Thursday Afternoon SNES Time, Y'all: 07/12/12

I actually played the hell out of combat basketball when I was a kid.

you got Brad GOOD

@wompa421:

A Valley without Wind I think.

To me, this feels like the reason the internet was invented.

what's that procedural game that jeff mentioned i forgot?

That's right. Ninten-does what Seg-don't.

Who else want's to see the guys play Artemis?

What, you don't know what Artemis is? It's the true Star trek bridge simulator! Everybody has a station, with their own PC/laptop that'll only show that station (engineering, scanners, weapons, whatever), and one guy plays the captain, who doesn't get a PC at all! There's one big screen, and he has to tell the others what to show on it. It's the dorkiest/awesomest thing I've ever seen. Never had enough people together to try it, though. See: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL532DC01F548EE15C

Sick.

Holy shit.

This basically has to happen.

Man, I have been saying this for so long. A TNT with this would be great.

This so much! Also, they must dress up and someone needs to be doing a Shatner impression

that would be pretty cool

I missed the early part of yesterday's broadcast, so I didn't see Brad and Vinny tackle 'Smash TV.' I had forgotten just how arcade-perfect it looked on the SNES. (That is: looked. It definitely suffers from overly-compressed audio, and I'd imagine controlling it with the d-pad and four face buttons is a pain.)

In video advertising for cookies by Vinny.

Oh man, Brad got shit on so hard at Combat Basketball.

Ryan was not there to defend the honor of Mario 3, the greatest Mario game of all time.

Upsetting.

This is why I love Giant Bomb!

Those side seats look like watermelon.

@FoxMulder: I love em all, too, but those two do have a tendency to bring things down sometimes.

Giant Bomb without Ryan and Patrick has been one of the best things ever...I love those two guys, but the trio of Jeff, Brad, and Vinny is a pretty fun one!

Super R-Type, that is one of those "Rogue-like" games right? Die and have to start over?

is this trolling

DIE

Super R-Type, that is one of those "Rogue-like" games right? Die and have to start over?

@thebigJ_A: obviously this needs to be a flight club lol

@ztiworoh: Ryan was born to play this role.

my god forgot all about my silkworm love! On the amiga of course

Lester the Unlikely looks so bad.

The top of the screen is still flickering back and forth, guys. You should probably fix that.

The new iterations of Thursday Night Throwdown are really gaining in quality. It use to feel painful and almost like a marketing plug before where the guys were just playing new titles. Now they are having fun with whatever they want and it's just a good thing.

Within 3 minutes, Brad basically says: "I'm not wearing any underwear."

And chaos ensued..

This next song's called A Message to you Lester

TASTY, nice.

Before the terminator comment I was like "Huh, this music sounds like what would happen if Gary Numan made terminator music".

Mario World is so great, I wish they also played Super Metroid instead of crap like Lester.

You should check out the older SNES stream.

very nice!

In Ireland, we called it the snez. with a Z. Suck it.

That Blink-182 poster is hilariously random.

yea! yea! yea!

TASTY needs to continue.

I'm from the Philippines and we called it the S-snes.

This I <3 !

Lester the Unlikely was a neat game. I definitely thought of that game the first time I heard about the new Tomb Raider game.

HEY! The audio is in sync! Yay!

I'm from Virginia and I called it the S N E S (each letter by itself). I like saying sness though now

Bill Lambeer's may be a terrible game, but I laughed super hard while they were playing it :]

Lester the Unlikely is way worse.

but yeah, they need to get some actual good games for one of these some time. ff3/6, zombies ate my neighbours, diddy's kong quest, and so on.

Brad, a Bird of Prey is basically what the Romulans and Klingons call their frigate-sized ships. A Warbird is more akin to a battleship.

Yes, I'm a nerd.

@heatDrive88: How many "hot garbage comments" do you read?

Granted, my comments are pretty hot garbage, but the hottest garbage? I wouldn't say THAT...

@SemiNormal said:

Except that the SNES was never cool.

Are you just saying that because you're mentally handicapped or something? Just checking, because that's the hottest garbage comment I've ever read.

@Slay3r1583: This. Except that the SNES was never cool.

@tapuki said:

THREE!!

3!

Mario World is so great, I wish they also played Super Metroid instead of crap like Lester.

The horror.

The scars from that Bill Lambeer's Combat Basketball music are resurfacing from last time they played it...
