In retrospect, someone really should have slipped in a Superbad reference (doodling dongs).

Nice shirt, Klepek.

Oh damn I was just about to go to bed.

I don't need crack, I have Giant Bomb.

Posted by m0rdr3d - August 30, 2011 at 6:53 PM

I was just about to go workout and then this pops up. DANG! Where are my priorities?

Posted by Lind_L_Taylor - August 30, 2011 at 6:58 PM

Look at those fuckin' sunglasses...lol.

Posted by Etaber - August 30, 2011 at 7:03 PM

I thought for a second they brought a crane for that shot at 0:50.

Love Brad hitting Patrick in the side of the head.

Vinny is a true artist

Posted by B_Heart - August 30, 2011 at 8:02 PM

Sweet! Going to watch this first before listening to the bombcast

Posted by Protonguy - August 30, 2011 at 8:24 PM

Theoretically i was finally in a giantbomb clip. Though i'm just a blur as drew pans across :D. Great panel

Posted by golguin - August 30, 2011 at 8:24 PM

Okay, lets do this.

Posted by garnsr - August 30, 2011 at 8:30 PM

Is there an audio version anywhere? I'd rather just listen on my iPod.

Posted by bkbroiler - August 30, 2011 at 8:36 PM

Is the audio really bad for anyone else? The mics keep fading in and out and there is a ton of crackling.

Posted by YoungBuck - August 30, 2011 at 8:45 PM

Rock stars!

Posted by sungahymn - August 30, 2011 at 8:51 PM

Yeah!

Since our cameras had to be far from the venue's audio mixing board, we had to use wireless transmitters, which can experience interference when in a room with 800 people, each of which has an electronic device of some kind. That's what you're hearing when the audio "pops" or "clicks." There are portions of the audio that had such bad interference that I muted them entirely and substituted the audio from a shotgun mic mounted on the camera in the back of the room. That's what you're hearing when it sounds like the fidelity has been reduced. Such are the challenges of getting clean audio at trade shows!

I heard that.

..and what's the deal with airline food, right? I mean, right?!

This is the shortest Bombcast since the Portal 2 spoiler cast... in April!

Posted by ProjektGill - August 30, 2011 at 10:27 PM

It's great that they put up all 3 parts at once. Great Part 1, time for Part 2 which despite having Paul and Carrie, I've heard it was the weakest part of the panel.

Posted by lozenge - August 30, 2011 at 10:28 PM

Any chance of an MP3 version of the panel for the bandwidth-challenged?

Posted by TheDeadComedian - August 30, 2011 at 10:40 PM

@TheHT: i got so relieved whenever people cheered

thank you for the reply! i still really enjoyed the panel, and I don't mean to be a dick about the audio. Judging by what you said, I'm sure you spent hours trying to get the audio to sound as good as it could at all times. Thanks for the effort, Drew. I may be drunk, but I still love you. And Giant Bomb.

Good thing they gave us a regular bombcast on top of this then! Thanks GB!

Wow, just from the screencap one can already see how extrashiny Patrick's hair is.

Edited by darkjester74 - August 31, 2011 at 10:29 AM

I did not need to see Jeff's underbelly. :-P

Oh god, the audio. :-( I know its not your fault guys, but man, that's aggravating.

Otherwise awesome show as always!
