The content from the Happy Hour is well worth  the money on it's own.

I assume the video ending and the sound cutting out right when Vinny asked about the "super secret" stuff was on purpose.

I really like this. A relaxed, chill, real talk vice the garish manic contrived vibe on regular happy hours. Thanks for posting this, guys.
 
Edit: also, up to now I've been skipping Quick Look EX's because I thought they were just a straight shill, but it sounds like they have some critical merit and I will be checking them in the back catalogue.

Thanks for the video. Love the puffy hair, Ryan. Go just a little further and you'll have the crazy Christopher Walken thing going.

Loved the show! But on my headset I only had sound in one ear, is my brain broken or did anyone else have that sound issue? :|

NOOO don't get rid of reviews! Do more reviews! 
 
Do reviews of the stuff you guys like, weird or obscure or slightly older stuff, too! Maybe a segment where, say, Dave does a personal review of something he likes a lot.

Happened here too. Must've been something to do with the default laptop mic they were using.

Alright lads follow these steps to fix the sound issue.
 
1. Download the video to you computer. (any version would do)
 
2. Open file with VLC media player. (search google if you dont have it)
 
3. Select the "Audio" option from the drop down list.
 
4. Go to "Audio Channels" and select the "left" or "mono" option depending on your operating system.
 
5. Enjoy.
 
The reason the audio seems off is because it was most likley recorded in mono (sound comes from one side). What this fix essentially does is that it allows the audio to be played back in "stereo" (sound comes from both sides).

Great stuff. Wish I had watched it live. 
 
If Game Room really is dead, then maybe replace it with some sort of Retro Look. Using the QL format, show us some of the best retro games available on any and all platforms. And maybe include retro-style games like VVVVVV and etc. as well, rather than just going by the age of the games. To someone like me, who played a bit of NES, but really got into gaming with PC and PSX in the 90s, all those old games in the Game Room have been really interesting to see. Or maybe there is no need to limit it to retro gaming and just increase the amount of QL Throwbacks - I wouldn't mind seeing some QLs about the great games of the past that I might've missed. 
 
Just my thoughts on the matter.

You won't believe me, but completely not on purpose. We had a good laugh about it.

The end of this video was a giant tease. Between the potential of hearing Dave's awesome carjacking story and this "super secret" site stuff, I cannot wait to hear/see what whiskey rolls out this year.

I like this I don't think it should replace the podcast or the happy hour, but I would just like to see more like this. Maybe like a Whiskey podcast or something similar where they just discuss the recent Whiskey happenings and just shoot the shit.
