Shouldn't the title be "Greatest Fucking Thing You'll Ever See... Oh and a Transformers game". Sure it's long, but it's faaaar more accurate.

What Secksimonkey said...

One of the best TGS episodes to date!

Am now playing Transformers: War for Cybertron and I am really liking it. The online co-op mode is similar to Lost Planet 2 where you host your own session and wait until someone joins your team. Great for difficult missions.

To the hosts: next time, could you please have a live gaming session for Transformers since it has multiplayer and online modes?

Can I just say there's nothing hotter than a girl ranting about comic books, if ever there was proof of a god Jessica Chobot is it. This episode was so much fun but one thing was missing... WHERE THE EFF IS GWEEDZZ!!!?!?!?!

Just wanted to say that this was the most painful edits ever.... mostly because i DIDN'T WANT TO CUT ANYTHING! Over 30 minutes got dropped and this was still the longest episode we've ever submitted to Rev3. I kept some of the items i had to cut and threw them onto the end. I believe I kept all the magic in there though!

...and yeah, we totally talked about Transformers at one point.... pretty sure.

Now will Ryan Vance actually watch this one?

I already said this on thestream.tv forums, but did it seem like Jess was getting really annoyed by Blair?

Brian you should post the whole thing as an episode on The streams website, or do what you did for Jims Alan Wake gameplay.

TGS's episodes have been so off since they've had all these guests, not off like bad, but like not doing regular shit. I want the chance to win shit! No Gweedz no pacmobelia, but it's worth it to see Jessica Chobot choke herself.

Missed the live show due to being on vacation in the middle of nowhere with a sweet 1x data connection. Just watched the edit and it was so funny that I was depressed that I missed the live version. Blair bursting out about the ammo was nuts. That guy needs to be a special guest by himself sometime.

Also Gweedz needs to stop trying to get paid and come back the game show. The show isn't the same without his mad expertise on games.

Hopefully you guys can keep to the week schedule even though there aren't as many games out. One game to talk about a week is still awesome considering there is so much other stuff to talk about.

In conclusion, The Game Show rocks!

yeah this is one of the greatest episodes of TGS yet. It had alcohol, StarScream Jesus and one of the best songs from my childhood.

I had already bought Transformers: War for Cybertron before this episode but it was a good primer for people who haven't. Though unlike Nikole and the rest I never had an ammo issue and i played through the campaign on Hard and never ran out. Maybe I'm just a better shot than everyone else in campaigns.

Well it maybe my internet connection but i sorta have a love/hate relationship with the online. Sometimes your right next to the guy nailed him with all your clip and hes still standing. Granted it could by my connection considering where i am at the moment.

Either way great episode hope to see more guests drop by at a more frequent pace. Chobot is slowly becoming my favorite female guest because shes just so funny sometimes. Granted she is slowly taking over my viewing habits...shes on my X-box, AOTS, AND TGS.....is she reverse stalking me?? (reverse stalking being where she is everywhere I look to make ME look like the stalker :P )

I decided not to watch the episode but did Gweedz really quit the show for good? I heard he landed himself a new gig which made him unable to make it to the show for the past three episodes. He has been with TGS since the show first started two years ago and was part of the "original" three. He also was responsible for his trivia segment Pac-Mobilia, where he gives out hints and the person who guessed correctly wins a token to be eligible for the X-Box 360 grand prize.

Gweedz' departure means the crew is down to two: Jim and Nikole. That would make room for two guests.
