Bridge contructing is best when it just barely works at all. Convoys are for chumps.

Well, I was looking forward to Vinny building some Portal bridges, but...did we really need everyone in on this QL? At the very least they could've sent Dan out for sandwiches or something.

This looks alright actually! The momentum preservation through portals, bouncy gels, and jump pads give the vehicles a lot of new mobility options that seems to allow for some next level bridge building problem solving.

@vicious17:

I'm incredibly happy that a .gif of this exists. Still hilarious.

It's too good of a GB moment not to be. Especially since that bit of magic was the random bridge they clicked on immediately after Vinny said, "You can watch replays of everyone else's bridge, and there are some SPECTACULAR bridges."

I need two series in my life

"Vincenzo Caravella - Truck or Die"

and

"Vinny The Engineer"

And he must use the appropriate head attire for each series of course.

Pretty cool to have a 4-person quick look. Kind of a rarity.

And I'll admit that adding the Portal license does make Bridge Constructor's gameplay more interesting to me.

Anyone remember Pontifex? I was surprised to see these games popular again considering I played a lot of Pontifex in like 2002 and then haven't really seen a bridge construction game afterwards until in recent years.

That was great. None of their bridges should have worked but a number did.

Seems proficient. I think Poly Bridge is still better but they used the Portal aesthetic well.

It's on phones too. It's nice being able to toggle roads by clicking them, but to move nodes you gotta hold them down for a second and it's kind of cumbersome on phones.

Always great to see Vinny play a bridge constructor game. This one actually looks like something I might check out myself too.
