Post your funniest pics/quotes from the stream.

I can only hope of more great stuff like this coming out of GiantBomb East. I only caught the tail end of the stream, but that was a riot.

That was one fucking hell of a live stream.

someone get a gif of vinny throwing down his mic and storming off XD

It will come out of GB East because Vinny's there.

Had to be done.

@viciousreiven: YEEEESSSSSS!!!!

PS: Giantbomb really needs at least non-audio webm support.

@dsi1: Wouldn't that be hell on people with slow internet?

Webms are smaller than gifs.

My version with audio is only 419KB, 299 of it video and 107 of it audio. (rest of it overhead)

For comparison, the low frame rate, dithering suffering, no audio gif up above is 4.07MB.

@dsi1: Ah, my bad.

From start to finish, this livestream was golden.

GiantBomb West and Central need to step up their game; Vinny and Alex are now the modern-day Biggie and Puff Daddy. :P

I do not know your name, Philips.

Did you mean?

Yes! I was totally gonna do this if I didn't see this here.

Not really a quote, but one of my favorite moments was when Jimmy placed the pepper grinder on the coffee maker.

Any archive of this anywhere? Missed it and there isn't an archive on Twitch or anything...

@jothel:

Oh god, does that mean Jeff will hire Brad to shoot Vinny?

I was watching the stream live, but it got so infuriating I sort of zoned out. When I came back, Vinny was trying to get the robot to put the pepper grinder down for some reason. When the show ended and I went back to watch the context, I saw that Vinny was trying to get the pepper grinder down for about half an hour.

@insane_shadowblade85: They didn't choose the gamer life, the gamer life chose them.

Sooooo... I clearly missed something magical.

Bot Colony is all build up until some beautiful payoffs. Vinny's Quick Look may have a slow start, but if you can hang on till the end you're in for a ride. If you can get there, you too can know the pain of the Pepper Grinder. This game is perfect for Vinny.

Oh god what magical thing of beauty did I just miss due to the world cup match?

I dunno, I think it started off strong with Reading With Vinny.

I found that kind of wrapped around and went from funny to not funny to funny again. I feel like everyone's milage will vary on that one.

I said back when he moved that a Vinny-centric GB NY could be the thing to re-invigorate my interest in the site and make me sign back up for premium.

Looks like I was about spot on.

Ahhh, looks like I missed some awesome.

It's up now (premium, obviously) and MAN this is something special...

Right. 911 is a joke in my town.

I liked most how the bot voice is the now generic text to speech voice that everyone uses.

Ya, great video thing that was.

Here's the dev's explanation of how the final line was recognized: http://steamcommunity.com/app/263040/discussions/0/45350790923213589/#c45350790944075865

I'm not sure how "Pick up the pepper." is interpreted as a command whereas "Pick up the pepper grinder." is a statement of fact but I guess if you've been working on the thing for 11 years you can suss out the subtle nuance required to find the distinction.

Dammit Jimmy. Gawddammit, Jimmy....

Go to sleep. Shutdown. Self destruct.

@psychopenguin: Technically, "Jimmy pick up the pepper grinder!" was interpreted as "Jimmy picks up the pepper grinder." Which is more of an observation.

Apparently, commands have to come with verbs first. So, "Pick up the pepper grinder" or "Put down the toy giraffe" or "Kill me please".

I don't believe I've ever laughed as hard over a GB video as this one. So great.

I'm not too much of a fan of single person streams but Vinny can turn everything into gold. I'd be ok with Vinny buying more crazy steam games and trying them out at home for us to enjoy.

This is fucking beautiful man.

I have to wonder what the rest of this "game" is like. What were the developers thinking when creating this world of the future? SIRI has better understanding than the robots that are supposedly so intelligent that they are a part of our daily lives.

If I told my houserobot to vacuum the carpet, and he recites to me the dictionary entry for "Vacuum" every time I do... I would murder him.

@psychopenguin: It was pretty obvious through that stream that Vinny's insistence on beginning commands with the robot's name was contrary to the way the voice recognition was programmed to work.

Early Giant Bomb content of the year contender, loved it!

This was going through my head during the last half-hour:
