By SethPhotopoulos 24 Comments
Yo. I just discovered this. I'm sure plenty of people already saw these videos since many of you shifted from Gamespot to GB but this is for people like me who have never seen the show or known the guys before the Giant Bomb era. However if you want to just relive the old days thats cool too. I'll probably post the episodes 1-3 at a time. I don't know if this will be weekly or daily but here goes. Hopefully this doesn't count as spam
EDIT: I didn't explain anything about the show.
The contestants (three of them) play three rounds. After each round a contestant is eliminated.
Round 1: The contestants must complete a series of tasks racing against the clock and the times set by other opponents. A task could be do 2 reverse 360 drifts in Ridge Racer or kill 5 enemies in Contra.
Round 2: The 2 remaining contestants must watch a series of short clips of video games. After they are shown the clips they must recall as many as they can. The one who remembers the most wins.
Round 3: The remaining contestant must get in a "duel" with a 3rd party against their own game. (In the pilot contestant Ryan chooses to face off against Greg in SFII, which Greg is considered to be the best in the office.)
