Those ripped tracks. Hilarious.

He didn't answer for the Puddle of Mudd. Probably best to remain silent and dodge that one.

Never played this game, but it seems better than Dark Souls.

Austin with the Chance references, I still care about mixtapes too, just wish Coloring Book was a little less Jesus Christ Superstar, and a little more Acid Rap 2.

So strange hearing them talk about EB as if it doesn't exist. Here in Canada EB is basically the only place to get video games that you can't find at a Walmart/Best Buy. Mind you, we have very few GameStops (which I'm pretty sure owns EB). There are 4 EB's within a 10 minute drive from my house, one of which is across the street from the mall that has another.

I know this is crazy but how do I replay the part of the stream where it's just music? There's some good background music in there that I want more of.

@stanleynipple: are you talking about when they are setting up and there's a splash screen of luchadeer? There is a thread that has all (most?) of the music that is used for that.

It's pretty much the same over here in Australia. I've never seen a GameStop in my life, but we've had EB games for as long as I can remember, except it used to be called Electronics Boutique before GameStop bought them out. I always assumed that our EB's are exactly the same as American GameStops and it's just a regional branding deal.

As an aside, back in the early 2000's when it was still called Electronics Boutique they used to get a lot of grumpy old men coming in looking for diodes and resistors, etc., so I always figured that was why they changed the name.

@ohnooh: LOL yes, I definitely saw that a bunch too. The one I went to had a sign that made it look like a smoking lounge, it was like dark wood and gold lettering that said "Electronics Boutique". Then you went inside and it was a wall of n64 games, which, I suppose might kill a person faster than smoking.

I kid, of course.

I always thought that place looked so great, and then when they re-branded, even as a kid I was like...why? Yes, this is more video-gamey, but it was so cool before. I guess they were looking to reach out to a younger audience.

One of my favorite games of all time. It is unbelievably good. I bought all the re-releases. So much fun.
