Hey, I'll probably most this more prominently in a little bit, but figured I'd post it on the boards first. I'm going to be talking in New York on 4/9 (that's right before PAX East).

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/giant-bombs-jeff-gerstmann-tickets-11071022727

Isn't there some forum rule against posting self promotion or something? Flagged!

edit: can't flag staff? Did we not fight the revolutionary war to free ourselves from tyranny such as this?!

How can people who don't live in NYC #followtheconversation on this? Will there be any video?

@pyromagnestir: I WILL FIGHT YOU MAN

THE MOST EXTREME

Is this event only for premium members? We don't want any normies stumbling in and stinking up the place, right?

@jeff: Nuh-uh! Let's settle this like real men, with a one on one Dota 2 match!

Coming the next month! The PPV you've all been waiting for!!

@jeff takes on @pyromagnestir at the Hammerstein Ballroom! Home to many LEGENDARY ECW events!

Also on the card Vinny takes on Brad for the GBWF Deepest Voice Championship Title.

Tickets on sale now! Also available online for only 39.95!!!

I'm backing @pyromagnestir, with my battle music and Katawa Shoujo images.

In other news, NYU has a Game Center now. This vidja gaems thing is getting too mainstream. Time to bail out.

Ah Jeff, forever mosting. Ever since that fateful day in the cabin...

Jeff Gerstmann? Is he one of those press sneak fucks?

Cool, rare that I see events for NYC, and I can't make it to pax so I'll show up to this.

Will Vinny be there?

Wow, this is rad. Have you ever given a talk like this before? It seems a little out of character, not that that's a bad thing.

and why Windjammers is the future of e-sports

Pshhh... I've never even heard of this "Jeff Burstman" or whatever his name is! Is he a friend of beloved Giant Bomb mainstay Matt Kessler or something?

Ooooooo NYU, nice! i wish i could go!

I'll be there.

Oh, are you perhaps THE Jeff Gerstmann, one half of Midnight Brown???

one of dem social justice warriors i reckon

I live in NY and April 9th is my birthday. Weird.

Sold out? That was fast.

EDIT: Not that I could've gone (this whole Atlantic Ocean thing is a big bother), but still... Any word of a streaming option / will this be archived?

EDIT2: Judging by their lecture sub-section, all of the lectures will be archived. Cool.

Sold out? Jeff, can I be your roadie?

That's not Jeff Gerstmann, I'M Jeff Gerstmann!

We all know the real reason Jeff is going to be in New York is to announce a new Def Jam game.

Wait, is this the start of a stand-up comedy tour?

Jeff, I hope you will be wearing a mortar-board cap, collegiate Oxford gown, and a pair of those fancy arm-less 'pince nez glasses'...maybe a cape too.

@gaff: Sweet!

Will this be saved in audio or video format for us non-US people? If not, @jeff could you just livestream it secretly from the stage on your phone perhaps?

Dammit, Jeff! Why couldn't you do this on a weekend? Screw you and your agenda, Gerstmann!

Will this be live streamed or just for those who can make it?

Will it be recorded?

@jeff: Is there any chance you could use this opportunity to bring Brad Muir's old ska band together for a reunion show? On another note, you sold out in less than an hour and a half. Soon you won't even be able to take the subway without getting recognized, is this truly what you want from your life? Paparazzi following you around, taking pictures of you taking upskirt pictures of girls who look like Hatsune Miku.

@pyromagnestir: There really should be an option to flag staff. Doing so should just secretly bounce the flag back at yourself, warning them of who the real trouble-makers are. That way you could go down as a martyr for our cause. No classism on Giant Bomb!

Hey, this is a few blocks from my apartment. I'll be there! I'm guessing Alex will be there too.

@do_the_manta_ray:

I always knew I was meant for such a fate.

THE MOST DANGEROUS LECTURE

Hey I'll be there! I'll be coming in from Jersey so should be about an hour drive or so.

Jeff Gerstmann sold out....

... The NYU Game Center

@jeff, is there any chance you will be selling scalped tickets outside of your own show?

Tickets sold out?! What the hell! There goes my chances of meeting the great Jeff Greenman.

Can I carry your luggage??

Shit, no more tickets? That's sad, I would have taken the train in from LI to go!

Jeff should really go to Boston and do some sort of panel at a gathering of video gamers. Maybe play some Royal Rumble on the N64 or something fucking weird.

Some one bring a camera to record this. Even if we gotta pirate it we need to see it.

Managed to grab a ticket just in time. Really looking forward to this!

Does this mean you're gonna be borrowing one of Johnny V's suits again?

Wear the most fancy attire

it will be recorded by the event organizers!

Sold out....its just as well. I went through enough BS (still am) buying PAX badges for the wrong day, then trying to sell them off to acquire some for the right day just to see the GB panel. I wouldn't want to be Gerstmanned-out by then. I want that moment to be special.
