Quick Question with Jeff Bakalar: Ep. 06 - Hi Abby!

That studio is very nice and seeing Abby and Jeff in there makes me very jealous. This whole thing is too professional.

It'd be really funny if they bleeped the like & subscribe youtube plug at the end of these videos.

I was wondering what was up with the NES Gauntlet cuts there, but that was answered for me by the end.

Vinny, y'all and CNET should swap studios for a day. Don't even announce it's going to happen. Just do it for a day and freak people out.

I've got a question for you Geoff... How can both of you be so wrong by picking Skyrim over Yakuza 0?

Bakalar is a a member of Giant Bomb. At this point, it should be official.

@s5n8k3: I'm confused as to why she thinks people hate the Wii. It's not the best core console but there are som great core hits. She mentioned coworkers, dont the rest of the team like the Wii for what it was? Its certainly a fine console.

Curious myself to see how often she actually revisits the Wii considering...

I guess Jeff never got the memo about Fred Perry polos (specifically black and yellow) being the official uniform for white nationalists.

@hirkz: I think around GB especially it was widely regarded as a console that moved Wii sports and then kinda chugged along with your expected Zelda and Mario release here and there, although it’s the Wii U that gets completely dismissed out of hand.

The wii was an underpowered gimmick console where the gimmick only worked in one game.

I love how this is basically just a Giant Bomb joint now.

It's been joked about before, but this is how you do synergy right - getting CNET content in front of the Giant Bomb audience in a way that feels natural and not forced, and is something that audience wants.

I'd take Yakuza 0 over Skyrim any day of the week.

Yakuza 0 is far and away the better game.

Jeff talks about being called a stoner and then I noticed something that looks a lot like a bong in the background.

First one of these I've watched but this is good!

Abby is always fun and Jeff B seems like a good duder.
