What happened to "Dave and Vinny play a Random PC Game"?

It's been almost a month since the last "Dave and Vinny play a Random old PC game" segment. This has become one of my favourite bits on the site! Are they guys too busy playing new games? Or perhaps you are holding the segment in reserve so you can pull it out (frequently I hope!) as we come into a long dry spell for new-releases? Or is the segment just dead, perhaps replaced with "load your last save" (nooooooooooo!!)?

V's been out of the office this week iirc, he said he wanted to get into Skyrim but chances are he dove into Morrowind instead, and there's a biblical amount of game and books in that, even in the face of Skyrim.

I imagine they're busy with stuff. Vinny probably has to do video stuff, and Dave probably has to do site stuff (or go to his old accounts and delete every embarrassing thing he's ever said).

November happened.

Skyrim happened.

They should play some Fallout 1, or 2

I'm pretty sure December's the month to do random stuff. I mean, it's not that they are doing anything involving a massive amount of games and several hours-long podcasting.

Sums it up nicely. There's simply no time for Random Old PC Games when there's Random New Every Console Games.

Sooner or later they must do Clive Barker's Undying, for I shall hound them relentlesly and without thought of their comfort zones..unless I get banned for it.

I can take a hint if that happens....

Dude, it's November, and there's modern games to play. Vinny's had to work on a lot of quick looks.

Expect all GB video content you've been missing to pick up in the new year, after their GOTY marathon.

the real question is "what happened to Jeff's Hall of Fame"

It's been a busy time with all the new releases coming out, remember this started when pretty much nothing was out.

I can't wait to hear what games Vinny played during his vacation.

"So, I was going to play Skyrim. But then I decided to play every Elder Scrolls game ever made first."

It is the busiest period of the year for new releases. I imagine they are more than busy enough covering those at the moment. The random content is best served by being released during relatively slow times.

Dave played 2 elder scroll games with Vinny in his pjs...

I'm guessing it's just a matter of how busy things must have gotten with all of the new releases. There hasn't been a Load Our Last Save for a bit either, hopefully those features will make a return soon, they're one of the biggest reasons I had no second thoughts about renewing my subscription.

Santa is guilty of this feature stopping because Santa makes all major companies release their biggest hits at the same time. This way, it is impossible for the children to have their parents buy every game they want, and Santa can deliver the ones they don't get to them for Christmas.

It think it was last Jar Time or TNT where Jeff said he knows what it is but the question he has is whether he should do it in studio and take up the time and resources or whether he should just film it at home

They'll probably make another one when they feel like it.

I feel like the last couple of weeks have been a little light on subscriber only content. The whole thing is probably a bad idea, since they already spread themselves thin with all the content they produce. A new endurance run is coming too, so that takes away some more potential for random new content appearing on the site. Random (ass) PC game was a great thing and I hope it will return- in fact, random old games are always welcome no matter what platform they´re on.

It's the holidays. Taper down your expectations for content a little more, eh?

November started to rain.

What about Breaking Brad?

Btw, I think they should play The Daedalus Encounter.

November is new game month. September-October are the months for trying new features too late after the entire dry season has already passed at Giantbomb. C'mon, people!

November happened.

still want them to play the void or pathologic :@

There was a random stream a Thursday or 2 ago where Dave mentioned that they've been busy but one will be coming soon.

YES. The first one especially, because that game was hard as fuck.

Stop the current ER and do another episode. Please.

It'll be back in the new year. Also, it's kind of weird how some people here seem to keep such close tabs on the guys' at-home lives.

I can't wait for the next one!

I guess Random Life events happened. I'm sure they'll get back into it, soon enough.

My guess is that GOTY videos happened, whic from the looks of them, took a bit of time to design, shoot, edit and mix in awesomeness.

This is only tangentially related, but I sure wouldn't mind seeing them do a Quick Look of the new Jagged Alliance coming out in February.
