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.

There's unarchived content?!

I hope Giantbomb Unarchived is on the case!

I hope so too, there was no pre-show music, they started out directly with a skype call with drew where they were testing delays and stuff, then they started goofing around in the game while trying different compressor settings, and Vinny did some amazing things during that phase. Pretty sure it was 34 minutes in total they cut out, since there was no pre-show music and my timer was at 34 minutes when they said "I guess this is where we'll start the stream", which they start this video with.

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.

They just need to point a recording camera at him, no matter what he does, it's bound to be good.

@jelyk: I think they've cranked out a lot of content since a few months back now. They're not lagging on Quick Looks at least.

One step closer to regular Gbeast premium content, my body is ready. We all need more Vinny shenanigans than just quicklooks provides.

This just makes me think of how Saint's Row 3 and 4 (and 2...?) allow online co-op for the entire campaign. So, you know.

SR2 is also co-op. I think it's better than 3 and 4 but I'm sure I'm in the minority on that one.

I thought the video looked fine, I'm not quite sure what everyone was talking about on stream. Maybe it's because we're watching the archived version.

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

Yeah the quality really dipped when there was a lot of motion, but its hard to tell if that is far cry or the stream. Far cry used to look like that for me when I played.

The luma range is definitely compressed in this making everything washed out and no blacks. Probably set to use TV levels 16-235. Should always use the full 0-255 and let peoples computers worry about the output levels to their monitor/TV. Seems to be the entire stream not just gameplay since the shadows behind Vinny and Alex are grey and should be black.

@jelyk: Vinny has two young kids and given that he's probably a good husband that tries to share the load with his wife, means that even though he's working hard he probably has to clock out at the end of the day and can't just be in the office until 10pm or something to get everything working quicker.

Yeah, i dont know why they cut the first part since that is the more interesting part, since the other part is just them poorly playing Far Car, which is fine and all but technical stuff is fun too

Vinny and Alex: I'm glad you got your new network up and running. However you could be running the show from a cardboard box and two tin cans with string and it would still be the best damn thing ever! You guys rule.

Every time Vinny is in an open world, I worry that secretly, he is psychotic.

Vinny would make a brilliant tester, always messing with the limits of open world systems. So entertaining to watch.

Vinnie and Drew, the only adults at GB who don't find it necessary to curse every sentence.
