PAX Prime 2012: The Giant Bomb Panel
Damn, the guys were on form, especially Jeff and Patrick. Q&A was pretty much meme free this time too. Great panel.
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.

Jeff is a funny motherfucker.
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.
@B0nd07 said:
Oh shit! They got Invisible Obama to open for "Dave Lang"!
[Edit] And Jeff is amazing in this one!
Obama? Wasn't that meme from the legitimate rape guy from Piers Morgan Tonight?

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.
People say that after every ER.@Bourbon_Warrior said:

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!

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?
Perhaps I didn't get it either but I still laughed my ass off. It was just completely ridiculous and they were so into it - if it referenced anything, I don't know.

Clint Eastwood pretended to talk to an invisible Obama at the Republican Convention, and looked completely insane.
I'm from England and even I knew that, you guys must not watch the news.

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.

Good job generalizing there.

@Bourbon_Warrior: I think he means the empty chair that Clint Eastwood was talking to during the RNC that was supposed to be Obama. Here.
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...
