Looks like I completely missed the beta codes event :lol maybe someone is feeling generous or has an extra one to send me :D .

The Pheonix Wright wiiware quick look was awesome, the copy/paste of the DS game is a bit disappointing tho.

It really bugged me when they were in the first ship missions but were not using full impulse. Moreso because I did the same mistake and didn't realize it until I hit the button on top of the speed bar hours later. :lol

I saw the other ship fly a lot faster.

Sometimes I shake my head at the GB crew.

The first DS Quick Look!

Well... looks like a Phantasy Star Online game. I can't imagine the internet play being very great with it being on a Nintendo system... but if it doesn't have a monthly fee I guess that kind of defaults it to being the best Phantasy Star game to come out in quite some time.

I realize it is probably way too late, but if anyone has a Star Trek beta key they don't want I would greatly appreciate it! PM me please.

Dear Giantbomb,

Please fix your DS quicklooks. I know the DS's setup makes it difficult with your video player and all but at the very least you can make sure that your faux DS screens are the same resolution of the actual DS screens. That way the video wouldn't be horrible and the text unreadable.

Sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen

They don't tell you about Full Impulse until the next ship missions after where they're at now.

Yeah, Sega was super quiet about it. I don't even think some outlets even got review copies. There's only ten reviews up for it on Metacritic. I'm kind of shocked I ended up getting a review copy.

This is kind of random and a bit late, but I just watched the quick look for Story Hour: Adventures for the first time.

OMG, that was amazing! :lol :lol

I finally saw the Ace Attorney one. That was so great. I want an Endurance one with Ryan and Vinny. Their reactions were great.

I just thought they made it up themselves from the "set phasers to stun" phrase used so often.

but, no doubt it's been used before.

It was a slogan for the Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con on the Simpsons, but I'm sure the phrase predates that.

Edit: It was "set phasers on fun", which more accurately reflects what I think is the actual Star Trek quote "set phasers on stun", though it could be apocryphal since I couldn't find a reference to where it was ever uttered canonically.

As much as I'd like a Phoenix Wright Endurance Run, it wouldn't actually require much endurance to complete it and would entirely obliterate the concept of playing the PW games yourself, because it's so heavily focused on its story. If you already know how the story ends, there's no point in playing it.

It doesn't really take much "endurance" to complete a Phoenix Wright game either, unlike a 100+ hour JRPG.

I think people should stop trying to force the next endurance run. The cool thing about GB is things happen naturally, that's how it should remain. If they find a suitable game, they'll run it.

I just watched the noby noby boy QL :lol Even though I've 100%'d that trophy list, I laughed so hard at them :D Maybe I'm just too tired :(

Endurance or not, I want them to play through PW with commentary. I watch them as if they're MST3K. The investigation sections would be pretty entertaining.

I don't see why we can't hope for one. It's not like they take requests :lol

You can hope all you want, I didn't mean to sound like an ass if I did. :) It just seems like nearly every game GB touches these days, there's a comment here or on their site about how it should be an endurance run. Just a bit grating, I guess.

Yes, I hope it's grating enough that the GB guys will finally break down and do an Endurance Run for another game. At this rate, I'll take ANY game! :lol

btw, it's cool :)

arrrrrrrrrrrrgh at brad canceling out of making a cool new ship in star trek because he thought it was gonna cost money even though vinny and dave were both pointing out it was free

the only thing worse than a gb duder making a dumb obvious mistake during an endurance run or quick look, is when one of the others notices and tells them to not do it but they end up doing it anyway

aka, the persona 4 "just let vinny decide the dialogue options jeff, you apparently can't make jrpg friends" effect

Watching them play the beta has convinced me that Brad just hates fun. I mean, how can you not go for the Leg Sweep?

I don't know whether Brad tries to generate some kind of drama during quick looks or if he's just the most indecisive person on the planet, but it would be maddening to sit in the same room as him playing some of these. Every time there's a choice, he suddenly becomes unable to do anything at all. Since he just got into Fallout 3, I'm all for a 300 hour endurance run consisting of nothing but Brad trying to decide whether to save or annihilate Megaton.

Sorry, I saved it as soon as my Explosives skill was high enough.
