It's probably been said before, but Mike Mika looks like an incredible Ryan-Jeff hybrid.

Also I love seeing Patrick and Jeff hanging out together again!

Perfect example why i would not want to be in the business of reviewing games. How could you not give 10's after listening to these developers?

Nothing says "cool" quite like QR codes on your t-shirt.

Look, I'm not saying anything here, but I'm just saying...

I published this video 534 days before this other so-called "red block game".

@cashbailey: I'd never thought that about Jeff before, ever, until the BG pic for this story. I thought, briefly, that Doug Benson was playing video games. And you're right, it all comes from the shape/texture/mouth feel of his beard.

Dave Lang has a "you're on camera" utility on his iPhone that buzzes when someone is shooting a segment intro behind him.

Wow - Jeff and Patrick each interviewed their look-a-likes. Also, Lang is awesome.

I'm actually interested in all three of these games.

It's good to see Jeff having so much fun !

Yeah its always good to see them out and about. I think they need to do much more of this (of course it always helps when there is a big event right in your town) But they also need to get regular special guests on the Bombcast. Having Dave Lang and John Drake on the last few weeks has really freshened up the show - it adds new perspectives and stops the guys getting into a routine.

When Jeff is truly enthusiastic or passionate he is one of the most interesting, knowledgeable and compelling speakers in the games media, but he needs events and people to bring this to the surface sometimes. This is no criticism in particular, we all need stimulating events or conversation to bring us to our best, it just seems as if the Bombcast has been lacking in this a little over the last few months.This was an excellent video.

That limo game looks like it has some potential, it reminds me of the janky silliness of Octodad in a way

The kinect platformer will either really suck or be really great. It seems like a well of endless ideas for puzzles, similar to how time manipulation was in Braid. I'm looking forward to it, I just can't remember the name because someone rectally violated my brain.

Why is Jeff not wearing a QR code?!

edit: best start! Also, what about #DRIVECLUB?

The game is not called #Driveclub, just Driveclub.

Kudos Giant Bomb on such a great in the field video segment. Also I'm still feeling the effects of the Lang Zone stare and I'm loving it.

Kate Welch was born to be an FMV star. Roundabout will be a day one purchase for me.

That Fru game looked like a legitimately neat use of the Kinect.

Yeah, that kind of less-demanding controller/Kinect integration is exactly what the Kinect should be. With a little polish and fleshing out of the mechanics, it looks like it could be good fun. His idea about multiplayer Fru sounded bonkers, too. I hope that game goes places.

Fru looks like a neat idea and one of the better uses of Kinect I've seen. Roundabout looks like such a laugh and the FMV gives it a great charm.

The first game didn't look all that great.

Wow, Fru looks kind of awesome and that's coming from somebody who considers Kinect mostly a gimmick. But Fru looks like it's making pretty cool use of the Kinect and it's actually a really simple idea o_O

Wha.. what happened? The last thing I remember is Dave Lang staring at me, and now I'm in a Taiwanese dumpster wearing a leisure suit and a gimp mask.

While the video was great, I don't really know about any of these games...is the quality of indie getting lower?

Man, Medibot is gonna be in Roundabout? He was pretty funny during AGDQ, and I almost want to get Roundabout just to see what his part in it is like.

Also, Lang is a seriously scary guy.

I like that "morality platformer" is a term now.

Like "Oh, it's a game from people who can't really make graphics and mask their talent by pretending to be artsy" = "Morality Platformer"
