Dave has a beautiful home.

The only good thing about this half-arsed coverage is the new-found prevalence of Drew and Dave.

That's not entirely wrong. We've had a long run with too little of those guys...

Man, that house is baller.

Videogames.

Chili.

Dave's house.

I can't believe that it took this long.

He loves Stalin?

I had to look up HOTAS to see what it meant, because I was really confused by the title of this video.

(Hands On Throttle And Stick, BTW)

You mean like they very clearly pronounce and define in the video?!

"Ah son of a... whore"

Dave's kitchen is making me rethink my life.

well, no need for me to send my jar question in now: "any chance there will be more goofy videos like the one you used to do in the early days of Giant Bomb" keep em coming:)

they're doing the podcast there too? awesome! I wonder what happened at the office.

edit: also I demand a drew and dave show NOW, only those two. Flight stuff all the way!

:o Shadow Brad.

@xMrSunshine: Haha they will die forever and ever

I am glad I am a paid subscriber. There's a feeling of closeness just by watching this.

oooo Blade Runner poster !

Also what's that keyboard ? Looks cool !

Is everybody drinking root beer, or just plain beer (lager/pilsner) without the root? Considering the warm hearts and cheer, I guess the latter. : )

Great, but 10 minutes? This could've been a 3 hour videogaming-chili-eating-extravaganza!

edit: Okay, apparently there's more stuff coming up. :D

Nice house duder! Super swank!

Man, Dave has a really nice house.

ugh now I want food.

This stuff is great! Dave's house? :)

Why are they all at Dave's house?

Why are they at Dave's place? Why is it chili day? So much mystery!!

Day two here makes me wonder too if they are having exterminators/painting/rewiring or some other work done at the GB office.

I want some chili

This video shows one of the many reasons I love this website!

This is all leading up the new Whisky Media Chilli site isn't it? It's ok, we've all been waiting for it long enough.

I demand an explanation for this awesomeness!

Holy shit, I have chilli for dinner tonight!

Why wasn't I invited to this party?!?!

:(

I never have chilli without rice, seems weird to me on it's own.

So this is where they go on their days off.

This made me realize I could go for a Giant Bomb reality show. Not a lengthy one, but yeah, this was sort of cool.

Black Shark 2 Quick Look! If you thought the A-10c was hard to fly....

Chili with beans is an evil, incorrect, bad, terrible desecration of chili. Real chili is meat and spices (onions and garlic are allowed). No beans!

• you too can do this kind of thing with your own friends?!
• ... and if you don't have any - there's a(nother) Giantbomb fan in every city of the world? Just find the cooking & flight-sim type ones :)

Giant Bomb Flight Club - it's official now. Our secret word is: HOTAS.

I want to hang out with you guys sooooo badly

These videos are going to end with a gigantic space monster appearing and wiping out the city.

But seriously... no, I still really want actual content from Giant Bomb this week.

Your mother is a HOTAS!!

Where the fuck are they?

SON OF A WHORE

Where are they? I want dat Evil Dead poster.

:(

No Dorks Allowed!

Thanks for the compliments. It's not really a house, but an apartment that at the moment feels terribly small for Nicole and I considering that we both cook and had to combine two full sized kitchens. Sausalito is a little cheaper than living in the city, but I got lucky with the view and the cabinesque room.

The HOTAS is new. I'd had joysticks before, but as you can tell from our content lately I've gotten a little bit more into sim gaming. Picked up the g940 because I'm a bit of a logitech addict and it's a great setup, but it can be a bitch with older games because it registers as three separate devices. Still, very quality piece of equipment and feels similar to my racing wheel from them.

Dave's Chili recipe

Ingredients

• 3 lbs. ground beef
• 4 anaheim peppers (2 large green peppers can sub)
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 1/2 onions
• 2 small cans sliced jalepeno peppers with juice.
• 2 cans diced tomatoes with juice.
• 2 cans pinto beans.
• 1 cup flour or corn startch
• 1/2 bag pre-shredded blended mexican or cheddar cheese.
• Lemon Pepper, Cumin, Chili Powder, Salt and Pepper to taste.

Directions

1. Cover bottom of large skillet with olive oil, add diced garlic and cook 1 minute.
2. Add beef, separate into fine chunks and add lemon pepper. Cook till brown.
3. Strain beef to remove extra fat, transfer to your crock pot.
4. Dice Onions and Peppers and add to pot.
5. Add, beans, tomatoes and jalepenos to pot with all juices from cans. Add one cup of water using one of the cans.
6. Add a few tablespoons of cumin, chili powder. Usually I use about a third container of each from your normal sized small spice container.
7. Add half a cup of flour to one of your empty cans and fill it with cold water till 3/4th full. Mix with a spoon till creamy then add to pot.
8. Let cook for 90 mins stirring every 30 mins, then repeat last step with more flour if it's not thick enough. Taste and add more chili or cumin as needed.
9. Cook another 60 mins then add two handfuls of shredded cheese and mix into the chili.
10. Cook for 30 more mins then serve with saltines! Enjoy.

I want to kick it with you guys on chili day and play some games. :(

Great video! I want chili and I want to go to Dave's house!

I blame the hat, IF I WERE WEARING A REAL HAT I WOULDN'T HAVE CRASHED

Giant Bomb back in Sausalito!

@snide: So is this the outcome of that time you mentioned everyone just going out and doing something different for a day? You know what, I totally shouldn't question it. Chili is its own master, who am I to try and define it?
