Patrick Ewing did play for the Orlando Magic during the 2001-2002 season. He signed as a free agent after being part of four team trade that landed him with the Seattle SuperSonics the year before. He retired before the 2002-2003 season.

It sad fact of life that basketball players and athletes have drop off in production as they get older. In the age of free agency, players change teams like they change their underwear. It very rare in these days for guys to stay with one team.

These are just perfect with three people. Can't wait for the next one.

Also I feel like Jeff violated Big Bird in that Sesame Street stage/character select screen and I'm totally okay with that.

Demo Derby is quickly becoming one of my favorite piece of Premium content. That is outside of good'ol "Random PC Game" (you shall be missed RPG).

Thanks Jeff, I've had this menu music stuck in my head since watching this yesterday!

Now that I listen to it again, the guy singing kind of sounds like Jeff? Maybe I am just going crazy.

I never understood why No Mercy has such a crazy fan base, I thought it was crap compared to the PlayStation games. They had the proper intro videos and much better sound and music and textures. No Mercy was also oddly slow and the characters looked odd cause their bodies were so blocky like Final Fantasy characters.

Funny how Dan calls Pixar movies for kids, but talks about how Nintendo is for cool dude grown ups too. At least Pixar isn't recycling the same ideas over and over.

LA Noire was Team Bondi, not Team Soho. Literally the other side of the world!

No fucking way. I had this demo disc because I loved the Sheep Raider game. I had a feeling it was that disc seeing the sesame street thing in the intro pic, but ready to see this when I get the time.

The Getaway games were a lot of fun, shame they've pretty much abandoned that franchise.

Quite clearly, games at the end of the life of the PS1 were of the highest calibre.

This is literally the first demo derby I watched so maybe they already commented on it but at the end of the ps1 disc they didn't notice Andrew House' name in the credits. He introduced the PS4 and is CEO of Sony Interactive, I figure someone would've pointed this out almost two years later but I just have to even if I'm late to the party

I still love this interaction.

"It's lucky you live in modern society."

"Yeah! Yeah... if I was born in like, 1960 I wouldn't make it to like, 10 years old."

I think Drew was talking a little further back than 1960 lmao
