Random PC Game: Burn: Cycle

this day in giant bomb history!!!

love to explode my eyes!

This is my favorite Giantbomb Video

@cbarnes86: thank you for this magical wonder.

Thanks, CD-I stream. I forgot how glorious this was.

Welcome, duders, to the first of TWO VIDEOS featuring Burn:Cycle on giantbomb.com. What a world we live in.

@turboman: I actually had these moments picked out in anticipation of sending them to you but got lazy halfway through and never went through with it until i saw your recent video. There are some really great moments all around in the random pc game videos.

@professionlol: I was actually going to do one for these soon. thanks!

@turboman 13:14, 16:07, 16:33, 17:40, 18:45, 22:15, 28:58, 32:00, 32:33, 34:44, 36:10, 40:42, 45:29, 56:22 (and choice moments until 57:43), 1:11:28, 1:16:39, 1:17:40. good luck on the studies!

Watching this tonight (or early morning...) to say farewell to 2013, and the ups and downs that came with it.

Probably gonna be the last time I visit the site for this year, considering I'll probably be rather busy 'til January.

Rest in peace, Ryan.

I feel like I knew you way more than I should, but I certainly wish I got to know you more.

DONT MOCK THE CLOCK!

Oh Ryan. We will miss you going "ohh..!" every time a game starts hitching up.

I love Ryan's enthusiasm in this, especially when that dude kills vinny out of nowhere.

Oh man, Ryan is on this one :(. Too many orders and complaints and facts I don't care about (sorry, just my opinion, don't mean to be a jerk, even if I am). Maybe I'll come back to this later. Please leave it to just Dave and Vinny (perhaps Drew) for Random PC Game videos. Pleeeaaase

The music at the start has to be from the old simcity. HAS TO BE

Man, this game look like something Tex Murphy either shat out or regurgitated after a hefty weekend in company with loose women and hard liquor. Still, fun to watch.

Loved the Nick Arcade reference.

Great episode, as usual duders! Ryan getting a bit punchy at some points, which is always great to see.

Want to relive the chat experience? Jump to 12:56 for a countdown so you can sync up and watch along at home!

Holy Christ, when the porno was an option for a prize I lost my shit. This was hilarious.

These features needs to continue with the crappiest of games, I think those make for the biggest laughs. I don't want to see a video of them going through Blade Runner or Dark Forces as these games are to this day still so great. I'm thinking more in the line of the Phantasmagoria video or Tex Muprhy etc. - there's such a goldmine of early/mid-nineties FMV atrocities to suffer through.

Oh no you didn't. The Tex Murphy games are not crap.

You can't tell me that's not Jeff Jarrett in that chair-stupid-video-game-within-the-video-game thing.

@mewarmo990: Bladerunner was an awesome game and one they could totally play on a random PC-game, didnt take that long to finish either IIRC.

Loved the bladerunner adventure game. Playing with the photo analyser... :D

I love these, it's like a bunch of people who never played a game up and decided to after watching like 15 minutes of one.
 
"WHO IS BETTER THAN CAN-YONNNNN?!?"

I always get warm fuzzies when remembering this game.

Like is said, Myst IV. I want to see them lose their minds.

Also, don't mock the clock, apparently.

I don't wanna live in this future. That bar sucks. Total sausage fest. D:

1:17:42 greatest moment in fmv video game history.

Apologies if the question has already been asked, but are there any old PC games for this feature that Giant Bomb is looking for? I have boxes of them collecting dust as I inherited a couple peoples collections of games out of college. Most stuff is probably available via download now but if there's anything you're looking for I'd be glad to see if I have it.

Or should I paw through it, find the "best" stuff and just send it you?

edit: I pawed through some of it and here are some of the more interesting finds, its mostly late 90s early 00s stuff:

• Blade Runner
• Dark Forces
• Die by the Sword
• Freespace
• Forsaken
• Hexen 2
• Independence War
• Interstate 76
• Privateer 2
• Wing Command 3 & 4
• Myth
• Star Trek "A Final Unity"
• Start Trek "Judgement Rights"
• DS9: The Fallen
• Nox
• Clive Barkers Undying
• Anachronox
• Nocturne
• Arcanum
• And a sealed copy of the Command and Conquer Renegade Soundtrack...

There a bunch more.

It would probably be a good idea to e-mail them directly about this.

I would love to see an indie developer make a new game like this with that retro cheesy graphics and humor with intentionally bad acting.

Don't mock the clock

This game is so dumb. I wish they had played more of it.

Great to see RPG back!

Aw, I wish they had finished it.

I feel like Ryan is a little overbearing in combination with Vinny / Dave. I appreciate the banter he adds but it becomes a little much at times.

Highly enjoyable
Vinny screwing around with win31 at the end was fun.

Canyon.mid!!!!

Amazing.

Blade Runner, the Star Trek games, Myth and Undying are pretty hard to find these days, especially the license games, as they are unlikely to ever get re-released due to the licenses changing hands. Most of the other games are available on either GOG or Steam, with the C&C series available on Origin, or they've been made available for free or even open source (like Forsaken and Freespace). They've already done a RPCG thing on Wing Commander 3, and I guess that's all we can expect to see of that series. But, yeah, some Blade Runner or more Star Trek games would be interesting.

I seem to remember the Blade Runner game being "special". Also, I remember Star Trek: A Final Unity having some awful voice acting from the TNG cast. I think Jonathan Frakes was particularly bad. Maybe GB doesn't want to tempt the Frakes devil-god after their last run in with him during the All-Star Poker QL.

Thanks guys, I am loving this :)

omfg burn:cycle?

FUCK YES

NO HOT DOG STAND!?

The addition of Ryan, his excitement, and his dynamic with Vinny and Dave made this my favorite Random RC Game episode yet.

I'm twelve inches tall! BARTENDER, FETCH THE STEP STOOL!
