Phil Harrison might be the most boring person I've ever seen on a press conference stage.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

wow, this I had forgotten.

at some point, i had a 20 gig in my room and a 60 gig in the living room so i was quite familiar with their ups and downs : P

Take a bath next to the train tracks

I don't think I've ever even been by the train tracks. Didn't know there was a bath there.

I'm focusing on hops and corn for the summer.

because it was a lot more fun to mock the asshats who thought that a $600 console in 2006 was acceptable than the third party who is just presenting their crappy little thing on stage.

 

[Felix Lighter]

never mind. Kind of randomly off topic.

Console wars.

i guess but the ridge racer line that got big didnt have anything to do with that, it was just a goofy moment

Every game that comes up on Game Tapes Jeff says "Yeah I had no interest in this at all"

He seemed pretty stoked about Afrika

Every game that comes up on Game Tapes Jeff says "Yeah I had no interest in this at all"

and I say, "Yep! Me neither Jeff!"

 

[funkystudent]

So I guess every Gran Turismo presentation was always awkwardly long.

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

Did you have like four jobs?

naw, tax refunds on two separate years. The 20 gig was much after launch, like 2-3 years, and i really just wanted a blu ray player in my bedroom so it was a no brainer at the time

edit: oh yeah, the ff13 trailer also looked pretty dope. and then ms snatched that

did someone get sent to a person's house to cut their power? if not, then it's not real drama

i dont think ive ever seen this over the top warhawk sixaxis stuff before

Game Tapes is great but I still prefer Demo Derby.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Man, fuck Bookman in Layers of Fear QL.

holy shit it's almost been 10 years since assassin's creed started getting shown?

feels like its really missing Dan. Drew and Brad dont seem to be contributing much to it

yeah, Gears will be 10 years old this year, too

we're getting old

Coincidentally I've been going through all the 'GB talks over ___ conference' videos lately and had just rewatched all of them when this showed up. Love that stuff. I think game press conferences are some sort of catnip pleasure to me, and even better with the commentary track. Hopefully some years on they will have done Game Tapes on all the e3 conferences they've got in the archive.

The fact that Devil's Third of all things was able to kick this off is so bizarre.

Unlike Project B.E.A.S.T., I can easily watch the talking-over-press-conference videos and not get bored. Trying to watch the former without skipping has been painful for me recently.

 

[broncobuster]

Game Tapes and Demo Derby are fighting for the top best coolest ultimate Giantbomb feature.

 

[Mister Negative]

i remember reading the Game Informer cover stories about those games like it was yesterday

the face buttons in assassin's creed corresponded to your head, legs, and arms! what a novel concept!

 

[daydream]

they really should just lock in demo derby on even, game tapes on odd weeks

also, i think a healthy mix of b-roll and press conferences is the way to go

 

[kvk1]

i just saw a video of that one wrestler guy play the FF victory fanfare on a trombone

live on TV

so yeah, that dude is ALRIGHT

Xavier Woods is the best.

Agreed, it's some of the best content on the site and I imagine there's enough tapes and demo discs in the backlog to sustain that schedule.

 

[wenis]

yea since BLLSL, we're almost due for another one

 

[Lijik]

I thought Drew added a lot of context for things during the b-roll episode, although Id love Dan on any future press conference eps

Yep the Project BEAST episodes each have about 5 - 10 minutes of good stuff. I powered through them while having them on at work in the corner while doing other stuff.

That's nothing new but it's really crazy how Sony unveiling the PS3 really sounds like Microsoft unveiling the Xbox 1... Same kind of weird and arrogant confidence.

 

[oti]

Game Tapes is great but WHERE IS MARIO PARTY PARTY GOD DAMNIT.

I feel you.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I was going to make some comment about Brad needing a hat but then I remembered he has that Quake hat...

That's nothing new but it's really crazy how Sony unveiling the PS3 really sounds like Microsoft unveiling the Xbox 1... Same kind of weird and arrogant confidence.

The thing that always struck me as weird about that was that Microsoft didn't even dominate the last gen but they still decided to make similar mistakes.

 

[MassiveNights]

It's a shame the PSVR keynote is too late for the Bombcast. I wonder if they will record a special podcast, I assume one of them will be at it.

They completely swapped roles between generations.

It wasn't weird for Sony to be confident in 2006. They dominated the previous generation.
