    Never heard of Torque, but I really like Ice Cube (who doesn't...) so I'll check it.

    Damn, the guys were on form, especially Jeff and Patrick. Q&A was pretty much meme free this time too. Great panel.

    Don't run this one into the ground, fellow forum folk. Appreciate it, reference it sparingly, design a couple of shirts around it, but this is too good to be milked dry.

    Gonna be totally honest and say I genuinely don't get the president t-rex joke. Dunno whether being outside of the US has anything to do with it, but yeah, can someone help me out?

    This was absolutely hilarious! Better than any straight-up comedy show. I laughed manically on several occasions, so i'm really glad i've been home alone this past hour. All the guys were on top form - it was definitely the best panel they've ever done!

    If Giant Bomb ever had a panel in the UK, i would be there in a heartbeat.

    Right, so I'm at a turning point. Let's see which dumb question is gonna get me to stop watching the video out of disgust. My money's on the inevitable Endurance Run question.

    Was expecting a ER reveal since thats where they said they would have another last year, was hoping someone would ask.

    I think Endurance Runs are well and truely over. It's sad, because I think something like a Dark Souls ER would have been amazing content for GB.

    I would be happy if they stopped taking questions, It seems most the people go up there just because they feel like it, not because they have a good question to ask.

    I wondered where this would go with all the talk about the more improvisational nature of this year's panel but it ended up being absolutely wonderful. Excellent mix of content and jokes - I actually don't recall earlier episodes being this amusing but excitement about the new shit might of course figure into it.

    I'm also loving the 'Cards...' plan and can't wait for that content to happen!

    Clint Eastwood pretended to talk to an invisible Obama at the Republican Convention, and looked completely insane.

    Jeff was referencing a "speech" that actor/director Clint Eastwood gave at the Republican National Convention (its like PAX but for generally rich, white, and sometimes racist people who call themselves a political party). Eastwood spent over 10 minutes talking to an empty chair with an imaginary Barack Obama. That's why Jeff made to joke about the TRex Presidente and looked to the empty chair. And then Ryan talked about how topical it was. And then I wrote this comment essplaining it all.

    And then I'm reiterating that Ryan gave that explanation of the joke on the panel thus making it even better and more topical.

    Love the dude that gets a donut and tries to high-five the donut guy but can't high-five him since he's holding the box in one hand and a donut in the other. So... he tries to touch donuts.

    And just like that I lost all respect for Eastwood, is he getting senile or is that the most awkward political stunt I have ever seen? The funny thing is Obama is a excellent debater and would of destroyed all those questions, I bet Eastwood is the kind of republican that blames the economy on Obama and says capturing Osama was all thanks to Bush...
