I feel like Game Informer is way underrated. Giant Bomb seems to have a bigger following, and I love those guys - don't get me wrong, but Game Informer is just as awesome (and less cynical). I've been a fan of Game Informer since 2004.
Felt nostalgic after hearing about reiner moving onto his next adventure and had to look up the good old days. These days of GI were my favorite media to consume back in the day. Miss seeing these guys all together.
God going back and rewatching all the old game informer content is incredible. Watched as a kid and it was the best content, super surprised to see the views are way lower than deserved. Well done to this generation of Game informer, y'all were/are treasures
This was a video for the ages! Jeffypoo is my hero. Tim was a treat, as always. Ben brought the laughs, as expected. And Dan, well, I'm happy you made it through bud. Hanson - GREAT work!
This is one of my favourite things on youtube! I've probably watched it 8 or 9 times now, no dull moments through the entire video so I'm constantly smiling while it's on. Fantastic effort put into this whole thing, you guys rock! :D
I've watched this so many times since you guys did it. I'm glad I happened to check Reddit that day, just left you guys on chatting aimlessly while I slept!
I wish I knew you guys were doing this so I could have watched, however I did get to watch like 80% of the multiple record breaking marathon and that was awesome.
I'm surprised these videos that focus more on the personalities of the staff (Replay, Spoiled, etc.) don't garner that many views on TH-cam. They're so well done, some of my favorite.
Really glad I found this. I loved watching this live, it was just so relaxing to listen to you guys and to know I could happily sleep while you were forced to play a game...
I'm reading Dan's book Anxiety as an Ally. I'm at the part where he's talking about the year 2009, that's two years away from this event. From now on I think I'll look at Dan differently after reading his struggles.
Always told myself to watch this since its been out and barely getting to it. Nice job Ben Hanson on this awesome video, and were you up the whole time with them? Recording? I can't remember too much from the stream
Great video, would have only been better if there had been like a timer in the corner to show how long they've been playing whenever the guys were shown.
My 4th time watching this. I have tons of nostalgia for it because I was actually a part of the chat during the livestream, and it was so much fun. I must've been 15 or 16 at the time, and it's what got me into the GameInformer online community. Really sucks that Dan is gone now though. He was kind of an annoying doofus sometimes, but every group needs that person. He was also a lot wittier than what people gave him credit for. Just feels like Replay isn't really going to be the same now. Tim and Jeff are both super funny too, at least. If Tim leaves, they might as well end Replay.
GI, I would like to formerly nominate myself as a witness the next time you go to break a record. I'll go as long as I'm needed and will even gladly sit through the hours where you're completely silent and hate each other. I also hereby swear to do everything in my power to not touch Dan's America pants.
this may be a stretch but with four guys couldn't you technically do a marathon of Borderlands 2 for like 30+ hours and aside from the physical strain it wouldn't be to boring right?
Penn State baby of course we had the record before these guys broke, we dance for 46 hours straight (THON) and game it up, I played a ton of smash in my time there!! We Are!
Long time GI member, I have actually never seen this, I have watched about 70% of all the replays and all the supers including the Overblood and the ridiculous Overblood 2. Dan at first i loved you man, but ever since you went to giantbomb i could not follow...and if anyone questions my love of Jeff Gerstman you dont know anything, i used to watch him back in 02/03 go to E3 back in the GameSpot golden days and sing all his songs from Midnight Brown. But him and everyone else have become so smug and ultra sarcastic and PC elite i just couldn't listen to the BombCast anymore. Dan come back to GI dont fall victim to KNOWITALLISM..
good for them. but honestly I've done the same thing longer except with my first dark souls play through and honestly whenv morrowind came out I probly stayed up for 3 solid days stopping only to text and take a shower. with them sleeping rule I feel like a week should be the record maybe I'm just a freak that doesn't need sleep
From my favorite era of GI. It doesn't get any better than this. RIP Game Informer!
Good times, Dan/Tim/Jeff era replay was the best. 👍
Ben Hanson, you outdid yourself with this video. Those musical interludes are fantastic. Great shots and deft editing.
Young Jeff Cork is an unsettling concept.
I thought he was born a grey-ish man in his 40s with a dry sense of humour.

We love you!
42:29 is Ben Reeves trying to say “free-for-all” lol
Came straight from the most recent podcast. Thank you.
@@hugh0303 Which episode was that?
Jeff Cork is a national treasure. We must protect him.
I honest to god thought that this was about the Game Informer crew getting smashed on Guinness.
Serendra Hardu oh my god me too!
Sincerely one of my favorite things to come back to. Great feelings from a great time with a great group of people.

I’ve been staying tuned for 6 years.
Thank you for your patience.
Oh we're staying tuned alright.
What makes GI so great is the humor, and the ability to relate to this bunch of extraordinary gentlemen
Thanks for watching it. I slept for a couple of hours on the floor, it was fun.
This was a video for the ages! Jeffypoo is my hero. Tim was a treat, as always. Ben brought the laughs, as expected. And Dan, well, I'm happy you made it through bud. Hanson - GREAT work!

of all the videos i dont want to see go, i thiunk this one tops the list, RIP Gameinformer
I still wish there was an archive of the entire live stream!
GI took a nosedive when Tim and Dan left.
"In fact they want to smash it. ehheh..." I love that Ben included that in the video.
Still my favorite GI video of all time. I've watched this at least 10 times.
If they didn't eat like shit during this it would have been a lot easier
I've watched this so many times since you guys did it.
I'm glad I happened to check Reddit that day, just left you guys on chatting aimlessly while I slept!
Hanson's magnum opus.
You'll pay for your transactions.
Ben Reeves needs more screen time. He's such a fun guy!
I wish I knew you guys were doing this so I could have watched, however I did get to watch like 80% of the multiple record breaking marathon and that was awesome.

It's a metaphor or something.
Really glad I found this. I loved watching this live, it was just so relaxing to listen to you guys and to know I could happily sleep while you were forced to play a game...
Thank you so much! Did it do well on Reddit or something?
If he was playing Melee for 27 hours his hands would fall off
I think I have the world record for number of times watching this.
I'm on my 3rd go now. I just find their interactions to be hilarious. The opening is too good.
Fourth time watching this... It gets better every time!
I miss this staff
I was hoping you guys would put this on here!
This is such a great video... I've watched it multiple times!
@eduardoavai Very astute observation.
"Well riddle me this, ass hat..."
that fucking ending hahaha oh god
The ending is fantastic.
Holy shit, that NOS tent. Just awful.
I'm reading Dan's book Anxiety as an Ally. I'm at the part where he's talking about the year 2009, that's two years away from this event. From now on I think I'll look at Dan differently after reading his struggles.
It definitely made it to the front page or /r/gaming, that's where I saw it.
Thanks again for doing this, guys!
Man, imagine getting some disc error
WILD HORSE

FOUR ALL
That cutaway at the end and Ben Hanson's face. Priceless.
I love how Ben says "This is like the Deep Purple of computer systems", and no one responds right away but all three of them just shake their heads.
Oh man. Marisha Ray at the the end hocking NOS merch. Completely forgot about that.
does this take place in minneapolis game infomer headquarters is in minneapolis right??
nevermind got my question answered so weird this is right mby my house and i never knew cuz u cant tell from outside

I hope Tim never leaves. Replay would be nothing without Tim.
+Dukefazon Guess what bitches
Hilary Wilton I know :'(
Hilary Wilton I've since changed my opinion on them ending it though. They should definitely keep going.
Here's to 6 more years!
I like how the opening shot is of all those people jogging while these guys are sitting down to play a game for a long, loooong time lol.
Man, I want some NOS
Why is this not 27 hours long?
Anyone know if there is a video of their other group/individual record breaking livestream?
i loved ben's face at the end in the nos booth
34:59 - I heard some Bizarre Detective there from Ben :)
What music plays at 26:27?! It is driving me crazy because I know it is from a NES game, but...
Greg Lytle metroid brinstar depths used in ssbm
+MrScrubnub Thanks!
when dan got his USA pjs on...shit got real
Glad I could finally watch this
man it must have felt awful to view your own record be broken right in front of you :C
Am I the only one who fell for Annette as soon as she showed up?
Highly underrated personalities!
I think they played "All that she wants" at Laci Peterson's wake. Also, can't believe this was 10 years ago almost.
This probably seems like a dumb question to you music people, but what is the tune that plays around 30:00 when Jeff starts to get up?
Are you going to make a documentary of when you guys broke the multiple records at the same time.
29:16 PIPO SHIRT!
Bittersweet.
Third time watching this. I wish I had seen the entire stream.
Really? I could never find it.
27 hrs of Brawl sounds like torcher. I would've lasted an hour before putting in Melee.
1:07:21 OH SNAP! That’s Marisha Ray!
Is it me or Ben Hanson had a crush on the Guinness lady? He seemed to put the camera on her whenever he had a chance.
Dust that phone.
Hey Ben, what's the whistle song you use here? I *think* it's from Animal Crossing, but I'm not 100% sure what it's called?
Also, Phil and Annette. :(
0:00-1:07:00 Is what's great about the gaming industry
1:07:01-1:08:06 Is what's shit about it.
Her laugh after the pun was funny.
8:30 this video brought to you by Prada... and Jeff's big head.
It's about time for Dan to rally the duders and take the crown back.
Badass Pokémon music as the ending them.
Was Marisha Ray, from critical role, the NOS girl at the end?
i liked how you guys played animal crossing music around 16:23 or so

i need to find 3 other ppl who will beat this record with me...when smash wii u comes out
He's cute. His buddy, not the dog. lmao!
Anyone wanna do this with 'Chameleon Twist'?
sounds artsy
The end's ending... what a bummer :(
Gameinformer has more will-power though!
Fifth time! I wish they would do another one!
The Game.
@gameinformer Can't blame you.
Hat Melgeson!!!

I agree with Jeff
wheres the footage from the second marathon?!
good for them. but honestly I've done the same thing longer except with my first dark souls play through and honestly whenv morrowind came out I probly stayed up for 3 solid days stopping only to text and take a shower. with them sleeping rule I feel like a week should be the record maybe I'm just a freak that doesn't need sleep
