The Last Podcast of 2013 (In Video Form)

I'm too drunk for all the camera switching. I gotta watch this in the morning. I'm psyched for a podcast i wasn't expecting.

Nice treat before the end of the year. Happy 2014!

Hey everybody, its tooooooday. GIANTHATCAST TIME!

Brad is almost the living example of the old glasses = nerd cliche. Brad looks like a popular jock without them, but with them? Kinda traditionally nerdy!

But, in actual worthy news, happy 2014 you guys!

I want to believe that this is how they secretely do every single podcast. I need to believe it!

so when they were all saying "XBOX ON" it turned my fucking xbox on

goddammit

All the familiarity of a Skype podcast. :p

Hey Everybody It's tuuuuuuueeeeeessssddaaaaaayyyyyy?????

@mormonwarrior: internet cats

Ah, cheers. I'm pretty sure I myself have already watched the stream in the past too! Specifically because I remember being disappointed during a stream involving sega saturn stuff because they never played Burning Rangers.

"Brother #1?" Is Max getting a brother?

Vinny looks 5 years younger or something. Must be the ability to sleep!

I love Patrick trying hard not to lose it when Vinny morphed into an alien...lol.

This is what is missing when Vinny isnt in the control room and these are just simple Google Hangouts tools. Yet magic is still created. Thanks Guys! Here's to a better 2014.

Then brother, do I have a Giant Bomb video for you. I think they forgot that they played a bunch of Saturn and Atari stuff two years ago for the end of year stream, but I do remember that Clockwork Knight and Batman Forever were played at one point.

I kind of really loved this. Video podcast with google's oddly awesome timing in the edits, is so good.

I WOULD GENUINELY LOVE TO SEE SOME CLOCKWORK KNIGHT FOOTAGE ON HERE

Here's the twitch archive

Hopefully this will be put up on YouTube before long so I can watch it on my xbox later. I got my girlfriend interested in giant bomb now so the next step is getting her started with the podcast stuff. One step at a time.

I was laughing pretty damn hard while watching Cat Vinny ask for game advice on the stream.

Do you have a link to last year's video? I must've missed that, and can't find it in the video features section, nor any links to it in the comments for the podcast version of that.

i love this and i'm glad i can look forward to it but i kinda wish it was pushed to Tueeusdeee

(i know it's tuesday somewhere now...)

you're not like 35 or something are you?

This made me laugh heartily.

@brad You guys have done some stuff with the Saturn before. Although it was during the holidays, so you probably weren't in the office. There's also some atari 2600 coverage in part 1.

@brad looks pretty sharp before he puts on that hat. I could see him reading interesting books in a library or study.

Is that Brad? It might just be the angle but Brad is getting plump, but who can blame him with all that good southern food

Nearly spit my drink when Vinny as the Moon appeared.

hooray!

And also, cats?

Actually I think he actually doesn't use the Astro's mic but I believe he uses a different, independent mic that's directly in front and under the camera. I think it's a Blue mic but I'm not sure. I'm cc'ing @patrickklepek just for clarification on his streaming and audio set up.

lol vinny turned off my xbox

Wish I could have watched this live but still a great video. Hope to see more of these.

Cat @vinny is an internet superstar.

@wumbo3000: Yeah, I noticed that after I replied. :d

@aviar: then you'll be glad to know this is already the second year they have done a video podcast for New Years.

Haha I was being sarcastic about Vinny being the cat in the thumbnail. But now that you mention it, he does look well-rested!

First podcast I've "consumed" in a long time, purely because it was video. It's always been hard to just sit and listen to a podcast, and if I try to play a game alongside them I just lose focus on either. So, more video please =)

Hello Jeff

@aviar: They also did a video podcast last/earlier this year. Depends on when tuesday lands on their break.

Also, this just made me question what Vinny does on audio podcasts. Is his hat always as great? Is he always in disguise? We may never know....

This was awesomely fun. Hope you guys get plenty more rest - it's more fun when you're having fun.

Vinny's final form!!!

Thanks for this, duders. Great way to close out 2013.

I think this should be the first of an annual video podcast before each new year.

YES VIDEO PODCAST!!! Do a lot more of these please!!!!

Always count on Vinny for ridiculous video shenanigans!

Yeah, he uses a Blue Snoball mic and Triton's as headphones and only then because he got them for free I think.

This video is the height of majesty, bravado, verbal illuminations, rad head attire and just good ole fashion humor. Thank you Jeff, Vinny, Patrick and Brad. This video should be mandatory viewing for people suffering from the blues. I had such a stupid grin on my face after this madness concluded, and heck, I actually learned a thing or two about dem video games. Maybe podcastin' from home will be the hot trend in 2014. Also Vinny takes many forms. He might be a wizard. Stay tuned to Giant Bomb in the new year kids...

Gaming headsets actually have notorious bad quality. He uses another mic and set up already fine for his other stream compared to the other dudes who clearly decided this out of nowhere.
