Grandma NEEDS it al dente

[@juanjuri6127]

those are actually the difficulty levels:
- Grandma likes it al dente
- Grandma wants it al dente
- Grandma demands it al dente
- Grandma needs it al dente
- AL DENTE OR GRANDMA GETS IT

[@DeathnoteBB]

Esta Fortaleza no no no, its:
- Grandma likes it al dente
- Grandma wants it al dente
- Grandma needs it al dente
- Grandma orders it al dente
And the locked difficultly level, "Al dente or death"

[@treyforest2466]

I just bought the new version, with even more difficulty levels.
-Grandma thinks slightly chewier pasta is alright, but she's not picky
-Grandma would prefer it not cooked quite so long, if you wouldn't mind
-Grandma likes it al dente
-Grandma wants it tough
-Grandma craves firm pasta
-Grandma expects it solid
-Grandma demands to have to chew it for fifteen minutes
-Grandma needs it to basically just be raw
-Give Grandma pasta she can break her jaw on right bloody now or she's writing you out of her will
-The world will end if you don't give Grandma pasta strong enough to scratch diamond

This game had very good graphic. It was just a really good .jpg

[@nanaramarae]

VERY glossy

[@mabor0shiNGT]

This episode was the first time I ever experienced Nick & Griffin. Every year, on the anniversary of that day, I take my grandma to Olive Garden. She hates it, but I couldn't care less.

[@soohdooj]

she hates it, but she NEEDS it,...... al dente

[@panie445]

Wasn't it uploaded today...?

[@vickilacroix6410]

this was literally the first episode of a 50+ episode podcast, its at least a year old now

[@TheTetrapod]

It's crazy to me that people don't know where these come from.

[@clownfriend]

sorry for going off topic but 👍love that sotaisei riron icon

[@jaytang79]

jesus, it's about time ep1 was animated.

[@baitzadasuto]

can't believe they can't even get the title of "Grandma Wants It Al Dente: Grandma NEEDS It Al Dente" right

[@duckyc0769]

sequel idea in which you yourself are the grandma and you just dunk on your grand-kids and their cooking skills

[@DeathnoteBB]

Sophia W A "Cooking Grandma" if you will

[@Level5virus]

There it is, the first one that started it all, in animated glory.

[@PiertoOccult]

I never realized Grandma wants it al dente was suggested by Ben Esposito, the guy who made Donut County. Am I the only one freaking out about this?

[@sleepjoy8221]

Yeah i'm losing it

[@Nopalmtreez]

Wow I just finished donut county and just realized that! Great find 😂

[@caen9873]

The famed Grandma Wants It Al Dente"

[@xDeltaF1x]

Blurry Birb :Grandma NEEDS it Al Dente

[@caen9873]

My apologies.

[@SwanShot]

pfft, some guy at the airport showed me this, t'was my first exposure to Cool Games Inc, I'm p much just going through all the episodes, they're hilarious!

[@neilxmarino]

the photo of the pasta shaman is #iconique

[@danield2667]

That awful pause near the end after Nick says "Al Dente"...those four seconds felt like four years.

[@skylarelliott1051]

yahoo/pasta shaman drew davenport finally teams up with dj slime time to create the best video game of all time

[@BrazenSolar]

it's so weird but the visuals are exactly how I imagined them, to the degree I'm wondering if this is reuploaded?

[@Nerdule]

I'm absolutely certain that this was reuploaded. I'm sure I've seen this before.
Well, either that or there was a fan-animated clip I'm thinking of.

[@guttersp3ak]

Albert "Al" Dente's "Grandma Wants it Al Dente: Grandma Needs it Al Dente"

[@Joe-kw1qu]

This was the glorious day when Coolgames inc. made itself known as the company that made games with a very good graphic.
Side note, Why is this being uploaded now, nearly 2 years after it was made

[@dancinginfernal]

Joe The Pro why not

[@roboslug1914]

Rated M: Finally, the gritty pasta gaming experience I've been waiting for

[@lyingfawn]

Head to toe, that's my grandma!

[@MermaidMinto]

a true classic from the boys

[@eminempreg]

but am I the best pasta shaman?

[@Filip-pz7wu]

pasta shaman

[@nir7267]

am i being mindboggled by some mysterious source or isn't this just a reupload of the very very good animation of the very very great cool games podcast?

[@benblanchette6754]

Actually, I think a pasta-making VR game called grandma needs it al dente sounds really fun.

[@TLOEric]

Rated M for "Mild Lyrics"

[@biggles9700]

I remember this was the bit that properly sold me on the podcast, as high as my standards have been set on audio media thanks the MBMBAM + TAZ

[@Truncatedicosidodecahedron]

one of the most influential and forward thinking video games of the 21st century. Ill never forget my time with this pasta game.

[@fetterkeks2796]

Oh yes, and so it all began...

GrandmaLikesItAlDente:GrandmaNEEDSItAlDente

[@vargasprime094]

Woah, a True Cool Games Classic™

[@perro692]

this shit is not al dente grandson

[@trueaidooo]

1:00 I don't know why this reminded me so much of "I imagine birdseed would be an element in more or less every scene"

[@cass422]

do you sacrifice yourself to feed grandma?

[@scyence]

Where real gamers are born.

[@lolniceinreal]

Omg it's torahhorse, the creator of the sonic dreams collection ost

[@pinkgengar]

give it to her al dente

[@UdonBullets]

I can't believe it's taken so long for this to happen

[@TheCoryKid]

This was my favorite episode of CGI.

[@thefreelancequeen]

Derek only went downhill from Granda Wants It Al Dente: Grandma NEEDS it Al Dente

[@TurboNemesis]

i hear what you're saying, but c'mon. Cook For Cube? Tim McGraw's What If? Trucks: Fates??????

[@mothink5928]

My favourite thing about this video is all of the words you said, they were like butter and honey on a sponge, but if that was good and not just a broken sponge. Also, shit, Nick, sorry, off-topic, thank you for Thumper. I love it, so beautiful and intense, those corners...

[@swapado]

But... but all 3 of my grandmothers have passed away...

[@than217]

So the gameplay was spot on. The graphics were AMAZING. But the final Grandma Boss was just too needy. She was just uncompromising when it came to Al Dente.

[@LittleCrimsonMonster]

ahh it's The Classic

[@mirthoutofmire]

Yes, I've been waiting for so long

[@BrandNeutral]

I like saying GWIAD:GNIAD out loud

[@7563able]

The graphics are in 4k, but there's only one.

[@dapope3673]

BRING👏GRANDMA👏WANTS👏IT👏AL👏DENTE👏TO👏NINTENDO👏SWITCH👏

[@sleepjoy8221]

The guy who suggested this made Donut County

[@creampop8553]

The game's got good fluid physics. The way the water boils and rolls, the sauce physics... This is game changing graphics. And I haven't even spoken about the grain!

[@junobrooke9505]

I didn't realize that they didn't do this already

[@deimosphoibus]

I like all the variations of the title Griffin made up, so the full title could just be
"Grandma wants it Al Dente: Grandma likes it Al Dente (Grandma Needs it Al Dente Edition)"

[@poormankowry]

This is where it all begun

[@stationshelter]

This podcast is kinda different now

[@RockyTalks]

Dammit, now I'm hungry.

[@Khandrake]

cool games inc hates the Grandma-less

[@Trogdorbad]

I can't believe it took this long for the first episode to get on here

[@lukasaurusrex2901]

This would be a good toby fox game

[@themostoverpoweredanimecha2538]

The tags on this video are wonderful, especially without context.

[@prestonschmitt5356]

And this marks the beginning of an era

[@fakebrainclub]

8 minutes boiling, no more, no less!

[@duru_mii]

pretty sure I was cooking pasta or some type of noodles when I started listening to this podcast. cool games Inc changed my life from then on. some smart al dente boys here.

[@chigu-sairo]
