Wayyyyy too unsexy, man. Good job at your E3 coverage tho!

Tartarus, really? Heh heh heh, nice…. Well, not nice, being in hotels like that are horrid, just be glad you guys didn't get the room with only one bed. Was there at least AC? I wouldn't mind no internet with AC.

Coffin, LOL…been there….

i hope you have more vlogs from hotel from hell xd very funny

Are you sure you weren't at Holiday Inn in Amarillo TX?

Holy Shit, its like you guys were in some kind of Cube or Hypercube movie, except they ran out of money. I think you should start a segment exclusively to review messed up hotels, and you should live cast it out so we can watch your suffering.

Wow the hotel conversation had me in stitches man, as much as it sucked for you guys it made my night. I'm with Joe on NV and Brink though, I think your bein a tad harsh.

Seems like you had a good time ;-)
Thanks for all the broadcasting! keep it up spoony!

Man and I was gonna try and track you guys down at Screw Attack lol, someone's beating me to the punch…

Your guy's attitude for fans is amazing, really appreciative.

You've also inspired me to start something similar to what you do, but I'm probably not that good.

oh spoony, the way you were lying on that bed…so seductive ;D

Wow, that's a horrible hotel experience. It would have been even worse if the pizza hadn't come, right?

Aw, man. That hotel really sucked, make a picture of it or something with the title “Hotel from hell!” like the old 70's horror shows.

where'd you get that infoocom shirt I WANT IT

“I guess the water fossit's running” – you said that like it's not something obligatory for a hotel to have :D
Well i guess that for THAT hotel it's something that you'd not expect xD

“I like it!”
I'm dying from laughter.

yelp “wifi didn’t work. they didn’t care. they didn’t fix it. towels had cigarette burns in it. a/c was central so we couldn’t control it and froze underneath the paper thin “blankets” that didn’t blanket anything.
the “heated” pool was freezing. the staff was unhelpful and told us that wifi is “not guranteed” as part of the hotel though it is posted on the giant billboard in front of the hotel. this hotel ruined our trip. and though I realize it was cheap, I’ve booked many cheap hotels before and this hotel was disgusting.” Sounds awesome

wow, looks like you guys barely survived the roach motel… it's like the Hotel California for nerds…

I think the movie theater I used to work at was that ghetto, though my place had ceiling tiles falling

thanks for suffering for us, Spoony!

Spoony, I got you beat, seriously. When me and my Dad went up to Montreal a few years ago (The Day After Tomorrow was in theatres, I recall), we found a hotel that advertised $25 Canadian per night. There was no TV, there was no shower, there was a sink, but no soap, there was only one bed, there was no chair in the room. One lamp with a burn-out bulb. Internet? HA-HA. You have to be dreaming. Good thing when I got there I was so tired from the ride that I just collapsed unconscious on the bed – because I did not want to examine what the heck stains there was on that bed.

Then on the street, we saw a tiny little dark door with a small hand-written sign that claimed $7 per night. I don't even want to imagine what the Hell was in there.

Who became the little spoon?

(awesome, awesome video Spoony, funniest I've ever seen you :P)

You would be surprised how many people love your show, to the point that they would go to E3 just to see you (not going to lie, if I was in L.A. I may have tried to…except I defiantly do not have the money for a E3 ticket heh)

This was by far, one of the funniest Vlogs I have seen in awhile :) I personally can't wait to see you rip out on FF14 for hours, but that's just me. 15 min was not enough to voice how bad it was, I can tell. But yeah, now I'm off to watch your Day 2 slash 3, I'm curious about what you think of Fable 3. Personally I like the Fable series, but ehhh, hasn't caught me like I wished it would. Maybe Fable 3 will be that one to catch me and make me play for hours on end heh

Also want to know who lost the Ro-Sham-Bo. Who was the little spoon? :P

That'd be about average for around $100 in LA

Aww, you skipped how joe got the phone working. =(

That must have been hell for you. I feel your pain just next time you find yourself in a hotel such as that, bring protection.

I think it was pretty obvious that the front desk was fucking with them, hence why they were laughing earlier on.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA TOO FUNNY!!! Sound like the motel I stayed at in Mexico. That TV story is too lol!!!

Damn, Spoony, that's horrible.

I work for a big hotel company, and if any of our hotels were that bad, we'd shut the place down.

Spoony reviewing sh*t while eating. Ah, that brings me back a while…

Wow. I reallly hope the hotel I'm crashing in South Carolina this August isn't this bad. I'm going on a pretty low budget vacation with my brother, and a few friends. I've been to a few shitty hotels in my day, but that was fucking terrible. On the one hand I envy you guys for getting to check out E3 seeing how it'll never be a public show. But on the other hand. Just wow. Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad hotel.

That explains why no one has really posted any E3 updates!!

Like I said in the Day 1 video comments, New Vegas is NOT FO4 thankfully, it's just a side-project thing from actually some old Black Isle workers at Bethesda while the people who did FO3 are doing 4. So I think people should look at it less like just a new game that could've been DLC (like say, oh, L4D2?) and more like… I guess FO3 had it been made by Black Isle? That's what I'm hoping. At the worst it's a very expensive expansion pack, which… isn't good, but at least it's not just FO4.

Also, it does feel really nice when people walk up to you and say they love and were inspired by some little internet project nonsense you do. S'pretty awesome. And humbling!

Spoony, I'm disappointed. You passed up a PERFECT opportunity to make a joke about Kanji's Bad Bad Bathhouse!

Demolition Man. :D

top notch reporting, spoony. well done.

Man Spoony, that was the FUNNIEST vid about a hotel i ever saw! i agree the laughing elevator sound you made had me crackin up…i'll never be able to go into an elevator again without hearing that sound…ive stayed at my share of shitty hotels but ones where the AC is YANKED outta the wall…WTF??!! and that shit with the shower!! that was BS right there!! i would have had Joe bitch out the manager of the damn hotel!! and get your money back!! that hotel was crap!! I'm going to LA in sept and i am NOT staying at a piece of shit hotel like that one!! LUV YA SPOONY

watch out for ghetto hotels if you try and step on their cockroaches they will step on you back

Clarion Hotel off the list? Check.

God, what a horrible place. Some of that bad service could be attributed to being jampacked and overloaded by E3, but the air conditioner. WTF?!

And it just hit me when you put the camera back on the bed. It happened. It actually happened.

We all just spooned with Spoony.

wow guys, what happens at E3 stays at at Eh boys?

still as hotels go, i've seen and slept in worse.

are guys high when u did this? haha

Fallout New Vegas isn't really made by Bethesda. It's made by Obsidian entertainment. Supposedly it's founding members are from Black Isle, guys who made the original Fallouts.

“Oh wow that's like right next door. We should get it to you fast, about a hour and a half.”

I laughed soooo loud there. I was wondering why you hadn't done any updates until today. Obviously having no internet was a major detriment to that. I also loved the elevator that did a evil laugh at you :)

Spoony, sorry to hear about your horror hotel experience but trust me there are worse hotels out there. Business trips can show you a side of the hotel industry that you can't even think possible. In regards to the weak ass water pressure. Some hotels put some kind of plate/plug in there showerheads to reduce the watter flow. Thus causing weak water pressure, making guests take quick showers, thus savinig some cash on water expenses. Should you ever run into this situation again try unscrewing the showerhead and see if it has the plate/plug and remove it, if not you can always bring in your own showerhead next time.

oh no, he's going to make spooning with spoony 3 :O RUN JOE RUN!

on another note, I thought I had bad luck with hotels in the past o.o; you pretty much beat out any stories I have for bad places ever.

ehhh, Hey Spoony, don't feel too terribly bad, I've had some REALLY horrible hotel experiences myself. At least it looks nice where you were.

Hope that pizza settled things down. I don't know if your fond of Pizza hut or not, but I certainly like it a lot better than Dominos.

this is the most P.O.S hotel i've ever scene.

20 bucks for internet.
Cheap E3 bastards

YOU'VE TO HELL!!! aka Los Angeles

Okay, I can see where your point of view is coming from spoony, but I can guarantee you this is NOT a cheap knockoff off fallout 3.Yes, I will admit that obviously the dumb-ass at the demo or whatever didn't have a clue what he was talking about and deserved to get punched in the face, but don't take your anger out on the game. This game has harnessed a LOT of the strengths and repaired a lot of fallout 3's original weaknesses. Okay Im going to give you a fairly detailed version of what this guy should have said:
Okay, with the previous main fallout games we've had some affiliation with the vault dwellers in relation of some variety, but this one starts you of in the middle of the desert shot down and buried in the desert. You start off after one of the TV robotic guardians (I don't know much just what I've researched as I'm 15) finds you and brings you back to the town of goodsprings out in the Mojave wasteland. Now the doctor there helps you set up your stats such as your special and tag skills in a different way than last time, with a Rorschach test, You know the ink blot test? Thats a quite bit different from the capital wastes already.
Now this game includes a very 2 important old factions that came from the original fallout 1 & 2 which would be: The NCR, and the remnants of the mariposa base super mutants. You remember this two groups, badass mutants who actually had two brain cells to rub together and could get a spark, and the people who actually have remade a smaller scale government based on old ways of government pre-war.
Now we also have a entirely new place to explore, the Mojave wasteland, which is close to a third large than the capital wasteland, I do believe. But New Vegas also brings back a older thing that we didn't see in the last game which would be the gambling system which can be found in the City of New Vegas.
Now on to the weapons, okay, yes the number the dude gave you was accurate. There are approximately double the amount of weapons, now I do note that a LOT of these are probably nexus steals to some degree but however they have acknowledged and given thanks to modders who had given them this idea.There are a lot of interesting new features with the weapons systems and how they operate now. Melee weapons now have special attacks in VATS for more AP cost. Weapons that have bullets fed individually can now fire between loading animations. And as far as I have heard, the mods don't just stop at the guns, I've heard of mods affecting explosives, but that I'm not sure about.

Now, a lot of us have heard about the new game-play effects, Karma has been downsized dramatically, while a new reputation system has been put into order that interchanges between towns so that the entire world doesn't love or hate you all at once. Now, Spoony, I have seen your Vlogs on fallotu 3 in the past and I must say that you had a point, thats why Bethesda challenged you with the new hardcore mode thats been added, Ammo has weight, Healing takes time, and Crippled limbs have to be treated by a doctor, or a specific item in your inventory, no more instant stimpak heal. Oh and there is a better armor system this time around. Certain armors are more vulnerable to certain things while others aren't for example, It s going to be hard as a bitch to take down a guy in power armor with a 10mm.
Now, you had a big complaint with followers in the past which has now been countered with the Companion wheel which gives much more specific and logical orders to your followers.
Lastly, the jokes. Okay, as a former fallout 1 & 2 player yourself, your probably likely to get a lot more running jokes from the first two that carry over into this game than I am, because I came in at fallout 3. There are likely to be references in there for the generation who got 1 & 2 and not just 3. You also get the general references in the pre-order packages like the carvan outfit and shotgun and the old vault 13 armor and 10mm
Well its 12:30 at night, I hope this helps you understand the game a bit better, Spoony, and I hope you'll play it. This was fueled by two and a half cans of mtn dew whiteout. By the way I am not a employee of bethesda just a guy who loves the game.

Colby Phillips is right!! you shouldent judge a book by its cover! that aside i really liked this video. like a home movie, makes me feel like im there with you guys. Well done!

Haha, that was hilarious. I’ve kept up with a lot of coverage from E3 and yours is already the best. Screwattack have done well, but they missed games like Shogun II, and even Fallout 3: New Vegas, which I was glad to hear your impression of. Looking forward to the rest.

I had some bad hotel experiences myself. The worst one I can remember was coincidentially enough in LA as well, lol. The window in our motel was broken. I don't mean the glass was shattered or anything, I meant that the window was completely and utterly stuck open. The hinges were bad, and it was either sleep tonight with it open or risk breaking the whole window and end up paying for it. Me and my family thought we were going to be eaten alive by mosquitos. See I'm from the midwest, and you DO NOT leave an unscreened window open during the summer if you value a night of itch-free sleep. What we learned though was that LA does not have a big bug problem, atleast not during that current time of the season. Thank God for that.

And as for the inspiration, you and the guys at TGWTG have done wonders for me. I've had a rough year since I graduated from college, and so far have been unable to find any decent work. I spent 7 months unemployed, doing any odd job I could to make money. Assist neighbors and family members for a little cash, substitute teach, Salvation Army, whatever I could find. Then finally I got a full-time job in the first week of this year as a security guard. The pay was garbage, the work was terrible, and the hours were from 3PM-11PM, pretty much guaranteeing that I would rarely ever get to see friends or family. I quit that job recently after finding a new one, but it only pays a little more and it's the same bad hours.

Ontop of that, it's a janitor job. I busted my ass off for four years at Purdue University, made the Dean's List, got good grades, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science. And what was my reward? I became a fucking janitor. When I was younger, I was told I had to go to college to avoid this EXACT SAME JOB, and I ended up with it anyway. I'm still trying to find better work, but the job market still stinks right now, and the only jobs I have been able to get in the last year are the ones nobody else wants to do.

You, Joe, Jason, and all the others have done more than you will ever realize. On some days I feel just so shitty, that the only thing that gets me through the day are the memories I have where all of you had made me laugh. After a bad day of work, I go to your shows and they cheer me up. You'd be surprised how a simple Insano line can give me the energy I need to do what I have to do. In my darkest of times, I can still pull from the sea of memories of all the times you've made me laugh.

You are more than just reviewers, you enrich people's lives and put a smile on their faces. Thank you.

Oh and Joe, my friend also owes you. He was so close to buying Alpha Protocol until your review warned him not to. So thanks for saving him $60!

I doubt anyone especially spoony will read this (plus i pretty sure someone else might have already clarified this) but I work at a decent dominoes that's gets steady business and 7:00 to 8:00 is THE peak to peak hour. Now an hour and half delivery time is BS but 7:30 is a really bad time to call.

lol spoony and joe are opposite extremes. Spoony is a lil too pessimistic and picky (sorry spoony) and Joe is just… way too optimistic. lol. imo anyway

I will NEVER get tired of watching spoony ramble about everyday life :D
<3 spoony ramblings

This may be my favourite video of yours Spoony, and while I like the info on E3 I prefer the genral chatting and rambling, you, Joe and JewWario should just fuck around more often, it's gold :3
Plus Angry Joe juxtaposed with you just calmly chating about stuff is fucking hilarious :D love your work.

Ah, Spoony, I'm sorry you had to go through that Hell. I see the Clarion hasn't upgraded their standards since my visit to E3. I feel your pain, dude…

E3 media guide? Looks just like a copy of Ad Age, no kidding. And did you say you were going to wear a WINE shirt? Awesome! My husband is involved with them—love 'em!

Spoony! One thing you should check on BRINK, if you haven't already, is the SMART feature. It basically lets you either vault over obstacles or slide under them, depending on which way you're facing. The opposite of what I hate in most FPSes, which is you get hung up on the smallest of knee-high protrusions from the ground, and sometimes you can't even jump over things you should be able to. Well, basically, from the trailers/demos I've seen, they've fixed that in BRINK, so I'd like to see that working. Also, I like the different approach with the deformed art style. Other than that, I agree, it doesn't look like anything terribly special.

No offense, but I can't stand that people leave the water running… Say 10 other people in the hotel were doing the exact same thing, no wonder there is no pressure…

Also, whenever I've been travelling around (in Europe), Americans always hassle the hotels for their quality. You seem a little pampered. If you don't wanna miss out on the comfort of your own home, you aren't fit for travel….

It's still a funny story the way you tell it.. And I'm looking forward to the rest of the videos.

After your Crystal Skull review, this is my favorite video.
Seriously, you should travel around the world and make more Hotel reviews.

They fell for the “California convention hotel” fallacy, which is that people assume that the hotel nearest the convention hall is the nicest when in fact the place was built years before the convention center was built (the older the chain hotel/motel the worse they get) or the hotel is as old as the convention center but constantly in use so no repairs to the rooms can ever be made. It's all a gigantic scam between the hoteliers, the chamber of commerce, and the convention owners to cut the cabbies out that is so devious it makes “Chinatown” look like “Who Framed Rodger Rabbit?”

And yes I am a Californian.

Look if a hotel considers it's a luxury hotel which the Clarion does, I'd give them a hard time about the quality of the room. It's a freaking “luxury hotel”! It's supposed to be nicer then home! If it were the Days Inn or a Super 8 I wouldn't be bothered so much. It is in the concept of you get what you pay for and if I'm are paying for luxury, I'd better get it.

Spoony, I have a place in LA, so I may need to find you at E3 next year. Or maybe you will be in town for Anime Expo… who knows… go Lakers :)

Yea, I picked up FO3 just on Spoony and Scarlet's approval… hadn't actually heard to much of the series. Seeing as I haven't gotten through much of the original campaign I'm not in too big of a hurry. Just wondering, thanks for the response!

Spoony you are a SISSY you don't know what kind of places marines have to spleep.

So Fallout New Vegas is Fallout 3 with different quests and some new weapons?

Ah, it's like Fallout 2!

putz grila…vocês foram à E3…para tomarem no cú! 5 paus por uma lata de coca…90 por internet banda-larga…se bem que, quanto a hotéis, já fiquei em piores. e com um chuveiro pior.

Wow, that sucked. A Motel 6 would have been better.

To me, E3 is just a boring session of videos and infos. I admit if I would live in US, I'd be very eager to see it. I live in Czech Republic (i wouldn't be surprised if someone doesn't know where it is) and nothing interesting about gaming happens here. NOTHING. So I decided to watch at least Spoony's materials from E3 and it's great. I finally got inetersted in SW TOR.
Also, you mentioned that you met people, that recognize you or even started to be interested in journalism. That's actually my case too :-). After watching severl vids I said” Hey, I'm into gaming, I don't have problem with writing, so why not to try it?” And now I write for one of the biggest sites about Xbox360 her in Czech R. :-) So thx for the infos, reviews etc, keep up the good work!

Great video ! It will all become great memories for you guy. As for fans recognizing you three, I wouldn't be surprised. Your videos indeed mean a lot to many of us around the world. It's all about sharing experiences !

Oh come on Joe! Don't eat pizza on the bed! What are you thinking!?

You know, they have an overhaul mod out for Fallout 3 called FOOK2. It's basically a mod that doubles (possibly triples) the amount of weapons/armor/clothing in vanilla and is compatible with every expansion pack Bethesda has thrown out so far.

So from what you've said so far and from what I've heard, Fallout New Vegas is essentially just another expansion pack with a new city, and possibly repackaged into a new game retailing at $60. Oh joy.

You know what Bethesda really needs to do? Work on the story and writing! Part of what made Fallout 2 and 1 so great was the dialogue and storyline and how it impacted the endings which were completely different from each other depending on what you did. I know Spoony complained about it in his Fallout 3 review, and I'm pretty sure I complained about it long before he even finished the game.

btw, lol Spoony. Its pretty obvious that you do not travel internationally all that often. I've stayed at hotels in India with lizard infestations all over the place (in their culture, its apparently not that big of a deal for lizards to be everywhere). I also had a lizard fall on my head, have had no wi-fi, air conditioning, or english-speaking television for 3 months because the only thing that played on tv was boring Indian soap operas. Despite all this though, there's probably people out there who've had far worse than me.

Although I do understand where you're coming from since you, after all, paid for a hotel room which promised wi-fi and didn't deliver. Sorry for your loss.

Agreed, if you pay for luxury, you should expect better. I usually stay in hostels, but I'm still sometimes positively surprised by their quality. I expect a lot less, I suppose… But if there's a bed and a moderately working shower (heat optional) I'm good.

Don't know at what time the events at E3 stopped, but usually when you're out somewhere, you never really spend any time in the room anyway. Except for changing clothes and sleeping.

Well, all things aside, complaining is basically their job, and they do it in a fun manner.

Your review on tripadvisor was hilarious. Either that or somebody wrote it for you.

i'd buy New Vegas just to see what the fallout modding community can do with it. If it's anything like Fallout 3 the mods for it will be amazing.

OMG the fourth time lol … it gonna be arkward as hell as always lol !

BWHAHAHA YOR RETURNS

Speaking of YOR posters, what the F is up with this:

http://www.antoniomargheriti.com/images/Yor/yor06bis.jpg

?

Faulty Towers much? Have fun you guys!

—
Click some Ad's, it only takes a min and you might even find something you like!
It's worth it to keep Spoony bringing such quality entertainment!!

See, this is what happens when nobody in the party devotes points to their Appraise skill.

What made Fallout 1 and 2 was so great was the dialogue and storyline? Oh please, Fallout 1 and 2 were mediocre at best. It's a lot like Morrowind, they were good RPG's, but they were not good games, in the sense that, to win the game, all you needed was the power armor and plasma rifle, and you were unstoppable. To cope with this in Fallout 2, they basically added the Enclave, who gangrape you with numbers and plasma rifles, and it turned the game into a repetition of Stimpack, Plasma Rifle, Stimpack, Plasma Rifle, Reload, Stimpack, Plasma Rifle, etc. At least Bethesda has been making fun games. Recently, anyway.

Except for F1 and F2, half the endings were broken, and weren't “endings” as much as slideshows of all the stuff you've done, like in F3.

he meet Bob Suicide, that is the Bob he was talking about im sad, she part of Suicide Girls and she is my favorite, but suck about all that shit you guys want though

This is among my favorite vlogs you've ever done.

I would gleefully watch a series with you and various guests entitled “Hotels from Hell” where you go around and decry the worst hotels anyone has ever seen. But that's probably too much torture for anyone.

YEAH convention centers will sodomize you for conveniences your used to paying NORMAL prices.

If I was a movie director I would call this clip “The Suffering” instead of “The Quickening” haha spoony, the pain you go through to give us these great clips, you are a god Spoony.

If I was a movie director I would call this clip “The Suffering” instead of “The Quickening” haha spoony, the pain you go through to give us these great clips, you are a god Spoony.

I see the advent of a new show: Starring Spoony, Angry Joe and JewWario. ‘Hotel Nightmares’ – They stay at the worst hotels so you don’t have to.

Certainly it’s better than living with your parents you shithead

dude i was visiting my fam, in LA and i was 5 blocks away at the time…FUCK…oh well

I’m kinda curious if you guys ever got your room comp, and who had to spoon with Spoony?

This hotel sounds like the american version of fawlty towers :p.

This hotel sounds like the american version of fawlty towers :p.

Hello America, I am not being ignorant now, rather you are, going to be, at what I write now: Have you heard about this thing called Energy? and Energy (with capital E) is not eternal, I repeat, eternal. A wise thing to do: Use it wisely, I know it is not a part of your culture or upbringing. Here’s another thing: There is a limited supply of oil on planet Earth, and one of the reasons gas prizes raises, is to do about 2 things: Make people use other kind of elaborate transport that uses electricity, or make people want to use electric cars > supply and demand > companies study how to effectively use energy/electricity because of supply and demand > brighter future. Don’t take it litterally: I went to school.

I might be ignorant to when it comes to the huge distances people have to travel in the US just to buy groceries, it’s weird though… train thought about the American Dream passed…

Maybe this is just a remarkable case, but when my old man was in the US to study, he was in a room, where the radiators was on maximum, and they could’nt turn them down. So they had to open all windows just to be able to be in the room half naked… this reminds me of a Futurama episode, god I love that show, I can heartly imagine that show is made in the US, it is the direct opposite, already in 1999 they knew America would NOT be futuristic (refering to how the US is present date compared to the rest of the world)

I know this is beating a dead horse, but pulling up “We won the WW2 for ya” is getting old, and no one fucking cares. Sorry I’m speaking to the US as general, don’t take this personal.

One last thing, have you ever checked the OTHER SIDE OF THE GLOBUS?! Big shocker! America is not the only continent.

(I’m excited to see all the dimwits who’s going to reply this)

If you consider yourself a respectful and not categorizing yourself an ignorant, then stop acting that way.

*shiver* I can’t believe hotels like that exists. Well at least we have good old spoony here warning us never to go to places like that

Spoony: Game Critic

and all around fantastic guy…keep on going, dude!
