You can't fool me. You cut off the image right where there are games that haven't been QL'd yet.
Jeff really wants to QL Ravaged Zombie Apocalypse, but because he has to do PR for his friends he can't.

That really is just the size of my window.
I do want to see a quick look of Sir, You Are Being Hunted though. Could be cool.
And as if they were ever going to do a Hate Plus quick look.

To be fair, there are stuff like Hate Plus, Space hulk and might and magic X where they haven't taken a look at yet.
Also, stuff that doesn't seem like stuff they'd usually look at.
There's also ALOT of early access stuff.

Those press sneak fucks, just covering the games they and a lot of their fans are interested in. The very nerve.
Sounds like Jeff is playing infinity on his own time for whatever reason so it isn't as if rolling the cameras for a half hour is the reason your favourite indie game has not been featured. They cover a fair few of the lesser known titles, many more than they ever used to, and they never promised to look at everything. They get to most of them eventually.. More than many of the much bigger sites.

Don't think there's a good way to cover a story only game like Hate Plus. I doubt anyone but Patrick would be interested in playing that game anyway. They could cover the other two games for sure. Doubt they'd cover Space Hulk.

Going in blind and just toss in Vinny and you've got comedy.

CHANGING TOPICS SINCE IT IS NOW THE WEEKEND, AND YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS...
Whatever happened to Vinny learning Italian through Rosetta Stone?
Did he give up on that guitar game that teaches you to play guitar (I already know he can play already, but he was trying to improve through that one game).
Has there ever been an update on the Ryan shirt / EnemyNancer fund?
Edit:
Vinny and Jeff won UPF this week.
Another question:
If the guy who created QLCrew website is a Gaffer, I'd love to see in the stats page a list of the most popular videos.

Hate Plus? A VN about reading emails isn't exactly quick look material. It'd be them reading text off the screen aloud.

Me thinks that "Full Motion Vinny" should spin off in to its own feature.

I get the feeling the Madden devs get like 6 or 7 real months of development time and lots of features are only partially implemented by the time they're forced to lock down everything for release. Someone was probably halfway through the process of overhauling the replay camera and there was no turning back by launch. Same with the animation system last year. No competition gives them the luxury to never consider delaying the game.
The only question would be who would be
Return of Dave?

That article on transphobia Patrick linked to in Worth Reading comes across as remarkably condescending. Really doing a lot for your cause there, author!
Oh wow... if they brought back user call ins for this year's big live show... but via HAM radio only.
They didn't. Partick liked it but Alex vetoed it because he didn't like the wolf ears on his image.
apparently not, the wife said somethig to that effect on twitter.
He said he wanted to do something with it but would have to talk to Jeff. They apparently put some rules in place about showing all of a recently released game and also questions about if putting that stuff behind the paywall woud be legit.
Wouldn't be a real ER anyway. Short game. 1 person. More like a long spookin.

The problem is internet and social media have made people vicious in their social-righteousness. They like to preach education and awareness, but the moment someone slips up and makes a stupid comment its like they're sharks and there's blood in the water. Forget education, its about shaming and reputation assassination. If anything they've made it harder to talk about because of the fear of sounding ignorant.

I think this was my favorite out of all the arts, love the 2 different skylines in the background
Yeah, I definitely preferred the red one too. Obviously nothing major to complain about, but they didn't need to run a poll if they already had the winner in mind. OH WELL, INTERNET.

Well, I wouldn't mind the tone of the article if they hadn't opened with a declaration that the article was suitable for those who've never been accused of transphobia. Saying that, and then being all "YO YOU SHUT UP AND LISTEN", just made me roll my eyes and tab out pronto. Despite the points being fairly understandable and agreeable.
Ah, what do I care. I love everyone, unless they're assholes.
Alex is a furry confirmed! Not that there's anything wrong that.

Tweet Vinny and Drew to make FMV games their own feature #fullmotionvinny
FFS Tested has always been terrible when talking about video games but it's getting worse and worse.
That makes you think...if they are that bad about video games and yet still talk about it like they know what they're talking about... How much bulshit do they say every weeks about other subjects?

I don't think I've ever clicked on a Worth Reading since the first one went up 'cuz I kinda mistakenly assumed all the links would be about games and sometimes I worry I spend way too much time focusing on that one topic.
I happened to come across that article on my own through following the author on twitter. I hear the tone argument a lot when I follow these types of discussions online. I think it's a little unfair to ask her not to be upset even when she's aiming to educate an audience that's genuinely interested in learning how not to be a jerk to trans people. Same goes for any other issue. In this case where the article's been written for cis people who are generally a source of harassment and abuse for people who are trans, I feel especially shitty asking them to consider my feelings even when they talk about problems that exist because of people like me even though I personally may not feel that I've done anything wrong. Like with various other social justice causes, the movement is about them, the minority, the people who usually don't have a voice, not about making sure everyone else feels comfortable as they fight for their equality.
When they're too polite they get ignored or are told "it must not be so bad since you aren't upset." When they're pissed off some well meaning people can end up tuning them out. Ain't no winning here.
I'm glad Patrick is exposing this kind of stuff to the GB community since a lack of diversity (there and at most other video game forums) was part of the reason I gave up posting there.
I have zero interest in most sports games but the Jeff/Vinny sports crew is amazing. Makes these worth watching, haha.

Jeff getting audibly uncomfortable with Vinny's pet name for the Packers is hilarious. "I dunno about that..."
I understand and agree with everything you said. Indeed, there probably is no winning. I'm not asking to feel comfortable, for what it's worth. The part where people feel the need to write instruction manuals for how to deal with accusations, and the part where those kind of accusations can often be hella truthful, makes me uncomfortable enough. People suck, and that sucks.
Patrick at least attempting to spread this stuff around is still incredibly worthwhile, even if I do take issue with this specific article. It's one of the best things about Worth Reading. And he's said in the past that he's not endorsing the things that end up getting linked, just passing them along, so I don't mind if I don't like what I see sometimes. Who knows, maybe someone else was educated by it.

I guess I'm the only one that doesn't like the football quick looks from this year. They feel like the same jokes over and over. A few good lines but for the most part it's an hour of Jeff and Vinny playing a game poorly and going FOOTBALL VIDEOGAMES EH
