Why are you posting a completely normal screen grab of the Wikipedia page? I don't get it.

...I wish Steal My Sunshine was more frequent. I need my fix.

I think more games should have that kind of second mode that Spring Cleaner has.
---

Man, I want to see GBE play Shenmue 2. I really want to see what the game is like compared to the first one.

Mario Sunshine looks incredibly frustrating to play

Mario Sunshine looks incredibly f.u......n. to play

---

I actually like Mario Sunshine, but it is one of the worst Mario game
---

i can't think of a mainline mario game that's worse

nsmb2 maybe? it's close.
---

I think I'd rather play Sunshine than NSMB1/2 and honestly probably 3D Land.

Though I haven't played Sunshine in 15 years.
---

Off the top of my head

Galaxy 2
World
(Maker)
Galaxy
Bros. 3
64
3D World
Bros. 2
3D Land
(NSLuigi U)
NSMB U
NSMB Wii
SMB
SMB2j
Land 2
NSMB
NSMB2
Land
Sunshine
Run
---

Oh, I'd take Sunshine over both GB games as well. And Run (does this count as mainline now???)
---

i cannot imagine taking sunshine over the gameboy games, they're incredible
---

I would take Sunshine over everything but the Galaxy games
---

I would not count Run if we're not counting Maker.

Of course, Nintendo have muddied the waters with these two games, it used to be that Super Mario meant mainline. Except for original Kart I guess.

Anyway, Sunshine is better than Land and NSMB2, but that's it. Maybe Lost Levels.

Ah screw it:

Galaxy 2
Galaxy
World
3D World
64
Bros. 3
3D Land
NSMBU
NSMBWii
Bros.
Land 2
Bros. 2
NSMB
Lost Levels
Sunshine
Land
NSMB2
---

No reason for Run not to count. It's got the full Mario plot/levels/worlds as any other mainline game.

I can see not counting Maker in the same way you wouldn't count Paint
---

I'm actually kinda concerned. How can everyone in the east coast office be so bad at Mario?

it's videos like that make me feel better about myself as a videogamesman
---

If you don't have a strong reference point for N64 style camera controls it can be tough

I am playing B-K now, tore through it at the time, but now in 2017 getting used to the camera is TOUGH
---

They're playing a Mario game with a nonconforming camera and untraditional controls in 10-15 minute chunks 1 time a week.
---

While we are still on this subject, Sunshine has a fucking terrible camera

Blue Bombin' is back

I'm glad people are already excited for our completely normal and regular Kingdom Hearts playthrough.

oh nope

it's our good friend the gentle giant
---

A tweet from Ben implied it's going to be GB West. So I guess Brad & Ben?
---

It CAN'T be another GBeast series, can it?
---

It's Brad and Ben.

I mean he's not incorrect. It's a good game, but it's one of the worst core Mario titles.

My issue with including Run is that it's not a platformer really.

I'm very excited for this KH thing.
---

I think it is. It's just an unconventional platforming mechanic, like Sunshine!
---

i love that new ben & abby podcast

i love that new ben & abby podcast

Ooh I need to listen that.
---

there were flashes of brilliance, but there were too many lulls and awkward bits that didn't go anywhere. giant bomb to me is only really hilarious when the crew starts the riffing from just natural conversations or when they're directly commenting on the ridiculousness of a game they're playing. this feels like "comedy podcast" where they just "do bits", and neither ben nor abby have that snappiness to their brand of humor to make it work. not now at least. awkward improv is very hit-and-miss, and i feel it's mostly a miss here.

i'm sure this'll get better though!

did Dan get a haircut?

Dan doesn't believe in pull ups

wtf does it meaaaaaaan
---

it's something with x-com
---

oh, according to the front page, something to do with x-com enemy unknown. blehhh. probably the new mondays series
---

the bombers struggling through the long war would be fun
---

Austin seems pretty hyped based on what Vinny pitched to him last year so I'm excited

GBEast continues being the best coast

Exquisite corpse, also known as exquisite cadaver (from the original French term cadavre exquis) or rotating corpse, is a method by which a collection of words or images is collectively assembled. Each collaborator adds to a composition in sequence, either by following a rule (e.g. "The adjective noun adverb verb the adjective noun", as in "The green duck sweetly sang the dreadful dirge") or by being allowed to see only the end of what the previous person contributed.

Maybe they'll be playing turns in isolation and the next person will have to just pick up not knowing what happened the turn prior?
---

why is everything GBE does behind the paywall?

West coast has the two Brad and Ben shows, plus Ranking of Fighters and The Old Games Show (if those ever decide to come back), all free
---

Vinny and Dan are that good
