jeff said he felt it was important enough to go see this game from Bungie.
He never expected that they wouldn't let him actually see the game.

This may be a bit off-topic but I just rewatched Beverly Hills Cop for the first time in ages and suddenly everything about Jeff and his outlook on life makes more sense.

Dave just posted some info about the free subscription extension and the login issues people are having. Once again showing that everyone at Giant Bomb is the best. http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/hurricane-seaserpent/1100-4575/
The only thing I remember from Beverly Hills Cop is the gun with a microwave in it.
He sounded very disappointed himself. That is really not something you would expect as press invited to a game unveiling.

Yeah, I'd be pretty bummed if I went up to Seattle to see Bungie's next new thing only to see concept art and listen to music.
Yeah, and that guy. He went on to star in 'Perfect Strangers' and starred as The Beaver in 'Kung Fu and Titties.'
Serge!
Bungie just comes off as incredibly pretentious. I almost hope the game flops just so they get knocked down a peg or two. Yeah you guys made Halo, but you haven't made a good game in years. I'm interested to see what it's like, but this marketing is fucking terrible and I don't have high hopes for it.
Sayrjjjjjjjhe, not SURGE
What do you expect them to be like? They want interest to peak and their game to sell, acting all coy and reserved doesn't exactly do wonders for your marketing push. Why do people take marketing so personally?

I want Sony's event to be similar ego massaging from Kaz, talking about the console but only showing "concept" images, and then says goodbye thanks for coming etc etc.
Then when everyone has decided he wasn't joking and people start filing out, Tretton runs in and shouts "JUST KIDDING YOU GUYS" and rolls in the Last Guardian demos on real PS4 units.

That's exactly what they did with EA's Crysis 3 PR event. They declined because they didn't want to "jump through a bunch of Metacritic-focused hoops" (actual quote from Jeff's tumblr) and didn't get an early Crysis 3 copy as a result.

I would throw up from excitement.
I'd prefer it if only your first sentence happened.
The reactions and outrage would be way better than actually knowing about the console.

It'll only be an overview. Maybe a few games. They do still have a half dozen events between now and launch.
Sure. That too.
I expect to see 3 games. Killzone 4, whatever Evolution is working on and another one I can't talk about.

I find the idea of someone using their event as a means to tell Bungie to go fuck themselves really appealing, though. :lol
Yes.
Well he can't play with his collar bone being broken. I guess the "we" implies that he will need some help.
People have gotten in after sending an email to the email provided. Apparently Dave and co. are on it.

In Patrick's state, he might need someone to help him ENDURE the game....
and, it has voice acting, so the lack of reading ability won't hurt it this time! Huzzah!

Should have went with Unchained Melody.
Yes.
STEAM!?!?!?!??!?!

is the audio dropping and clicking for other people? is it on the video itself or due to connection stuff on my end?

His end. Happened to me too.
Destiny would probably have been a lot cooler if it wasn't 75% the same information that has been leaking for years now. The only new stuff felt like the specific stuff that they might as well change before launch.

I give to you, Ryan Davis picking up a cup.
Ugh. I can't see the humor in this.

I can't see the anything in this. He's trying to get a cup out of a thing of cups, but also has to hold the dog. Am I missing something.
Yeah, its no biggie.

You know plenty of games you can buy through steam have zero drm whatsoever right? And that's including steam. It's up to the holder if they want you to be able to run it without steam on. Almost every game that has used the gog exe and later came to steam just downloads the same files that doesn't even need steam running.

I dunno why someone would even make a .gif or want to illustrate such a thing. It is of zero interest to anyone. Or at least it should be.
That sounds like it would be a great podcast.
