Also, are those enemy death screams the exact same ones in N64 Goldeneye?

I don't know why but, to me, Vinny losing his shit is the best thing about this site.

im surprised no one has made a vinny laugh reel yet, man that would be gold !

I love everything about this site, but I think a Vinny laugh reel would be the only video I would ever need to get me through the day.

This was the best episode of RPCG to date. It was just too hilarious. When I was a kid I remember seeing the French language demo of either this game or Outcast 2. The graphics bad then blew my freaking mind. I can easily say that I'm happy to be a subscriber right now. Please do more of these! Either Icewind Dale or some weird adventure game.

Seriously guys, please, just once, READ THE MANUAL before playing these old games.

For those who never played Outcast, it basically established the "Bioware" model of action RPGs before Bioware did. Lots of reasonably well acted, well written dialog leading to characters you actually care about.

It is my second favorite game to come out of the 90s after Homeworld. I replayed it last year when the GoG version was released and still loved it as much as I did when is was new.

---edit---

OK at least Vin mentions the manual at the end. If you get the game from GoG the have the manual downloadable as a PDF.

MORE hilarious than SWAT's "AGH! THE OLD BITCH SHOT ME!" and Phantasmagoria's...pretty much every death animation?? Sign me RIGHT the fuck up!

"...the music, which featured a sweeping orchestral score recorded by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra. The music was further augmented by ethereal choral arrangements and well-placed cues that matched the score to the on-screen action."

You can't talk about awesome Vinny laughs without mentioning Thomas' death in the Deadly Premonition ER.

I know it's original, but the music at 33:35 specifically sounds just like the music in Raiders of the Lost Ark when they open the Ark.

Awesome stuff again from Vinny and Dave... Vindave? Davin? Snidavella? Hardcore Vin? VD...? Yeah, I'm sticking with Snidavella, the Metroidvania of Giantbomb.

I love these guys and I wish I had as good a personality.

"This guy looks like a leadery type..." Remember the fruit Ulukai, that's how one learns to go undetected. Yup, let's ride the Skytrain to Frakes' Face: What the fuuuuck!!

This game is so awesome. It's a game about immersing yourself in a world, learning the language, figuring out how things work... it's SO different than the "follow the quest compass" games that we get now.

You have different goals when shooting a video for an audience within a certain time limit. I'd certainly play more conservatively if I was playing by myself.

Given STALKER as an example I like mods that force me to eat and sleep, but that isn't exactly thrilling content for people looking for a taste of a game.

I appreciate that you and Vinny take the time out of your schedules to play these gems. I assume you got this on GOG? Most of these games are new to me.

I think that guy wasting Dave in half a second is probably the hardest I've ever heard Vinny laugh. And Dave's "WHAT THE FUCK?" sounded hilarious.

Exactly what I was thinking through the entire video.

Also, for more Vinny losing his shit, the "Forum Thread Generator" bit from the bombcast springs to mind, where ryan ends the listing with "Best use of vector graphics you've ever seen someone cosplay as"

Man, it was frustrating when Vinny was trying to convince Dave to take a left before they found the recreator.
