Giant Bomb Travelogue: Iceland

This was legitimately fantastic. Congrats @drewbert and @patrickklepek on a job well done.

DORF FORTRESS GUYS! What a nice surprise.

Anyway. Very well edited. Was this the entire 30 hours of so condensed into 18 minutes or are we getting more?

Now that Patrick and Drew has tasted whale and sheep's head(which is delicious btw), McDonalds is going to get McWhale and McHead.... Ok scratch that last one.

I enjoyed that whale steak vicariously. Was a great watch guys. Well done.

This was amazing.

The editing and music selection is fantastic, thanks Drew.

Fantastic editing Drew!!!

Awesome job guys. This is why Giant Bomb is the best game site going.

Such a cool video. Looks like you guys had a blast.

Drew is a beast when it comes to video editing, well done. The trip looked like it was a huge amount of fun.

If yall had as much fun making it as I did watching it, that trip must have been a few notches above "phenomenal".

Extremely well made, him and Vinny know how to edit like pros man.

Awesome video

Great Job Drew and Patrick!!

This video is amazing

THAT - is why the CBS deal can be a good thing. Fantastic, charming video and I would love to see a lot more of these.

Imagine all different GB staff checking out weird gaming subcultures around the world.

Fantastic editing Drew, great video. Best travel show I've ever watched. :) Have to take a trip to Iceland soon.

This is some of the best, most compelling content you guys have ever created. Kudos to Patrick and Drew.

Iceland looks incredible. Great video.

As Chris Traeger would say: "Your inbox is literally filled with penises."

This is great! It really hit what looks like were many great highlights and moments on the trip. And well done on the eat-anything-and-everything policy.

I really want that waffle!

Great video!

+10 points

I never usually comment on the vids here, but just had to say how good this one was. Would love to see more of the travelogue-style vids, even if just for trips within the US. Great work, Pat 'n' Drew!

@drewbert , is that a dslr? or what?

That's Baldur's Street confirmed, 2014.

Holy shit. That one shot where Drew is shooting the tarmac and then he pulls up and the Bjork quote goes into focus. Amazing.

As if I didn't already have enough places I wanted to visit, Iceland has shot way high up the list upon watching this video. It remains strange, yet beautifully true how some of this site's very best content has so little to do with actual games and I can only hope that this continues to be a trend in the years to come. I've always traveled abroad overseas without much in the way of a proper guide since I'm too damn curious to stay along the beaten path for long and I felt this video superbly captured the sense of adventure that comes with such improvisation. Great work all around and makes me proud to be a subscriber!

We need a blog post or video series from @drewbert or something. How many batteries/memory device thingies did you chew through shooting all this random stuff like Popeye the Sailor Gang and BaldursGata in the middle of random town walking?

What are these production values doing in my giant bomb?

I've eaten lamb head before. AND IT WAS DELICIOUS.

Hell I've eaten lamb brain so I am tougher than most people

Scanlon Shorts! Amazingly edited, well-paced, cinematographically captivating filmmaking. Stunning angles of the Harpa Convention Centre, and a wonderful atmosphere created overall. I'm somewhat melancholy, because I feel like your future lies somewhere beyond the walls of Giant Bomb, Drew, but for the time you're around, It's truly a pleasure to watch your work. Some of the focus-shifting (layman term - I don't possess a filmmaker's vocabulary) was perhaps a little distracting at times, but I would imagine that once you've made a stylistic decision like that, for continuity purposes, you have to stay true to it.

@monkfishesq: I'd almost be willing to bet that that's because it's the arm with the broken collar bone.

Well done Patrick and Drew! It was an awesome video. Music was great. More content like this out of Giantbomb is definitely welcome!

That Blue Lagoon place is incredible.

Drew can really cover travel exceptionally well.

Man, Drew, you've been holding out on us. You can make videos look this nice and you've been letting Jeff record I love mondays on his cell phone?

Incredible guys, looks like it was an incredible experience! :D

The scope on that Nerf Longshot was BACKWARDS!

Typical Icelanders!

Fuck you guys for eating whale! That just seems so... wrong! Looks like a fun time. I wanna go.

I really want it to happen just to see another Travelogue.

I really enjoyed that.

I know it has been said already but one of the best videos on the site. This is why I keep coming back to Giant Bomb. Well done Drew and Patrick.

Drew do a travelogue of you getting to work in the morning.

Nice work guys!

Outstanding job. Easily one of, if not, the best pieces of content on the site. Great job to you both!

Fantastic work! GoPro for filming the hot springs section?

Nothing I can say that hasn't already been said, but this is fantastic content. Really had no idea we'd be getting something of this quality out of the trip. Great work duders.

Oh man, CBS should fund Drew and Patrick going on adventures and recording it. I would subscribe to that.

Fantastic. Best video on the site, hands down.

And barely even video game related. I dunno what that says, but I don't mind.
