Jeff Gerstmann Heads to New York, Takes Questions

Fantastic video. It was so nice to see Jeff answering questions earnestly in a semi-formal environment. I love the way he generally composes himself, but sometimes his casually jaded demeanor can make it difficult to gleam genuine information and opinions from his responses. For people interested in video games and the industry, this might be the most informative videos I've ever seen. Well done!

Woooh. Great talk. I sometimes do feel like I could quit my current studies and try and make an indie game but the iteration and slaving away on it is just not appealing. But more power to those that do make games. You men and women are most admired.

Just got to the bit about the Transistor footage and God damn, @jeff, I don't care if you have to get Patrick back in the hot dog suit workin' the late night streets of Shytown for tha scrilla, get Vinny and Drew all the time and support they need to make a mini-series out of that!

Really great watch. I love the Bombcast and the live shows but I also love seeing Jeff talk "out of character" as it were. Smart duder he is. I hope I get a chance to meet and chat with him some day. Thanks for posting it!

@supermacguyver: I think the difference is that the people in attendance were asking questions out of genuine interest and not to get a rise out of the community.

@dylanfill: Cool. Super jealous

It is definitely pronounced "Iron Brew" Not, "Urn Brew"

This is great. I can listen to Jeff talk about games all day.

That was great! Awesome insight and good conversation about games and also hearing more about the potential Giant Bomb has to grow gets me excited. Great job Jeff!

Awesome, much better crowd than the typical PAX panel especially the questions. Professor Gerstmann???

I wonder if there are any places like this NYU Game Center out in Southern California. The events they mentioned in the beginning sound super interesting.

Awesome talk, a lot of cool and interesting things were talked about.

I really enjoyed that talk and the Q&A was was actually tolerable!

Lots of intelligent questions being asked and equally intelligent answers from Jeff. Reminds me why I love that duder. Good stuff.

man, fantastic talk....thats all i can say. fan fucking tastic.

That was great! II'd love to see more of these types of Q and As on the site.

@jamessmarion: Just wanted to thank you for hosting this talk! I wasn't at the event, but having finally watched the archive, I appreciate that yourself and the attendees were largely big fans of Jeff and Giant Bomb's work, but everyone involved was able to have a cogent, interesting discussion about games without fanboying out. It was really refreshing in contrast to the really embarrassing Q&A sections after most Giant Bomb PAX panels.

Nailed it.
