GBEast is still killing it. How come West doesn't have a single interesting show like this, or sunshine? Ranking of fighters was cool, but that was abandoned right away, unfortunately. I'd love to see shenanigans like these with Jeff and Brad!

@null_subject: I’m on board 100% GB East is killing it. GB West is sleeping or something. All in all I’m thankful for GB East it keeps me coming back.

What?! West have Game Tapes, Demo Derby and VRodeo which, to me, are some of the best Premium shows this site is currently doing and much more interesting than Sunshine or XCOM. Ranking of Fighters wasn't abandoned right away, they did a bunch of episodes and then said they would stop until they could get a new video producer. The only reason it seems that West was producing less content was because they were taking care of a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff, but they're definitely not sleeping. And there's also the Bombcast that has been fantastic in the last couple of months and it's what keeps me coming back the most.

This was just an one-off stream, made possible because they got that oven and aren't as busy finishing up GOTY stuff.

VRodeo might as well be dead and Demo Derby was great when Drew and Dan were on it. Nothing to do with Brad and Ben, they all just seem bored as hell in that series and with D&D&Jeff they actually tried caring about playing the demos and watching the videos. Now they can't seem to get more than a few minutes into whatever they're looking at before someone's wanting to be done with it.

This feature was great and Dan getting cut off in the end sure was fine timing.

Make, like, a salsa from fresh ingredients or something. Watching adults eat (and not even enjoy) easy bake oven food was devoid of entertainment.

@johnymyko: agreed, you do have a valid point. I didn't take GOTY into consideration when I made my comment. I think I just enjoy the silliness / wackiness of GB East

Fun stream but super gross and not really what I come to this site for. 100% will skip food-based features in the future.

I've not watched it all but have to get this out of my system - Abby, Dan and Vinny are the Blue Peter presenters that we need, but don't deserve.

Dan's questions in this video are really fucking stupid, even by Dan standards, which is an already low bar. Never change!

I would totally pay some micro transactions for a show of Dan trying to cook something remotely meant for adults, blue apron and the like.

Abby's plot to poison and take over GBE is going well, if a little more conspicuously than I'd expected.

I'm still waiting for the show where Dan and Vinny build a shelf.

Dan's timing during the fadeout was impeccable.

This would have been an amazing big live, live show segment (live), but i'm not so sure as a standalone, anyways, is always fun to see the crew react to new situations.

So this isn't how a normal american dinner is made, right? This is just some fun little thing kids do when their parents are at least pretending to watch them?

All I ask is that real-world melted cheese not be a part of the video recording. I still have Extra Life nightmares....

(Virtual cheese is fine)

(EDIT) oh thank god, it's baking. They're just baking. Cheese isn't involved in baking..... Unless Dan does something he shouldn't....

No of course not, the Easybakes we use are larger and has a mechanism to pull food in. The ingredient containers aren't like this, they are premixed and numbered so all you need to do it push it into the different numbered slots and the machine puts the food together and cooks it. Then the food cubes come out like they should. Pretty easy, Bon'a patite!

Not that I wouldn't agree to a degree, but could we maybe have one GBeast video without someone complaining about GBWest in the comments?

I thought this'd be some multiplayer mayhem, but boy was I wrong...and I'm glad I was!

I'm so sick of seeing "Non-GMO" on stuff at the store that I'd probably buy something that says "made with GMOs" just on principle, even if I didn't need it. Anti-science dorks ruin everything.

As much as I would love Caravella's Chitchen to become a feature, expecting Vinny's family to sign off on that is prooooobaaablyyyyyy...a bit much :D

And they don't have a GB kitchen in the studio, plus I imagine there are loads of restrictions re: handling food in the CBS building, etc etc

@awkwardl0ser: A few minutes later, Vinny, not looking away from the screen, says to no one in particular, "Is it going to be one of these?" just had me howling. I love the GBE chemistry! The only thing missing was Alex. If I had one wish for GB, it would be that the East guys find a bigger studio.

Oh come on, this was a fun and creative show. I did not expect it going in, and laughed a lot. Thumbs up in my book.

So much negativity to a fun holiday feature showing us how to cook some nice meals.

In ever sense Face/Off is terrible. The concept is stupid. The execution of the idea is so careless. The script is awful. The acting from Cage and John are bad. They don't even have the same body builds or bone structure. Everything about that film is shit.

This was such an enjoyable thing to have on in the background while working on another project. Please do more things like this! I also feel like I should enjoy cook serve delicious but it just is too hectic and with all the hotkeys on PC I fell off it super fast.

Dan you should learn how to cook & or bake. It is satisfying to go "I want this" and then have that item you wanted. If I could go back and learn a skill when I was younger it would be cooking instead of waiting until I was in my mid 20s.
