Gotta go fast.

Preshow was good. Alex going crazy as Vinny and Abby do “anime” voices

Messed up for anyone? Plays for like 5 mins and then stops.

Yeah, something's busted.

Yeah kind of not working

is it still busted? not seeing an issue on our end.

@vinny: Yeah something is still wrong. Played for 2 minutes and stops like it hit the end. I skipped ahead, played for abother 2 minutes roughtly and it stopped again. Seems like a weird issue.

Yeah seems like it plays for a few minutes and then stops and tries to go to a new video. I tried to skip around and it still plays for a bit and then stops. Playing it in Chrome I'll try a diff browser; see if that matters.

Nope, no go in Firefox either. Above is correct, it's about 2 minutes and then it stops playing.

@bathala: The preshow had me dying laughing

ok, thanks for letting us know. I had Will (engineer) take a look but he couldn't find anything specific causing it but said it might be something corrupted from the stream archive (that is what is currently watchable). The local recorded version is being uploaded now but will be a little bit before it's processed.

Cool to know I wasn't the only one having problems; I'll check out the recorded version later. Thanks, Vinny!

@vinny: Thanks for keeping us updated vinny - i had skipped in to where i left off on the live stream and it was fine playing for about 10 minutes and then just quits out. I'll just wait a bit for the local version.

Beast killing it lately with the premium stuff

Beast’y Boi’z throwin down another solid show! Thanks guys! <>

Video doesn't work for me either

@handlas: Same

I thought I was crazy for a minute, thanks for all the hard work folks.

ALL HAIL THE BLUE ORB!

So much looping i wanna die

@handlas: Same thing happening to me. Plays for a minute or two and stops.

It keeps stopping every 5 or so minutes for me and then boots up Brad's pre-E3 show thing. I'm using Firefox and the only extension I've got active is 'HTTPS Everywhere'.

Seems to be working for me now. Maybe they fixed it...not sure but thanks!

CTR is really tough but I've been having a total blast with it. If you can wrap your brain around the boost mechanics it can be very rewarding.

Highlight of this one is Shenmue 2 ER confirmation.

What a pleasant stream.

I also adored racing transformed and was so happy to see it in the video

Best way to start my weekend!

Diddy Kong Racing says hello!

Dan will be bummed he missed carting day

Made me not want to buy CRT on switch. So great work guys :D

Jumping is an essential skill in all aspects of CTR. Jump at the top of ramps, jump to start powerslides, jump to cut your turns tighter, jump to get TNT boxes off your head, jump to cut corners over gaps!

I'm with Vinny. All Stars Transformed just might be my favorite kart racer. That After Burner mix is so fucking good.

the drifting in CTR is so good though. Probably my favorite kart racer.

They nailed exactly why CTR is the best kart racer within the first 15 minutes. The drifting and jumping (crucial to winning) requires skill and timing + there is no rubberbanding. If you suck, you suck.

CTR is the Dark Souls of kart racers. Learn to drift or you won't even finish the Adventure mode.

Shenmue 2 was mentioned, that means they legally have to play it now!

I have very fond memories of exactly two racing games: Crash Team Racing, and Chocobo Racing. All I ever did in those games with friends was the battle modes though.

Isn't it baby talk? I've not seen this creepy meme way of speaking written in a strong accent, but more like how a 4 year old speaks (though I assume there's a big anime connection since there's lots of "chans" and Asian style emoticons). It's possible I'm wrong here, but that's how its seemed to me.

wut

That CBS blanket Abby is rockin looks hella comfy

I'm really glad Dan wasn't there for this video, he's far too competitive and kind of ruins things like this.

All-Stars Racing Transformed is the BOMB! I'm with Vinny. Gotta love all the weird ass characters they have too. (Shogun dude, Football Manager, Company of Heroes dude, DANICA PATRICK! etc. etc.)

Nah, I kinda did a double take when she said it then noticed how Vinny tried to move on quickly. It's cringy because they're talking about doing anime voices and Abby does that for comedic effect. I definitely don't think she meant anything by it but... woof.

Hopefully someday Abby will stop doing that thing where she just screams into the mic

Bonk is cool. Bonk is beautiful. More people should play Bonk.
