@Darksaw: You can always go watch the video on justin.tv. The audio is pretty choppy, though. They were having bandwidth issues.

It should be, remember the twitch stuff has a lot of dead air on it.

Posted by Tokyo_Jesus - June 05, 2012 at 9:30 AM

@Undeadpool: The video went down I'm assuming

Hooray!

It's there between 1:37-1:48

When an analyst is craving for new IP you know that things have been stale for a while.

Yeah Brad stop dicking around on forums during the bombcast :P

Ah! In that context, I took it to mean "It's going down" IE: something is occurring.

it's Tuueessdaayy!!

Posted by YoungBuck - June 05, 2012 at 10:15 AM

Start earlier.

God, Alex, just gahhhhH!!!!!!!

Posted by GioVANNI - June 05, 2012 at 10:52 AM

Could have sworn this was way longer live. I must have been just shit tired.

Posted by ZombieSpace - June 05, 2012 at 10:59 AM

awesome!

Posted by Javes - June 05, 2012 at 11:02 AM

What's the fascination with NeoGaf among Giant Bomb folks? From my time spent there it feels like it's only populated by spergy 15 year old fanboys.

Edited by Nert - June 05, 2012 at 11:21 AM

@Javes: You probably don't spend much time reading NeoGAF, then. At least among video game discussion boards, it's a pretty reasonable place (with strict moderation helping to clear up the worst of it).

Edit: Beyond the quality of posts on NeoGAF (which I suppose is subjective, but I spend a lot of time there), the website is brought up a lot because it's highly trafficked, many news stories break there, and many members of the games industry have accounts there.

An other Pachter prediction... we will see if he is capable of being right.

Posted by WVUEers - June 05, 2012 at 11:25 AM

It's really odd how in audio this comes across really well, but watching it live it kind of seems awkward, at time cringe worthy, and sometimes a cluster fuck. Weeeeiiiiiirrrrrd.

Posted by depecheload - June 05, 2012 at 11:28 AM

Love how Pachter injects some subtle sexism into his commentary. Hey dude, young men who aren't into games, dads and grandpas bought the Wii too yknow.

Posted by ludorverr - June 05, 2012 at 11:28 AM

sucks they didn't talk about shootmania. with brad basically saying "let's not talk about shootmania".

even if the game is no good I'd still like to hear some words on it.

Posted by Terranova - June 05, 2012 at 11:30 AM

based on the Nintendo press conference today Pachter was right about them.

Edited by falling_fast - June 05, 2012 at 11:30 AM

I still say the treyarch ones are shit

*shrugs*

Posted by Milkman - June 05, 2012 at 11:40 AM

Pachter haters can eat a bag of dicks.

Posted by leebmx - June 05, 2012 at 11:43 AM

Anyone else able to find this on Itunes yet?

Posted by LooseChange - June 05, 2012 at 11:45 AM

Whats a Tobuscus?

Posted by Fungiefips - June 05, 2012 at 11:56 AM

God, could Pachter whine more about internet trolls? Was he drunk?

Posted by triviaman09 - June 05, 2012 at 11:59 AM

Pachter needs to stop reading NeoGAF. Hell everybody needs to stop reading NeoGAF.

Posted by Dallas_Raines - June 05, 2012 at 11:59 AM

@Fungiefips:

Yes.

Posted by CrossTheAtlantic - June 05, 2012 at 12:06 PM

I had never heard Pachter speak before. Huh. Does he always sound so tired?

Edited by Phished0ne - June 05, 2012 at 12:07 PM

YO GUYS, UNFINISHED SWAN!

Also: shoutouts to Jeff Green's Grateful Dead tape collection.

I actaully think it looked good. A modern spin on the old PC shooters. That whole eSport part wasn't good. But that game is ahrd to show off.

Posted by Chop - June 05, 2012 at 12:12 PM

Gonna be honest, I found this one to be kinda boring. Everyone seemed completely beat and less than enthused to be there (sans Muir, of course).

Posted by Daiphyer - June 05, 2012 at 12:17 PM

Pachter says alot of bullshit but he is a very humble dude. I like him a lot.

In conclusion: Fuck NeoGAF.

Posted by MeatSim - June 05, 2012 at 12:23 PM

Pachter, Jeff green, and Brad Muir is gonna be a tough guest lineup to top.

Posted by WVUEers - June 05, 2012 at 12:23 PM

Pachter is so right. If you disregard Asia the market for MMO's isn't extremely large, certainly not large enough to bank off of monthly subscription fee's. You have these games competing over a market that it's in all likelihood a one game a person market. With ordinary games the market is deep because consumers return for more, I just don't see many gamers willing to have multiple subscriptions, they'll likely choose "their game" and be done with it. That's such a shallow market. Not to mention this whole MMO bubble is essentially built on a bubble one game built. We're not entirely sure WoW wasn't just a phenomenon that hit in a special time and place, MMO's as a whole may be a genre that was limited to a certain time and a certain market that has since passed.

Posted by ez123 - June 05, 2012 at 12:29 PM

Man, Pachter is obsessed. It was really funny when Alex said "You have GOT to stop doing that" after Pachter mentioned neogaf for the 100th time.

Muir is the best, he could just be one of the crew. Jeff Green was great as well.

Posted by DarkShaper - June 05, 2012 at 1:08 PM

Feels weird listening to this while playing SWTOR

Absolutely. Typical Polish last name.

haha, sometimes i imagine pacther as a senile old man

Edited by GunslingerPanda - June 05, 2012 at 3:44 PM

Alex Navarro and Brad Muir?

:(

I fucking take that back, Muir's being awesome today.

Boats are the helicopters of Assassin's Creed.

Posted by seanconnery13 - June 05, 2012 at 4:12 PM

Pachter was getting annoying there. His whole thing on Watch Dogs was quite pretentious and then he was talking about the implausability of the smart phone. ITS A GAME, it could happen in a game. I've seen far more insane premises then that.
