I Love Mondays - 07/09/2012

It's a lazy, lazy Monday.

@BlackLagoon: I'd really like to see what that game is all about.

Some summer days with no video games. :(

I would really like to see Brad do a solo Quick-Look of Slender. Lights out, headphones and everything all spooky.

You know what Monday's, I'm not feeling it like I used to. I don't love you the same way that I once did. We had some good times, and I'm really very sorry. It's not you, it's me. I hope we can still be friends.

Wait, what? You heard I've been hanging around town with Friday, Saturday, and Sunday? That's not true. Who told you that? Was it Wednesday? Don't listen to her, she's a lying vindictive bitch. And she's always been jealous of you. She is probably just trying to get under your skin. Don't fall for it. You're better than that.

I'm going to say it again: Pokémon Conquest.

I know I can just go to YouTube to check it out, but I'd like to hear the GB crew's opinion on it.

I've been reading an article by Tim Rogers talking about EarthBound, and it was pretty great. They should just play EarthBound for no other reason than that it's better than any of the games they're talking about in this video IMO.

was he playin MOTHER 2 on a SUPER FAMICOM (superior Japanese name for a "Super Nintendo") on his bigscreen 72 incher while reading a MANGA (Japanese word for comic book) and eating a vegan burrito

And the rest of the week!

I always sing that to myself on mondays these days, since Giantbomb wont do it for me.

The intro/style of mondays needs to be brought back.

I think the best idea would be to take the old school intro (which I still love) and put it before video style such as this. Best of both worlds.

This. Use the old intro, which everybody loves, and replace the phone cam with a decent GoPro cam and use the existing video style. So @drewbert and @Jeff , how many votes do you guys need to make this happen?

We out.

I hope they do Rainbow Moon, that game needs coverage.

+1 for Endless Space quick look.

Just because you can look up puzzle answers on the web doesn't mean you should.

Are you trying to say that Tim Rogers is a pretentious twat? Because yes.

Does that even qualify as 4X?

Civilization is like, the poster child for 4X ಠ_ಠ

Neverdead TNT. Make it so, Jeff!

Am I alone in thinking that a Quicklook of Endless Space would be more entertaining the worse it goes? Dive in blind!

That copy of Pokemon Conquest has been sitting on someones desk for the better part of a month. Seems like it's ripe for something by now.

Hope we get to see a little of Endless Space. I've been looking for a good spacey 4Xer since Master of Orion 2, and for one reason or another much of the stuff I've played since just hasn't stuck the way MoO2 did. GalCiv wasn't bad, and Sword of the Stars was okay, but I'm always on the hunt for something to live up to MoO. So come on, Brad! Let's get Endless up innis Space, son!

@GeneralZod37: I feel your pain man, I clarified my post to avoid further confusion.

I like to imagine this as if Brad and Jeff were sitting on their stoops in their neighborhood on a quiet summer afternoon, with Drew being the guy across the street.

VITA game quicklooks would be nice

DO IT!

QL the Space Engine.

Please no Shootmania TNT

For the record, the Shootmania beta is complete garbage...at least right now.

I audibly groaned when he said that, and I'm sad that no one's mentioned it except you.

Rainbow Moon Quick Look would be cool.

This seems like a good month to catch up on some of my Backlog.

ENDLESS SPACE

Slender Quick Look please!

I wish I could do as little and take as many days off as these guys do.

How about a QL of Blacklight: Retribution? I know the game came out in April but it's picked up a lot momentum since its release on Steam. I've been playing it for about a week and it's awesome yet no one on GB seems to be playing it looking at its wiki.

I hope Patrick is doing ok, or doing ok enough giving the situation.

XBLA grab bags are always me sitting at my TV for an hour with my laptop but then even when I do have the game, I never get to play because I'm in the UK.

Heard Rainbow moon is pretty cool. Maybe QL that

The doldrums of summer are the perfect time for Giant Bomb original content. Start an endurance run. Have Ryan review a movie. I don't care, just stop wasting time covering shovelware, demos, and dlc.

Yeh I do wonder what these guys actually do all day. It just seems like the amount of content that comes out isn't proportional to a full week's work. And they always talk about how tired they are and all that. I know the video side of things takes a lot of work, so I imagine Vinny and Drew are always busy with that stuff, but the rest of them I dunno.

I really do wish they would put out a lot more premium content though.

Neverdead Quick Look!

Brad & Jeff could be doing a Quick Look of DayZ patch 1.7.2 ... but will never happen?

Endless Space is actually fairly intuitive. I have only played a few hours of it but it seems a lot like a Civilization game set in space with a very open tech tree.

Please, please do a Neverdead Quick Look, playing as a rolling head for the entire time would be cool too

I love Brad <3

i would love an endless space quick look!

ENDLESS SPACE

do a quick look of FTL... if you can!

Magicka should get a TNT in my opinion but Spelunky is also a good choice.

44 GoPros! Hot damn!

It's been a while since you did an Iron Brigade TNT. Just sayin'. Iron Brigade, still fun to play after all these months. Isn't it about 1 year old now? Anniversary Iron Brigade TNT. Call it Trenched all you want, no one will mind.

Find that cable and do a Quick Look of Corpse Party on the PSP.

Indeed it would, unfortunately Jeff hates having to record someone playing the Vita, so they won't do it until they get some way to capture the video directly (which would currently mean Sony giving them a Vita devkit).
