I suspect there won't be anything easy about this construction.

Vinny you should play Bridge It instead of this! It's old but way better. You can have trains go across your bridges. Trains!

Trains.

Don't hang out under the bridge downtown. It will collapse right on top of you.

>We don't need this one

The most important part of the bridge. Should've used magnets

I love Vinny.

I'm wondering if Vinnie's colorblindness was keeping him from seeing the stress on the bridges before they were completed.

This is stressing me out more than I expected.

Yup, I thought I knew what I would be in for watching this but the bridge builder in me keeps telling me to kill myself.

I used to play game named Pontifex quite many years ago. It was really fun and addicting game. Interesting to see how this compares to that game. Also I really want to see what kind of bridges Vinny is going to make...

Fuck yes, Pontifex!

When the amazing V Bomb landed those 2 cars on their tips, well I hear Heart's "Magic Man" kick in. Vinny colors outside the lines man. Love it.

Glad I'm not the only one who came here to mention that game. Didn't that actually have a first person view, too?

This entire thing started from West Pointe's Bridge Design contest that they hold every year.

More fun program as the physics in it are wonky as shit. Also, it's free.

I would totally be up for seeing this on Unprofessional Fridays anyway. Vinny plus bridges seems to be some sort of magical equation.

I wish this game existed back in high school when I was taking computer drafting classes. We had a striped down version of this game that we were tested on for bridge making physics. Each test was pass or fail based on if the truck made it across the bridge without it collapsing. Very stressful.

Great quick look. Makes me want to get a bridge simulator game to screw around with. Not sure if that will be this one, though.

VinCo: Our bridges only go one way because that is the only way you need to go. You want sweet jumps.

I'm loving all the Alexis and Drew on content lately - the last bombcast is one of the best episodes I've heard in 3 years. I'll admit that back when Alexis was getting his "sea legs" at being a personality he was awkward and kind of dull, but he seems to be picking up the same groove Drew's been getting lately.

GB never stops being rad.
