Jeff Gerstmann Heads to New York, Takes Questions

This was awesome. Love hearing Jeff talk about games and gaming like this, always entertaining and informative in a good balance.

I feel like I've heard Jeff discuss the dissolution of the 'B-tier developers like Midway' 100 times at this point. Still made for some good viewing all the same, though. Srs bsn Jeff I always find to be fascinating to listen to; he's very good at drawing you in and keeping your attention.

Great talk. Jeff never ceases to be fun to listen to. Thanks for making it available on the site.

Nice! I missed the first 10 minutes when I got there.

I was pretty surprised at the general not-terribleness of the questions in the Q&A part, haha

Is that Produced panel archived anywhere?

Patrick said something about an audio archive? Don't know if it'll go up on the site.

It's always really interesting to hear Jeff talk about this stuff. He has a lot of wisdom about the industry.

URN BREW? What the fuck?

Seriously though, speaking as a Scotchman, the secret of Irn Bru is not only is it not made from girders, it's also not that good of a drink.

That was a great interview. It's nice to hear Jeff commenting out loud on the things he does in a more formal environment.

This was way more interesting than I expected. Hope you do more if this stuff, Jeff.

Vinny packed an audio recorder for PAX, but he is on vacation and also may not have used it for his panel.

Looking forward to the future of Giant Bomb

A lot of interesting discussion came out of this. One of the many reasons I love this site.

Really enjoyed this.

You have a lot of that in larger cities/university towns. I live in Bloomington, IN, home to Indiana University, and I find myself going to all kinds of events that are out of my scope or knowledge or interest because I have the access to them. I may not always live here so I want to take advantage of the opportunities it provides.

Jeff's reasoning behind the rating system was interesting. I've always wonder the logic behind certain sites and their choice of review ratings.

I love it. Jeff seems like such a knowledge grown up in this. It's not that you forget that with the GB content, it's just different

Yeah, this was awesome. Jeff in Jar-Time mode is always interesting to listen too.

I love the rating argument he had with an old Gamespot boss: Well, he wanted 4-stars and I wanted 5-stars so we just went with the 19-point system... haha

God damn i love Jeff.

Great talk, good questions! Jeff can talk, thats for sure.

Man I love hearing Jeff solo on the mic. Great talk and great Q&A.

It was fun and I watched the whole thing, but I've literally heard Jeff answer every one of those questions multiple times before. That probably says something more about me... but eh.

@hassun: You tend to get more well thought-out questions in environments like this one. The people attending are there mostly for the learning experience (this was an educationally facilitated talk, presumably for students only without or with limited access to outside parties), so it makes sense that they'd want to ask questions that really count.

Really loved this video. Good job, Jeff!

Hell yes SJ Sharks hat in the audience!

Really happy to hear Jeff acknowledge the wiki and all, as you would otherwise suspect it was about ready to be put to pasture. However, I feel like Jeff has long aired his aspirations for the wiki and yet it's been stuck in the same state for so long now. I'd like to hope these new workings within the wiki will be implemented sooner rather than later; maybe when they at least finally hire these new staff members.

That was a really good talk, I'm kind of bummed I didn't go now.

Good questions!

Nice talk! I've heard Jeff answer most of this stuff before, but it's great to get a little bit more depth into some of it. And it was cool to see the really enthusiastic students getting into the whole thing. Really enjoyed this one.

That was a great talk!

always appreciate hearing Jeff's opinions and man did he drops some hints of possible great new things to come for the site.

good stuff!

awesome show!

It was cool getting to ask a question about PR and Marketing's relationship with critics. The whole talk was a nice, refreshing palette cleanser for the wrasslin' carnage about to ensue at PAX.

Jeff is so fucking cool. What an absolute legend in this industry. Rock on big Jeffrey!

Glad this made it on the site. Good talk, Jeff!

This was fantastic, thanks Jeff!

Great stuff. You're an awesome public speaker, Jeff! :)

2 hours of time I should've been sleeping well spent. Great questions and great answers from Jeff as always.

A perfect example of GiantBomb being half "frank inside baseball on the gaming industry" and half "insane bullshit".

That was great. Much more academic questions than most panels. Also, always nice to hear behind the scenes stories. /clap

That was great Jeff. What a season, what a season...

That was great Jeff. Thanks.

This is great. Hearing Jeff speak in a more serious manner is always interesting.

I love it when Jeff gets semi-serious and just talks business. It's often a refreshing and interesting insight into the world of someone that's been in the industry for a long time and has some perspective. It's also a good counterbalance to all the absolutely nutty things that go on in a PAX panel or an episode of the Bombcast. Awesome!

Great talk, that was cool. You said things I've heard you say in other places (Jar Time, podcast,etc.), but I liked it.

It's almost as if you were some kind of expert. Almost.

NIce, thanks for the upload Jeff.

Straight-ish Talk with Gerstmann Podcast

(Taking on the real shit, then laughing about it!)

good stuff, always great to hear the other sides we dont often get a chance to see of the crew and a healthy discussion

@dylanfill: Really cool dude, I live in Brooklyn and I would have definitely gone if I knew more in advance they were doing this.
