Encyclopedia Bombastica and the GB crew - General Discussion

I really enjoy the EB stuff and was happy to see Alex put one up. I don't know how feasible it would be, but I think it would be cool to see entries from everyone at GB, highlighting games that were important to them in their formative years.

They mentioned that @Vinny will probably be doing a Law of the West EB during this weeks podcast. @patrickklepek's already got his livestream tech up and running, so I wouldn't be surprised if you see some come out of him, too.

I hope more of the staff finds the time to put these videos together. Encyclopedia Bombastica has quickly become one of my favorite video features.

honestly, I've only really liked Alex's one. I like Jeff of course, but most of the games he's been showing off just haven't been interesting to me, whereas I grew up on those old wrestling games on the n64.

I'd love to see Drew or Dave take on some really obscure PC stuff from the 90s.

I wore an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time.

Yeah, Encyclopedia Bombastica is turning out to be a great feature, and I'm really liking it. I would love to see a Drew EB, if only because I would find it amusing to see Drew have to talk to himself for like 20 minutes, because he is always so quiet except for 45-second bursts of interesting facts that occasionally happen during Flight Club and Load Our Last Save (R.I.P.).

Yuuup. There's an untapped wealth of games that just don't get covered anywhere, and this is the site I want to see do it.

I never played it myself, but I remember seeing that motocross game waaaaaaaaay back in the day. I never knew how it played though, so it was a pleasant surprise to see him talk about it.
