Is this not supposed to be up yet? Or is it just borked? I'm seeing the video under the quick look section rather than the premium section.

Edit: They fixed it. Thanks guys.

I'm actually glad they didn't do Blade Runner; its been so long since the last time that I doubt it'd be very interesting to watch them ask the chat to look at gamefaqs.

David Bowie is the greatest human being. He makes Vinny look like a pile of rocks, and I say this as a pro-Vinny person.

No more Blade Runner? I'm going to try . . . really try to not be overwhelmed with sadness. I'll just settle for being extremely despondent.

I love this feature; Drew, Vinny and Dave are probably my favourite combination of guys to do these videos. Also - was the chat broken during their live show of this? I kept wanting to jump into the chat but it was always down.

I remember when I played this game on PC I had a problem with the second to last city, after a super long shooting sequence the game would ALWAYS crash. As soon as the sequence was over computer would just hard lock. Luckily you guys could never get to disc 3 in the short time you play games, that'd be really unfortunate. Great pick for a game though, It's one of my all time favorites.

Oh No! Just heard about the Blade Runner save. Ohhhh noooo! I really wanted to see how that one was going to end. That sucks. Oh well. These things happen. Still glad there's a RPCG! LONG LIVE RPCG!

On side note: Holy crap Dave! That's a lot of notifications on your account. How do you up with all that. Or do you? Is that because of the new site and all the bugs or is that a regular basis?

So glad the site is done so we can get Dave back for more Random PC Game stuff. This is by far my favourite feature.

This is pretty much the early trappings of GTA3 2 years before it came out.

I have a copy of Thief that comes in that trapezoid shape. I've always referred to them as "pyramid boxes".

Cool I have always liked Quantic Dream as a developer, despite of some of Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit) and Heavy Rains flaws, because atleast they are trying to make something different.

Unfortunately David Cage can come of as a bit of a jerk at times, but I'm still glad we have people like him who are not afraid of reaching beyond the stars. Oh yeah beyond.

Oh man, I love Omikron. It looks shitty today, but back then it was fucking awesome.

It makes me miss old PC games like this, Deus Ex, System Shock, Quake, Doom, and Unreal.

I hope they play Blade Runner again, from what I heard their save got erased but hopefully Dave will play up to the same point they were at before. I loved watching Blade Runner, it's still such a quality game.

Absolutely, I worked at Eidos for a few years and picked up quite a few free copies of games from the swag table in those kooky boxes. Got a copy of Soul Reaver II on the shelf next to me in one of those boxes.

Oh man, I wish I hadn't missed out on the whole PC boom back in the day, because these titles are almost impossible to go back to now. You have to admire how experimental they were, with the lack of standards and practices and all, but UI has come a long way since then.

While this was great fun, I don't think you can mine much more enjoyment out of this title by going back to it. You probably can't top awkward, polygonal sex and David Bowie.
