" @Ryan said:I don't want to unduly get anyone's hopes up, but I never would've seriously considered Mount & Blade or FIFA were it not for the repeated suggestions in this thread. Those are not going to be easy picks, but I can see the potential, at least.What are you feeling from the thread that is popping up all the time that you wouldn't of thought about?" Wow, thank you guys so much for your responses here. I'm curating a huge list of your suggestions, and while they definitely won't all make the cut, we should be pretty well-stocked with non-shooter options for some time to come.
Of course, we'll still dip into the occasional new release, though we've definitely got Europe in mind for those.Also, Splinter Cell kids! Quit splitting hairs and being bitchy and start playing nice, or no one will get to be Sam Fisher, a spy, or a merc!
"Wow...just read that back, don't post if you're slightly pissed it would seem, Um,What are you seeing in this thread that many people have come up with that you wouldn'tve thought many people would be into,Engrish!"

More than anything, though, we're coming to PAX East to interact with you, the glorious and kind Giant Bomb users who keep our egos fed, our bar stocked, and our lights on. So if you see us in the wild during PAX East, and we don't appear to be in the middle of Official Serious Video Games Business, please, feel free to walk right up to us and say hi! We'll be more than happy to shake hands, bump fists, take pictures, sign stuff, kiss babies, receive deep-tissue back massages, whatever!
If you'd rather not just leave it to random chance, though, we've got some scheduled activities as well. Mere hours after we touch down at Boston Logan International Airport this Thursday night, we'll be fairly-yet-harshly-and-also-probably-drunkenly judging the mock-rock performances at Harmonix's Rock Band Night at the Brattle Theater. I feel a bit like a jerk mentioning this at all, as this event is already totally sold out, but hey, if anyone asks, that's where we'll be.
And as if watching us fill time for an hour-plus in an oversized auditorium weren't incentive enough to come experience the Giant Bombcast Live!, we'll also be announcing the details of our Saturday Night Giant Bomb Meet-Up that night. We're taking over a to-be-revealed Boston bar for the evening, where, in addition to the regular Giant Bomb on-camera knuckleheads, you'll also have a chance to sip suds alongside Giant Bomb favorites like Dave "EnemyKite" Snider, Phil "Wafflestomp" Reno, Kat "TurboToaster" Smith, and Matthew "Make Yourself Useful And Go Get Me A Sandwich, Bodega" Kessler. (EDIT: Please note that this will be a 21+ function. Sorry youngsters!)
So! In summary:
- Thursday Night - Rock Band Night at the Brattle Theater (SOLD OUT!)
- Friday Night - Giant Bombcast Live! in the Manticore Theater at PAX East (also TOTALLY SOLD OUT!)
- Saturday Night - Giant Bomb Meet-Up (LOCATION TO BE REVEALED!)
Even if you won't be attending PAX East, we'll be documenting as much of our Bostonian shenanigans as possible for later consumption. Seriously, you guys, we could not be more excited for PAX East. PAX is one of our absolute favorite events of the year, and we cannot wait to see how the East Coast does it. We hope to see you there!
