I think you mean, "Finally, a non-AAA quick look video on Giant Bomb without Patrick Klepek? What?"

I know I'll never get the quest, that is the tragedy of my life.

Might get this, I'm in a musical mood as of late.

What the...

What?

oh goddamnit i've stayed up long enough that i'm into the next days quick looks. time for bed.

...after this quick look.

THE PRELUDE TO WAKEUP CLUB Y'ALL!

Noo, why the hell is there no camera on the guy what is playing :( These kinect/move quick looks are not the same without it.

loop it baby

loop it good

This is kind of umm...weird?

Here's a game where you play around with 3 similar sounding songs for an hour. This would have been a lot better if they actually put some effort into it and had selections in rhythm, lead, etc. Instead they all sound the same.

Holy compression artefacts, Batman!

Yo DJ Jeff is in da PixelJunk!

Yo, got some mad kudos man!

Wow, the video compression is really bad, and I downloaded the HD video to watch elsewhere. Surely, it is the fault of the game.

So the new video player is either having massive issues with the amount of motion happening, or there is something crazy going on with the encoding.

Regardless, that looks crazy.

Too early in the morning for trippy visuals and techno. Have to say, looks kinda cool tho.

Silver trophy for starting the game? Sweet!

I can't get interested in this....

Video codecs aren't usually built to handle complex patterns like you see in these visualizers. It's not really the "fault" of the game or the codec -- it's just the way they interact.

So you just listen to music on your TV while waving your remote around?

Oh god why did I try to watch this hungover

This really would have been much better if they filmed themselves waggling...

TECHNO WOMB

Welcome to Pixeljunk games. I enjoyed Eden but.. it was weird.

Oh boy!, the video compression on this video.

Maybe it's a good idea to film Jeff waving the Move controller too.

Guess someone was bored at PixelJunk & talked a producer into making this. Think that if I want to play with music I'll just go with audiosurf instead. This seems like an interesting way of using the move controls, unless it's free, there's probably going to be a small number of people buying it once they realize what it is.

I'll stick to Cubase 6.5

I am tripping balls bro.

There's also a constant stream going here.

The sound of each song shifts and changes, plus Jeff had a limited selection of song types. More get unlocked as you play.

"Fuuuull control, Jeff?"

Cracked me up for some reason.

I'll show you my PixelJunk at 4 AM, girl.

The Wakeup Club does not wake before 6am

I laughed at Jeff telling Ryan to shh because he was feeling it

Love the way Americans say Durham, Nottingham, etc. You turn me on, Jeff.

I'll never understand abstract music generators. Instead of wasting time mastering a simulation experience, invest in some equipment and learn to do the real thing.

$9.99 seems kind of pricey for what this is unless there is hidden depth. I'd definitely get this just to mess around with if it were cheaper.

@sub_o: Pretty sure they still don't have a proper camera. They've done it in the past, I'm sure once they have the means they will.

Just stop trying. It'll happen. I got it by accident with a long answer to an article. Guess it must have been posted in the off hours or something.

Your own personal QL, what a special moment!

The Power of the Internet.....

And it does seem simplistic, kind of neat.

Is it just me or have videos been loading slow lately? With just about every video I have to pause and let it buffer for a bit even though my internet connection is more than capable of streaming 720p.

But I'm doing the morning shift this week man. You can't kick me out of the Wakeup Club like that.
