Holiday Specialtacular 2016: Hitsmas

Merry Hitsmas!

*canned applause*

I thought was tired of Hitman videos. But then this happened.

Specifically Vinny's segment. Holy shit.

Another two hours...

Contentgasm!

This is what I've been looking for.

just hook it to my veins

Excellent! This looks fun!

TTB - 14:25

Jeff's Jurassic World sweater! He always talks about how much of a fan he is of that movie.

Whoo?

So much content!

I need Vinny's sweater in my life for myriad reasons.

1 minute in and this is perfect :D Merry Hitmas to everyone!

@flasaltine: And how...

This is wonderful!

I want to put out an elusive contract on Vinny's dirty fingernails.

HELMET FUCKING KREUGER!!!

I need to know where Vinny got that sweater.

Never listen to Dan. He barely understands how the game works.

Three Things:

(1) In hindsight, it would have been really cool (like, REALLY COOL) to see them hold some sort of contest before this where 4 community members make a specific contract for each of them. This is essentially what contracts mode was made for; kill so-and-so with this weapon while disguised as this person. You could even include a wild card in the mission description - "Also, Mr. Gerstmann, we'd like you to set off an explosion in the catwalk room for no goddamned reason." It at least would have been interesting if they had made contracts for each other before this.

(2) Dan's rule about not being allowed to subdue a target before killing them is some major BS. If you're smart enough to subdue someone, hide their body, change into the disguise/weapon you need, and make your way back to finish them off, you should totally be permitted to do that.

(3) I'm obviously nitpicking in the interest of giving constructive criticism. This was still fantastic.

I fucking love how Brad is just the worst actor ever. It gets me every time. I imagine that's exactly how I would act.

That was great.

Don't let anyone hold you back, Vinny.

Great show guys, thanks for the entertainment!

Vinny is the best.

- that knife toss

- that knife throw

- wallhack subdue prompt

Brad "I totally got better at this" Shoemaker. Nice.

If they weren't so scared of guns they would have a much easier time with this game.

Goddamn amazing.

When Vinny casually threw the knife over the ledge, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

This run by Vinny holy fuck

To quote Austin Walker, GB alumnus:

VINNY!

7 minutes in this is already the best idea ever.

I was bamboozled into thinking Brad actually knew what he was doing.

Zulu formation ain't nothing when you a knife throwing mofo like Helmut Kruger.

Brad and Dan have always been terrible at Hitman... but that's what makes it fun to watch. Happy Holidays.

.....where can I get those sweaters...?!

"You could become the Vampire Magician...." (Brad Shoemaker) If not the best spoken comment from GB staff of 2016 it's pretty damn close.

1:07:54 Dude did you see that shit?! I mean did you actually see that shit bro?! Next level Hitman big plays...

I was not prepared for how long these videos would be and I am elated.

I really don't understand why they never shoot anyone. The guns aren't that awful to use. They're actually alright.

@knotley: @milkman: You can find the sweater on a little site called Amazon

Best moment of 2016 has to go to the 1:24 mark.

How is that after all this time Jeff is the only one who pays even the slightest bit of attention to the minimap when he's played the game only a couple times?

For real though...this video is the best. I cracked up like half a dozen times just watching Vinny's run alone.

1:25:17 Straight up murder!

Oh wow

Hitman is the new Metal Gear Scanlon. It just keeps on delivering.

This might be the best thing they've done with this game.

It does not matter what it is, Vinny will find a way to break your game, and it's GLORIOUS!!!

The contrived introductions to these videos are so good
