I was just taking the piss. Alex and Patrick were mocking Brad's late Brothers' review on Bombin.

Aw yes, they're going to try to get Jeff "The Gerst" Gerstmann in Bombin'.
that girl fight video could get them a ton of hits on google if they get the keywords right. "girl on girl" and "seismic fisting" is going to lead to a lot of disapointing searches.
Maybe the review copies didn't come with the map? dunno. Given how fast he finished it for review I don't think he did a great deal of side stuff. Maybe he just isn't in to that stuff.
He stopped streaming just before Ryan passed. I assumed he went on to finish the game but wasn't up to streaming given the situation. Maybe be stopped playing though, I am only guessing.
If Vinny is just picking up his save and trying to finish the game I guess it could be interesting.

Ok, this is a weird opinion.
What's so bad about Girl Fight?
Looks like a shitty fighter made with barely dressed girls to appeal to a male audience that likes barely dressed women. Like Jeff said, like a million games in the 16 bit era? I've got news for you, Asuka 120% Burning Fest is not a very good videogame.
There's even a category (of mostly japanese games) in which this game kinda falls into: Bishōjo game.
The "bonus" material is as bad as centerfold naked woman posters.
I wouldn't feel bad if it was an all-male roster with chiseled abs and bulging packages. You know, like Cho Aniki and, to some extent, Muscle March.
At worst, it's a product aimed at a very specific audience. Not unlike Hatsune Miku photoshoot extra minigame.

Warchild sounds more like a F2P Korean FPS than anything.

Didn't you just answer your own question?
I guess that is what kills it. You cold defend it if the gameplay was good. If it is a crappy game then nobody is going to defend the design decisions.
huh, I assumed (wrongly) that he finished it. Could make for interesting streams if he and Vinny are at about the same point.
Check my edited message, I added more information to my point.
But I guess my point is: why is that a bad thing?
That is something I agree with. It's not a good game after all said and done.
Vinny said he stopped at Tomb of the Giants and I don't recall Rorie beating that dungeon either. That should be a fun location for them to stream. I expect many freak outs.

It's a bad thing because it's a shitty fighter?
At least with skullgirls it has the gameplay to back it up and give the characters more... character instead of just glorified sex models.
Also the problem with this game being made instead of chiseled men with bulging packages is because no one is making that? But I don't really want to get into that debate because I don't really have a problem with cheesecake if done properly. Girl fight seems to be not that though.
Hey, at least Project Diva is a game with

Could they really not tell that the voice in Girl Fight was just a text-to-voice robot thing?
Because even as a Bishojo game, it looks awful. It's like they wanted to make an actual gal fighter that was heavy on fanservice and after they had nailed down their fighting system (GEMS! BECAUSE THAT WORK SO WELL!), they saw the flak that other games with unapologetic sex appeal had and decided to pull a hard 180, but their art assets were done. It doesn't go far enough for a gal fighter, it's not good enough to be a serious fighter, it's slow, it's ugly...It's bad.
There are ways of doing fanservice well. Whether or not you like the Skullgirls aethestic, it never shoves the TnA aspect of it in your face, as if screaming at the top of it's lungs, "LOOK AT IT! LOOOOOOOOOK AT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Girlfight feels like a computer's interpretation of human titillation if it were given a bullet list of traditional heterosexual turn ons without any context.
Besides, now that DOA5 is f2p, there is no reason to even consider playing this game.

Think about it like checkers and chess. You're just moving plastic pieces around the board in directions (at least what it looks like) but once you know the rules, it's obviously deeper than that.

Finally got around to the pax panel, this year is the first time I agree the Q&A was bad. Tang? Really bro?
Sounds like a box quote for Girl Fight.
"Deeper than...(chess)." - SteveWinwood.
Fighting games have arguably some of the most memorable characters in games. A good fighting game has great character design and memorable characters. Girl Fight just looks like a bad knockoff of DOA. It also lacks the depth that most fighting games have.
Why do you need to point it out as if there's something wrong with it?
Activision lets them make games.
Makes Neversoft work on map packs.
In less than a year, I still bet Neversoft could squeeze out a great game. Or could. Who knows anymore.
Its distracting.
I think it has its uses. I mean, in that one Worth Playing where he did that interactive story with the date and everything goes wrong, you wouldn't be able to see his priceless reaction if it were just audio and gameplay only.
I honestly think it's pretty entertaining to see his facial reactions in general.
Really? Are you unable to watch TNTs and Unprofessional Fridays etc as well? Their faces are always shown.

Can't stop laughing at the hacked leaderboard results in that hot wheels game

Patrick shows his face on his one person quicklooks for, what I believe are, two reasons:
1) The audience is used to seeing the editors of GiantBomb quite frequently. One would say even at least once a week (on Unprofessional Fridays or TNT, when we had those).
Patrick, not being part of those events, now puts his face on his alone quicklooks. To connect with the audience.
2) On two-people quicklook, there's a banter, there's a connection between the two people that are making the quicklook. They have a conversation and you're just listening to that conversation. Alone, Patrick doesn't have that back and forth with anybody, with makes the conversation not be as interesting. With his face there, that's something else for us to connect with, and pay attention to: His facial reactions to what's happening on the game and his body language, to better understand what he's trying to convey.
I think it works ok.

Thanks for reminding me this exists. Also the first (and only?) to completely break Jeff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTjuJ-hyD8Y#t=25m50s
Don't think I've ever heard him laugh that hard.

During this episode we start talking about some leaked NXT Promotional Skills videos. Here's a link where you can check them all out:

If you're at all interested in NXT, check these out! You really get a good sense of the personality that these kids can bring to the table. Even better if you're already invested in NXT.
Great job bringing the enthusiasm to the podcast, Jared. A nice counterpoint to Jeff's unenthusiastic cynicism.
