say whaaaaaa?


How could someone not love the inane Piscopo mugging, the “tell joke” menu item, the short 4 frame loops all over the place, even the hard drive requirements line.

classic QL, all around, with an amazing ending

None of it was particularly funny. Hell, I even thought the game was quite good for something that come out in 1995 on PC. The ending really made the whole thing worth it though.

Also 17:38 for a Frakes freakout they missed.
I was reeeeeeally disappointed they missed that.
Are there any more Frakes Freakouts? We need a collection of them (from the game and/or other things he's been in)
 
Am I the only one who sees stuff like this and immediately has the urge to google the celebs to see what they look like now? (Or at least, recently.)

Well, so you don't have to look, here they are.

Morgan Fairchild. Older, probably heftier, but looks probably the best of the 3.

Frakes. Just looks...old. But really, not that bad.


And then there's...

Wow.
 
The Quick Look itself was ok. There was way too much talking at the beginning where I just wanted to hear the looping lines and jokes, but things settled down halfway. That Riker face... holy shit :lol

For the Frakes fans:

Can be used on GAF without modifications.
Fuck! I would totally use that if I didn't already love mine and spend way to long faffing about with stuff to make it.
 
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
TURN THE VIDEO QUALITY BACK UP TURN THE VIDEO QUALITY BACK UP

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
Probably the best GB moment ever.
 
Best QL in a long while. That video quality bit was just awesome.

Also notice how the video quality did not changed from what I saw, he just does that face :lol
 
God damn did I lose it at the second Frakes bit.
It was like the game was punishing you for going to Low Quality, so Frakes became possessed.
:lol
 
Looks way more intriguing in this footage than it used to look, I think. All I remember is that other trailer, really.

Pretty terrible.

Looks like another Front Mission in the making. Boring, forgettable, sent to die.
It looks overly mechanical, I find the multiplayer setup intriguing though. Maybe there's more to it, I don't know. "Sent to die" seems overly harsh to me.

Yeah, maybe. I'm just not seeing it. It looks stiff, with subpar animation and collision detection. The gunplay seems pretty bad. It looks just like Front Mission's on-foot missions.


If they can make the Geist/Messiah thing work in an interesting way in the SP campaign... maybe I'll switch my tune. But I doubt it.

Yeah, the bolded part is probably what'll prevent it from being anything special.

If you have shooting in your game, it better be fucking awesome. That's been the bottom line for quite a long time. Weird they haven't figured that out.
 
I watched the Celebrity-QL during my lunchbreak and later at work Frakes face and the GB guys unison scream of horror randomly popped up in my head and I laughed in a couple of customers faces. Good stuff!
 
I watched the poker one last night and now I'm reading this thread giggling like an idiot thinking about it.

I'm gonna have to watch it again just to get it out of my system.
 
I love Bethanie QL's, those are the bes.... who?

411 DAYS? How? The game has been out 5 years! That's over 1/5 of the time. Ahhhhh.

Thank Christ I only ever got to Lvl16, and bailed out due to money issues. Never going back!
