It... it just gets crazier and crazier as the video goes on. That last part, when they're calling it Fever Dream Mario and comparing it to a hacked Mario ROM... it's like everything you know is a lie.

Once they
hit that World 6 warp
, I knew that things would really start to hit the fan.

The part with Frieza transforming about six times says volumes about how I feel about that character and Dragon Ball Z in general. God damn. Who needs that many forms? I've never seen a final JRPG boss with four forms.

I did like the part with Dodoria (pink guy) popping up behind Krillin, then just standing there. It's like a Bugs Bunny/Elmer Fudd cartoon.

I’ve never seen a DBZ cartoon in my life but that transformation bit was hilarious. All Vinny was trying to do was transform in between punch combos from Ryan.

I couldn’t believe he was able to do it so many times. ridiculous character design :lol

That was just because they stretched the anime out a lot, because they were catching up to the manga. There's a remake of Dragonball Z (Dragonball Kai) running now, which cuts out all the filler.

And their quicklook makes the game look bad, but that's mostly because they don't know how to play the game. It's like watching Street Fighter IV or Tekken 6 with two guys just mashing buttons.

They did confess it's the very first time they'd put the game in.

Taking a few minutes to flip through the manual beforehand would have been nice. I don't like it when they're this careless with their quicklooks. It's much better if someone has at least put an hour or so into the game before they start.

Who really when they play a game read the manual, surely a game should be designed so if its the first time you put the game in it asks whether or not you want to view the tutorial with the option of skipping of course.

There probably was a tutorial in the first saga, which they skipped. The very least they could have done is to look up what buttons do what. If they don't know what they're doing, the quick looks tend to be dull.

Select the quality of the video and hit play. As soon as the video starts, pause it and you'll have the link to download in that plugin.
 
I really don't get where they're coming from about the questions having a hugely British tinge to them. I mean sure, they got that bizarre question about cars being banned on some island, but they also got questions about a ton of books that you're forced to read in American high schools, handegg, Nickelback, Lou Gehrig and Wacky Races. I think all the Buzz! games do a really good job of not feeling too foreign while not being so quintessentially American that they're easy if you're a pop culture junkie like myself. It's not like they're asking questions about who won British Big Brother 7 or something.
 
These quick looks are the best thing the internet media is doing right now. Can't remember the last Gamespot, IGN, Gametrailers feature I've followed or cared about as much as i adore Quick Looks.
 
Someone needs to send them this.

It doesn't help their case that they got the Joe Biden question wrong.
