I ended up treating it like a podcast by having the video playing in the background while I did other stuff.
I wound up feeling similarly. While Vinny, Alex and Dan have a pretty good dynamic going, I don't think the material ended up doing any favors for the endurance run format or vice versa. Shenmue seems to be a game designed for a leisurely and explorative play style, while endurance runs and quick looks tend to work better when the player is consistently encountering new stimulus to react to. I feel that the nature of this game resulted in an endurance run that had moments of brilliance interspersed with periods of little interest.
Enzo is completely right about white manna. I really missed it once I moved outside of New Jersey, that and readily available good pizza. Also I don't think I ever saw anyone tip the guys who pump gas.
For me Giant Bomb has always been more about funny people having a good time and enjoying games than about video games and the video game industry. Kenny Omega and Austin "Xavier Woods" Creed seem to fit in with this site as well as many of the video game professionals who make regular appearances. I look forward to their future appearances, whether they be related to wrestling or not.
