We are in the tiger's mouth, and he is salivating. But we can tickle his teeth and make him sneeze.

I think that makes sense.

This game could be tons of fun with people who aren't kids saying bad words on the internet.

I just played it myself, as Malik. So good, I was going around blessing and meditating with everyone in the name of the "flying spagetti monster" (sic) and Shauna was claiming she had all the secret chips, and would sell them to anyone who gave her $100,000. Everyone was taking their role somewhat seriously, trying to work alliances. I think Boyle tried to talk Shauna out of this dangerous spy lifestyle, and she tased him...

That was one of the weirdest live streams ever, which says a lot if you think about it, and I loved every second of it.

I'm really looking forward to the QL with Alex, who'll probably be equally as confused as everyone watching this was.

Also I have to say I'm really surprised that, considering what kind of game this is, only a few people went for weird sex chat stuff.

Yeah, it was pretty cool to see that many players down to clown without turning into awkward internet assholes.

So I just spent 2 hours playing this and Vinny is completely right. The first few games I was just running around roleplaying not understanding anything, but when I started to understand it better, this one game got really intense and had an amazing twist. Everything in that game was just perfect, except for one person being AFK but that somehow added to the drama. The problem is, the other half the time you run into really disgusting people, not even funny disgusting people, just down right obnoxious and disgusting 13 year old with continuously repeated racist shit and I consider myself very thick skinned when it comes to that. It breaks immersion. But that's not the games fault.

Random fact that fooled me one game. You can apparently give your CID or steal it (I think) to someone else, so they can pose as the other faction. Be aware lol. I learned the hard way.

I don't know what's weirder: this game or the fact that Cooper's player name was Zap Rowsdower, a character from a terrible Canadian film called The Final Sacrifice that I saw for the first time when I watched an episode of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" yesterday on Netflix. What are the odds I'd happen to stumble on this obscure character name two days in a row?

It's not that weird. That's one of the most popular MST3K episodes next to Manos so tons of people online use it in one way or another. You'll probably start noticing it more often now that you're in on what it's from. =)

@bonorbitz: Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon.

Fascinating. I didn't know either of those things... Don't get me wrong, I wasn't thinking it's some supernatural something or other, it's just so damn coincidental to me that I've never caught that episode (and I've watched the show since the early 90s) until two days ago when I stayed home from work because I was sick. The next day, that uncommon name pops up again in Vinny's video and my mind is blown.

Just played two games. One where I was Alex, which was just amazing. Everyone played along and it was real goofy. In the second one though two people were afk, and one person was just typing in all caps and being dumb. I feel like I just saw both sides of the spectrum with this game.

This is just great. Are the missions you get randomized or do all the characters have the same thing? Like is Alex always the guy who finds the data and wakes up with a thong?

It's randomized for the most part. Either you're one of the spies from the competing oil companies, the data seller, a thief looking to steal and re-sell the data, or just sometimes a random dude on the boat with no serious objective. Though I think each has their own missions unique to the character. Usually Alex has the thong, Dunlop has the orphan, and Mary has to collect the passports. I played a Mary once where she had to collect all the passports of the other players while also being a spy for one of the corporations. Then another game where she wasn't a spy and just had to collect the red thong. It is pretty different each time you play it even with multiple characters.

There's nothing more sad than buying a game and installing it just to get your username on a live stream.

Leave it to Vinny to find all the games that are amazing. That text to voice recognition is a total mind fuck. What really made this video great is Mr. Caravella's role-playing abilities being put to the test. I was thoroughly impressed and wildly entertained. It makes a lot of sense how he took so naturally to the Pathfinder feature. Damn, we're never getting that again. :( V-Bomb meditate now...

I really want to see a video of 1 round of this game where every character is a member of the GB staff. No microphones, no additional cameras, and no sense of who is playing which character. Just the raw capture footage.

Vinny... the best as always.

The first game played with the new PC should be SPINTIRES!
