Vinny Jeff and Brad talking over Super Mario World was one of the most joyous things to me... That game is an all-time favorite of mine, and has been dear to me since childhood. I had a smile the whole time.

Keep it up guys!

No, no green screen. That's just them and a giant Nyan-cat wall.

@ck1nd: I think it's because nothing good is coming out that justifies almost 2 hours of entertaining streaming.

A little surprised that the Firepower/SWIV connection was mentioned, but not that it's also connected to Return Fire, the favorite from the 3DO Stream.

I can confirm this as the norm, but eventually we started saying SNES as a series of letters, but never as a word. Also, never heard anyone call a game cartridge a "tape" until much, much later.

Brad either makes stuff up without realizing it, or hangs out on bizarro world corners of the internet. People were super excited about Grimrock because it is what those people wanted. I never heard different. It's excellent.

I love how Brad is terrible at video games and then blames the game for his sucking.

All the secret stuff in Mario World was rad, but I thought the Mario 3 levels were more fun. And for me, Yoshi's Island kicks the shit out of both of them.

Upsetting.

Super Mario World is the greatest Mario game. Even Miyamoto himself said so. ;)

Putting myself up for horrible, horrible bashing down: Super Paper Mario is my all-time favorite Mario title. Best humor, best writing, best gameplay, best music, and definitely the darkest game in the series ever.

Super Mario RPG was the greatest I have to say, if not the only one I actually liked. Something about the classic platforming Marios...never appealed to me. Call me a heretic I guess.

Hey, anything with Yoko Shimomura attached as the compser is up for the the greatest SOMETHING, at least:

Vinnie's Lester voice is phenomenal.

He should star in a Revenge of the Nerds remake. Hmmm, directed by Tim Burton.

I love mario world as much as any gamer, but man how many videos of mario videos do we freaking need on the internet at this point. This is the second one on giant bomb alone in less than a year. And of course its the same first world everyones seen over and over again. Pretty disappointed when brad pulled it out.

I'm up for every snes game just not that one.

First of all; Love Super Mario World, the only Mario Bros Game I ever finished. Played it with my now sister in law- thanks for the flashback. I'd forgotten that this was so important to me.

Second; Watching Brad play Super Mario World is delightful. Well done.

Third; I may be drunk right now, which is rare so forgive me

You're silly! It was quite amusing to many of us. I agree that newer content is nice, but them doing this on a whim is pretty great, too. There should be another Dwarf Fortress episode in the next few days, as well. :)

Guys, I love your content, but the video playback issues are unacceptable. Streaming, Progressive, it makes no difference: Each video buffers constantly, or, nine times out ten, just stops playing after the first few seconds. I've tried different browsers, I've tried turning off Firewalls, etc...nothing works.

The part where Brad gets squished by the block when jumping off Yoshi could only happen to Brad.
