Giant Bombcast E3 2010 Day Zero

We run down the day's events, including the Microsoft, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft press conferences, plus some first-hand Kinect experiences and the oversized Activision soiree at the Staples Center.

The Giant Bombcast is the world's most beloved video game podcast, and now it's available in video form.

" Dont want to be bitchy mcbitch here, but so far, last 2 years had much better e3 coverage. A day with 3 conferences and it gets a 1 hour and 15mins podcast? Ryan seemed to be rushing everyone, i guess they all came back late from their stuff, which is understandable, but still kinda lame :/ And again, the seperate video recap was much better than the ustream stuff being the same as the podcasts Im a huge bombcast fan, maybe that why a short one bums me out :D Hopefully the next few days will be better "
Yeah it was a little fast, and it seemed like only Jeffs opinion mattered y'know what i mean? but whatever! i still enjoy it, i was mighty skeptical about the ustream being the podcast, but i like it.  I can expect or hope that when E3 really kicks off with all the demo's it'll get fatter, the 08 discussions were mighty and rad! "
Guess what? Still doing the full video recaps. ALSO doing live stream. ALSO daily podcasts. ALSO all the live blogs, trailers, demo breakouts...I think you need some perspective, son. "
I'm not shitting on your hard work dude, just thought the podcast would have been longer since there wre 3 conferences. And I thought there would be no video recaps, my bad.

No thank you.  I do not want to live in a world without Rich Gallup.  I consider Rich Gallup just a delinquent member of the Giantbomb crew.

I'm beginning to wonder what the hell they are doing at 38 Studios. How is it possible that they have nothing to show? What could they possibly be doing? I'm beginning to wonder if 38 Studios is just some sort of scam to keep Curt Schilling's internet porn collection going.

The name Kinect first made me think of K'nex, the building blocks. 
 
"Your Shape: Fitness Evolved" that's a real name?

I find it amusing they casually mention a Soundgarden performance.
 
I don't know how I forgot they regrouped this year.

Ghost Recon Invisible Pointing was my favorite part of the bombcast. Although, I'm pretty sure the bombcast could talk about anything and make it entertaining.

Guys, this Bombcast is utterly incomprehensible to anybody who didn't see what you saw. I was stoked for this when I saw it in my iTunes because I hadn't seen much E3 coverage but the Bombcast didn't do much to educate me. 
 
How about throwing a bone to the listeners who aren't at E3 every once in a while. Like: "What we're talking about right now, if you haven't seen it, is..."

Super echo again; I can imagine you guys bombcasting in an empty theater, rehearsing for a live B-cast. Oh man, that would be fucked, I bet there would be a bunch of hecklers screaming GB related nonsense. But still, I find the idea intriguing... Especially if Ryan wears a Zorro outfit.
 
I find the idea of the "Parents voice commanding their kids Xbox" theory to be thoroughly reprehensible: The best part of being a kid is the ability to do things like surreptitiously playing video games after bedtime and turning the volume way down low, keeping an eye out for parental bathroom use and pouncing in a catlike reflex back to bed after turning off the TV but not the console whilst making sure the power light is concealed...
 
OH GOD I MISS SCRAMBLED PORN! We lived like cavemen before the Internet.
 
Kids need a measure of autonomy, a place where grown ups can't interfere. Giving parents the voice command of their kids Xbox just effin' sucks.

The video in the Ustream cuts off half way, anyone managed to grab the whole video?  
 
Edit: I guess I'll listen here.
