The Awesomenauts QL totally sold me on that game, didn't even know it existed.

[rudds]

The trails quick look was great. Apparently brad didn't know about bunny hopping? Is that like a key skill? Loved that ryan got it through most of the first track.

Of course I knew about it -- you can't pass a bunch of the harder levels even prior to that last tier without being able to do it. But I tend to play that game by feel, so I'd never really stopped and thought about the mechanics of what constitutes a "bunny hop" until the QL. Not surprisingly I got a little less clumsy with it after Ryan gave me a lesson.

Yeah, I'm thinking about just buying a 3 month PSN+ membership and get the game for free.

And you guys jumped on me because of:

I am sure he used the bunnyhop all the time without realizing it has a term or whatever, ease down.

I need the redemption, sorry :)

I did the same with Trials on PC, playing by feel, just throwing yourself at the obstacles and then trying to recover but, yeah, at a certain point you hit a wall and I watched some videos online and realized there's a lot more technique to it than might seem at first.

[Dragonzord]

I got Awesomenauts free with PS+.

I thought the game was both awful and incredibly boring, so there's that.

[Myomoto]

Quick Look: Awesomenauts (Ryan/Jeff) (33:42

Is there some massive amount of lag on the tv they're using, or is Ryan just really slowly reacting/lacking of spacial awareness? He was CONSTANTLY getting hit by towers on the backend of a creep push, because he didn't pull out in time :c

Game looks cool though, but I've got Super MNC to satisfy my MOBA needs for now.

Trials endurance run. Won't ruin a story/game for anyone watching, and will be the ultimate test of endurance. *complaint about being bad*

Oh God, please no. I don't want to see the GB dudes get ground into a fine powder by the extreme tier trials.

I watched the quicklook and yea, it doesn't look appealing to me at all. I was sorta thinking about buying 3 months of plus for that and Trine 2, but I'm all of the sudden feeling like I wouldn't even play awesomenauts.

[ArjanN]

Quick Look: AirMech (Jeff/Ryan) (22:24)

If you're going to do a quicklook of an RTS at least play against a human for a bit so we can see some high level play / you getting destroyed. :P

[Rapstah]

That's Persona Kanji's voice actor doing the announcer for Awesomenauts, isn't it? (Apparently he's also Kai Leng in ME3 according to IMDB, but Awesomenauts doesn't have an IMDB entry.)

[Rufus]

And you guys jumped on me because of: I need the redemption, sorry :)

It was a daft point regardless, because the games, as hard as they are, allow everyone to stumble their way to the top due to the amount of checkpoints on each track. The series wouldn't be as loved/hated/loved if you'd have to one-shot every track.

[Xater]

AirMech is fantastic guys. I think everyone should give it a try. I also bought the Alpha bundle today. It's a great deal if you are into it. Kinda buys the whole game and you can ignore the F2P stuff ;)

[Zeer0id]

Ok wow, that Awesomenauts QL totally sold me on the game. Looks super fun! And then I found out it was developed by Ronimo, so no doubts anymore at all, I'm dropping some monies on this.

At this point, I think it's safe to call Ronimo the masters of adapting PC-centric genres into fun downloadable console games.

Get bent!

[SteveWinwood]

I'm so glad they're doing a Sniper Elite QL. I knew Drew would come through for us when they sounded so dismissive in the ILM!

[Haunted]

Ryan is not too bad at Trials, actually. Seems to have the knack of the game, for sure.

After watching the TNT, he certainly is the best player in the GB offices.

They are? woo! This should be fun.

It looks really polished for a browser-based game. Seems cool.

[ZoddGutts]

Still no Tribes Ascend quicklook. Guess that make sense since no one would be good enough in Giantbomb to play that game.

They TNTed the game.

did brad just ask if the brandenburg gate is a real thing? please tell me i got that wrong...

Haha

[HamPster PamPster]

I doubt giantbomb.ru knows about the St. Louis arch nor should they. Landmarks are stupid

[Wiseblood]

did brad just ask if the brandenburg gate is a real thing? please tell me i got that wrong...

Did you just stop watching it at that point and missed where he clarified he was asking about the vehicle?

[Darklord]

did brad just ask if the brandenburg gate is a real thing? please tell me i got that wrong...

What was that other thing he said once? If England was even around in the 13th century or something similar. I think it's safe to say geography isn't Giantbomb's strong point!

[Backfoggen]

did brad just ask if the brandenburg gate is a real thing? please tell me i got that wrong...

2 secs later he said that he meant the car...

[S1kkZ]

2 secs later he said that he meant the car...

oh, ok. missed that.

[TheOddOne]

Brad is right, Der Untergang was really good.

[ArjanN]

Brad is right, Der Untergang was really good.

It's a modern classic.

Oh, and maybe someone who doesn't hate sniping should have manned that quicklook, as I don't think that did the game much justice, but nice they tried at least.

What did you call me? Solitary. A month!

[HamPster PamPster]

Its clear from his Super Meat Boy love, Trials love and posts in GAF thread that Brad loves the pain. Its the only way to get him to respond

Meet me in the bombcast thread Brad - you want rage posts or stilettos?

[Htown]

You guys can be really obtuse sometimes.

Stop only posting when people say dumb things :(

[inky]

LOL Brad. It's like you can't help yourself.

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Stop only posting when people say dumb things :(

They've (Brad and co.) got better shit to do. Besides, why would anyone want to participate in a community where a non-trivial number of members are critical of you and vocal about it? It only takes a small amount of negative feedback to outweigh the potential good feelings from positive feedback. I wouldn't want to deal with it.

The bolded is a misinterpretation. We dig the Brad. Pretty obvious, too.

[slaughterking]

Brad only comes here to fish for compliments. He's always cherry picking the really dumb comments and acting all hurt and upset about them, so that that the less inane part of the community steps in to comfort him. It's genius!

[Typographenia]

(Brad and co.)

When I need to purchase anything for my family, I know I can trust Brad & co.

[SteveWinwood]

Was expecting Drew/Vinny or Dave/Vinny for that... Vinny wouldn't have been happy until we saw testicles get shot.

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Yep, it's just fun to rib him.

I was looking forward to some max difficulty sniper action from DVD, happy that it got any QL though.

[panda21]

did they say they were doing a risen 2 Q-Dawg? i think i remember Ryan saying something about it. kind of curious to see it in action.

tera might be interesting too.

[LiK]

i pray Brad never replies to me. it can only be bad news.

[rudds]

Yeah, we're doing both of those today.

[inky]

Yeah, we're doing both of those today.

Yes! Hopefully Jeff is on the Tera one, lol.

[Hot Coldman]

Creeper Jeff please.

Creeper Jeff please.
