Jeff's deadpanning is hilarious. The part where he says, "I really liked that part of the movie" when they were going around collecting the keys was great.

where did the not like this come from? when they were creating the character or before this video?

It's a line in the movie. Switch says it before Cypher pulls the plug and kills them.
 
That Quick Look for Splosion Man has me itching to buy the Maw as well. Was that game good?
 
Yay, I really like when Brad and Vinny do stuff together. Jeff and Ryan are great, but they already have a lot of exposure on the site.
 
The Splosion Man quick look was great. Loved how the controller face buttons are all mapped to "SPLODE" and the achievement you get for trying to change it :lol

I'm glad that game was pushed up a bit earlier to July 22.

Game looks hilariously bad, but I'm still amazed by the fact that the Matrix storyline has been officially continued with this pos. Then again they already hit the bottom with the last two movies pretty hard and I guess they just decided to stay there.

Man, ArmA 2 would probably piss me off almost immediately, just not my cup o' tea.

I looooooved Operation Flashpoint back in the day but seeing ArmA 2doesn't get me excited at all. It looks archaic.

ArmA 2 - 16:53

Not really a game that fits in with QLs but I won't complain.

I have two questions

1. Is it my computer, or does it look like they are playing that on settings that their computer cant handle.

2. I understand its extremely simmy, but the guy should go over the game a few times before doing a quick look. It was giving him help on how to play, like night vision, but he was ignoring it.

Yeah, it looks as if the computer he was playing it on had some difficulties running the game.

Edit: Guess I was wrong, it had to do with the video's frame rate.
 
To be honest, with the way he was playing he would have died just as fast in something like Rainbow Six Vegas or GRAW (for PC).

Quick Look: ArmA II
Dave and Jeff go super-sim. (Note: video framerate not indicative of game performance)

I have the game and I'm going to say it's because the game is pretty poorly optimized(even on recommended settings). It runs well enough most of time but at points it will just drop off.

One of the reasons I said it's not really QL material is because the controls are all over the place. It's just a lot to take in and takes time to get used to.

You can't play this game like RB6 or GRAW though. The movement is clunky and the game has some serious aim acceleration.

I spilled my drink all over my monitors... Amanda Mattricks. Goddamn :lol
 
Yeah, that Matrix Online QL was hilarious. I love those guys :lol

Does anyone else feel that GB has really nailed the whole "video game review/information website" format? GB has a great sense of community, and doesn't seem to take itself to seriously but still provides quality up to date news and great gameplay footage.
