Im glad Lawrence had the same reaction I did to Avatar quoting just the word "Entertaining" from gameinformer. They just had to have been in a scramble to get sizzle quotes for that trailer.
Lawrence and Bruce drunkenly explaining that Cyberpunk is such a good game is incredibly relatable. I'd like to be able to shut up about how much that game rules, but I can't help myself
Yeah that would have sucked haha. He probably was pretty confident though given BG3 had been winning game of the year at pretty much every other awards show.
Man Lawrence turned grump after a while haha. Very happy to see Alan wake 2 winning a couple of things (I never get tired of watching old gods of Asgard do their thing).. And BG3 is definitely game of the year.
Lawrence might be my favorite personality in gaming. I cannot describe the love I have for his media analysis and dedication to the art. I could listen to this man talk about video games (or the Matrix) for days straight.
Interesting, I also suddenly felt "disconnected from authenticity" as you said, when I suddenly realized that optics, narratives and perception are more important than truth when it comes to how the general public judges anything. Once you see the obvious currents of buzzwords and you see the bandwagon for what it is, it's shocking. Everyone piled up on Cyberpunk 2077 like a hivemind, it was the "right" opinion to have, now the "right" opinion to have is that the game has been redeemed and has become a masterpiece... and yet I'm here replaying the game, after playing it at launch, and I have to keep telling everyone, guys, this is for the most part the same game. They changed the perks up, fixed some bugs, but underneath it's the same exact game you all hated to death 3 years ago. The game didn't change nearly as much as the optics of it did in the public narrative! To me I think that moment was in 2016, I straight up stopped taking anyone seriously on the internet the moment I sniffed even a slight inauthenticity in them, which is nearly everyone. People would rather be "right" in the public eyes than think for themselves. Now whenever I see these bandwagons they're 100% transparently obvious to me. Funny thing is that Baldur's Gate 3 has been the subject of a very similar thing, but it's a positive bandwagon instead of a negative one, people are praising the game without even playing it, and you can spot these NPCs who want to praise the game for social clout a mile away when compared to actual fans who enjoy playing the game themselves.
Great video with fun, interesting commentary on the awards + reasoning behind them. You joked about the "right all the time" but you really do have a good perspective on the industry from your careers and it shows, its a major reason I enjoy your reporting!
It's wild that there are still gamers out there who don't know that FF7 Remake, Rebirth and whatever the last game is gonna be called, are actually sequels (probably post Advent Children... at least for 1 character)
Our big, drunk, lovable asshole! Thing about it is: it’s all about games and his takes on them, which isn’t anything too serious. It’s like when you’re on late with your friends playing Halo or some other game and you’re just ranting about random shit that gets under your skin to anyone who will listen. It doesn’t make you an asshole. It makes you a gamer.
I haven’t heard anything about the lethal company among us collaboration Bruce mentioned but I agree it is a fun idea. Does anyone have information about what it might be?
It’s funny watching different reactions to these showcases. The variety of who cares about what is so different. Like Maximilian Dood was most hyped about SEGA, Monster Hunter, and FF7 rebirth which ironically is like the opposite of this reaction lol
2:20 Lawrence, you said the game runs "stabley" on the Switch. Yes, it doesn't crash, but it runs at below 30fps a LOT of the time. That is not stable. You, as the quintessential gamer should not be making mistakes like this. I am disappoint.
"Guys we don't want to be right all the time but we are"
Never change Bruce I love you
“This is the only award Alan Wake can win”
little did they know lol
ohh yes black chick and sweet baby inc @@343Films
The best way to watch a recap of the awards. This was "entertaining". But really I love your chemistry together. Never go away.
Lawrence raging over Jurassic Park was the best last night. I needed that laugh, and I agree only good movie out of 6!! 🤣
I'm more floored they have made 3 of the new ones.
Im glad Lawrence had the same reaction I did to Avatar quoting just the word "Entertaining" from gameinformer. They just had to have been in a scramble to get sizzle quotes for that trailer.
I cant believe Lawrence asked "is their a Pony Island 1?" Like, i figured hed played it, its the most Lawrence game ever lol
To cut out the herold of darkness performance is pure rage bait for me.
The best part of the show
Happy Inside Games day, boys!
The closing statement is why I keep coming back. Cheers to a great year in gaming 🥂
It's so great to see Lawrence over-stimulated again. The nerd rage lives in us all, but he embodies it so well.

Can you imagine wearing a suit of armor all night long and not going up on stage because you didn't win. At least he got to show it off at the end
Yeah that would have sucked haha. He probably was pretty confident though given BG3 had been winning game of the year at pretty much every other awards show.
I love how during the rant at the end, they’re constantly playing clips of them taking shots to remind us that they were drunk.
27:00 fucking killed me Lawrence LOL
Lawrence's sheer clairvoyance and subsequent anger is so funny to me.
I could've watched Lawrence talk for hours at the end. Such an impassioned speech. 😂
To Denny's! 🍻
Lawdog is a mind reader. I love it.
I loved when he sniffed out the anti vaping ad. 👌
Man Lawrence turned grump after a while haha. Very happy to see Alan wake 2 winning a couple of things (I never get tired of watching old gods of Asgard do their thing).. And BG3 is definitely game of the year.
@@JohnSmith-rr3jt No.
Congratulations to the video editor. Well done.
"she got that tit napkin" 😂
Today is a national holiday, Happy Inside Games Day. Did you remember to leave a Chipotle burrito bowl out for Papa Bruce?
The joy I feel whenever these two drink too much is pure bliss and not alarming at all!
I love that the drunker Laurence gets, the more bitter he gets towards the industry he loves. Too damn funny
Lawrence: Imagine if the Oscars had an award for adapting a book
Me: Doesn't he mean the Best Writing (Adaptive Screenplay) category
No he means imagine if the oscars had best original film adapted into spomething else like a book or game
@@grantsnakecorrect
Lawrence says everything I feel, truly the people's gamer.
cringe
Lawrence might be my favorite personality in gaming. I cannot describe the love I have for his media analysis and dedication to the art. I could listen to this man talk about video games (or the Matrix) for days straight.
This is the best day of the year consistently, the unadulterated journalism is unparalleled from the IG crew
I could never get tired of quintessential gamer Lawrence drunken rants.
17:15 - Lawrence pissed at himself that he's right
thoughts and prayers for Bruce's stream room carpet. It's a good thing Charlotte wasn't here too.
"imagine oscars having category for best movie adapted to a book" :D loved it
It’s nice to see two guys being so right about everything
Finally, commentary I align with… from two drunk guys… what does that say about my opinions? 😂
They say drunk people tell no lies.
We really got inside the games in this one.
Th reason Exodus felt like Mass Effect is because it’s made by all the old ME1 devs and writer
We gotta get more drunk format content. This was gold!!
I hope they had a good time at Denny's.
that good ole drunk content
"I played that game 20 years ago why are we anticipating......"
i got trolled so hard throughout this lmao thank you for this
The editing at the end of this video was hilarious. Great job Bruce.
I don't appreciate the Monster Hunter slander. Next year looks pretty empty based on the VGAs
Empty? You've got the most Monster Hunter inspired game in Dragons Dogma 2 coming out. No other game is needed next year except that.
Tell that to the millions of people that play it rofl@IV-qd8by

Back like we never left
Oh thank you thank you. I was stuck on a plane to Denver and I was not able to watch along. Thank you for uploading this. Much love and hugs
Great video with fun, interesting commentary on the awards + reasoning behind them. You joked about the "right all the time" but you really do have a good perspective on the industry from your careers and it shows, its a major reason I enjoy your reporting!
One of the most entertaining duos in the gaming-sphere.
Lawrence sounds like every pro wrestling smark talking about wrestling when he talks about games
I love this, thanks guys :)
The way that Lawrence says “Ouroboros” pisses me off so much. 13:28
Only Act 1 of BG3 released 3 years ago.
It's wild that there are still gamers out there who don't know that FF7 Remake, Rebirth and whatever the last game is gonna be called, are actually sequels (probably post Advent Children... at least for 1 character)
You guys are my favorite. Thank you for all the good videos this year. ✨⭐️✨
Drunk impassioned unhinged speech Lawrence is best Lawrence 😂😂😂
This monster hunter slander will not stand, you'll be hearing from my lawyer that is also a cat
Omg, I didn't knew you two got together again like this!🎉🎉🎉
Wow, this video really highlights how big of an asshole Lawrence can be sometimes
Our big, drunk, lovable asshole!
Thing about it is: it’s all about games and his takes on them, which isn’t anything too serious. It’s like when you’re on late with your friends playing Halo or some other game and you’re just ranting about random shit that gets under your skin to anyone who will listen.
It doesn’t make you an asshole. It makes you a gamer.
next year you gotta drink every Hoyoverse appearance
There should be a new rule for whenever the flute guy goes hard on an instrument
god bless Lawrence and his drunk ramblings
Lawrence feels like an old man yelling cloud
Awe, y'all cut out the part where Angry Joe was dunked on.
what did they say lol
Ahhh I’ve been looking for this
I love you guys. But don’t you dare troll the 🐐 Matt Mercer.
We’re going to Denny’s!
I haven’t heard anything about the lethal company among us collaboration Bruce mentioned but I agree it is a fun idea. Does anyone have information about what it might be?
It's funny how things come full circle.
Bruce may not care about Warframe, yet he'd fit right in with the community in getting excited by Rebecca's outfits.
ahhhhh dude lets go!
I missed these drunken rants
The inside games x Heilung crossover ive always wanted 😮💨
It’s funny watching different reactions to these showcases. The variety of who cares about what is so different. Like Maximilian Dood was most hyped about SEGA, Monster Hunter, and FF7 rebirth which ironically is like the opposite of this reaction lol
@@ajiqo I don’t much about MH or it’s community, but I have heard it’s extremely popular.
Inside Games Day!!!🙌
“Entertaining”
-Grayfox
17:10 pure comedy
Jet set radiooooooooo!!!

This stuff is top tier
You guys got so tossed. 3 more drinks. xD

We didnt, its on the channel right now
Dude, you went to Dennys? Sick invite.
The Law Dogg laying it out!
17:50... oddly specific date...? it's 4/20 man!
WERE GOING TO DENNYS
2:20 Lawrence, you said the game runs "stabley" on the Switch. Yes, it doesn't crash, but it runs at below 30fps a LOT of the time. That is not stable. You, as the quintessential gamer should not be making mistakes like this. I am disappoint.
Host it next year, bet.
Lawrence doesn't know about The Sega Channel which was basically the sega+ that he described.
decent show and always fun watching your pov! monster hunter gang rise up
