Wait...Drewventud Guerrera is taking off his mask...what's he...AW SUNOFA...IT'S GERSTMANN! IT'S STINKO GERSTMANNKO! "THE RAPMAN COMETH" FOR DEMO DERBY!

Late Night Bomb Content (TM)

@enshi: I don't think he will, based on what he said on his tumblr. He's out of town on a personal voyage.

Love you guys for doing this series, great stuff!

Awesome. Makes me want to dig all my demo discs out of storage and play them, lol.

Also, I'm in the group that doesn't consider Star Wars to actually be sci-fi; its basically DnD in space.

I remember being blown away by the graphics in Live and Reloaded. I still think they're pretty damn good.

Too bad the war section is the demo, by far the weakest part of the game.

Sunshine and Smiles Week on GB, fun!

New Demo Derby, fun!

Cute squirrel game, fu...wait...oh...that's...oh...

I love me some Battlefront. I played it on PC though.

That would be so awesome if that NHL Gamespot quote was Alex. Man..

Johnny Extreme? Balls to the wall awesome?

This is still my fav video series on this site tho

Jesus, they got me good with that whole Drew/Jeff prank. Classic Giant Bomb!

Wait a second.. thats not Drew!!

EDIT: About inverted controls - I think modern consoles remember the settings you choose and that choice is reflected in the game. At least I remember the 360 had something like that. I played inverted, like a regular human being should, and every game I've ever put into my 360 had inverted look ON by default, as it should be. Only children or gaming troglodytes would play shooters not inverted..

Ah geez Outlaw Golf. Wait til Klepik gets ahold of this one...

I love this series so much.

#PresidentMechGate

Yeah, there's an option in 360 settings that inverts Y axis for every game played. I recently picked up a PS4 and there is no such option. Shame shame. Inverted for life.

P.S. Jeff is usually wrong about everything, except that Vince Vaughn is the worst and Wind Waker is great. And calling Star Wars "magic bullshit for assholes" won me over. Jeff, you're alright. Go Jeff!

Is Drew even real? I don't know anymore.

Master of a thousand voices strikes again

Banjo and DK64 are -both- completely awful.

This is why I have a Premium Membership.

Secret content? It wasn't on the schedule!

Also, Jeff has joined the Drew World Order of Premium Content, brother!

Inverted? What kind of sick, twisted monster are you? UP MEANS UP, DAMMIT.

GREAT episode!

If it's good enough for Vinny Caravella, then it's good enough for me.

Man, what I love about these is that at first I just loved them because of the fun time the guys had with these things, making fun of the dumb stuff on these demo disks.

But now, and especially with Jeff who has been around it so long and has that encyclopedic like knowledge, it's become like a nostalgic sort of look back on games and the way they worked and the world behind them from yesteryear.

Don't want to chuck Drew out of the mix but I hope Jeff gets involved in more of these just to talk about games and game history and shit. It's cool.

Whoa is this a surprise demo derby? I didn't spot it on the upcoming ticker.

I really like both those games, but man, going back to them now the framerate is soooooooo bad. I guess that could be said for a lot of N64 games, but those Rare games especially in my view.

You can tell in that forza portion, Dan is holding the brake in as far as it can go every time.

COME ON BALBOA! YOU HAD YOUR SHOT! NOW GIMME MINE! –Clubber Lang is the best Rocky villain. FUCK DRAGO!

That actually made the game seem pretty competent to me yeah, because you could easily tell that his tires locked and the following driving off course is what would happen then. And one of the things he turned off was ABS. :)

He did it knowingly of course, I can't imagine playing a game with ABS turned off would be fun unless you were drifting.

that's how you play racing games

"...Drew Scanlon"

GASP!

"Hello" (Jeff Voice)

GASP!!

I was 14 when the original Conker 64 came out and I thought it was kind of lame, even then. I still played it, because it was a two-day rental and I wanted my my miserable amount of money's worth, but I didn't think it was all that

@seikenfreak: It definitely is from Alex, his review makes me want to go get an old copy of that game.

It is.

The reason why every turn was difficult in that Forza was because Dan turned off ABS.

Also, Jeff, Star Wars is better than Star Trek because I like adventure and not some nerd bullshit where nothing ever happens.

Dreff Scantmann

I never played Conker's Bad Fur Day. I feel like it was probably a step down from his debut in Diddy Kong Racing.

Also, INVERTED FOR LIFE. Only way to play.

Banjo Tooie is the best N64 game. Also the best game. I love all those games. I love DK64.

EDIT: I know Jeff is kinda joking with his "magic bullshit" comments about Star Wars. But really, if anything, there's more "magic bullshit" in Star Trek than there is in Star Wars.

Edit 2: It's a huge bummer than Metal Wolf Chaos never came out in the US. If you aren't familiar with that game, do yourself a favor and go watch all the cut-scenes on YouTube or something. It's worth your time.

Anyone know the game Jeff mentions in the conker part that was recalled?

Rocky Legends is a pretty good game. Why don't you think it's a good game?
