Klepek is easily the most open-minded dude at Giant Bomb. The other guys will almost certainly write something off immediately, whereas he will actually give it a try... Monster Hunter, anyone? EVE Online? All these crazy independent horror games? C'mon!
I can't fathom why some people don't like Klepec. Like, he's great, he's super smart, I think he's funny, but he's funny in a different way then the others, and ofcourse he's the one who goes out on a limb and tries stuff out. He works perfectly with the others. How lame would it be if all the Giant Bombers were exactly the same? Get a grip guys.
The people who dislike Patrick are limited to youtube, Giant Bomb itself went through a similar phase where his brand of humour didn't gel with the rest of the crew and he's generally a more serious person than the others. Thankfully the GB community has grown up, unlike youtube.
Giant Bomb has always covered games that other people may have dismissed. The first member of the Bomb squad to really tackle some of these infamously impenetrable games like EVE and Dwarf Fortress was Dave Snider (who unfortunately no longer works there). I would also argue that the most open minded gamer among them is Vinny, who tackled both of the Souls games, the entire Witcher series (books included), most of the Warhammer 40k games (again, books included), also Morrowind and Daggerfall.
The good thing is now that there are two of them now that are willing to be open-minded and actually do these quick looks. Unfortunately some people are asshats about the other person being Patrick. Dave even though was a core member never really got to do many quick looks to those obscure games. At least Patrick is adamant about getting to these games and is able to rope in someone to do the QLs. Vinny also has someone to QL with who is seemingly interested and open-minded to look at the games.
Good to see you guys doing a mod on the site,standalone or otherwise,you really should do more of them,there´s some amazing stuff out there made by the community.
Just a minor correction guys. It's not a Source Mod. Source mod's are Half-life 2 mod's. This is build on Half-life 1, so a GoldSrc mod in this case. No biggy though!
the first 8 chapters are the single player campaign where you play as Simon. This picks up right after the end of the campaign and why you are looking for simon
So half the reason you hate him is that you don't like the way he dresses and that he's skinny? What you say about others says a lot more about yourself and from what I gather you aren't an attractive person are you? Inside or out?
a multiplayer game where Vinny is another character in the game when it is being quick looked by someone else is always gold. This and Arma are a testament to that.
People seem to forget that last year it was after E3 that Patrick was on personal leave and it was during his 1-2 month absence that there was a huge dropoff in content. This was partly in due to it being summer and also the crew's lack of interest in looking at some of the more indie games such as this.
Yeah so you should stop leaving shitty comments that do no good what so ever. Why the hell would they let idiots be blatantly hateful to someone who, frankly, doesn't deserve it.
I have noticed the others pointing their noses up (except Vinny) at various points in many conversations about games over the years. I remember this because those are the points when I notice I am not agreeing with them and think they are being overly harsh or maybe unfair. Patrick definitely is showing me games that I may not notice otherwise so good job pat.
... "even if he does" referring to the person you replied to having to go back and watch the older videos to see why people dislike Patrick which is pointless, because Patrick offered to quick look many games and seemed to be on every quick look. People still complain about him being on "too many" quick looks when the reality is that quick looks of games like this wouldn't happen if he didn't bring it up.
I definitely agree with you there. Heck, listen to the Bombcast. While the other guys can be very quick to judge games based on premise alone (including Patrick), Vinny is the only one who actually judges stuff until he actually plays it himself.
yes if patrick were to leave giant bomb today, he'd have enormous success starting up his own channel and becoming a youtube celebrity. considering patrick isn't 'terribly unfunny' like pewdiepie, he'd have at least double the subscribers based on his grand personality alone.
I don't think that really speaks to his willingness to try new things. More to the rest of the bombcrew's unwillingness to try jrpgs, mmorpgs and horror games.
No they ban and delete anything negatively written about Patrick because all the comments become only about Patrick such as what has happened here and not the actual game. They only started to do that because the criticism of Patrick was rarely ever constructive and it became so out of hand.
A "clip" is generally something used in say...an SKS or Mosin. It holds rounds for you to load into a fixed magazine. There is no handgun that uses a "clip." Bothers me when people mix them up.
Poop Ghost! I can't believe you didn't show the ridiculous jump scare at the beginning of the single player campaign! lol, it's a very silly mod, er, game.

Patrick and Vinny together are awesome. Vinny is the life of the bombcast in my opinion.

Best quicklook in a good while!
I'm glad mods exist on GB so I don't have to read hateful crap like this.
Cry of Fear: buddy cop endurance run featuring Vinny and Patty Klepeck.
Effing funniest Quick look ever!!! I literally can't breathe.
This is one of the funniest QL in a while! Reminds me of the Deadly premonition ER :D
"Happy Halloween, dickweed" is going to stay in my mind forever. :D
a multiplayer game where Vinny is another character in the game when it is being quick looked by someone else is always gold. This and Arma are a testament to that.
I logged onto this a couple of weeks ago and couldn't find anyone to play with either.

Little Nemo's Hallucination in Nightmare Land. That's the vibe those flying beds give me.
They NEED to do more quicklooks like this!
yeah him and Vinny are really what get interesting games into the studio

@ SavageMk2
Should have specified no *modern* handgun. Thought that was obvious given the setting of this game...
Lay off the goofing? Vinny was the goofiest of all :D
15:35 is an absolutely golden moment.
I have only been watching Giant Bomb for a month or so now... Can anyone explain the hatred for Patrick? I don't really see what the issue is...
Yeah so you should stop leaving shitty comments that do no good what so ever. Why the hell would they let idiots be blatantly hateful to someone who, frankly, doesn't deserve it.
I'm calling for a full let's play on this game
You guys should definitely play through the single player campaign to know what's going on. It's a really good game with a lot of nice jump scares.
This is the best quick look I've seen in a long time, I don't care what the Patrick-haters say.
Yeeeeeeeees, Vinny and Patrick. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees.
so why would Patrick play the co-op before the single player?
Oh btw, this is a goldsource mod, not a source engine mod.
This is a Half Life 1 mod.
Even if he does, the hatred for Patrick has been pretty irrational since the beginning.
"Oh that's not you, THAT'S NOT PATRICK"
i fucking died
Can someone explain to me why people don't like Patrick?
I have noticed the others pointing their noses up (except Vinny) at various points in many conversations about games over the years. I remember this because those are the points when I notice I am not agreeing with them and think they are being overly harsh or maybe unfair.

That scream at 30:20 would be absolutely horrifying playing solo with headphones.
Because it just got released on Steam...
A fourth of the video in and I'd already laughed so hard my nose started bleeding.
Patrick really called himself "poop ghost"....
A bit late, don't you think Giant Bomb ?
You're so convincing. My god I see the error of my ways. Tell me more.
man, those are the most cliche survival horror monsters ever.

so long ago.. Jesus..
Curvp Brad Shoemaker wasn’t even born when this video came out.
34:25 insert benny hill music. Vinny and the axe man haha
Why do they all have hammers? Is this like a carpenters union?
Why Quick-look this game now? It has been out for ages.
I definitely agree with you there.
Heck, listen to the Bombcast. While the other guys can be very quick to judge games based on premise alone (including Patrick), Vinny is the only one who actually judges stuff until he actually plays it himself.
That's actually correct use of the word, though! For once.
Makes me want a L4D type game but with supernatural horror stuff instead of zombies.
I love Giant Bomb!
I just finished Afraid of Monsters and was about to start this one! Half-Life will never die!
"There's a gun inside that window, if you want it."
Mauser C96? Steyr 1911? :P
That was awesome.
sigh...great quick look. Had me laughing out loud throughout.
Is this like a carpenters union?
yes if patrick were to leave giant bomb today, he'd have enormous success starting up his own channel and becoming a youtube celebrity. considering patrick isn't 'terribly unfunny' like pewdiepie, he'd have at least double the subscribers based on his grand personality alone.
A G43 and a Ruger P345? Good lord...
I don't think that really speaks to his willingness to try new things. More to the rest of the bombcrew's unwillingness to try jrpgs, mmorpgs and horror games.
He didn't say: "Simon says HELP!" So you guys shouldn't have helped him, haha.
GoldSRC engine tearing it up in 2013.
they did that comic sans on purpose didn't they.
LMAO @30:29 you got served by break dancers
No they ban and delete anything negatively written about Patrick because all the comments become only about Patrick such as what has happened here and not the actual game. They only started to do that because the criticism of Patrick was rarely ever constructive and it became so out of hand.
play more of this! very funny and interesting :D
Speaking of technical issues...
Flying beds are cannon.
Attack of the titans all up in here.
30.29 Is majestic.
Adam Tensta reference, devs maybe don't like him?
Why would you give a man CPR for a chainsaw to the face?
A "clip" is generally something used in say...an SKS or Mosin. It holds rounds for you to load into a fixed magazine. There is no handgun that uses a "clip." Bothers me when people mix them up.
This should be Deadly Premonition 2.
maybe you should pay them..
"This is a horror game... ostensibly."
Goddammit, Patrick.
Ah, good old Sweden.
It's a good thing you're here to tell us these profound things that are incredible and interesting to read.
u have a problem with the wording or the sentiment?
Help.
lol VINNY is legendary!!!
I was fucking giggling like a schoolgirl the entire time, goddam. 32:40 was the best bit.
Fan to play as a swedem to read the signs :P
I almost pissed myself too funny.
I'll admit 29:35 scared me
anyone else notice the mercedes-benz fire truck?
For the price of free its pretty sick
BECAUSE VIDEO GAMMS!
u mad about vidya gaymes journalism
glad u got perspective
All this hatred towards Patrick is pathetic.
14:49 , BEDSHOT!!! :D
Poop Ghost! I can't believe you didn't show the ridiculous jump scare at the beginning of the single player campaign! lol, it's a very silly mod, er, game.
It Crash so hard.. it killed Vinny
14: 39 Oh no! Twin Beds!
Gonna guess this is a swedish production, what with all the swedish police stuff
FearCry 3: Bed Dragon
DAT COMIC SANS
