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.
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!
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 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'm surprised these videos that focus more on the personalities of the staff (Replay, Spoiled, etc.) don't garner that many views on RUclips. They're so well done, some of my favorite.
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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..
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?
From my favorite era of GI. It doesn't get any better than this. RIP Game Informer!
Ben Hanson, you outdid yourself with this video. Those musical interludes are fantastic. Great shots and deft editing.
Good times, Dan/Tim/Jeff era replay was the best. 👍
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.
Jeff Cork is a national treasure. We must protect him.
Thanks for watching it. I slept for a couple of hours on the floor, it was fun.
I’ve been staying tuned for 6 years.
Thank you for your patience.
Oh we're staying tuned alright.

We love you!
What makes GI so great is the humor, and the ability to relate to this bunch of extraordinary gentlemen
Sincerely one of my favorite things to come back to. Great feelings from a great time with a great group of people.
I honest to god thought that this was about the Game Informer crew getting smashed on Guinness.
Serendra Hardu oh my god me too!

Hanson's magnum opus.

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?
I still wish there was an archive of the entire live stream!
"In fact they want to smash it. ehheh..." I love that Ben included that in the video.
GI took a nosedive when Tim and Dan left.
Still my favorite GI video of all time. I've watched this at least 10 times.
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!

It's a metaphor or something.
If they didn't eat like shit during this it would have been a lot easier
I was hoping you guys would put this on here!
of all the videos i dont want to see go, i thiunk this one tops the list, RIP Gameinformer
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...
You'll pay for your transactions.
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.
Ben Reeves needs more screen time. He's such a fun guy!
This is such a great video... I've watched it multiple times!
Fourth time watching this... It gets better every time!
If he was playing Melee for 27 hours his hands would fall off
It definitely made it to the front page or /r/gaming, that's where I saw it.
Thanks again for doing this, guys!
The ending is fantastic.
"Well riddle me this, ass hat..."
Holy shit, that NOS tent. Just awful.
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
I miss this staff
that fucking ending hahaha oh god
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.
@eduardoavai Very astute observation.
Thank you so much! Did it do well on Reddit or something?
Man, imagine getting some disc error
That cutaway at the end and Ben Hanson's face. Priceless.
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.
Bittersweet.
FOUR ALL
Glad I could finally watch this
Anyone know if there is a video of their other group/individual record breaking livestream?
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.
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.
WILD HORSE
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
Oh man. Marisha Ray at the the end hocking NOS merch. Completely forgot about that.

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 loved ben's face at the end in the nos booth
Man, I want some NOS
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.
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?
29:16 PIPO SHIRT!
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!
I think they played "All that she wants" at Laci Peterson's wake. Also, can't believe this was 10 years ago almost.
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. :(
when dan got his USA pjs on...shit got real
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.
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
Anyone wanna do this with 'Chameleon Twist'?
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.
27 hrs of Brawl sounds like torcher. I would've lasted an hour before putting in Melee.
Dust that phone.
man it must have felt awful to view your own record be broken right in front of you :C
Highly underrated personalities!
It's about time for Dan to rally the duders and take the crown back.
34:59 - I heard some Bizarre Detective there from Ben :)
He's cute. His buddy, not the dog. lmao!
1:07:21 OH SNAP! That’s Marisha Ray!
Are you going to make a documentary of when you guys broke the multiple records at the same time.
Her laugh after the pun was funny.
Badass Pokémon music as the ending them.
Third time watching this. I wish I had seen the entire stream.
Really? I could never find it.
i need to find 3 other ppl who will beat this record with me...when smash wii u comes out
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!
Why is this not 27 hours long?
Am I the only one who fell for Annette as soon as she showed up?
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..
The Game.
sounds artsy
Hat Melgeson!!!
The end's ending... what a bummer :(
Gameinformer has more will-power though!
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?
@gameinformer Can't blame you.
8:30 this video brought to you by Prada... and Jeff's big head.
Fifth time! I wish they would do another one!
0:47:35 "You guys are nuts.."
0:57:31 Like a shotgun?? wtf?
0:43:45
the birds eating his head.
I agree with Jeff
