Vinny Bought Bot Colony. Now What?

BEST VIDEO EVER!

Oh, Jimmy...

So much time spent making that voice profile, only to delete it immediately after. Glorious.

This had me crying with laughter. Thanks so much, Phillips!

Nice stuff, Phillips.

I hate Jimmy.

WHY WAS VINNY YELLING THE WHOLE TIME!?

Oh man, as soon as he hit "cancel" I knew it was gone.

After this video, I shall never look at coffee makers or pepper grinders without laughing on the inside. Life = improved.

I really hope this is what having a robot will be like.

The robot voice, "okay" sounds vaguely sarcastic, which is kinda appropriate.

Dammit, Jimmy.

I lost it when he put the pepper grinder on the coffee maker, after a small pause of course.

this is pretty great.

From Wikipedia: "A Bot Colony character can answer factual questions, but it can also answer questions about the 3D environment and the events it witnessed. This ability to reason about the environment as well as about facts is a major innovation, and a stepping stone on the way to achieving common-sense behaviour and passing the Turing Test."

I feel the Turing Test stepping stone that they're referring to, as far as Bot Colony is concerned, is one of those trick ones in Takeshi's Castle where all it does is break your shins and make you faceplant onto a rock.

Yeah!!!!!!

It's allows fun to see someone descend into madness, but I felt like I join Philips on this journey...
Great work as always by Vinnco

Thanks for the much needed laughs.

After this, @vinny has to play the voice-controlled Lifeline game for the PS2.

It's like this but semi-functional. It would be a nice mix of an okay game and this voice-controlled madness.

@zabant: It's funny because Dinner for Schmucks was worse than this game.

Managed to catch the last ten minutes or so of it last night, it was great!

The best premium content ever. Thank you @vinny

This video reminds me of a review adam sessler did of a voice controlled PS2 game years ago

Thank you to the beautiful @viciousreiven. A bot among bots.

Holy shit.

Best thing? Best thing.

Absolutely fantastic live stream, had me laughing from start to finish.

I guess this gives us a whole new level of appreciation for the Kinect.

I immediately thought: "This is Jimmy."

Is that the the Lost videotape guy?

This game is the devil.

Thank you Vinny.

What a piece of shit game. Funny ass QL though.

I'am so very happy to live in a world that has seen fit to give us a sequel to the greatestvideogame evermade, Lifeline.

Fuck you world.

This reminds me of the Experience/eXperiment 112

That game was really interesting. This game is interesting in a different way alltogether.

Hah, nice BTTF 2 reference Vinny.

Oh wow, hazardous to watch while eating...but even despite nearly choking-up, this was pure gold.

...and I can't believe some of those words that appeared. I wonder how much of a struggle this is to someone who isn't a native speaker.

Fucking amazing stuff, Vinny!

YESSSS! The Vinnosphere has a new entry - about damn time Giant BNYC!

How is the voice recognition that bad? Windows default voice stuff is pretty solid I thought. Hilarious none the less.

I think this all just goes to show how fucking bad ass that spy was that you're tracing the steps of in the tutorial.

@vinny: Hey Vinny if you are looking for another game with robots and speech recognition, Binary Domain is actually really good. I don't know how much (or if) you played it after the Quick Look ages ago.

Edit: Oh wait I just remembered you actually put it on a GOTY list.

Such a perfect ending. Jimmy better turn up in the game of the year discussions for some category.

Who knew that watching Vinny argue with a glorified roomba for a hour and a half could be so entertaining?

Jimmy is a real fucker.

reminds me of talking to my brothers xbox one for the first time

Quality.

This has to be the best piece of content on the site :D :D i'm still laughing a day later XD

Phillips goes crazy at the end.

This week has been great for videos.

I hope someone was just outside the room listening to this and being so confused and disturbed.

The homepage for bot colony mentions that you should use it with Dragon NaturalSpeaking for the Speech recognition not to suck, it wont help jimmy's quest for the pepper grinder, but I wonder how much better the recognition would have gotten.

I was thinking the same thing.

IT'S PRONOUNCED VAHHHHHHSE.

This is so great. There needs to be more "Vinny Bought".

Daiichi on the base.
