Quick Look: Of Orcs and Men

lol at jeffs old jewish guy rant.

That Oboth guy has such a silly voice.

Jeff + Vinny + a game = gold.

That's not how orks talk.

Racist.

I think I'll check this out during a Steam sale. Thanks for the QL duders!

Jeff needs to do more of that accent.

Wow, they really just literally copy-pasted orcs into their Game of Thrones RPG. All the assets look IDENTICAL. All the UI looks IDENTICAL.

Oh man, I lost my shit at the Inquisition joke non delivery ;D

The next Best of Giant Bomb quick looks is gonna be filled with Vinny and Jeff

The orc/goblin dialogue won me over, i've been itching for at least a passable rpg for a while.

well shame the game looks like crud. Perhaps at 20 bucks i could forgive the bland combat and god awful voice acting but at 40 I would be insane to give my money to this game. I really do like me some fantasy RPGs. Oh well.

Is "peevish" a good word to describe Jeff's accent in this video game quicklook? I don't know how to describe this accent to someone without them hearing it.

It reminded me of Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny. So...New York? Or Boston?

Jewish person from Long Island is the only way to describe that accent.

The Jeff and Vinny QL's are my favorite. They make lunch the best time of the day!!!

The opening of this perfectly sums up my thoughts on why Vinny is awesome.

I wanted to see the daggers!

Aaaaaaaaaand gigantic orc ass right out of the gate. Who didn't see that comin'?

So this game isn't perfectly polished, but it costs less than retail, and that's a bad deal according to Jeff? I dunno, the game doesn't seem amazing by any stretch but I guess I am more tolerant of the odd bug than some others.

Ooh, does this also say "a game by spiders" when you boot the game, like Faery: Legends of Avalon did?

That game sure had a certain "homemade" feel to it, and while this one looks a bit more... um... professional-ish, I'm not sure selling it as a full price retail game on consoles is a smart move.

Use these daggahs to get yourself a cold cut combo.

And now we all know what Vinny does in his spare time, alongside practicing his excellent Ryan Davis impression.

it's not great but the VA seems passable at least.

god awful I reserve to star ocean 4

Judging by the look and interface of this I immediately thought this had to be from the guys who did either that LotR game or the guys who did the Game of Thrones game. Turns out it's the latter.

A shame the controls and systems look messy, because I sort of like the idea of a dark fantasy story with orcs and goblins as the focus rather than men - judging by the title this isn't that either though.

Funny as hell; but they REALLY didn't do this game justice.

Is this from the same company that made the Game of Thrones game? Looks pretty damn similar. Voice acting's at least a bit better than the GoT game.

More Vinny and Jeff. @Droop said:

And the one after that, and the one after that. Hopefully!

New York Jew.

I thought it was Brooklyn.

This doesn't seem like a great game but it seems to have some charm.

#teamjeffandvinny for life

@pornstorestiffi: No just a green Austrian Orc.

The best part of that intro, is definitely Vinny's smooth ass scatting, electric bass porn music style.

lots of PC games show the mouse cursor when you're using a gamepad. I learned to just move the mouse cursor to the bottom right hand of the screen and then it doesn't show up anymore.

I think Brooklyn is in New York.

I think I read that somewhere.

Been playing this for 8 hours. The game is really, really boring. It's not bad, it's just one note and very basic.

Is Jeff's accent a mid-fifties New York Jewish man who is from Boston at the same time?

My god this game looks horrible.

...I don't think I've ever seen Vinny sell most of his inventory before...wow..

Jeff and Vinny bringing their A-game today, lol.

"A lot of people are getting hard-ons."

-dialogue from Of Orcs and Men.

The combat system looks very similar to the Game of Thrones RPG, which Cyanide also developed.

He sounds like Scott Aukerman's Cake Boss character to me.

Why hasn't Jeff been hired as a voice actor yet??

One of the greatest intros to a QL ever.

I live in New York and I can confirm that Brooklyn is indeed in New York.

I'm sorry, but I think we need someone who lives in Brooklyn to confirm this. It's the only way to be sure.

You mean Paul F. Tompkins' Cake Boss.

Whoops! Quite right!

It's Moe from the Simpsons!

Oh You silly folks, I meant I thought the accent was Brooklyn, or at least 30's gangster New York.

That is one of the greyist colored games i've seen in a very long time.

This sure is one Cyanide-looking Cyanide game. Really reminds me of their Game of Thrones game.
