I LOVE THESE. Especially when Jeff is thrown in too, makes it even better.

I love it when Jeff is on these because he's a walking video game encyclopedia.

I just started watching. Man the Frankie Muniz thing is real bad. For the record I really like Malcolm in the Middle.

To add a bit of context to that Frankie Muniz bit at the beginning, on the previous issue, they had him running around E3 2000 playing games and whatnot. The end of the segment had him escaping security guards and running away with two PS2's.

I played a lot of the Matt Hoffman and Dave Mirra games and I think I actually preferred Dave Mirra simply because the trick system was like nothing I had seen before. You could combine simple tricks to make cooler and more complex tricks.

Yep.

This is such a good idea for a feature that I bet Jeff was kicking himself for not having thought of it before Dan suggested it.

It's genuinely awesome for archival purposes, and doing them in a random order sort of adds that GB flavor.

Favorite feature right here. (Metal Gear Scanlon doesn't count, since it's a spinoff and thus part of the Demo Derby brand)

I do hope they some day get into PC demo discs. The PC Gamer discs hold so many fond memories and Coconut Monkeys for me.

I probably wouldn't have liked 2Xtreme if it wasn't on a demo disc I got with my PS1. I now always like that game whenever I play it. I remember not liking 3Xtreme though.

Also there is a quote from 2Xteme, where they say "Get some air" but I used to think it said "Get the mayor." Fun anecdote from the past.

Giantbomb needs to sort out their audio, you cannot hear anything when they're talking over it because they reduce the volume.... I wanna hear both! The MGS4 series has been ruined so far because the in game character volume is too low, you can hear it with headphones, but not through speakers.

The blonde guy with his mouth hanging open during the MGS2 reel I'm pretty sure is Ex-GameFan editor and localisation man Nick Rox.
