There's just something about hearing Tony Schiavone just shouting move names as "commentary" that makes me smile.

Man, the WCW commentary team never got enough love. Tony, Bobby the Brain, Mike Tenay and Larry Zabisko. So good.

Ben's voice doesn't make me want to jam a screwdriver in my ears so no.

These dev are saying which characters are designed off of what other teammates.

Does that mean the "purely fictional and any resemblance is purely coincidence" disclaimer is bullshit?

So let's say you design a character on yourself. Can you then turn around and sue your employer for the work "they" produced?

Ben has an incredibly hyper sounding laugh; he really lost it during Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

The train in Army Men is literally Thomas the Tank Engine.

Remote Control Dandy is great, plus it's by the team that became Sandlot (of EDF fame). Jeff got stuck at the point where it was telling him to run around as the kid to get a better vantage point, but that was probably the best way it could have ended.

Also Croc was built on spec as a licensed Yoshi game by the team that made Starfox (Nintendo said no and that was the end of that relationship). That still blows my mind.

Can Ben and Jason me more mindful of mic volumes? He gets really loud and it nearly blew my speakers. Not saying he's annoying but THAT is annoying and avoidable. Thanks.

Are my ears burning? Did the top game of all time, Legend of Legaia, get mentioned? That's a good search result whatever you looked for.

I got really excited when I saw them playing a bit of Remote Control Dandy. I played the shit out of Robot Alchemic Drive on the PS2. Absolutly loved that game glaring problems and all. I honestly think they should play a bit of that game sometime in a video on the site it would definitely make for some fun content especially considering how awesomely bad the voice acting is in that game.

this i love rad i did not know of the ps1 gane til now.

It's kinda funny how they couldn't care less about that nhl demo and quit halfway through.

I played that same nhl demo hundreds and hundreds of times. It restarts after first period but we kept score on paper. It's essentially the whole game just without the ability to change teams, but as a kid we didn't care about the name on the players, we just wanted to play hockey and the teams were even enough.
