Couldn't agree more. Perfect mix of nostalgia, humor, and good times.

The No Signal thing happens when the RetroTINK and/or the Elgato takes time to find the video signal after losing it. That can happen for a few reasons, including resolution changes (which some PS2 games actually do, especially when using Component cables). But in this case, it's probably because when switching games on the demo disc, the PS2 likely does some sort of reset, momentarily dropping the video signal completely. But Dan mentions having the RetroTINK 5x Pro, which actually has the ability to handle resolution changes with zero issues -- it's one of its main advertised features. A quick Google search says that in the 5x's menu, you need to go to "HDMI" and set V-Sync to "Triple Buffer" to eliminate issues with resolution changes -- games like Chrono Cross, Silent Hill, and that game in the previous Demo Derby will be displayed flawlessly from the 5x. That said, I'm not sure if that will fix a video signal dropping completely, like I suspect is happening when a demo is loaded. But at least it's not in the middle of a game in that case. Just note that setting V-Sync to Triple Buffer adds a tiny amount of lag, so don't set it when playing games where even a frame or two of lag can mess you up, e.g. Punch-Out.

You fixed it! Thanks!

Demo Derby and Blight Club with this crew is Giant Bomb. You guys have legit made me believe GB is back for the first time in ages. Please keep doing what you are doing!

Oh my!? Another Demo Derby!? Straight spoiling us with all this goodness.

Please make Demo Derby a weekly series.

Fugitive Hunter needs to be a future blight club game.

I played that game in an emulator a few years ago. It's absurd how much abject insanity is contained on that disc lol

Yeah, that score is garbage. But according to HLTB, it's only 3 to 5 hours. Maybe it can be part of a B-Lite Club grab bag.

@@Lentil_IllnessI’ve been thinking that for the next round they should all each do a three hour game.

Oh wow, another Demo Derby this quickly! I can get used to this!

Yes Jeff should expense a Retrotink 4K. It's really good and worth it.

and this is how i found out about EQOA, and the rest as they say, is history.

Holy shit, imagine having your videogame choreographed by bona fide Hong Kong action cinema legend Cory Yuen. Guaranteed they never managed to translate even a fraction of that talent to the screen lol

Yeah it’s a bummer, which sucks because I’d love to see him do a game NOW.

Yay! A demo derby for a demo disk I actually owned!

Mike being really bothered by Dan not liking something is so unbelievably ironic

I don't care about wrestling really, but I always like hearing Dan be really hype about it, it's nice to hear people talk about things they really love

I tried Vex recently and thought it was pretty fun. The combat and movement was pretty fluid and enjoyable, can't say much about the rest of it.

TIL that THQ stands for Toy Headquarters

Dan's ability to gaslight himself is simultaneously amusing and infuriating. "If I want it to be true I will angrily repeat it until everyone gives up explaining why I'm wrong."

Great to see Quarashi, a very underrated band

I thought that Vexx looked terrible even back then. We’d make fun of him.

I played and still have this demo disc, ahh the memories

So glad these are coming out more frequently. It's always a delight. Any chances other hosts can make the series? Or will it mostly be the Blight Club Crew? for lack of a better term

DEMO DERBY LETS GO

I remember getting a demo disk with Amplitude on it for my ps2, it was the Network adapter 2.0 disk. So many memories of playing the same couple songs over and over. I also remember playing THPS 4 online using Dial-up, It felt so futuristic. I had played Diablo 1 online but game consoles going online was so novel to me.

as weird as it sounds Vexx is a core childhood memory for me and one of the games I really do need to just go finally beat to satisfy 9yo me

You all saying that about not liking that basketball games camera is hilarious because that is the most commonly used camera amongst 2K players and it’s basically become a meme at this point making fun of people who don’t use it. The “side view” is called broadcast and broadcast users are immediately roasted lol.

Still waiting for the original European Demo 1 disc (V1 that came with EU Playstations in 1995)

Seeing Jet Li in a motion capture suit is some real "oh no this was before oh no" shit if you know

29:04 til wrestling. And yeah, Blue Stinger. With all this Prime talk, it's like Dan's forgotten the joy of Hassy.

oh hell yeah

Excuse me, Mr. Tolkto! That "weird Resident Evil thing" was Resident Evil Outbreak (and Outbreak File #2) and they were awesome. 4 player online coop Resident Evil, set during the events of RE2/RE3, with big (for the time) maps exploring parts of Raccoon City we'd never seen before. They're exactly what RE multiplayer should be and it's insane they haven't brought the series back.

43:18 - perfect

I will say the first time i saw an HD trailer for Devil May Cry 4 on my shitty first generation no brand HD TV definitely blew my mind at the time but i still agree that's not the biggest leap.

Please don't look up what happened to Lost Prophets, it's so messed up.

As canceled as some of the wrestlers in the SmackDown demo are, they got nothing on Ian Watkins.

Oh lost prophets …. That guy. He’s still in jail right?

Can't say I expected an Amstrad mention in this. Haven't heard the Oliver twin get namedropped in decades. I hate Dizzy and everything he stands for.

Check the live tab. Nearly all of it is there

Do your Live show wrestling entrances like how WhatCulture did theirs on their Live show by using 16bit wrestling entrance music for each host. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

I gave a 👍for Dan

As someone who plays music my take on the Beatles has always been I personally find their music bland and boring, but their recordings where revolutionary and doing things no one at the time thought of or did and they changed the world, and they where the first band to get their records to sound good even when comparing to "modern" bands. The problem is if they came out NOW with the same skill level they are not remembered the amazing recording quality skews peoples thoughts. They are overrated as a general ruling when remembered as "one of the best bands ever" change "best" to "important" and I can agree, otherwise I think you are nuts. I think the same think about Hendrix.

Dan runs jokes into the ground worse than any human being in history. edit- DAN. LINK IS AN ELF! What happened to New Dan? How is he getting WORSE again?
