Not that I even plan on getting puddle but it would be disappointing if the last level doesn't end up with coffee again like they suggested. Seems like that would be an awesome way to end that game.

Not having a good sense of speed in space fighters always bugged me too. It's one thing, like they said, where you're close to a ship or something to give you a point of reference, but just flying out in the vacuum loses so much.
Surprisingly good looking game for $10.

That was awesome.
Dave is a karate man with all those kicks.

Dancing Dave is awesome Dave.
Yeah! Dancing Dave with a hat!
That's what I was wondering. It's impossible to do the YMCA and get a high score.
I thought the same thing but then I thought that they must have done that for the higher difficulties.

We've been blessed with way too much Dave recently.

That's a problem with most flight games as well. Last flight game was probably that afterburner game a while back that had a proper sense of speed.
Great to see more dave.
Wow, the lego-man filter actually looks okay. Game looks fun too, reminds me of EBA.

More Dave is always a good thing! Always enjoy Quick Looks with him (and Vinny, who's been MIA way too much) because of the energy and positive attitude they bring. Always looks like they're having fun.

Dave is one smooth motherfucker.
I only watched 10 minutes before I realized it was Patrick over reacting to everything. Per usual
It looked to me that if you did it right, it would have taken it.
Does the game have a two-player mode? If so, gif opportunity lost.
Like I said in another GB thread, Ryan spitting waka lyrics really threw me off and had me rollin laughing. Though now I have waka stuck on the brain so maybe I should be angry.

It could just be that he's playing on the easiest difficulty.

Went back and watched the Sakura Samurai and Mutant Mudds QLs. Both look like really solid releases, way more than I expect to see from games released on the service. Hopefully Nintendo keep leveraging their second-parties in a good manner and keep up a steady stream of decent games for the e-shop- that should give third-parties enough motive to keep making stuff too.
The showing for this at Konami E3 should have been glorious
Now Im sad because Im remembering how awful Konami's 2011 conference was
we seriously need more Dave/Kinect QLs
I wouldn't wish watching or participating in that on my worst enemy.

The only Endurance Run related thing I want in the future is Vinny and Jeff to do a QL of Persona 4: The Golden when it comes out, pretending it is something mysterious thing they have never heard about.
at the very least I'm hoping for a Devil Survivor 2 QL this month with Jeff/Vinny
Brad & Patrick should do it instead. It'd be nice for them to actually play a good, modern JRPG.

Was excited for this, but the demo turned me of picking it up... maybe this will get me back aboard.
Persona is sacred to J-V. It shall not be touched by others
I kind of feel the Persona endurance run was good mostly because they don't really play jRPGs. I doubt another Persona game would have the same impact on them.

That would be great, and such a Jeff and Vinny thing to do.

Looks great. Shame about the length, but it seems like a quality game.
Man, Jeff is so methodical sometimes.
His "decent 60 hour game, awesome 25 hour game" comment is very poignant.
I haven't seen the QL yet but that kind of thing may have just sold me on the game. I'm not a completionist so I may end up enjoying Reckoning quite a bit. I suppose at this point it all depends on how I feel about the combat and writing.
edit: oh wait... is this a 60 hour game that can't be played in 25 hours? did I misinterpret the comment?
It's definitely true. It's why Bastion left such an impression: it didn't overstay its welcome, constantly introduced you to new weapons and ended right when everything coalesced and climaxed. It made you want more and rewarded you with new game + as soon as you finished it. Something like Amalur or Skyrim drags on and on, becomes repetitive and makes you want to clear everything out of your quest log, not because it's fun but because you need to placate your insatiable OCD.
Completionism, aka "Caravella's Disease," can truly be a gamer's self-inflicted curse.
Personally, I think this game just looks insanely bland. I'm rather burned out on this kind of cookie-cutter fantasy setting these days.
And what is up with the UI/menu elements? Yuck.
