You're right, because they were so in shape when they did OTS.

Flailing your arms like an idiot for hours compared to sitting down and writing are just a tad different.
 
I don't think jeff is what out of shape, he used to be much worse... right?

But seriously who cares? let them live how they live. It does not matter what they look like.

Yeah they can live however they want but drinking constantly and eating excessively can't be a healthy lifestyle. :lol

I totally read this in an Eric Cartman voice. I think the hippies start set it off.

I don't judge the weight of other people though. Let them live how they want.
 
I'm all about letting people live how they want, but I'm honestly concerned for ryan davis sometimes. He's arguably the most charming and rational of the bunch and he doesnt look like he'll make it past 45. :/

The type of movement required is going to have a much larger effect on how strenuous an activity is than the amount of movement (like six inch leg raises, for example). Enjoyment is secondary for an exercise game since the main point is, well, to exercise. That type of game may require a different approach and a different skillset to gauge its effectiveness. Like rigorous, continued use over several weeks, which isn't something I think the GB is really interested in.

To be fair, Jeff's Wii Fit review is still one of the site's earliest reviews, but that was back when there weren't five million fitness games coming out every second.

Damn shame they couldn't load the afterburner level. I think Brad and his spamming the "X" button screwed it up.

Nah, there was a thought bubble over the level icon with Sackboy x 2 in it, possibly implying that the level required two players to play (Despite the author's single-player tag).

Still, some nice concepts in that beta. Hope they can get all of the menu/loading kinks worked out for the launch.
 
My favourite QL is still the NSMBWii one.

Eh, just watch the Modern Warfare/Medal of Honor one, same thing.

bam! Trolling Activision feels so good.

Aww that's a horrible thing to imagine. :(
 
The QL for Mario Vs. DK really intrigued me to purchase, but it was nigh unwatchable due to Brad's inability to actually play the game properly. I rarely grit my teeth watching one of these QL videos, but that one nearly had me raging as a backseat driver. Never seen such horrible game playing in my life!

Still the game looked fun! I didn't really like the original GBA game, but Miniland Mayhem(3rd in the series?) looks far improved.

I couldn't finish that or the LB2 QL because of Brad. I think he's an awesome guy, but it's extremely frustrating watching him play sometimes :lol On the other hand, I know it's a QL, and a lot of times they've hardly played the game, or they're rushing through it...but man, some of that stuff is just common sense :p

Seriously. I personally don't have a DS (don't do a whole lot of gaming on the go and didn't even when I had portable platforms) but I was still pretty close to rage at a couple points during that one. But I kind of expect it of him whenever he's driving a Quick Look, anyway. Almost to the point of humor, sometimes.

1h20m "quick" look for Black Ops just confirmed on Jeff's justin.tv stream.

I've always thought the "Brad sucks at everything" stuff is way overblown and stupid, but wow, not realizing he was already holding the grappling hook after walking over it...

I wasn't big on the first MvDK either, but I really feel like the series hit its stride with the sequel and kept it going with the DSi entry.
Just about to watch the QL, but it seems like Miniland Mayhem is consistent in quality with the post-GBA games which is good to hear.
 
Monopoly needs to be a $15 XBLA game. The disc will end up $15 shortly anyway, at least my way would ensure someone playing online.

Not-So Quick Look: Call of Duty: Black Ops (01:11:12)

the amount of crazy, non-game content in this one really surprised me. the terminal and hidden games were pretty cool.

I'm still not interested in buying another CoD new but it's on my radar as something to look out for next year after price drops.


I wonder how many game Room QLs are left? I love how Ryan hates (or pretends to hate) every second he has to watch Jeff play these things.
