I went wild on the Street Passes, by Sunday morning I was at over 500 passes and had all panels completed and the started Find Mii 2, which I didn't know even existed. The 10 person limit thing sucks but there was plenty of time to kill while waiting for panels or demos.

Had a great time at the GB panel, I was supposed to have the last question at the Q&A but knew it wasn't good enough to go out on so I let someone else go, haha. Kitty O'Sheas meetup afterward was really fun too afterward even though it ran short due to the panel going late and having to change locations due to the original bar being at capacity. Good talk with Jeff, he was very honest and open about the merger, and I'm always down for some deep Skylanders discussions.

PAX East 2012: Giant Bomb Panel

Nice to see the video already up.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

nice!

WTF, why did they boo Alex?

Edit: Is Jeff using a Flip video? Is it 2007?

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

WTF, why did they boo Alex?

The answer is in the question.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Didn't sound like a boo to me?

 

[derFeef]

The answer is in the question.

What in the name...
my god.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Haha, holy shit at Jeff's Magic trick.

This is a bad night for trying to get to sleep.
Glad they got video sorted out, looks nicer than the pax prime archive.

Nervous Brad is totally moe.

 

[Brewster's Wallet]

Yes, but it sounded like it wouldn't be posted for probably a couple weeks.

Or not

Fantastic!!

 

[Brewster's Wallet]

I don't hear any booing at all. And rightly so

 

[Jintor]

The return of Creeper Jeff!

Nervous Brad is totally moe.

Time to moeify GiantBomb

 

[elektrixx]

Is it just me or is downloading from GB really slow at the moment? I'm getting around 50kb/sec.

 

[Jintor]

My god, Jeff is such a great comedian.

/edit scratch that. Jeff is an amazing magician

 

[Mahonay]

Just getting back into the swing of things after getting back from PAX East.

JESUS FUCK. I can confirm the absolute shit show that Rock Band Night was. I say that in the best way possible. In Brad's defense, he was insanely hammered during that performance. That song had even been performed already but at that point I don't think he was with us anymore.

RIP Brad Shoemaker.

In other Giant Bomb PAX East shenanigans;
At the Giant Bomb meet up at JJ Foley's thanks to Patrick Klepek and friends there was a jukebox trolling. They played the Star Wars cantina song and I'm pretty sure it was on repeat. Now keep in mind this is a fairly towny bar that had patrons there that night. They had no idea what the fuck was going on. Some lady figured out it was us (surprise, it was the nerds). We proceeded to dance in a circle like complete jackasses as it played until the bar owners made an emergency song switch to Bon Jovi. Tears rolling down my face from laughter.

Also the fuck Boston? Your bars closing at 2 is bullshit.

 

[slaughterking]

That one guy really liked Patrick.

 

[Doomshine]

Q&A started disappointingly early, but good show nonetheless.

 

[Messofanego]

The panel will go up, but I hate to tell you guys, it sounded like it'll be at least a week, if not longer, before you guys can see it.

YOU LIED!

XD

 

[Red UFO]

Shy brad is so adorable

 

[Patryn]

YOU LIED!

XD

I am super fucking shocked. Everything they said indicated that it would be a long while before it would go up.

Hell, watch the panel: "You guys are getting a long lead on this panel. We'll put it up eventually."

 

[Keyser Soze]

I guess Drew crunched before vacation to get this up. Well done to him!

Also, that Twit thing sounds awful. I look at Twit for one show (iPad today, as it is good content that is not really available elsewhere). Leo seems like a decent guy from my small experience from viewing that- pity he might have jumped the gun on though.

I never did look at Game On much though - overly produced video is not my kind thing. However, it is sad to hear something got cut because of what seems like a nonsense complaint.

I wonder would GB play Cards Against Humanity live now that they are under CBSi, as one complaint to higher ups might screw them?

 

[JimmyBoy]

So much street passing, so little time. The panel was hilarious just like last year and luckily the Questions from the audience didn't totally suck!

Unfortunately, Alex needs to learn how to gell better with the rest of the group and stop laughing incredibly loudly into the microphone.

 

[Scarecrow]

Does this count as this weeks Bombcast or are they going to record one?

 

[Curufinwe]

I don't think Alex is going to learn. He's already known most of those guys for almost a decade.

 

[Keyser Soze]

There will be a Bombcast. Jeff said he will talk about his Rome travels on there - as it is under embargo til Tuesday

PAX East 2012: Giant Bomb Panel

Nice to see the video already up.

They become such try-hards when they do these panels.

So many awkward forced jokes. :\

 

[Antiwhippy]

I find that's just ryan trying to be more hosty than usual. Which is fine because he has to host for like a hundred more people.

 

[kai3345]

Jesus Christ, Alex is obnoxious

 

[No_Style]

I rather have many random bite sized PAX show floor videos than the PAX panel one. It's so much more natural.

 

[gunstarhero]

Jesus Christ, Alex is obnoxious

 

[killer_clank]

This panel seems really awkward and full of forced jokes, even more so than in previous years. =/

 

[Patryn]

Try 800. That's the room capacity, I believe.

This panel seems really awkward and full of forced jokes, even more so than in previous years. =/

I know it's the cliche and stupid thing to say, but I feel like the panels are one of those things that you have to have been there for. There's a lot to say about the atmosphere of seeing it live.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Probably because they don't prepare anything.

It's kind of a waste of everyone's time if they don't even have the decency to prepare something before hand. May as well just not even do the panel.

 

[killer_clank]

I know it's the cliche and stupid thing to say, but I feel like the panels are one of those things that you have to have been there for. There's a lot to say about the atmosphere of seeing it live.

Yeah, I can definitely see that.

 

[Red UFO]

I guess the awkward, forced jokes come from the fact that they basically wanna make a podcast infront of people, but you have to acknowledge the audience since it IS a panel after all, leading to bad jokes.

I am articulating myself poorly.

Hi buddy! I was the guy you let have the last question! (the black guy with the spiderman shirt and black coat). I love gaffers!

I am watching you right now! INTERNET

 

[darkressurection]

Yeah, after having gone to the Prime panel last year I definitely think it is a situation where you "have to be there". It really doesn't translate to video all that well.

 

[Doomshine]

Eh, I've watched them all in video form and enjoyed them. The only part I dislike is the Q&A section.

 

[chickdigger802]

Yeah I like Alex's writing more than his voice.

But w/e's.

 

[chiablo]

Could this possibly be the first panel that doesn't have horrible sound problems?

And Ska needs to stay dead... Just let it rot.

 

[Typographenia]

Oh snap, I was not expecting it up so soon. Time to go watch/listen!

And Ska needs to stay dead... Just let it rot.

YOU WANT TO START SOMETHING?! I'LL TAKE THIS OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW!

 

[Backfoggen]

Yeah I don't like the forced nature of this and the last panel. Jeff was still pretty funny though.

 

[Antiwhippy]

And Ska needs to stay dead... Just let it rot.

Them fighting words.

Though to be honest only Streetlight manifesto and the RX bandits were great. Every other Ska band were average at best.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

The people who asks questions at these things are terrible.

"...and my name tag says 'HELLO' I want to be the guy."

Fuck off.

 

[kai3345]

Superman really had a hardon for klepek

 

[chiablo]

The people who asks questions at these things are terrible.

...and amazing

 

[Zonar]

I am watching you right now! INTERNET

lol. I really thought we would get some juicy podcast gossip. oh well at least i got to ask where the after party was (even though their end up being two we went to the second one)

 

[daycru]

Ska is great.

Alex is quite bad.
