E3 2014: Giant Bomb Live! Day 00

And so...it begins!

Wow. Didn't think this would go up so fast. Thanks from Europe!

Download button doesn't work

Who's the guy in the blue shirt? Has some interesting things to say but damn I'm not watching the "Scoopin' With Shaggy" show, let someone else talk.

edit: How 'Last Supper' is this setup they've got going?

Cant download it? :(

Yeah the download button is malformed.

They are using the technology they use to stream to display archives. These aren't regular archives (look at the quality options, the fact it has no run time), so yes, the download button doesn't work guys.

CM PUNK!

CM PUNK!!

Bugger. Can't use the download button.

Has anyone heard whether these are going to be put in podcast form?

Beautiful, E3 has truly begun.

Is it supposed to be only 45 minutes?

I damn well hope so, though things they used to make into podcasts (like the PAX Panel) they haven't lately which is a shame as the main 'free' time I have is in my 50 minute drive to work (And obviously back)

Hope Alex feels better! Kudos to the GB crew for all their hard work =) Thanks guys

The downloads are weird at the moment. I was trying to watch the archives via the GB video app and it wouldn't work. Streaming is fine though.

Is this video running like shit for anyone else? My connection is good enough to stream 2 feeds, but this vid keeps hitching every few seconds. Switching it to SD doesn't help.

I'm with Roman Reigns.

Yeh I hope these go up as podcasts soon. I don't have time to sit down and watch them all as videos but they were always great for commutes etc

wheres some hiroko in this! it needs!

@existence: Just watched the whole thing HD. Video ran fine.

Yes. They went on very late after the press conferences. Since they still have about 50 guests to go I'm guessing the next three late night shows will be 3 hours+.

Wow, crazy fast archive uploads. Thanks!

Since I guess this is the stream stuff, it's not working on mobile at all, and the Twitch archive won't work on mobile either. So I guess there's no way to get this stuff on a phone? Let's hope they put this in the podcast feed!

Video doesn't play and doesn't download. Same with the EA conference. Any chance you are going to make this available in mp3 format?

Are you going to do audio versions like you've done in the past?

Hi @rorie, are there any plans to have these E3 videos available for download? That's the only way I watch GB videos now, so it's kind of scuppered me not having any of these available to download.

This was good fun. I didn't realise until near the end that Scoops and Pope had matching shirts on. Also those cardboard cutout standees are fantastic.

They'll upload the videos as normal soon I bet. This is just a way to get the videos up faster. Also, Jeff said that they would upload videos in addition to podcasts of these late night shows, so I bet we'll get podcasts too!

Awesome that it's already up on the site. Looking forward to the next live show.

Guys, the amount of coverage that you're providing this year is amazing. It's so much more entertaining to watch you guys MST3K the press conferences rather than just watch them.

Really happy to see the 8-4 guys here. I enjoy their stuff

I looked it up.

You sure? They took a break but I thought it went on for at least two hours (I checked in a few times).

Can't rap! You gotta do it!

Good stuff, nice way to start the E3 madness.

Wow! That dude with the grey and white stripey jumper is pretty smart. What's his name? John Drake. He needs to talk more about video games.

Really do want an mp3 version of these daily discussions. Will it happen officially or do I need to look for some html5/flash ripping software or something?

All Nintendo has to do is "Skylanders" Pokemon on WiiU with a proper game.

Mark McDonald. Former big name in the games press (EGM/1UP etc.), now working for a localization studio in Japan.

Beyond that. Stop being an asshole.

I just looked up the Twitch archive, and the video is an hour, and 48 minutes long, but doesn't actually start until about 50 minutes in, and has some dead time at the end, so yes, I believe that is the full show.

There appears to be some stuff before then of just the GB guys talking, but that was at the end of the Sony press conference, so I suspect it would be part of that video.

John Drake looks MISERABLE. Fantasia fatigue? Or flat out hate for MS pulling the Kinect?

Eric Pope's sideburns are diabolical.

Man, John Drake was ON POINT.

CM Punk and Roman Reigns are going to have a match to determine who get's the new Giant Bomb editor position.

I'd like to see/hear more of the 8-4 guys in future content. I know it's not trivial making that happen. Nice job bringing them in the first day.

Can someone tell me what's up with the random cardboard cutouts in the back?

Great first show. I can't wait to hear what you guys think of the games tonight. Also, is Phil Spencer still showing up?
