Watching this in 2020 after watching mostly newer GB stuff makes me realize Vinny seemed way hornier ten years ago

now that life is strange is done you should do a playdate of this at least for a couple times. Seeing Austin's take on this would be interesting.

Any way RIP Bowie - you were a true original.

Started to play this game today, but had to stop after half an hour so I could watch this. I kept having a little Vinny and Alex in my head commenting on the game's quirks as I played. Amusing, but distracting.

R.I.P David Bowie.

I was having an off day only to realize Mr. Bowie had left us.

God bless his family and friends and thank you.

People in the comments were saying R.I.P. David, and because Dave Snider is in this I had a minor freak out.

Fuck!

Crazy thing I randomly decided to watch this again the day before I heard of his death. Kinda freaked me out a little.

RIP David, there will never be another like you.

Thanks for putting this back on the FP, some good memories.

Going through Bowie's discography yesterday was a real rollercoaster, but ultimately a joy. R.I.P.

David Bowie hit me the same as when Alex Chilton died, huge inspirations. The first song I learned to play on guitar was Ziggy Stardust for God sakes.

Of all those I never knew personally, the passing of only two people have utterly gutted me like this. Bowie is one and RTD the other. Rest in peace.

@phoenix87: I played it to completion at release during my teenage years, before the heady days of GameFAQS. These opening hours are just the tip of the bullshit-iceberg this game steers you into.

It was worth it for I'll Survive.

This crazy game was the reason I started listening to Bowie when I was fourteen. Got a paid membership to GB back in the day because I wanted to watch this video. No regrets on both counts. Thanks guys.

For a second, I thought that this feature was ressurrected and became really disappointed when I realized it was an older video. Then I realized that David Bowie was dead again, and I was a little sad. Then I started Listening to Ziggy Stardust, and things were alright.

What a roller coaster.

Rocked to the very end. I've bought every album since Earthling, and I think Blackstar's my favorite. Good night, sweet bard. Thanks for the magic.

At first I heard Dave's voice and was like "OMG HE'S VISITING AND DOING AN RPCG!" but then realized it was an older video.

Nonetheless, I still watched it. RIP Bowie.

I did the same thing, didn't see this originally and didn't know it had anything to do with Bowie. Thought they had a surprise guest.

Didn't know this existed, and when I heard Dave's voice, I fangirled pretty hard. Then I saw the date.

This one hit me like a ton of bricks. I feel similar to when Ryan died. A guy I never knew but admired greatly.

I hope you exist somewhere out there in space.

Just loaded may phone with a bunch of Bowie that I have no idea/reason why it wasnt on there in the first place. I'll be honest that I never was a hardcore fan, but there's plenty of his stuff I dig and station to station is an incredible album. Just listened to Blackstar today as well and it seems a very apt swan song. RIP :(
