Giant Bomb Thread #4: A thread of perceived slights

Not open for further replies.
One of these days I'll finally understand who the hell Dave Lang is and why everyone is on his nuts.

I still have no idea who he is, nor do I recall hearing or seeing him in Giant Bomb content before that one pax panel where he suddenly popped up and they made a bunch of in-jokes.
 
So I have finally gotten around to watching the Persona 4 ER lately. I'm just curious, is it actually possible to max out all the social links or do you have to pick and choose who you get due to the limited number of days available?

Them playing games while talking over the stream in the background. That's how these things usually go.
 
Can't wait for the reaction livestream.

I have a feeling it's going to be theatrics from them. They know most of this stuff through their connections in the industry and have hinted at that from time to time. If anything, they're just going to get confirmation on most of this stuff.

Basically, i don't expect to be entertained but will be incredibly angry if im not entertained.

What a weird and out of left field assumption. They don't know shit.
 
I predict Brad, Patrick and Vinny will be happy with what was shown if maybe let down slightly at the number of games. Ryan will shit on everything that isnt Adam Boyes, Hormonix or Double Fine on stage.

I really don't think they know much at all about what's going to be announced at this event. What they know is probably everything they've said on the Bombcast until now.

I think Patrick will be far more pessimistic/dismissive. Brad will likely be in a twitter haze for the most part, barely interested.

Ryan and Vinny should bring a good energy throughout.

Its pretty obvious from yesterday's podcast that they have no idea what to expect. Jeff might know a bit more, but Ryan, Vinny, and Brad know next to nothing they really are going into it as blind as we are.
 
Nah, I was pretty pumped when he liked my Brad DmC gif on there, haha

John Drake's eyes are terrifying in that picture. He looks like an anime person.
John Drake, Ugu~~

Brad is going to lose his shit when they announce the iOS companion app.
Hahahaha, I can't wait to see/hear that. I really hope that happens.
 
Yeah, I'm hoping they ease back slightly on the snark and jokes today. I mean, we finally have the new generation of consoles, it's okay to be a little bit excited.
 
So – will I need to run two streams, bombcast commentary + sony stream, or just the bombcast? how are they handling that, does anyone know?

Yeah Patrick shit on the PS3 for not changing its interface while praising the 360. Which is hilarious considering how poor the 360's interface is from where it started!

this press conference will be like any other PR event, thus it deserves to be ripped apart and mocked if appropriate [ and I am 100% sure it will be].

At least Jeff corrected him talking about how the important things have been changed (PSstore and all that) which is fine now.
 
Remember, Big Jeffrey will be on the GT Pre-show in 30 minutes. Kind of odd that he's competing for eyeballs with GB.

No. They gave MAXIMUM SNARK to Wii U and deservedly so. I expect no less for Sony and Microsoft, if warranted.

I'm sure you all caught it in the other thread, but Jeff is apparently hanging with the Sess.

Lol, Nintendo deserved every little bit of that snark. Wether Sony fucks up like that as well remains to be seen.
 
Jeff is easily the most entertaining person on the set right now. Geoff and Stephen are so held back and Jeff is outgoing as hell so it's quite awesome to watch.
