I'm so disappointed with Game Room :(
Cmon, guys, you know the things in Boxing just look like floating wombs & ovaries. Admit it.
You'd think the PC version of Game Room would be better-equipped to handle the Atari and Intellivision keypads, but it's probably worse. Basically you manually map eight keys to "Button 1" through "Button 8", which are just the face buttons, triggers, and bumpers on an Xbox 360 controller. Then it just uses the 360 version's layout and maps it to the PC version. So if a game on the 360 used, say, the A and B buttons and a trigger, it's going to map it on the PC to Button 1, Button 2, and Button 5 or something, which means your keys are now all spread out.
The GameRoom QuickLooks are basically the new endurance run, who will be last man standing? JEFF OR GAMEROOM...TUNE IN NEXT WEEK
Talking about not doing Game Room anymore?
No! You CANNOT stop doing Game Room. If you stop covering this shit and everyone forgets about Game Room and how bad it is, Microsoft wins. And so do the terrorists.
Do you want the terrorists to win, Jeff?
These Game Room looks are just a trail of tears.
I imagine there are two guys locked in a basement room of a now abandoned corporate office somewhere still coding these ports. First the building's rec room was closed, then the fitness center, then the cafeteria, they turned off the heat to save money... then they laid off the janitor. Just two guys left working under the glow of a bare light bulb, and they hate each other.
" Did anyone else notice that Jeff's ranking in Super Basketball said "113rd" at one point? How do you pronounce that exactly? "Some programmer thought that whenever it ends with a 3 its gotta be "rd" - rookie mistake.
In between all the games released on Gameroom, which I've seen every week, A Game of Concentration is the worst game I've seen.
I know what we should do! Put a game that requires 16 buttons on a console with only 8 buttons! The other eight buttons? THE ANALOG STICK OF COURSE!...every time I think they've hit rock bottom, someone tosses down a shovel.
I love these Game room QLs. Keep'em comin'! I wished you did Virtual console and PSN PS1 classic QLs though. :( But that would just make you go broke.
" Do not stop doing Game Room Quick Looks! I live for my weekly dose of old-fashioned gaming goodness (or badness)! "
All l learned from that quicklook is that HOBlivion is the greatest gamertag ever!
I can't tell if all the people crying out "don't stop game room quick looks!" are joking or not.
These videos just get more and more depressing! But for the love of large explosives (and mondays), don't stop making these videos! Sure, it's eating into valuable journalism time.. or.. twinky-eating time, but I feel this extensive look into Microsoft's continued failure is a very important thing to broadcast. If you don't do it, who will?!
And this way, if you ever get the chance to do some investigative journalism and shake down some dude at Microsoft who knows how the Game Room business works, you couldn't be more educated on the issue.
don't stop the game room quicklooks. at this point your in to deep and you have to see it through. and with duke nukem coming out we wouldn't have anything to watch crash and burn

Don't end the game room.
But I severely agree about the "late 80's hardware"
That's what I was excited for when I heard about Game Room. All the arcade games I saw growing up, but didn't have the quarters to play. Missed opportunity.
Really, who in their right mind wants to play 2600 games?
I remember Boxing, the first couple of times you played it was cool but then, and I'm sure you can imagine why, it was just repetitive. Super Breakout looks terrible with the Xbox controls and Concentration is just unbelievably bad!
Jeff, I'm sorry. I just...um...just...yeah I'm sorry. No one should be made to suffer through this let alone have their wallet suffer through this. Thank you for taking one for the team bro.
" @Jonnyflash80 said:lol I'm sure someone at microsoft saw that i was like, fuck it who cares" Did anyone else notice that Jeff's ranking in Super Basketball said "113rd" at one point? How do you pronounce that exactly? "113th is what it should have been "
The people still need to see what's going on in Game Room! And the only qualified investigator that we have left is Jeff.
" Brad: i think we should put a bullet in Game Room Enough said "I love how basically every Game Room Quick Look has Jeff, Ryan, or in this case Brad, saying something to this effect.
Jeff, I'm sorry you have to waste your time and money on this crap. You are, however, doing a great public service by exposing this sham (or, should I say scam).
Watching Jeff and Game Room is like... it's great... but it's horrible. I shouldn't enjoy other people suffering but... it's so great. It's Game Room taken down one peg at a time by Jeff and Co.
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS!? WHY WOULD YOU PUT THIS OUT!?"
" Boxing looks like two ovaries "Thank you.
