Wow, possibly the most obnoxious quick look ever. But I just muted the sound and yeah, this looks like it's lost a bit of the charm of the previous one but still a must buy for $40 given all the hours my friends and I put into 2017.

Nothing I want to hear more than Kessler and Ryan argueing first thing in the morming. Bickerbickerbickerbicker. And I avoided EDF 2017 because of what Ryan said, and insects especially do not interest me, but damn this looks fun!...sort of. EDF 2017 is in it's wrapper still, and it looks like it may have a friend soon...

Looks like fun for five minutes. After that, it seems like the most boring, repetitive stuff ever.

Also, I know picking on Kessler is kind of an established behavior at Whiskey Media, but it'd be nice if at some point they (especially Ryan) didn't rag on him just for comedic value.... When he screws up, it's fun. When it's just because, it's kind of obnoxious.

Man, intern hazing is one thing, but that? Kessler, you are either utterly insane or don't have a shred of dignity if you take that kind of abuse publicly.
 
Its for our entertainment(I hope?), but still....man.

Who gave the interns the suggestion that they could run things? Seems that the staff needs to do some watching of Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods to find something to equal the taste testing of the Surströmming to help get the interns back in their place :P.

It's a joke. It's not like they are being genuinely horrible to him. It's pretty obvious letting him review games and be in quick looks that he is the most respected of the interns.

Maybe I don't watch enough other random GB stuff, but does Kessler actually work there, or is he just showing off the game?

I know he's listed as a freelancer.

Forget you guys, I enjoyed this quicklook and I enjoyed Kessler in it.

Edit: Also, I definitely thought at the beginning of this video that this game was somehow in the warped timeline of THQ games when I saw "EDF".

I was borderline on this, after mildly enjoying 2017, but after watching this, I'll think I'll pass. Thanks Giant Bomb, you've saved me £25.

I don't find Kessler annoying and I don't buy into the fake mean banter and feel sorry for the "bullied" Kessler. If you are in either of those camps then that sucks for you, because I had a good time.

Yeah I know, right? How is it even possible to be more of an asshole than you, SuperSambo? Kessler did great and it's obvious that he is the intern they most believe in since he gets to do a lot of stuff.
