Jedi Knight II best Star Wars game ever?

The Brads Per Hour are pretty high in this TNT. I mean, Brad dies in God Mode. Twice.

Even the gods cannot help Bradley.

Pretty quick

@kibles There are variables, and there are constants. Some things cannot be changed.

When did they show Rebel Assault?

Pretty damn quick.

As some who works second shift and has to miss almost every live stream you guys do unless I have the day off, I sincerely appreciate how fast you get these archived.

Quoting because I also want to know.

Brad plays Jedi Outcast exactly like I did. With all the cheats on, only playing the first and last levels.

@uberexplodey: Never. But they might do more games tomorrow.

Best game featuring a lightsaber for sure.

I am transfixed by the video arcade cabinet attract screen playing behind Ryan at the start of the show.

Shit son is that Jedi Academy in the screen shot?

I hope it is.

That game is the best

There needs to be more Gladius here. By far the best Lucasarts game!

My vote for best Star Wars game has to go to KOTOR. Or are we just talking about what Lucas Arts actually developed?

People like us, we know how to live. I had all the cheats bound to keys so I could maximize SaberRealisticCombat and spawn Reborn and Lando at will.

The Dig and Full Throttle were my favorite Lucas Arts games. Grim Fandango is third.

Saber Realistic Combat is THE BEST cheat ever. There was a mod that used that and played this song and spawned endless enemies and I played that for hours. Man, LucasArts was like every game I played when I was younger.

I think they played the Sega CD version of Rebel Assault.

*pours one out for Lucas Art*

As far as I am concerned it is.

Fucking Jeff, Episode 1 Racer was a great game.

I've been really itching to throw my old CD back in. It was the only one of that specific line of games I've played, but I quite loved it (barring some abysmal level design here and there).

Ryan isn't using his MacBook stand!

I caught the last half of this live. Did they just play Star Wars games? LucasArts did other stuff.

Thanks to this I started playing Kotor again. I had started it a few months back but stopped after a few hours. Now I'm back into it, and it's starting to pick up. Thanks!

Don't get the negativity about Dark Forces? "It looks like a Doom mod"...yeah, it's a Build Engine game, of course it looks Doom, but it certainly plays almost nothing like it.

Eh, that's just a knee-jerk response from Brad, who doesn't seem to be able to take anything that isn't graphically proficient seriously.

No Rogue Squadron?

Bummed about no TIE Fighter here. Man that was a good game!

What...no Gladius?! Gladius was freaking amazing.

Dan was pretty great. Also Andy Bauman is an awesome hardcore PC Gamer, if you're gonna take a look at a bunch of old PC games get that dude on board!

@hamst3r: Thank you so much for this.

Glad they got this out of their system tonight instead of on Unprofessional Fridays.

One phrase sums it up: "Brad at games."

@hamst3r said:

Ol' Two Lunches Shoemaker. Got me laughing right off the bat. None of the games looked all that great though. I know KOTOR is a Bioware game but it is my favorite Star Wars game for sure.

Absolutely. Setting saberrealisticcombat to 999 and making a lightsaber be like a damn lightsaber ought to be is the way to go.

Wait, so they start out the LucasArts TNT with a Pandemic Studios game? That makes sense.

Thank you for this.

When someone asked about Fracture i wasn't sure if Jeff was feigning ignorance or he really didn't remember that game. I'm not too surprised as it's not a very memorable game, Vinny only gave it two stars.

If they were gonna play JK2 they should've set up a server and make this a proper TNT. It's been awhile since i played that game online with anybody.

Fuck, that PS2 is tiny.

As soon as I saw Rosh Penin's face in the thumbnail, I knew it was on!

X-Wing, Tie Fighter, Jedi Knights II, and KoToR. Do you really need anything else from the LucasArts Star Wars catalog?

Who let Brad play games again?

Dark Forces was the 2nd game I bought with my own money, after NBA Live 95. I just loved how it had this great Star Wars experience without any bloody Jedi/Force nonsense. And then in the sequel they turned Katarn into a Jedi, of course -_-. Dark Forces was the first FPS with jump, crouch, look up and look down (set to Page Up and Page Down iirc) so people really need to give it its' props. That sewer level....

Still have a really specific memory of Jedi Knight II. Getting on those Gamespy servers and beating an entire clan in duel mode felt really good.
