Probably recorded when Patrick was at the office a few weeks ago, but embargoed until this week?

sooooo.... Smash Brothers?

Was my immediate association as well. Kinda weird how deeply Jeff seems to hate that franchise when he enjoys something so similar.

He said he was coming back for GOTY deliberations I believe during his podcast if I am not mistaken.

I hate Smash Bros and I am quite fond of this game as well. I have many problems with Smash Bros. that aren't apparent with this game.

I wonder what it must be like to be wrong all the time. I wonder what is must be like to be Brad.

His rhymes are very salty.

Actually, since GZA is a nickname for "The Genius" pronouncing it "Jizza" is totally appropriate.

Now I fear being pulled into one of those "Is it pronounced 'GIF' or 'JIF'" debates.

Worth noting that the music is done by doseone, of cLOUDDEAD and Deep Puddle Dynamics fame.

And I love that fact so much. It's not as though I expected to see his name pop up anywhere near the context of a video game

Also, THEM/Themselves

It's like Jeff ate Ray Narvaez Jr's soul before playing this game.

(And of course, after I submitted this comment, he immediately started loosing xD)

@fisk0: @stimpack: he came back today for GOTY stuff. 11/27/13 is just the most recent build, my version says that too.

by the way, for spawns, you will always come out of one of those 4 holes in the level. keep eyes on those.

At first I wondered why it didn't show onscreen how many bullets you had, but then I realized that, that's actually kind of clever.

The game looks fun, but unpolished. Hard to tell what was going on with the scoring system, I guess you'd have to read the manual.

I'd also love to see more of just two of the GB guys going at it at a time, to see what it's like when it's a little less chaotic.

Looks really fun, but does it have the depth of a Windjammers or Tetris Battle Gaiden? Hopefully it'll be playable at MAGfest.

This is close to how my friends and I would play Smash Bros. Sudden death + stock. As much as I enjoyed the "normal" mode I had more fun playing that way - it put a premium on dodging.

Beat me to it. Ever since I watched this anime, I feel like Hip Hop and Samurais are the most natural things to be combined. It's like Jazz and Space.

I really tried to like this series but for some reason the characters never clicked with me, certainly nowhere close to Bebop.

Add me to the list of people bummed that this game has no online multiplayer. Not only do I not have enough controllers but I don't have the set up and type of friends to get to play this game.

I would have bought it the moment I heard it was out if it had online. Sucks.

Seriously, How many people have multiple 360 PC controllers and a and space set up to play local multiplayer on a PC? Makes no sense.

I haven't even seen this show yet, but my old roommate sold me on it by showing me this opening. Such an awesome song. Not nearly as awesome as Cowboy Bebop's, of course, but it comes closer than I thought possible.

I was about to buy the game right when I saw everyone tweeting that it was out, but was then reminded it's only local mutliplayer... It really bums me out, because I literally have no one to play this with me.

Jeff: " I'm player 3 "

Vinny: " I'm player 4 "

Patrick: " I'm player 1 "

Brad: " .........................Do these guys play any differently "

I know I can figure out which one is Brad, but goddammit this is why you can't lead quicklooks, Brad.

Edit: that ending again i have to say goddammit Brad!

I can't wait to see a Towerfall quick look! I think these two games are really similar and both really good, though by the looks of it, Towerfall seems to be way more polished.

Sadly it won't be out on PC before 2014, maybe get the Ouya out of the closet, as it would seem like a mistake not to have played it for the GOTY deliberations. After all, it is Polygons game of the year;)

Game looks pretty awesome, but a little buggy. And weird that there's so much they don't explain. Sadly I can't see getting 4 people around a PC to play though.

It's great to see local multiplayer still being embraced (brings back some wonderful brother vs. brother memories), but sadly I don't know a lot of people who would come over to play a game like this or Sportsfriends. Sure looks like fun though.

This seems really cool, but at $15, or even the promo price of $12, this seems fairly expensive for a game with such limited scope and productions values. I mean for comparison, that's the same debut price as games like Dust and Brothers.

Yeah. Or, another good example, The Stanley Parable, a game whose reach and scope extends so far out that it's unlikely it's all even been uncovered yet. I could get behind this game for $7.50, but not $15. Sorry, Mr. Temkin and co.

This game looks super rad and I really enjoyed watching them go "One more match!" over and over again but I can already see one serious problem with it, namely the part where I'd have to buy 3 other controllers capable of connecting to my computer if I wanted to play with other humans. Sorry, that's not worth it.

Somebody, anybody, please make a modern Bushido Blade game.

Samurai Gunn looks okay but it seems like the fun will wear out quickly without online multiplayer and a greater variety of game modes. That price point is not enticing for what is being offered.

This reminds me of Hotline Miami in a way. Super fast deaths and bunch of blood. Whoever can get there first and slice wins. I want this but I don't have 4 controllers (or three other local friends that would play).
