Giant Bomb Plays Giant ROM 2017

Cross Coast game extravaganza

AT LAST

I couldn't wait to see the reaction to the Hitman game when I first played it. So godamn funny!

Late night/Early morning Post!

I'm so glad they are finally doing this.

Congrats to everyone! Including Jason and Vinny where having this properly must have taken some time.

Edit: I am sad that the Mario Party game isnt real. Holy shit, HitDuder is great.

Oh this is awesome. I've been waiting for them to look at these games.

YES

Cool to see them play through the games finally. Too bad my game was probably not working for them. Here is a video of the game if some are interested. Obviously Factorio inspired!

Oh man this is great, as a fairly new fan I gotta go back and watch the other Giant Rom jams. So fun!

This is amazing! Huge congrats to Alex Zandra first and foremost if you see this. And well done everyone who submitted. Hitduder a standout so far... i'm about halfway through.

Look forward to this being another yearly thing to look forward to on GB.

Awesome, glad to see them play through these!

Bit of a bummer they didn't show my entry, but what can you do, here's my entry!

Neat. I'll definitely try getting into the next jam.

I made a game for Giant Rom 2 and 3, and I hope they do another stream with the earlier Giant Roms. :) Glad to see they're finally getting to these.

Oooo I've been waiting super patiently for this!

Hitduder contender for Game of the Year 2017.

Doing a thing with everyone is pretty freaking cool.

Oh man. Hitduder was amazing! Great work duders!

Thanks for playing my game, duders! =D

Someone said the link would be in the notes something something

Wow, very impressed by the Hitman FMV game. It was ballsy to make that, considering how tough FMV humor can be. I like that they didn't lean too hard into the "we're trying to make it look accidentally funny because whoops look how bad it is" angle. They made it good in other ways, and most of the humor was well executed. Hell, even the acting was way better than you'd expect, and I can't believe that's a thing I typed about a fan-made FMV game.

That Dan Taco game had St. John's Newfoundland and Labrador as the background.

Ben and Brad are bad at pogs.

Loved that FMV game!

That FMV game was perfect

Abby trying to figure out pogs = excellent

Thank you guys for playing these and thanks everyone for contributing!

Relieved my game wasn't broken and glad they were able to try all the characters. All my time was spent making the sprites and getting the movement to feel right for everyone. Super happy seeing them play it!

All about this is really cool. And that Hitduder game is definitely a standout.

YESSS! All together again! <3

Sucks you guys couldn't get our game Double Duder working, not sure why the browser version broke. There was an exe of it at the bottom of our page that works perfectly however, but I guess the moment has past, oh well.

This. Was. Amazing.

Wow, random Gus Johnson in a Giant Bomb game jam. That's a new one

Bombillas dev here, seeing the crew playing my entry was maybe the best feeling. All the submissions were so great! great work everyone :D

Yeah that's a bummer dude! Double Duder won the jam for good reason, the quality was insane. I highly recommend everyone checks it out.

The browser version crashes after I press enter and I can't try the exe since I'm on a Mac.

Maybe Ben tried them on his Mac first and he had the same problem? I don't know.

Looks really cool on the screenshots though.

Man I wonder what tech they were using to have the two coasts work together. Seemed to have no lag at all, Mixer level. Was really awesome to see, can't wait to see them do more with it.

ayyyyy they played my Virtua[l] Fighter! should have put a prompt to hit ESC, there was a move list in the pause menu (Jeff's teleport is my favorite)

That FMV game should get an award of some sort. Damn that was funny.

Hitduder GOTY contender haha. This is really great, I did not know this game jam was a thing! Hilarious and awesome. Great job to all game creators out there!

I love this fucking website!

Congratulations to everyone who submitted a game (regardless of whether it worked or not)! I find these Giant ROM recaps to be some of the most entertaining videos this site has to offer, and that's almost 100% down to the submissions, so thanks to all the developers, sound artists, composers, videographers et al. out there for your hard work.

Hitduder is magical.

Edit: "Fuckin' Shit Yeah!"

Man, so many talented people - everything was so great and creative.

Hitduder was genuinely hilarious, and I'm a pretty tough crowd.

In a world where Pogs are made from manhole covers...

I love this goofy ass website. You all did amazing work.

sorry you guys couldnt get double duder working!
