I have a feeling Abby would have been awesome at this game (especially with her improv background). Unfortunately I don't think text-to-speech is in the game anymore? Would have been cool to see her on this.

Man, I don't know quite why, but there's something deeply unsettling about these kinds of chat games. Despite how amazing Vinny is in this I just can't watch this. I've tried several times and have to stop after about 10 minutes every time.

You are a beautiful soul @vinny. It's something we've always known, but sometimes that fact just comes right to the front.

Does this game support rooms with your friends? Because I'm sure many of us would to see a the Giant Bomb crew roleplaying on the Velvet Sundown.

I went a full hour into watching this, not realizing that they were other human players. Thinking they were Computer AI made it way funnier.

Hey. If I want to chug a beer and then wash it down with a can of gravy while wearing my denim jacket and nothing else at 6:30am, I can. Why? Because Rowsdower.

Well this was incredible. The broken English chatting was a weird kind of great.

If only Vinny could somehow play every character in this game at the same time.

I'm not sure the universe could hold itself together with that much Vinny role-playing, but yes.

If this website was literally nothing but Vinny playing games nobody's heard of, I would still pay for a subscription.

...yeah I probably would too.

I'll just assume this game is a very realistic recreation of what it's like the be in the Scientology Sea Org.

This is so weird. It's the best when people play along with Vinny.

I hope we don't end up with Vinny playing Second Life.

I also love how everyone is doing their best Francis York Morgan hands while talking.

My first time through this, I somehow bullshited everyone into giving me both companies data, the $100,000, a lacy red thong, countless free drinks, and I smoked the [REDACTED].

If I'm that good at bullshiting, I suppose I should run for public office...

So I played this a bit, and when it works it is pretty fun. You basically need the right people who are going to try and complete the objectives and role play, but do it in a funny way. People who take the game part too seriously ruin it, as to trolls, and AFKers. Vinny is like the perfect person to play this with it seems!

@hubrisranger: Is that why Vinny was constantly finishing half a sentence and starting a new one? Hmm..

Yes, and it actually got worse on the game itself. In this video, all the phrases eventually pop up, they just take a while and then woul doverlap. When I was playing before they turned Text-to-Speech off, things I was saying were just disappearing. they disabled it so people could talk more clearly, but it did lose something. Hopefully their servers and services can keep up with the new load coming up on Steam brought them...and this video, I'm sure.
