So I am a recent giant bomb premium subscriber and am wondering whats some must see premium content? Im going to watch me some metal gear scanlon, but am wondering what else is worth watching?
What are some must see premium content?
Anything with "Random PC Game" in the title. All the videos of Patrick/Vinny/Danny playing Bioforge.
And this: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/drew-returns-from-north-korea/2300-5929/
The only worthwhile stuff I found to be Load Our Last Souls and Jar Time.
Anything with Vinny is usually good, because he approached games more light heartedly, but that stuff is rarely Premium I think. I'd advise you to watch Kerbal Project BEAST, but it isn't Premium. Still one of the better series on the site though.
Some UPF's I would recommend
01/25/13 (The guys play Beverly Hills Cop for PS2 and Jeff reads some Space Jam)
02/01/13 (The guys watch some AGDQ speedruns, and Vinny plays Thayer's Quest and they riff on some old 80's Halcyon footage)
02/08/13 (Drew plays Lego Island)
02/22/13 (The guys play Dog's Life and are confused by Unreal World RPG)
04/12/13 (The guys play Bioforge for the first time on the show and Patrick plays some Jurassic Heart)
10/31/14 (Halloween episode, Jeff is wearing the Will Smith penguin costume, Drew shows pictures from his trip to Vietnam, Drew gives Dan some dongs and they eat Banana twinkies)
There is a bunch of more great UPF episodes, mostly the earlier ones but these are just some choice ones.
Then there is all the Whiskey Media Happy Hour and TNT episodes and most of those are fantastic.
Also check out the Demo Derby's, Game Tapes, Phantasmagoria 1 and 2 playthroughs, Life is Strange, Contradiction, Until Dawn, VinnyVania.
Vinny and Dave Snider play Phantasmagoria.
Also Phantsamagoria II! Sadly no Hardcore Dave, but still worth it.
I'd say most of it, but I'm someone who LOVES Giant Bomb and has been a Premium member since the beginning. It's probably pretty daunting to just pick something to watch and starting from the beginning would take FOREVER.
The only thing that comes to mind that isn't suggested on here already is Vinny's original Bot Colony video. It's the video where Vinny gets the most frustrated I've ever seen him--well, until Shenmue came along, at least.
Metal gear scanlon
GB east Playdates ( believe they are premium) specifically Contradiction spot the liar (start with quick look)
Vinnyvania
Unprofessional Fridays
The Hitman stuff
Brad and Vinnie's Demon's Souls series was pretty fun to watch.
Brad and Dan's Hitman stuff too.
Playdates and Demo Derby can be pretty hit or miss I think.
Enjoy Metal Gear Scanlon. That series is what got me to sub and it's still probably my favourite thing I've watched here.
Also some of the Premium only podcasts can be good
The best from what I have seen (and remember) so far:
- Phantasmagoria (Vinny and Dave)
- Phantasmagoria 2 (Jeff B, Austin, Vinny, Alex) - not as good as the original but still good.
- Mario Party
- Dwarf Fortress (Vinny, Dave and Drew)
- Hitman (Quick Looks, Elusive targets is mostly found in UPF)
- Contradiction
- Different Random Old Games videos. Especially when FMV-Vinny is at the steering wheel.
