VinnyVania: Castlevania - Part 01

The ending to this is fantastic. I highly recommend it.

Holy hell!! Loving all this brand new stuff!

Oh man, why did I see the thumbnail just when I'm about to leave the house...can't wait to watch this later on!

@shotodrag: Sadly, it's more of an improvised chat test before they get into the Live GDC Shows. Still, GiantBomb's tests are more entertaining than some websites' actual content.

THIS IS SO GREAT!

oh this is fantastic

The real Castlevania starts here.

Whoa, when did this show?!

EDIT: And how am I supposed to download my GOG purchases while I'm asleep if I watch this while falling asleep?

EDIT AGAIN: I've never played any Castlevania, but this looks like some high-level play.

AND EDIT AGAIN: Oh, and:

THAT'S THE WRONG KEY, IT'S THIS

*sings completely incorrect melody*

I know NOTHING of Castlevannia. This is gonna be awesome.

Would Rorie pet a puppy if it were wearing a cute little Apple sweater?

that is heartbreaking

VINNY VINNY VINNY VINNY VINNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

funny how they were asking about the world record when they watched funkdoc's run on youtube during a UPF!

now this is what i call PREMIUM content!

35:20, With Dave Lang in town Vinny uses BatTech®!

Wait, when the hell did this happen? Oh well, more stuff for me to watch!

I love that music. Also that "smart bomb" sound effect is rad as hell.

Castlevania 1 WR is 11:48.54 by kissmyafrocard. link

Shock! Where did this come from?!

Great content either way! Thumbs up (and a brohoof for good measure).

This is pretty much amazing.

That audio did sound like a PC crash. If they are using an emulator I don't really blame them though considering how hard it is to get good audio and video out of a NES.

Surprise ongoing feature is the best. Love this site.

Oh man I definitely approve of this.

This dude knows what's up.

The ending was amazing live. Also the chat kinda held up near the end. Granted I couldn't post a message because of server load but it didn't kick me out.

Oh man, I loved the old Castlevania games.

And the music is just fantastic, especially Castlevania II's music is nearly perfect.

WHAT. How... when did this happen?

OH MY GOD, YES!!!

@mikelemmer: Well, it IS part 01 ;)

@drpotato It happened yesterday without it being on the schedule. It was more a chat test than anything else I think.

Is Vinny the Castlevania editor for Giant Bomb?

I did not see this coming, and it was a real plesent surprise. Keep the kickass content rolling, duders!

MORE LIKE VINNY MANIA!

Something not Dark Souls related?

Yes please!

I think you meant Castlevinnia.

@amyggen: Part two is the Dark Souls 2 check up

One question: Why not CastleVinny-ia?

OH MAN! I did not see this coming!

I can't wait to start watching!

Love it, can't wait to see more :D :D

Is it bad that I pay more attention to Brad just shutting Matt down every time he talks? These guys are funny together.

Castlevi- oh that was already suggested. What about Caravani- oh that one was done too. What about... Castlevella...?

yay, content.

Listening to Matt talk about Dark Souls comments make me feel some of the joy in his life evaporated into the ether at some point.

edit: wow, what a sad way to be forced to end the thing.

so you stopped making endurance content and than made up new content like braking brad and this and technecly avoiding calling it endurance runs and lock it behind a paywall that is srsly not cool. I mean im subscribed either way but making basicly endurance runs and calling it something else so you can lock it up behind a paywall is not cool

OH NO! That ending is heartbreaking. Hope to see more, was looking forward to this feature since Vinny mentioned it.

@dollster85: It's also so people don't have silly expectations of it being put out every single day.

And having content that people really want behind a paywall, so that people actually pay for stuff they enjoy, is not a bad idea.

Old cart versions also had issues with crashing due to dusty connectors. Bumping the console often resulted in the sound-loop of death. But yeah, save states and the cleanliness of the feed - they were definitely playing on PC.

Man, this stream felt way longer than an hour when it was happening, for some reason.

The sound effects in this game are so damn satisfying.
