On The Green With Sim Golf - Part 2

Yes! Never even knew there was such a thing as Sim Golf until these videos.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that developed this weird desire to play Sim Golf again recently... Too bad it's so damn hard to find.

This just sold me a copy of Sim Golf

Audio Lag. Not sure if it is just this one or the other one as well, but definitely this one has audio lag.

Why do so many posted Giant Bomb live archives have such terrible audio lag? I don't mean that in a trite way - I seriously just don't understand it.

Okay, it seems to clear up after initial hiccups. At least, it does on my downloaded version of the video.

FUCK YES!

I LOVE YOU GIANT BOMB!

If you're having audio issues, VLC has a delay thing that will let you sync up the audio and video pretty well. Unfortunately those who are not premium members can't download the videos to do that.

But I'm with you @Scotto all these issues with video uploads make me sad. Someone hold me.

@Scotto: streaming it, haven't noticed any issues at all

This game really needs to be on Steam.

Going to find a copy of SimGolf now.

Oh man, totally going to go find my simgolf CD now.

this should have been the most boring thing to have watched........ but i totally want to play this game now

Bravo GB

also this should really come to ipad.

Fuck I just realized this was the first Sid Meier game I ever played....

That was the best ending in the history of ending making.

I can't believe it.. this game looks incredible.

i can only talk for myself. but there is no audio lag granted im only 43min into this one.

not even on my crappy laptop that can barely run a youtube vid in 320p without lagging.

without knowing whats wrong try a different resolution or maybe its some software creating the problem?

Jeff's beautiful legs!

I am lucky a friend just so happens to still own a Sim's Golf disc. Hopefully, it will not take much hassle to get it up and running.

@Grillbar: I only watched the first few minutes so I am not sure if it maintains throughout.

I may have only played the demo, but I loved that demo. Just kept on playing it over and over.

Jeff's perfectly smooth and shiny legs....always a treat to behold. True premium content right thur.

this.

edit: actually it's ok after a while

That may the best ending yet! Props to you Drew!

man i am so stoked that giant bomb exists

Great show! On top of all the fun times with the game you rounded it all out perfectly with the outstanding interview to start and obviously the well-timed ending as well.

Another great show. I certainly wouldn't be opposed to a follow-up.

So I signed up and became a paid member purely for this. I loved Sim Golf. Going to break it out now.

Just boot up your windows 95 PC and run that DOS command.

I just finished watching almost 3 hours of someone else playing Sim Golf, and yet I still want more? What's wrong with me?!

ALT+F4 to rotate camera LOL! Imagine what would have happened to the live show if Ryan had listened to Patrick's "sound" advice.

Great job getting Sid on the phone, was a great interview, though I was massively bummed that EA own all those sweet franchises. Alpha Centauri is my all time favourite game.

Dude, the game is from 2002, Windows XP was already out for a year when this came out.

"My shoe-nose!" What is it that the sprites are saying there??

Great conclusion. The Alt+F4 joke is timeless.

Fuckin Zeke. What a piece of shit.

It's just the "Simlish" jibberish from the Sims games - they are saying "Mashuno!", if you wanted to sound it out exactly.

This game needs an HD re-release on Steam. That, or they need a "Black Mesa"-style redo by a fan, since EA are unlikely to put the game on Steam, or anywhere really. I've still got my disc, and the game still looks decent, but the lack of widescreen is a huge bummer.

This game, Theme Hospital, and Transport Tycoon were my entire life for a while.

Who wears short shorts? Jeff wears short shorts!

Man its kinda fucked that there is no easy digital way to get this game. Only things that sell it are ebay and third party sellers on amazon. EA has been pretty bad about getting their relatively recent back catalog out digitally.

I just watched like 2 hours of this and I'm not ready for it to be over. Also, I think this sold me on XCOM

Welcome to the joke. Thanks for coming.

The sound/music in this game is tremendous. CHARGE!

I never get tired of hearing Jeff reminisce about his prior Fight Club-esque living situation. Cracks me up each time.

I know, right?

Dammit, now I have to play this for the next 2 weeks. Sorry X-com.

Also, I think the electricity sound is the sound of the upgrade groundskeepers getting rid of weeds.

Bwa ha! ya haa! huhahahahaaa!

Watching this is driving me crazy. I want to rip the controls away from Ryan and start landscaping. Those trees need to be over there! That driving range is facing the incorrect direction! That snack bar is situated all wrong! :)
