Nice, a Ryan and Vinny QL. Glad to see more videos going up. I miss the Dave radio show though.

I was expecting a Brock Lesnar adventure game. Sadface.

Hmm I'm playing through this right now so maybe I should hold off on watching this

But it's hard to resist a Ryan/Vinny QL

Sweet, always wanted a game about Brock Lesnar.

Ya they've been making the Runaway series for awhile. I assume this is part of that franchise. I'm not a fan of it but some people like them. I still have the first one- it's ok but not great.

Edit: After watching- it would seem Ryan has the same feelings about it as me. It has a great art style but (even for Adventure games) they don't mask how slow it is. Mainly for me with the one I played I didn't find it funny enough to carry it. I don't know, this one seems like they're getting better so it may be more interesting.

The writing is still really odd- not sure yet if that's a plus or not haha

This looks interesting. I really did the art style. Too bad I'm not really into adventure games.

I do have one question though:

Why is Baxter Stockman in this adventure game?

HenryHSHon April 26, 2011 at 9:39 a.m.
woah... I'm surprised someone other than me expected Brock Lesnar.

Giant Bomb is, kind of a big deal.

So Push Giant Bomb, REAL GOOD

This actually looks more interesting than any of the Telltale games.
