First concert I remember going to was U2 it was when they were promoting there shitty album Discotech. I remember Bono wore this stupid muscle shirt while he was on stage.

I saw other weird concerts because of my parents when I was young. I live in Eugene Oregon the town that worshipped the Grateful Dead back in the day so I just remember weird concerts from when I was young.

In mario party i felt that you could see what was going on much better, the colors in this game aren't very well distinct from each other

At 29:28, the music in that racing game sounds exactly like the intro music to Jeff Cannata's DLC podcast.

Edit: 200mg of caffeine per 16.8 oz is more or less the same as coffee. I'm sure there's some variation involved, but a quick search says that coffee has 95 mg of caffeine per 8 oz serving, so a 16.8 oz of coffee has 199.5 mg of caffeine.

Oh wow Anarchy Reigns! That game was awesome. It was all about the multiplayer though... 16 people running around beating the shit out of each other with that Platinum combat. So good.

There's a ton of stuff coming out next week, but Brad always dismisses indies and smaller games as being noteworthy.

How someone can say this about about Brad is beyond me.

One of the best UPFs in a while. Good to have Ben back.

I hope the crew covers CrossCode soon. Game is slipping through the cracks and deserves an audience. It's the only indie JRPG I've played that has both great production and original ideas. What it doesn't have is any marketing.

I am really into looking at the cars in RGX and trying to figure out which real world cars they are based on

Edit: In action it looks a little like my favorite racing series, genki's Tokyo Extreme Racer, but that's probably unintentional.

I think Jeff Cannata would recognize the song from this game...

I believe the Donnas are still technically around, but not really. Their original drummer retired due to injury because she was apparently a self taught drummer and fucked up her arms forever.

@unastrike Hey Jason if you ever pick up Anarchy Reigns again. I believe L2 is a weapon modifier for you attacks that burns meter. Jack has a chainsaw that I don't think you used.

Anarchy Reigns is really cool and stylish, but it lacks depth. I still love it dearly though despite it's glaring issues.

@rorie I flew Ryanair about 6 times in 2010 travelling across europe, it was pretty bad, the seats were comparable to a public bus but with seatbelts, all of the airports we landed in were small rural ones well outside of all the cities we planned to be in, and the luggage limitations were very strict. But considering each flight was about 3 or 4 euro made it pretty difficult to complain.

@rorie I too find Emma Stone fetching, and Maniac is really good! She and Jonah Hill both shine. Would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Jason's announcement of begging for a drink cracked me hard. Came out of nowhere and the seriousness of his demeanour was really funny.

Jason is such a lovable dork!!

Rorie, buddy! You love dogs so much, treat them right! No human food! Dog food and dog treats only!

It is shocking how bad a lot of stuff is for dogs, from onions to garlic to raisins and so much in between.

They're dogs! They love you anyway! Giving them human food that's bad for them doesn't get you anymore love than dog treats that are healthy for them.

While the Mario Party knockoff looked bland, I feel like they would have had more fun/it would have looked more enjoyable if people actually payed attention... instead of talking at length about shady ass energy drinks that (I would hope) nobody cares about hearing on a video game show.

Though it was entertaining seeing Ben unsuccessfully trying to herd cats and get the ball rolling lol

Are you seriously going to complain about unprofessionality on UPF? Jeff and his energy drink love are well known canon. I care about his weird energy drinks on this 'video game show.'

This Mario Party rip off (why would anyone want to ripoff garbage?) wasn't worth its own segment without something crazy like the energy drink tangent.

Oral Caffeine Dosages
Threshold10 - 20 mg
Common50 - 150 mg
Strong150 - 400 mg
Heavy400 + mg
Lethal3-20 grams oral (estimated, see below)
LD50 (Lethal Dose*)192 mg/kg in rats

Onset : 5 - 10 minutes
Duration : 1.5 - 5 hours
Normal After Effects : up to 24 hours

@rayne117: I don't care about it being unprofessional (like you said, it's in the title), but all I'm saying is to at least make it fun. It's annoying when people talk over somebody trying to share something, isn't it? OF COURSE it's going to look lame when nobody pays attention and stalls the game by zoning out or actively trying to fail. It's not unprofessional, it's just rude. If y'all not feeling the game, just cut it short and talk about your energy drinks without talking over someone else.

That being said, it's really not something to get in an argument over, it was just that it rubbed me the wrong way. Sorry if that ticked you off as well.

btw I didn't mean literally shady about the drinks. Thanks for the caffeine breakdown though. Educational.

Gimmicky energy drink conversations have been a part of Giant Bomb since before Giant Bomb existed.

i feel like there were like two conversations going on for the entirety of this video, and one of them was just rorie, saying anything

It was a dark time when Rorie was gone from Giant Bomb. Every day since he was hired back is a blessing.
