Quick Look: Adventures of Pip

It doesn't matter if you're 8, 16, or quasi-32 bits. Dan and Jeff don't judge. We're all just pixels.

Sit back and enjoy as the Giant Bomb team takes an unedited look at the latest video games.

Gee, a pixelated platformer. Never seen one of those before.

That said, it was kind of cool watching Dan and Jeff-- two guys with a ton of gaming experience-- try to figure out that boss.

Gimmick isnt specifically a wrestling term, but it is used often by fans and wrestlers. I don't even watch wrestling and I know that.

@tallonkarrde23: oh for god's sake, are you really using *that* to strengthen your argument that Dan's a dummy? Of all things, THAT's what you go with? Not even the egg shell bit?

Lack of intimate knowledge of a thing does not preclude fandom of that thing.

Great another pixel platform. As someone that didn't grow up on this stuff, I am getting pretty sick of these.

Maybe don't play them, then.

I think I saw a review for this a few months ago on pc, and it still looks like the most appealing of the 'evolving sprite' games, maybe because it has a touch of the shovel knight about it and looks relatively easy to understand in terms of mechanics but has enough complexity in terms of platforming timing to maintain a balance. Still really like the art style.

I feel like I played this a long time ago. Was there ever some kind of early build available on the internet?

The PC and Wii U versions came out like 2 months ago.

Was longer than that I think. Possibly related to the kickstarter for it. Can't find any trace of any downloads though, it's super weird.

This game seems pretty alright, will probably check it out down the line. Seems to have enough gameplay mechanics to keep it interesting over the length of the game.

@amyggen: Hard to just assume he "obviously" knows something after he couldn't even tell who a main character in "his favorite piece of entertainment ever made in any medium ever" was on multiple occasions. I could totally see him thinking "gimmick" was a term coined or at least popularized by Vince McMahon.

Which occasions are you talking about?

I like the dynamic between Dan and Jeff. Jeff always sounds like a patient parent on QLs with Dan, like a dad who indulges his son's imagination... but 5 minutes later they'll discuss something and he'll give Dan some soft advice, almost like a mentor. It's cute.

I see Dan still says katchup like a crazy person

Don't watch MGScanlon, cause he says "nukyuler" constantly.

Neither is as frequent or as crazy-making as Jeff constantly saying "chennel".

Man, I thought I was the only person who thought he said channel slightly oddly.

Dan also tends to sound like he's talking with too much saliva in his mouth.

I really like the idea of this game but there is something about fake low-res flash game graphics I just can't stand... Vector graphics are cool but not for "pixel" graphics.

I was OK with the excuse "neeeh it's pixel cause limitations." Now I just want it to stop.
