Nooooooooo!!

lol, not a fan of that dude or something?

This is the greatest thing. There is nothing more pure in this world than Vinny's love for Sleeping Dogs.

Eh, not in particular. You're just right. They've been over that shark for a while now.

I would settle for a mission in the next Sleeping Dogs where the only objective is to pick up the purse.

As absurd and potentially great as Vinny based DLC would be, I would think they probably just want to invite him to see their next game or some other normal boring industry business. Or maybe buy him a cake as thanks for all his coverage of their game.

Since I didn't see anyone ever reply:

Brad bless you good sir.

Vinny DLC incoming.

Black t-shirt DLC?

Sleeping Dogs 2 police radio broadcast about famed crime lord Maximiliano Caravella?

edit: Still have no idea why those Art game guys sent the game loaded with a drawing of Brad. Was Brad the first person to play the game on a Happy Hour or Live Show? Didn't it turn out that Vinny was actually the most artistic staff member?

i believe it was a case when the game is sent to a specific reviewer, they preloaded their ds cart with a drawing of them ( as one of the guys from kotaku had the same style drawing done)

This is amazing!

Hey, Sleeping Dogs, get in line. I too want to get in touch with Vinny and I've been waiting for almost a decade.

I know. So why did they specifically send it to Brad, is what I'm asking.

i believe it was said a while ago that brad is like their PR guy for giantbomb, in that he make sures games arrive at the office and stuff.

Sold.

"Go pickup the TNT. A guy named Vinny has it."

id pay 2-3 bucks for either one of these.

Would be just incredible if they got Vinny in on some DLC!

I would gladly buy a Vinny Sleepy Dogs DLC, this shit needs to get made.

Just got a pm back from the staff, they said they are well aware and to stay tuned

:OOO

That would be amazing if something came of this, come on Vinny you know you want to get involved in Sleepy Dogs!

Fuck yeah!

Happy times!

Fantastic

to pick back up where we left off :P

, i did pm the staff about this, and they have said they are well aware of this, and to stay tuned! :o

@mrfluke: Hey, yeah that was me who got in contact alright! Who knew a simple Tweet would be so well received! We wanted to wait until the last Quick Look went online before reaching out to The Man so as to respect his journalistic independence. We're in conversation at the moment and I'll pop by here if/when we have something to share :)

I just saw this and it just makes me smile for the possibilities.

@monkeythumbz: sleepy dogs is one of my favorite games now if your gonna do some thing with vinny in it, it will be the bestest game of all time. plus please give him some dialog vinny style.dont hold him back just let him go with it

AWESOME!, Vinny is regarded my many as the favorite staff member, and the videos with him just having fun with your guys game is regarded as some of the best content on GB, very awesome to hear you guys understand how these guys roll as well. really hope something comes out of your conversation with the staff.

also if i may humbly make a suggestion in the event that you guys are working on another open world china based action game for possible next gen systems ;) ,

i hope you guys evolve the melee combat in your games to this levels of awesome, as playing sleeping dogs, the fighting in that game is so satisfying that imo evolving it to this degree seems like the next step.

Did we ever get a followup to this? What was the plan?

shhhh...
