Burgle My Bananas: Episode 01

This is the kind of silliness I can get behind.

I thought I knew joy before this, but I was mistaken. I was seeing without color and singing in a foreign language, ignorant of all nuance. Thank you, Giant Bomb.

@chasercr: You couldn't play the game without it.

Love every part of this

I hope they send something to Antarctica

Burgle My Bananas is such a great name.

I love the Dan Ryckert bald spot cam.

This is so fucking dumb. I love it.

This is so much but I love it.

I think Dan may be Hideo Kojima.

Loving the silliness of it all, although the game itself seems tedious.

To make the entire meta game gambling more pointless, they should add Quidditch rules where the final golden banana collected is worth a billion bananas.

Also, I hope this feature doesn't mean Abby won't finish RE4.

Hey Don,

Where can I pick up the home edition of this?

and by Don I mean Business Dave(@BusinessDaveSF)...

I love GiantBomb.

I love the concept but man, I hate this game. Watching it. Playing it. A Hat in Time might have been a better choice.

this is the greatest thing ever made of all time.... fantastic job gb E crew

I turned on my Amazon Fire TV and saw the still of Dan in his gold jacket and Abby in the monkey suit, and I thought "What the hell is this?" Then I remember, "Oh yes, this is why I tune in the Giant Bomb. This insanity." Speaking of insanity, those rules. I am going to need a chart to follow along, please.

Please introduce the rules every week. This is wonderful.

I'm buying whatever Dan is selling

I started my premium again just for this, and they start Vinnyvania again. More random goofy things the better. Or things like learning to fly with Drew, etc. Looking forward to more.

I know he's actually done it, but yeah, watching this made it click for me that Dan would be a perfect heel manager for an indie wrestling promotion.

Love everything about this... including the much-maligned game itself lol.

This is maybe the best thing yet that GBE has done. I'm loving it! lol

I’m a game designer and that looks fucked up.

Please keep all the spins, it may seem wildly abundant but considering how many broken game elements this structure has it will seriously help with pacing and seems to provide the most entertainment (so far anyway).

@unique: I don’t think it’s stretched, DK64 is one of the N64 games that supported widescreen

This is 100% the dumb shit I want from this site!

No Alex :(

My issues with this is that Donkey Kong 64 doesn’t have the same appeal as Mario Sunshine because at least with that there were moments where Nintendo’s game design really stood out and you had reasons to like it and keep watching but this game just looks like it’s going to get old fast with nothing to break away from that.

YES. THIS IS AWESOME. THAT IS ALL.

This will now be my main source of potassium.

Great execution but not the best pick of game. I'm not sure I can weather much of it. I'd much rather Mario 64, in this vein.

wow this is incredible

Dan Ryckert is an ideal Damon Killian, and, I mean, it is 2019 (when The Running Man is set). Perhaps a plot twist awaits...

Wait, you made this premium on the site, but then immediately posted it to youtube as "premium unlock"?

just seems strange.

My new favorite thing is Dan trying to read wine labels.

They should do a series featuring Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 called Ransack My Rings. Anybody that can beat a level is declared Beast God for the week.

Bungle My Beans is my favorite new Alex-less feature.

"horn thing" lol you mean a Phonograph. Aka a record player.

this is a mess

They do this so people can see the first episode of these series.

Mike Mahardy looks like an early 00's teen heart-throb.

"You ask!?" Some real good timing in that intro.

peak giant beast

now set a new record, dont jump the shark lol

Man this feature is ridiculous and a lot of fun. GBEast continues to put out great content!

One suggestion: I think sponsoring a kong is a good idea, but tripling a sponsor is way too powerful. I know with the wheel spins, the idea isn't for this whole thing to be incredibly balanced, but still.

Wow, this game looks way worse than I remember. I completed it 100% as a kid and I remember mostly enjoying it.

Abby looked thrilled...

Oh my god, thank you GBE

Dan getting repeatedly fucked by the wheel is just perfect.

GB always needs to have a running game show, this is just the best.

Are they seriously going to count whether they had 150 token to buy those special items?
