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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.)

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.

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.

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. :)

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

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.
