Die Another Friday: Episode 007

The pre-show is creeping into the show-show!

RE: Beer, these days Bond drinks Heineken.

Dan Kubrick over here: "Do another take and GET IT RIGHT!"

That's what a degree from film school gets ya, folks.

On Bond drinking other alcoholic drinks. Since 1997 Heineken has been present and prominent, If Bond doesn't drink a Martini he is drinks a Heineken.

With a bonus of GBEAST reacts to YouTube video

@humanity: best intro ever!

It's amusing that the episode numbered 007 is probably the one that they play the game for the shortest amount of time. The video length is comparable to the rest, but between that extended goofing off intro and the YouTube ending, I think it ends up being the least amount gameplay. Not that I mind, I just find it a bit funny.

in our open campus only honor society kids could leave. we used to go to the same bar that the teachers went to (the only place in town serving food in the town in winter in the tiny, tiny town i lived in- and it was good food, i still go there to get a garbage burger everytime i visit my mom and i'm in my mid 30's.)

the teachers tried to get us banned from going there because we could clearly see them drinking in the middle of the day, but the fact we were the honor society nerds undercut their strategy- we were the ones with the engaged parents (and also, we all went to that bar with our parents to get burgers, nobody thought of it as a pure drinking establishment, especially in the off season.) So we basically ruined their public drinking during work days

Dan's beard really has a way of making his eyes seem intense. Weirdly intimidating lol.

Best time to be watching video games!

Thank y'all

@humanity: The pre-shows are always so good, they always should have been parts of the show-show

The best video in this series is going to be the one where all the intros are strung together after it's over.

There's also prominent Red Stripe product placement in Dr. No.

upsetting that dan beats the street level, bond walks away with explosions behind him, AND ALL THREE OF THEM DONT EVEN LOOK AT THE SCREEN

It's weird to see them talking about arcades. In 2018, I discovered I live in the next town over from Europe's biggest arcade.

And fuck me is that a good day out!

I would legitimately love a show with nothing but banter and Tricaster shenanigans.

Bond doesn't drink the Heineken himself but he's happy to hand it off to someone else

I'm pretty sure Quantum of Solace was about oil not water.

the greatest nut shot in video games has gotta be God Hand

I know it's not a great game, but The Order: 1886 is undeniably one of the greatest looking (technically) games of all time.

The Daniel Craig Bond films grossed more than the Brosnan ones even after adjusting for inflation

@elko84: it's about water.

AN MR-RL TIME

I suddenly and inexplicably feel an urge to resubscribe to Game Informer

@vinny If you're looking for something to watch I'd recommend The Americans, its about Russian spies in the US who've lived their for most of their lives during the Cold War. It's on prime streaming if you have a sub with them.

Does at not work on iOS? I tried sending Vinny a streaming recommendation but it looks like it's just displaying plain text.

@vinny@danryckert the last two James Bond movies almost made 1 billion dollars in gross each.

I'm surprised Dan doesn't play with the 'Solitaire' controls, where the C-Buttons are WASD, and the control stick is full x and y analog aiming. Anyone I knew that was any good at this game (or Perfect Dark) swore by this method. Maybe that was just me and my friends. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?

Streets gave us perhaps the greatest speedrunning video of all time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYmqJl4MoNI

Okay but seriously who the eff cares about Tetris? There's nothing valuable or interesting to say about Tetris in 2019.

@cameltoe13: cool guys don't look at cool guys not looking at explosions

Alex with that midnight society reference.

Wow. Dan was a completely different person back then. He looked thrilled to be working at GameStop.

I'm not saying they need to focus 100% on the game they're playing but this is a bit ridiculous. Not even Dan, who is "playing" the game is paying attention.

You... know what game won GOTY 2018, right? It's OK to not like a game and not try to bring other people down.

@butterstick1: That sounds... so much more natural.

Man, every time I see Streets I think of this video, which is even more relevant since speedrunning was discussed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYmqJl4MoNI

Oh God, Vinny does the whole "hey guys, watch this video and find it funny!" thing. Granted, they may have genuinely found it funny, but it's one of the worst things friends can do to each other.

And they top it off by showing a bit of Macgruber, oh boy!

In Depot I think you start with the PP7 and a silenced MP5 in you inventory but my memory is hazy. This level does respawn enemies endlessly because I remember holding up in a room right it the end of the level and just shooting wave after wave of them until I got bored as I loved using the dual MP5's.

Abby on assignment.

Chromecast broken again on this one :(

Dan's attempt at a British accent is actually way better than everyone else's regular 'aylO mAry pOppins' bullshit.

QuantumofSolace is actually very solid, much better than Skyfall.

Also, Season 2 of TrueDetective was great

That RDR2 impressions video sounded like Patrick Warburton doing a cowboy voice.

HEINEKEN?!

Hot take: The Wii U is the best Nintendo console. People get way to hung up on sales figures.

It may be a small thing, but I really appreciate how they thought ahead with the double zeros in their show titles so that the 7th episode would be 007.
