I'm so excited to watch this tomorrow on my train into work, this is the dream team for me.

Vinny remains a pure agent of chaos. Even when he's not the Faker, he's throwing monkey wrenches in to the game.

So cool with everyone involved. Jackbox 4 can't come soon enough.

"How did neither of those - those are sexy men!" - Austin Walker

Awesome guests! Love to see Austin back at GBE, even if it's just for a couple of hours.

Not really into these Jackbox games though, to me they seem like the sort of games that are more fun to play than to watch. But hey - here's to more Giant Bomb/Waypoint collaborations!

So many double entendres with these darn horned up millennials!

Also Austin's has a bodypillow confirmed.

What a great feeling this vid has. Just a bunch of friends having fun playing silly games. World peace, hollah back!

Holy shit, I had a Quackbusters poster on my wall too! Daffy Duck was my favorite Looney Tunes character growing up

Danika got one of the sites wrong at the end: it's not haunteddomains.com, it's haunted.domains. I'd consider buying the former to redirect to the latter, but a domain squatter already nabbed it.

@gaff: what is she, like 21?

Haven't felt this old since watching Baby Driver, where the titular Baby is not an actual baby, and grew up with an ipod.

My answer to the last Quiplash question would've been the "Bump 'n (Bone)Grinder." Or maybe for even more of a pun, make it Grindr. I'm just genuinely very proud of that idea I just had at 4 in the goddamn morning.

Love this video. Austin and Danika are awesome.

Thanks Waypoint for prompting me to look up what "snowballing" means.

I'm enjoying GBE output more.

having guest really breaks down the monotone like today's UPF

Definitely prefer the audience being turned off. With the amount of latency, it doesn't seem to work out half of the time (unless you guys started streaming from Mixer, but then obviously it couldn't be a premium stream). It also just speeds the games up a bit, which really helps for TKO since it's already very long.

I'm very happy any time Austin comes back for an appearance, and Danika is really awesome too. Very fun GBEMP! :)

@wemibelle: Yea, Jackbox kind of sucks.

The more GB/Waypoint crossovers they want to give us, the better. It always works, regardless of which site is hosting. I'd love to see Patrick and Dan bring back some spirit of competition. Maybe if we get Mario Maker 2.

Oh, and how about a Cloth Map crossover, while we're at it? ;)

this made my week

Great to see everyone get together and have fun crossover industry stuff happen. That said I do have to echo the somewhat less popular sentiment that I never find the Jackbox segments very entertaining to watch. Trivia style games are best experienced than simply watched but hey, a ton of people in the comments love it so I realize I'm in the minority on this and I also know that it's hard to find party games.

Great stream, but personally not a big fan of TKO. There can be some hilarious payoff, but man it takes sooo looooong to get there :(

Always nice when Austin makes a guest appearance. And Abby was creepy with her Freddy Kruger shirt. I'm guessing the other girl is from Waypoint and she wasn't bad. Good stream.

Slightly Drunk Abby is best Abby.

@dr_insane: Makes me wish West would drink on Fridays

Yeah, good people but Jackbox is getting stale.

Danika Harrod blocked me on twitter and it's really bugging me. I mean, I'm not some creep who gets blocked on the reg. And I don't even recall ever having an interaction with her.

End rant.

I could watch ten more hours of this.

I really enjoyed this, especially the Faker game. Sometime I have trouble with Jackbox-like games because I often find it difficult to understand the jokes (probably because I don't have the same comedic tone or familiar touchstones to pull-from as I'm from outside the US). Conversely, the Faker game is fun to watch because I know the Giant Bomb and Waypoint staff well enough to know how they should react to each question.

Faker segment was extremely my jam.

Seeing Jackbox in the thumbnail for the nth time made me sigh, but fortunately it's still good fun when it's the right people playing it. Obviously I would've liked it, if they'd managed to play some Nidhogg 2 as well.

Hmm, the faker game doesn't really work with only 4 people. It's so easy to systematically eliminate suspects each round like Austin was suggesting - at that point, why even bother with questions or trying to fake?

The audience should definitely be off for TKO so long as they stream it here--the delay is such that the audience has to vote without being able to see the shirts!

For the other games, at least the ones they played in this stream, the audience works fine, and in Quiplash it's kind of necessary, especially if they keep insisting on playing Jackbox despite only having four people. All of these games work so much better with a full set of players.

Chie sez: Steak makes the perfect snack!

Once they figured it out, Fakin' It was the best thing

@wemibelle: Agreed, Jackbox is like the Hitman 2016 that just keeps on coming back.

I definitely agree for Quiplash, but for most of the others I still prefer them without. Would love to see them get a full 6-8 players for these games, though.

I was able to buy the Homer "BACK OFF I'M A SCIENTIST MAN" shirt and I don't have the game. You just need a link like this http://games.jackbox.tv/artifact/TeeKOGame/czOI77zYjkeRsRVjPxGtIOLC09MHmWhR/

Spell that D-O-G.

That's me.

IS THIS CHRISTMAS

Watching this over again and cracking up even more now that I know who the fakers are. I wish they had more rounds in the question category the faker questions sounded like they set you up for some really dumb great answers.

Anytime Waypoint and Giant Bomb cross over, it's the BEST time.

@pimanrules said:

I dunno I think Quiplash is the worst with audience participation. The votes aren't weighted or anything so what the actual players think of each round is totally meaningless half the time.

but how do you get "a link like this" for that specific game?

Abby "Snack Steak" Russell.

@mrwoks: eeeewwwww

@mrwoks: Yuck

Austin +1
