Arcade Pit: Arcade Pit: Round 6 - 3/23/22

A Factorio question and Vinny got an itch and doesn't know why.

"This was ours to win!" - man who made bad guesses and blew the round.

I love both Buttz and Fancy Cats, don't make me choose!

The Kaizo Mario 3 sequence is what I'm here for.

PIT PIT PIT

God, it really is unfair, but Mega Man 2 rocks so fucking hard.

this will be a Giant Bomb CLASSIC!

Cats deserved to lose that drawing round because no way Jess's picture looked like Kratos before Jeff's did. Screenwatching is cheatin!

One of my favorite new shows for GB!

YEAH MORE TIETUESDAY HELL YEAH

great game, Jess had the highest highs and the lowest lows in this one lol

Happy to see the Good Toad again.

That chili was so good that it makes me want to make a batch this weekend.

Is this a different host than usual?

The credits music is Battletoads, right? Man, I dunno, that game and this music kinda ripped back when, y'know? It's a bop

Stellar Mario play in this episode

I ❤️Arcade Pit

hahaha. this whole episode was amazing. Sad for Fancy Cats, but it is what is hahaha. Excellent highs and truly amazing lows lol

@alternate: Not the usual cohost, yeah. He did one of the earlier Giantbomb pits, though.

Awww yes, Team Buttz v Team Fancy Cat! Dream match yooo

I hope this series continues into the far future with even more friends of the site. Maybe a Team Danswers? Ryckert acts like some kinda retro savant so it would be great to put him in his place.

@alternate said:

Yep! Emily (PA_Master) couldn't make it, so TieTuesday filled in!

At first I thought Jess had been muted again after the SMB3 ice hole incident, but I think she was actually just dying from laughter and couldn't speak for a minute lol!

I was cry-laughing so hard and so weird that I think my mic was auto-ducking me so I sounded pretty silent lmao

@voidburger: It was a hell of a moment! XD

I was wondering, is there some technical reason why you guys can't be on camera for this? Or is it just a screen real estate issue?

I hope when other teams are formed outside of the ones for this starting round robin, they get a little saucier with the team names. The Sunday Arcade Pit teams all have some ridiculous ass names and I'd like GB to get in on that silliness.

The streak had to end for one of them. Tough breaks for the runner-ups, but they still had some good plays. The champs definitely earned their place. Good chili.

I wish I could be on Arcade Pit so badly, it seems so much fun!!

This show is actually getting better and better each episode. Tough break for Jan and Jess The game board wasn't kind to them and the other team was getting all the power ups.

Jeff Bakalar mentioned on Voicemail Dumptruck that there were show notes on GB explaining the framework of Arcade Pit and I have no clue where that is.

The comeback during the Relay Race was so good.

@yummytreesap: You can, actually. There's a Sunday show that's open for anyone to apply to at https://schedule.arcadep.it/

Them talking about doing a Dead by Daylight feature is interesting. Its a big game now and its crazy Giant Bomb people barely did anything with it so far. Jason and Jess would be a perfect duo for it too.

@crashtanuki: Same here. Probably obvious of course, but I haven't found them.

Jan's desperation cries had me in fucking tears lol.

@tamburlaine: ooh, thank you! I will absolutely be doing this when I can rope a partner into doing it with me.

This episode was amazing!

No, see, Jess is smart to go down that hole. Keeps her out of the chilly winds!
