. I tried going back to it last year, in hopes that my opinions might change, but I found myself disliking it even more than my first time with it.
SSX is another, however there was some time between videos.
I hope they do JC2 MP TNT
They can't. It was only in public beta for 24 hours.
As far as I know, at least.

aww, I hope not. I bet that would be a great game for TNT.
I wonder if they remembered to change out the video card on that computer like they said they wanted to last week?
So basically you hate the newer games for things that aren't even in the newer games.
Backtracking, gummi ships, annoying/poor menu design, and shit combat have all be completely removed from the past few games. The current KH games are top of the line action RPGs.
Typographenia

Pretty much.
I don't get it either.
Who knows? Maybe this will be the game that makes me care again?

I didn't see them with any camera setups on Saturday, so probably not.

I bet they do just cause 2 multiplayer for TNT. Well, they should.

I seem to recall that somewhere they said that they feel that they've pretty much covered all the aspects of California Extreme over the past couple of years, so there wouldn't really be much to gain by filming more stuff this year.
It's not something like E3 or PAX where you have multiple new games and stuff to show off.

I just want to know how many cabinets Jeff bought, and, more importantly, how they transported them back.
Oh no. I just realized that his whole "I'm gonna clean this place up a little" thing was just to make room for cabinets. Oh, Jeff. : (

I hear Dave has a truck and is willing to travel long distances for people in need of a truck in exchange for street dance lessons.
He said on Twitter that he "didn't spend a lot" which I assume to mean he didn't buy anything.

if the P4A ql is with Aram jabbari then it will be good. he knows how to have fun(some of the stuff he did with the game informer guys is pretty good)
Also im sure there will be a lengthy CAX segment on the bombcast.
Kingdom Hearts:BBS was really good, plus 3D has TWEWTY

It's Jeff. Who knows what he thinks isn't 'a lot'.

He said in the I love Mondays he still had his spending money, so probably didn't buy any cabinets.

Its only a matter of time. I can smell the money burning a hole in his wallet from here
Not a cabinet, but certainly something stupid

There didn't appear to be a ton of stuff for sale at this year's show just going by the number of cabinets that had for sale stickers on, unless he managed to make some deals for stuff not on the floor.

Yup, I'd imagine that money is already spent in the eyes of Jeff.

I would assume he at least got the monitor he wanted.
Or he will actually go for the LCD instead.

I watched my wife play KH 1 and finished 2 after she gave up on it, and 2 seemed a lot better. The camera in 1 was awful.

That's a great .gif.
So psyched for this week's episode b/c of their CAX attendance.
