Jeff the undisputed king of this jamming session.

I liked Brads intensity during windjammers. I wish there would be more trash talking during competitive games. Just like at home with my brothers.

I think so too, its clearly a good even great game but it showing up so many times particularly during the 24 hour stream has just worn out my interest in it.

This was a great livestream.

Because he's so damn sexy.

Yeah, I gotta agree with everyone else. Way too much windjammers lately.

Okay, are people seriously criticizing Windjammers?

Shame on you, for attempting to degrade Giant Bomb's national sport.

Nope.

I thought everyone was getting both consoles for work? Does Bradley not have his own PS4 at home?

where is the gamespot guys?

On www.gamespot.com

@humanity: If you mean the "Bite the Bullet" mission, then there are still a whole bunch of missions that unlock after that one.

Yeah, trying to be good at everything means you'll have a lot of trouble getting through the harder missions. I restarted and simply focused on the hacking stuff. Most missions I didn't even need to shoot anyone, because every camera, alarm and turret was disabled.

Also, getting good hacking stuff means you can get a lot of the optional data files, which you can sell for a whole lot of money.

Yah that's the one. I think a restart is necessary because I don't have the firepower to brute force it and my hacking is too weak to disable the alarms. Some of the missions are a bit disappointing in the variety of approaches. From the handful of missions I completed it felt like you almost always get funneled into combat with guards but the hacking stuff is usually optional.

I'm currently re-reading the William Gibson sprawl trilogy and this game is exactly something that I've been thinking about - like why aren't there more games based on his books? The world of Neuromancer, Counter Zero, Mona Lisa Overdrive is amazing. Decks, sim-stims, etc.. He has crafted this amazing world that would lend itself beautifully to a videogame format if only some studio could do it justice. Not a Bethesda game, more like a Witcher.. so maybe that Cyberpunk game those guys announced is going to scratch that itch. Although I'd love to have a game that directly references the books instead of simply emulating them.

I've totally brought up how there should be a Windjammers anime. Just make an over the top sports story where all the characters throw the word "Jamu" into as many sentences and attack names as possible. Jeff is officially too good at that game. It's kind of amazing how I can barely make out Rorie's uproarious laughter over my own. Great video guys. Keep up the good work and have a happy four day weekend.

Lol I watched the whole thing. So good.

Holy cow brad was HOT at the end of that.

I'm digging Brad's outfit in Dead Rising 3.

WIND. JAMMERS.

"Some germany(!) guy is going to watch this later and be so upset" Thanks for the RACISM @rorie!!

I would honestly pay money to see the GB crew play all the stupid ass simulators that exist here in Germany though it probably would get old pretty quick. But seriously...look at this. Why?

I'm not criticizing it, I think it looks like a lot of fun. I'm just kind of burnt out on how much of it there's been the past month.

Freedom isn't free.... it costs a buck o five :P

I was more referring to the designer of the game, but I guess it came out wrong!

I think there just needs to be more on the line, personally. I say the winner has to take a shot of the rubbing alcohol, and the loser and to dick taze themselves with the zapper game. I bet Jeff's streak breaks then.

On a more realistic note, I think the 'I play winner' method works best in arcades. Jeff is kind of leaps and bounds beyond everybody else there, in both Windjammers and fighting games, that it just ends up being everybody v Jeff. I think it'd be more interesting if it were a rotation, or if the loser kept playing until they won. That, or my first idea.

Awww I hope you didn't thought I was serious man. I was just joking.

Haha Brad gets so mad at Windjammers.

I once left a pair of my swimming trunks in a hotel room. Thought they were gone forever. One day I receive a parcel in the mail. They had sent me back my trunks. Best hotel ever. :D

I do hope a Dead Rising 3 + comes to the PS4 at some point in the future. If Mass Effect 1 made its way to the PS3 then anything can happen.

Brad losing his shit at the end of Windjammers happily justified my newly re-upped subscription.

Jeff is The Undertaker of Windjammers

As a German, I for one welcome our new American bus driver overlord, V-Bomb.

There's something about watching the bus driver guy run that reminds me something fierce of Deadly Premonition.

jeff's love for neuromancer just fills me with glee every time. awesome.

hey @vinny or more likely @patrickklepek if you guys haven't already, you should check out Space Funeral. it's a really crazy free jrpg. rps describes it like so:

"...It is Final Fantasy directed by Alejandro Jodorowsky, with disturbed art and awesome music."

it's kinda like Earthbound actually. sort of. kind of.

The most intense jam sesh yet. Jeff is a beast. Never had Brad pegged as the first one to break a controller; seemed at one point during Matt's raging like Jeff didn't want to be in the same room.

Vinny with the choice game yet again. Datajack; objectively better than Brothers. There are 9 other games like this.

Holy shit Vinny's face in the match at 2:22:00 when the cameras come up is so intense. He moves with every shot. I love it.

Coming soon to the Vita, Persona 4 Cricket

See, this is what happens when you privatize public services; Vinn-co puts profit before safety!

OH GOD, ALPACA DREW GEEZUS.

And we have another Unnoffical Breaking Brad! DAT SALT.

Somebody please make a game like Destruction Derby 2.

@machofantastico said:

Nah, it's just being overplayed, s'all. Looks fun to play, and was fun to watch the first, what, two to four hours of content they did on it. But we're approaching "holy shit, enough of this please" territory.

Just like we did with Matt Rorie's "PUPPIEESS"-shtick during happy hours.

Yeah, I SAID IT, IT NEEDED TO BE SAID, THAT HORSE WAS BEATEN TO DEATH AND THEN BEATEN FOR ANOTHER 6 MONTHS.

I'm not kidding.

I will take Windjammers over wrestling trading cards any day of the century...

That said I was nerd raging during the live stream about the terrible video quality of it. However they re-connected the NeoGeo or whatever they have it routing through now makes it look absolutely awful compare to previous streams. It's blurry, washed out, and there's some weird crawling/oscillation; as another user said it looks like a VHS tape and that isn't internet hyperbole. Multiple people reported this during the stream and nothing was done about it (at least not before I got fed up and left). Even Ian (LtSquigs), who was in the chat, remarked about it looking bad (Andy was manning the production booth this time). I'm sure I'm being picky, but I'm only expecting things to work as well as they already have in the past.

And apologies for the further complaining, but I can also hear the high pitched whine others have mentioned. It's been in several video for the last few weeks, especially those from "set". I can mitigate the problem by lowering volume, but then it can be really hard to hear gameplay based on where the mix is typically at. Sounds like electrical interference on one of the mics.

Please play through wind jammers single player mini endurance run to see the puppy!
