Quick Look: GBEast Big Network Test!

A GBEASTLY VIDEO

VINNY

this is what i needed

So sad they cut the first 34 minutes off :/ The moment Vinny jumped out of the helicopter mid air thinking X was the descend button was pretty damn funny, and they didn't keep it in.

Only 6 minutes before he cooked the grenade off in his hand. I love you Vinny.

Huh???

SWEET!

The framerate on this is smoother than when I watched it live.

Oo, does this mean cross-country quick looks are on their way?!

oh god, the grenade cooking...hahahahahahaahahaha. oh man I wish I had seen the live stream, tho this is glorious.

Vinny is the most A.D.D. gamer I've ever seen

didnt seem to be any visible lag between drew and vinny. Very promising!!!

This was awesome! Can't wait to see more Vinny+Alex streams.

Rock on, you have broken the code!

Does this mean that a cross continent podcast or UPF would be possible?

That's Pagan's stronghold? Man... I was picturing something a bit more... not tiny.

Also, I should finish FC4 someday. Great game.

Vinny, you Take My Breath Away

Oh cool, it picked up right where I was when @edgework too the stream down.

Thanks, Rick!

"No, Vinny, NO! Goddamnit!"

- Alex, the mom

Vinny on Bombcast over Skype plz. PLZ.

This stream was classic Vinny.

@shagge: Pagan doesn't live there. The fortresses are just glorified outposts. The actual end game battle takes place in the much larger area.

Playing games with Vinny looks infuriating.

Note to self: Never trust Vinny with a grenade in a foxhole.

Even if you are not showing symptoms of an SD stream, you could still be contagious.

Probably not quite as good as the last big live live show. But I'd buy a sub for it.

Still awaiting proper weekly content from GBE; a year later and they're still doing 'Test' stuff.

Okay, that was fun.

I know, I just figured his would be a bit more palatial than the average outpost. Although the fortresses are a bit of a letdown on the whole... they made it sound like they'd be extremely hard and balanced for co-op, but they're really not that much more challenging than a particularly tricky normal outpost.

plz more collab with the mothership and GBEAST

There's unarchived content?!

When you don't have time to watch all the new GB videos there suddenly is soooo much content to catch up on.

is @vinny humming Take My Breath Away?

sweet. final test complete. looking forward to GBEast streams!

I hope Giantbomb Unarchived is on the case!

the visual quality of the video seems very low. it looks closer to 480 than 720. the colors seem dull as well. overall it's kind of fuzzy and muddy. that comment about finding better quality on a random twitch stream is accurate. the video is very smooth though. please keep testing. i'm sure you guys will figure out how to pump out higher fidelity video

the quality of the actual gameplay is through the roof, as per usual. i've really missed open world vinny shenanigans. hopefully this signals the beginning of regular GBEast live content

Vinny messing around in an open world, always just the best.

@bearfield: I have it. It will be up on QLCrew later today along with the chat archive.

EDIT: Here are the streams with the chat archive.

And this is just the unarchived part:

They really should put up stuff even before it's working. I know people enjoy watching that live, so if you don't or can't see it live, you lose some good moments.

This was a wonderful mess, from the unarchived beginnings right up to the end.

Hopefully this really was the last test stream though, and we can now expect more regular live stream goodness from GBeast.

I'll always remember the 'Cross Country Skype Routing' with Drew.

This makes me so excited for future GB East/West live stream shenanigans. Glad to see Skype working out so well.

How long has it been since "GBeast" was formed, a year? Would be nice to get some interesting content from them before 2025. I realize they've had some crazy shit going on with their office space, but why these guys can't each pop out a 20 minute Encyclopedia Bombastica a week about a game they love from their past, or a bi-monthly 30 minute podcast about some of the big news that happened recently (Kojima leaving, Nintendo mobile, etc) is bewildering.

God I need more Vinny in my life. It really sucks that he's stuck just doing Quick Looks for the past year. Just sit him down in front of a computer running windows 95 and nothing but good things can happen.

Vinny is the best at video games.

THANKS, RICK!

(I don't know who Rick is.)
