I think this game has a lot of potential, and I hope it gets fine-tuned in the future. I've always wanted to have a pet robot!

By "potential" do you mean decades for voice/speech recognition to get not-shit?

I can wait!

I attribute this greatness to Max. Only a patient parent would sit through all that craziness with a smile.

This game's voice detection is the best way to come up with a cool band name.

Edit: actually, some of these misunderstandings are pretty deep.

Well that was entertaining. It's an alright looking game, though needs a little work, and maybe something funky happened with the voice config at the start.

This was magical and Vinny was the perfect man for the job, hell, perhaps the only man who could have survived as long as he did. Jeff would have peaced after 5 minutes. Haven't laughed that much in a long time. One of the best videos on the site, bravo Giantbomb East, I was worried about the move but I'm glad we're getting even more Vinny content than ever.

Why did Jimmy walk off to be by himself in the hallway? And this guy must be the stupidest and laziest spy every if he can't even do things like close doors and not reverse the positions of salt and pepper grinders and instead makes a robot do it for him while he stands outside staring in the window masturbating to the robot cleaning the house.

You cant write an ending to a quick look better than that. Thats why GB is what it is, its not the quantity of content, its those spontaneous moments and personalities. Vinny is one of a kind and lucky to have him provide this kind of fun entertainment.

Rewatching this while I work. That moment 23 minutes in, after Vinny has read a novella of backstory for the voice trainer, when the gibberish characters appear - THE BEST SHIT EVER.

When GBNY was announced, I said they needed more than two guys.

I rescind that statement.

What we see here is commercial voice-over Vinny in training.

So basically you talk to Microsoft Sam with an Ipad, great video. I can't wait for games like this to get better so they understand different accents, and speech patterns or even just understand what the hell you are saying.

I'm an Engineer and I occasionally work with a piece of shit software, that I thought had the worst speech training setup ever...but this is just hilarious. Vinny seems to think so as well. Good times.

This is the first time I've seen this in it's entirety and it was definitely worth it. Jimmy and Vinny/Andrew/Phillips/what is you name are a great team.

Going through the classics and just found out that this video exists, lets do this!

I watched the QL a while ago and I think that this game is true art, its absolutely can be seen like some sort of absurdist abstract statement. Its like saying things through a filter and weird words come out that somehow still make sense from the perspectives from the game but not the player and that makes it into a complete laugh riot.

I'm glad that the community love the game enough to save it. These are the true heroes of our times.

EDIT: "Thats wrong!" "Yes, you are wrong!" this has to be the funniest thing I've seen in a very long time.

Bot Colony - still seeing updates as late as December 2017. Still probably a giant piece of garbage.

Man, a followup video would be great. It qualifies as an Unfinished still, if that tells you anything.
