Fortnite With St. Vincent! (Eventually): Episode 1

NEW SHOW!!!

move out of the way Ninja here comes a new challenger.

Confession: I don't know Who's St. Vincent? until Ben's wiki read

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

This is truly great.

I've had a sudden urge to play fortnite lately and this happens

Didn't St. Vincent write a song about Abby and have a phone conversation with her?

the first 5 minutes of this video made me cry laughing and i had to pause to post this

Didn't you do a podcast with St Vincent?

Late last year I was ill for a bit and had real trouble doing anything but sleeping, I listened to the first St Vincent Album on loop for about 8 hours and felt human again.

I love this!

Gotta ask what the plan is if it turns out you matched against her and killed her on stream?

I can't wait until the sequel to this series called "Bjork-nite."

This type of content is incredibly on brand for Giant Bomb and it's awesome!

If I could give you an upvote I would. Well done.

Really hoping St. Vincent sees this!

I hope she sees this bro. This is the hardest I've laughed at GB content in a while. Keep up the good work!

@stuewe: hahahahhaha

This is great

"can you imagine being claire saffitz and getting a DM from st. vincent being like 'i love your youtube show!'"

TFW you look up claire saffitz and realize she has more followers on the gram than annie clark. even further- in a post covid world, it's arguable youtubers are the onlystars now.

this endeavor has 100% of my support.

I still don't know who St. Vincent is but I am all for this.

I hope they continue playing fortnite. Their banter is amazing.

This can go one of 3 ways.

Annie doesn't acknowledge (the guy who kept eating photos of Jason Segel)

Annie acknowledges but doesn't respond (Nintendo hinting that they know about, but never retweeting, the photo of the good Toad)

Annie acknowledges, responds, and joins the GB crew for a game (sort of like the McElroys demanding to be in Trolls 2, except Abby doesn't have a TV show and an actual Hollywood agent who can get her movie roles)

I assume the next version of this feature will be getting Ellen Degeneres to play Apex with Abby

I've literally never heard of St. Vincent but I'm a fan now I guess...

Boy, I fundamentally do not get the appeal of this game, but I do like St Vincent so I guess I'll look forward to the day she actually does join the stream.

My friends and I have gotten really into fortnite over the quarantine and just...god it's so much better at being a service game than any other game.

Every other game has worse everything.

It's wild.

They could've called it Love This Giant Bomb, but then David Byrne would've showed up and you know he bogarts all the good loot.

I can't believe you got IT to make an email for this.

This was really entertaining!

This is your friendly reminder that the instrumentals from St. Vincent's "Savior" sound like if Animal Crossing had a strip club:

This whore ordeal was a travesty

@christmasunicorn: Helps that fortnite doesnt need the money so they dont force it down your throat. Other games need money badly. Opposed to what people say, the game updates and keeps things fresh (at cost of overworked employees) and its commendable that the game is updated tons sad on the employees. I know many gamers who think its stupid and kiddy so its bad and it changes too much etc but those are a loud minority. Its a nice free game.

Abby its time to be the best fortnite player!

Oh man. Another great series in lockdown. Abby out here killin it and taking names

Is it bad I read the title and automatically assumed St. Vincent was Vinny?

Broke: Abby plays with St. Vincent

Woke: Abby plays with every member of the Polyphonic Spree but St. Vincent

@mors:

Bespoke: Abby plays Fortnite with Sufjan Stevens while St Vincent does gentle background vocals.

what is this game

@foreveralice: No games for Sufjan until he finishes all of those state albums.

Wow, I had no idea St. Vincent started off with the Polyphonic Spree. They're one of my favorite bands. I've seen them and Tripping Daisy live a lot. Always a good show, great time and excellent music.

Many many years ago, in Upstate NY, I saw a Polyphonic Spree show that had like 20 people in the audience at peak. There were more people in the band than the crowd. It was super weird, but they still brought it and played one of their best shows. During intermission, I was having a break outside and my hero Tim DeLaughter comes up and talked to me for like 10 minutes. It is one of my favorite memories. Have to wonder if St. Vincent was singing with them then...

Anyway, I hope Abby gets to play Fortnite with one of her heroes. Rooting for you.

When St Vincent does finally play with Abby, it will be the crossover event i never knew I needed or wanted. Can't wait till this will inevitably happen!

i can respect the hustle

John Boyega actually has a skin in Fortnite Ben! (Star Wars crossover)

This is great and I love the almost “This is the Run” feel of it.

This was a great vid!

Jeff is still waiting to play Haze with Jonathan Davis.

you almost had it. Nice plays

Fingers crossed for Abby! Seems like the perfect time to get your favorite musician to do weird things.

I don't love Fortnite but I like St. Vincent, so I hope this collab happens! Also, happy third anniversary with Giant Bomb, Abby! (At least it has been three years since the first time we saw you here on video!)

When I was at UNT, 1 in 4 musicians I met were in Polyphonic Spree.

My brother once played an upstairs set that overlooked the stage below, where St. Vincent was playing so I always like saying he opened for her.

is it weird that i would play fortnite if it didnt have the building stuff? I like how the game plays but the building is just too much for me! Anyways, this is an awesome feature! Can't wait for more!

hi abby im sam vincent. im very impressed. good job.
