Dreaming of hitman's bad technical difficulties

Andrew Bowen!

Did the MS Paint thing maybe say John Snow?

I vaguely remember a bit where Vinny couldn't remember "You know nothing John Snow" and he made up his own thing.

Wait, Dan's BIL is the lead guitarist for Thank You Scientist?! Holy crap!!

Dan and Abby look like they're being burnt alive by lighting, haha

FMV every day PLEASE

Bish Bash Bosh

@drac96: From this I think

https://www.giantbomb.com/shows/gbe-playdate-star-trek-borg-100617/2970-11801?t=6m29s

incredibly sold on Dreams after seeing this

Is dreams in another beta or what is this version? No release date yet right?

@steveurkel: It's in Early Access now with no set release date for the 1.0

Man, Purple Pants Surprise is the most inspiring thing I've ever seen.

Omg the scene with the imp was too much I frickin love this site

Oh boy, I remember the Game Informer Fox Hunt Replay. It is really something else.

So...the Jim Carrey knock-off in the FMV game plays Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat X and Mortal Kombat 11.

Abby and I are soul mates.

Dreams

The GBE crew really should keep an old Windows 95/98 PC handy just for these old games. To record/stream, just use the Framemester (via VGA in) to upscale and convert to HDMI.

Yo the pre-show banter was the real show for this one

I always get weirded out when Dan casually mentions the Thank You Scientist guitarist as his brother-in-law. Seeing them soon!

GIVE SONICDEFF THE PURPLE PANTS SURPRISE DEV ALL YOUR MONEY. HE IS THE FUTURE OF GAMING.

Hope they get that game working some day. It looked quite strange.

Ugh, that hurt watching Vinny at the end of his ET run. He was in the exact same room Dan had ended in, and all he had to do was exit through the same wooden door Dan used to get in to end up in the harbor and a short walk away to a speedboat exit.

Wow

Finally, they decide to play an FMV game and it craps out :(

After the stream ended, I bought Dreams.

I woke up at 3am with "Oi you, wot you lookin at" burned in my brain.

The best FMV game that they absolutely need to play and try to play WITHOUT walkthroughs is Critical Path. That is the hardest fuckin game I've ever played in my life, you get killed just for playin the game I think.

I also am still laughing at the freaking PT scene with the imp. Pretty much remove any sense of horror from that game with a giant popped up floating magical fun creature lookin around for ya.

'The White House Shadow'

Wow, the 90's were a different time, eh?

This is about Rob Lowes speed after he had sex on tape with two 15 year old girls.

My favourite part is when they forgot to key out the green screen when he puts down the book.

I hope they get Fox Hunt working one day.

Unless you already own a copy of Fox Hunt PS1 good luck. That game goes for $200+ it's rare.

Liquid Television reborn

I really hope they do a Dreams community jam or something, but I need more time learning Dreams to make a cool Giant Bomb game!

OH MY GOD! I remember watching the Gameinformer Replay for this years ago. Dan was in that replay as well, I believe. He mentioned Tim Turi played it 7 years ago. Oh my god. This is surreal to see again, fridge shaking and all.

Hey guys, I think holding start will hide imps in Dreams!

Damn, I was looking forward to more Fox Hunt. I hope you guys get it working soon (or play the PSX version). FMVinny!

100% Also their new single is the best

How do they still not understand how to play Hitman properly?!

Vinny's face when Dan just shoots that mortician was fucking priceless

Use. The. Minimap. In. Hitman.

I love the Giant Bomb duders. Probably my favorite media outlet on the internet... But watching them play Hitman is so painful lol. Still love ya though!!

@asphyxiate: holy crap ive seen Thank You Scientist many times, small world

this!

Yooo, what the helllll?? Of course Dan's brother-in-law plays in Thank You Scientist, lol. Six degrees of Dan Ryckert.

Their popcan talk is foreign to me, as a lifelong Michigan resident with our 10 cent refund.

@vinny If you come back to Fox Hunt, try turning off audio hardware acceleration in the control panel of your Windows 95/98 VM. I recently had similar trouble with a similar game and that fixed it.

I love how admitted garbage picker Dan thinks picking through someone's garbage is illegal

This was a lot of fun :D thanks beast crew!

Am I crazy or have they totally played fox hunt on this site before? I could have sworn it got some play on a UPF back in the FMVinny days.

@steveurkel: my brother and i beat it when it came out on our 486 or maybe it was either a Pentium 75 or Pentium 90. Either way playing that and Bioforge in the same year was like Christmas. However, my brother was not as hip to things with the PC than I was and he ended up beating it with the sound off. I don't remember if they were broken or he just didn't know how to turn them on. But he told me he beat it. Being a teenager the 90's was our Gilded Age computer games. Regardless, I was so impressed that he beat the whole damn game with the sound off.
