These go up so soon now and it's amazing. Nice to see some Warframe comment on GB.

Wait, is Mike just joining GBeast at this point? Not that I'm complaining, he makes great conversation, I'm just worried that Bakalar's feelings will be hurt.

I love seeing the east crew react to Mike playing Warframe. I also feel that I need to get deeper into Warframe.

Dungeon of the Endless is SO good. So happy to see Vinny and crew enjoying such a hidden(lost?) gem.

I have only seen Mike couple times on features here, but I really like him.

I didn't know Jeff Bakalar had a tattoo

...

what meme are they talking about in regards to dan and ex machina?

@isomac: If u want more Mike content, he does a series with Mary Kish on Gamespot's youtube called Resident Kinevel where they play thru all the Resi games

"well, lets play the much better PC-only example of the genre of a recent tire fire consoled release"

Mary: "I play it for the puzzles, Mike!"

Wow two of some of my favorite games of all time. What a huge surprise. Dungeon of the Endless was my game of the year the year it came out. It's extremely hard and unforgiving though even when you understand all the systems involved.

@vinny

Endless Space is perhaps one of the best 4xis game out there. Amplitude studios knows how to make one hell of a game but they have been criminally overlooked even though their games are exceptional.

Mike Mahardy showing off Warframe made me want to play warframe. It seems way more nuts now than when I played it originally

Anyone else unable to get this to work on chromecast?

@i_hate_fun: I've been having issues with Chromecast a lot lately. Giantbomb and Twitch have been really bad.

web player works ok but there are no links to download the video file...

...

God, just hire Mike already.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth but while it's been nice to see East videos going up so quick it stinks that the download consistently isn't ready for at least another 6+ hours.

Neat, thank you for letting me know about it. I'll check it out.

Wooooo, I love seeing Warframe get some love with the GB crew!

...

...

Oh man, Vinny describing his understanding of Warframe as a child describing his drawing is a classic. Best of Giantbomb right there.

I had a similar problem with Altered Beast today but this video won't go past the 1:31:59 mark for me. There might be something wrong with your uploading process.

Edit: Works now.

Holy fuck, watching Mike play Warframe gave me a headache... jesus christ of nazareth. It's a blur of colors, sounds and nonsense that I just cant parse. Fuck I'm getting old.

Damn Alex fucking nailed that lineage

...

Video freezes for me before the end at about 1:32:00

oh man i should play Endless Dungeon again. that little bit took me back.

...

Awesome to see some Warframe love on GBeast. It’s a game I come back to every year and sink another 50 hours into. It’s gone through so many changes and improvements since it first released.

The big problem with the game is that there are just too many systems with poor explanation for noobs. I love all the crazy stuff they’ve bolted on over the years but you really need a friend who can walk you through stuff in the beginning.

Can’t believe Mike didn’t blow their minds a little further by showing them some space combat or open-world fishing/mining/hoverboarding. Maybe he was concerned Vinny’s head would explode.

@mb2814: It's odd because their videos were working fine after the website redesign, but now it seems to be really finicky again. :(

Our very own Warframe correspondent.

(Also a reminder that Danny made a Warframe doc for Noclip.)

Warframe is real good! And of note if you can't follow what Mike is doing...he's not even maximizing for speed. So just know it goes about 3x as fast at the high end

Mike was hilarious. What a wholesome dude

Same

Warframe is 100x better if you buy a couple of the premium color palettes and actually color your weapons like Nerf guns.

Video went up 7+ hours ago and I still can't download it :(

They "go up" faster but it's useless when the video player once again has major issues and like you said the download links show up hours later. They had recently fixed the player issues and now it's back to consistently having issues until it's actually "up".

Can't get the video to play past ~1:31:00 no matter the video player settings.

I am so glad Mike was able to show them Warframe. Just the tip of the iceberg too.

Really love vinny's reaction to everything in the game.

Content and mission wise Mike has only shown on the playdate what was released back in 2015. So there is a lot more to show

@vinny@alex

Would have like to seen Alex's reaction and opinion to the recent Night Wave plot, there is a character called Nora Night which is basically a character was inspired by D.J. (Lynne Thigpen) from the Warriors. The story revolves around catching a fugitive called "The Wolf" (That's right there's bit of Carmen Sandiego in Warframe)

Also, If anyone on the PC is looking to get into the game check out the Giant Bomb PC Clan. https://www.giantbomb.com/warframe/3030-38788/forums/pc-giant-bomb-alliance-2019-3-07-operation-buried--1760576/

The clan was started back in 2014 and still quite active!

I feel like I wished this into existence!

On the subject of stuff the Warframe devs did that the community reacted badly to, when I first started playing the game they tried adding a stamina system to movement and it was awful. It turned the game into Walkframe. They hotfixed it out pretty damn fast.

Also the most bizarre thing about Warframe is that it's basically a sequel to Dark Sector.

@beefavenger: same. for me

More Mike is always a good thing.

I wish there was a version of Warframe that I could pay for, and not deal with the whole "wait to build stuff" thing. It's a really fun game, but the loop just doesn't do it for me.

Hey, it's the guy from Resident Kinevil

Hey sorry if this isn't downloadable, we'll look into it.
