The best thing about the MGS2 demo is that is was the biggest part of the elaborate bait-and-switch that the game is most famous for. I'm not sure if we could still do something like that any more with how connected the world is and how often stuff leaks.

 

[A Serious Man]

My personal greatest demo of all time:



Biohazard 4. This game was:

1. My first Japanese import game
2. My first INTERNET PURCHASE (begged my dad to let me use his credit card)

I also purchased a Gamecube Action Replay in order to play import discs. That's a lot of work for a demo, huh?

Well, it was fucking worth it. It consisted of arguably the best part of one of the greatest games of all time (the intro/village sequence of Resident Evil 4). I must have played through that demo at least 50 times. If you collected 30,000 ptas (not easy), you unlocked an Uzi, which was AWESOME. I used action replay codes to turn off the timer, and I'd just run around the empty village looking at stuff.

So, so good.

You stole my memories. First "game" I ever imported and I bought an GCN Action Replay just for it. I must've put at least 30 hours into that demo. Crazy part was that it and the final game actually lived up to the hype.


The other great demo that comes to mind is the THPS2 demo on PS1. I would zone out and day dream while I skated around Marseille. Lord only knows how much time I spent playing that demo.

Didn't watch last weeks episode so had two in row now, so good stuff, great themes and of course entertainment.
The Sonic SEGA Boss saying 'What?! Make sure this never happens again.' seriously cracked me up, fabulous.

I don't think this was leaked, I had NO idea (last of us spoilers ahead)

Spoiler

that you'd play as Joel's daughter in the intro scene and later in the game you play as Ellie

. So I guess it can still happen from time to time. But definitely harder than MGS2 days. I agree with you there.

 

[Zukuu]

I also remember buying games for the FF 8 (video) and FF 10 demo respectively.

 

[PaulloDEC]

Ain't no party like a Bosman party.

 

[Cubed]

RE5 stands out to me. It had me really excited for the full version because while it was definitely action-heavy, it still was frantic and a bit creepy. Plus, the graphics were amazing.

I wish Capcom could make a full RE game that made me feel like I did playing the RE5 demo.

 

[Mononoke]

His latest video on Demos was awesome. I actually bought Zone of Enders without knowing it had the demo. But that made its "specialability" stand out for me. I remember being so surprised and happy about playing the Demo for the first time.

On a side note, Kyle has really stepped up his hosting game. He was great in the new The Depths for GTA V.

Also I always love his party gifs.

Skate demo always be fondly remembered.

He is early this week.

 

[sammex]

Another great show this week - it almost has like a Daily Show quality to it.

 

[TimmiT]

Can't help but like this guy. I wish he did a podcast or something.

While I don't watch/listen to it frequently, he's on Gametrailers' podcast Invisible Walls.

 

[Tuck]

Good episode, as usual. Do wish he spent more time on Nintendo though and gave his thoughts on what they should do.

 

[Tripon]

While I don't watch/listen to it frequently, he's on Gametrailers' podcast Invisible Walls.

Invisible Walls just ended. He will be featured in the two new GT shows they're starting up though.

 

[SwiftDeath]

Great episode. Loved his take on the Candy debacle as well

I love Kyles profanity substitutes.

"Oh sorry, I was just talking to my friend...... Mugsy....... Mugs."

That made me cackle like a crazy person.

"Oh sorry, I was just talking to my friend...... Mugsy....... Mugs."

That made me cackle like a crazy person.

At first, I didn't realize he was looking from mug to mug as he said that.

 

[Emarv]

Another great episode. Love the refreshing restraint and honesty he shows with every episode.

Keep up the great work, Kyle.

The bonus bit was amazing. So powerful, it moved my heart.

Bosman spoils the 100% reward for Mario 3d World and Lego Marvel....great episode....the ending is fucking hilarious

RIP Kyle Bosman of present times

 

[ElTorro]

That man is the best.

 

[Valkyr Junkie]

That was amazing.

 

[Tuck]

Ending bit was absolute perfection.

And he made some good points in the main vid.

 

[Zukuu]

Holy sit. When the episode was over at the half mark point of the video. I always look how much time is left for the bonus bits. x) I luv em.

 

[Azure Dream]

That was fantastic. Although blowing the rewards for Lego Marvel and 3D World without warning was a bit much, even for an episode about game secrets.

I'm kind of wondering if the Gears of War comment was a tease or not. Now I'm interested in what he has/had to say on the matter.

 

[AstroNut325]

In the most recent episode (1/29/2014) I have to admit his acting in the bonus segment was pretty impressive.

 

[Majine]

So the end result was that Kyle aged 5 years over the course of an episode? For the sake of the bonus bits?

Spoiler

Net win

 

[Jonnax]

Here's the song that played at the end.

Spoiler

It's totally awesome

[RadioactiveLobster]

I want to know the name of the song that plays in the background in the episode that sounds like bells are ringing. Sounds vaguely christmasy as well.

It's been in a few episodes.

 

[Mariolee]

Holy crap that was amazing.

 

[Linearskillz]

Bonus bit was so good!

 

[Pappasman]

That was, by far, the best bonus bit yet.

 

[Brazil]

That was freaking great, as always, hahaha.

 

[Emarv]

That song at the 5:30 minute mark is great. Anybody know what song that is?

 

[mrklaw]

Anybody having problems getting it to play on an iPad? Tried both from the browser and the GT app.

 

[ricen-beans]

Bonus bit was boss!
