CaptainSauce LETS GET READY TO SAUCEEEEEEEEEE (subscriber here)

Didn’t expect you to be here.

@@enonibobble Didn't expect you reply to a 2-year old comment

It was so good, you couldn't even quote it correctly :P

I’m torn between this and “My headphones are burgers.”

I was expecting comments making jabs at Polygon. LGR beat us all to the punch. _Brilliant._

I need that Momiji avatar if you don't mind Citizen, it would come in handy for my duties.

Awoo~

Thanks!

Wow, i didn't even noticed that!

he moved the outer cardboard shell out of the frame and moved the internal cardboard holder into frame, there were no tricks

Actually, there were a few seconds between each shot, I used a crossfade to make it look seamless :)

Ah, well keep up the good work. You'll be a Pool shark in no time :)

Yep, definitely “super menacing”! He hit that sign off-screen!

Nico Vercetti and the "real feal action" * leny face here *

And playing doom with a pool cue

oh, yeah, baby!

And the best part: LGR's intense head dance to that cheesy jazz music at 8:44

I'd actually love to have this sound track, I collect mid 90's game music. It's almost like they bid and bought music by the pound those days.

I sent mine in back then! Got all sorts of cool things in the mail after that, like catalogs and magazines. Well, my parents probably weren't too fond of it, but I loved it.

Koichi Sugiyama sent one in once, which is how he got hired to compose the soundtracks to the Dragon Quest games.

Unrelated, but if you did some more Tech Tails that would rock, they are always so great.. You do them so well, its like a mini Documentary that would have never gotten made otherwise.

I did a few times, never really got anything for it though. Maybe like, LGR said some catalogs which was fun to look at.

WHAT? Please explain!

Thanks, I appreciate it :)

I came here to make a Polygon joke but he beat me

10/10 would guffaw again

Dammit, took my joke, ha ha!

+BygPhattyPlus you too? Dammit I thought I would be faster

Accurately aimed with the pool stick on a mouse. .

And Polygon can't even hit back.

Waste of money I guess it's unique but software is where it's at now.

It was a magical time. :) Computer tech was creative and always trying new things. Sure, not a lot of them worked out. But at least they tried! Haha

You remember that the 90s also had a fascination for see-through things? From calculators to Game Boys, etc. lol

It's not that nobody has ideas like this any more, but rather most companies are far more reluctant to invest any effort in such a weird concept that has little chance of success. That's what kickstarter is for now! Fund haphazard innovation through the masses!

One of the times I actually miss the 90's.

Same

Haha same.

It really gets around those corners

SAMEEEEEEEEEEE

Didn't we all

if someone told me the 90s were a fever dream i had after consuming too much corporate dystopia sci-fi, i would be inclined to believe theme

Between that and when he nearly puts a hole in his monitor with the pool cue, I died laughing

I think he'd have to be playing doom with a pool cue while drunk, blindfolded and walking a tightrope to be a Polygon journalist

Be N S O N GILLIAN SEED!

+Kohowch Kohowch CUNNINGHAM!

Nah, they probably just have no skills because they just report on game-related drama, write shitty articles and talk about the politics in the philippines while stuffing their face with puff-pastry canapés instead of actually playing games.

I wonder if the reviewer tried to outsource the gameplay and it backfired on him.

gdog662 I don't think so, even if that's the case doom is a genuinely fun game that even a outsourced (whatever) can enjoy.

that's the thing I hate nowadays how come useless things like this were always being made left and right back in the day but now it seems like nowadays companies try to milk out money from its fans first and still come out with something not as good (I'm looking at you mighty nine) (also I'm not talking about out of frustration from axtually funding the game, nut seeing everyone else's frustration in the KZfaq comments was pretty bad. lol)

ZING

@@FirebertDancer What I don't understand is why are people so dumb and gullible that they get convinced to fund these scams on kickstarter.

Harsh! (Looks better than almost everything that I've seen on kickstarter.)

Its actually pretty fun to use if setup right and used on a bigger surface.

THEY PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE

what is the name of that video?

LGR - Oddware - Philips Virtual Pinball Controller

ok thank you

yeah no

It works well with the controller. Quit being edgy.

Jody Barker ...Ehhhhhhhhhh...

Sure, m8.

"Sunshine daisies butter mellow, sink this stinkin' pool ball yellow!" :P

Avada Kedavra!

Thank you!

starstruck!!! Lazy Game Reviews

Part of me wishes CompUSA or a chain like them were still around, but another part realizes how unsustainable the business model would be in today's society. :(

kinda off topic but, wasnt there a guy who beat DS with a guitar from guitar hero?

Yes, and he also did it with a set of Rock Band drums too I think.

And a Joel from vinesauce attempted to play Half-Life 2 with a Guitar Hero guitar controller

I was thinking the same thing, Clint was indeed literally better the game with this weird thing than the guy at polygon. Did we ever find out who was playing it that day?

***** Yeah apparently the guy's name is Arthur Gies. He made a single response to ReviewTechUSA in an attempt to defend his honor and then immediately blocked him thereafter.

***** I got reminded of a gameplay video from Gametrailers of Metal Gear Rising. The player was just standing there, activated Blade Mode and button mashed in the vain hope it would accomplish something.

XD I said that before I saw you mention Polygon.

This has been your pro life tip from LGR. _Heh. Tip._

It's an S27D590

Thank you, has a lovely thin bezel.

***** Well I've seen it occasionally in more modern shows too, for example I noticed it a couple times in the older family guy episodes. so I don't know if that's different in some way or just a deliberate decision.

That's the joke.

Uhh I guess.

Now kiss.

Quite often it's from viewers these days. But the rest of the time it's from thrift stores or Ebay.

+Lazy Game Reviews you're still better at doom than polygon, even when you use a pool cue.

Tom did a movie early in his career called "The Color of Money." In it, he played a pool hustler that gets taken under the wing of an old pro for drama and hi-jinks. Tom's character's response to being asked what was in his cue case was "doom."

The versatility! Also, I think the story is that Carmack actually took the name Doom from that scene. The idea was that it would be rad if whenever someone in an airport or wherever asked him what he was up to on his laptop, he'd be able to smirk and say "DOOM".

Considering I made that exact joke in the video, I agree ;)

ah, thanks.
