Also great Oregon Trail ass fanfare at the end.

I can only imagine that there's hours of rights-free smooth jazz and bluesy rock available to video production.

For a second I thought Vinny was going to say 'the easiest way to test it is a multimeter' but that's very un Giant Bomb.

Recently I started to appreciate doing things with my own hands, making stuff myself. DIY.

I might actually be a Vinny.

I remember there being a video where they bought these cables but I never got round to watching it. Am I imagining things? I can't find it now.

Just a heads up, monoprice quality has been severely lacking lately. I use them all the time for our IT at work and it's just been a fucking disaster in recent months. Probably a 10% fail rate now, which is crazy considering their track record in previous years was stellar.

i giggled every time a guitar riff hit and it said stuff like "going to the kitchen area, with vinny caravella" i would love this to become a full fledged feature and have that kind of nonsense in every episode.

i love you giant bomb.

Only a minute in and already I must say; Drew, you the man.

edit: Also, I just realized that I would totally pay for a site dedicated to handsome men making cables. A bit niche, but I think it could work.
