GDC 2014 Live Stream - Part 05

Ed Boon just with that thousand yard stair of I've made a terrible deceision

I don't say this very often, because I like statements like this to have meaning, but...

This is one of the best videos on this entire website. Oh my goodness, is it something special.

This might be the greatest thing posted on the site since the baby shaking incident.

You don't want to skip any of this...

Wow... I'm not.... wow. That was something.

CEO Dave Lang is the best Dave Lang

Poor Ed.

Dave Lang is my spirit animal.

It would have been nice to see Ed Boon on one of the earlier segments so he could actually have gotten a chance to talk seriously and we could have heard more from him.

Oh goooood

Yes p&d is shit.

Drunk duders... As a person who has experienced people as drunk as that, I can say I am relatively okay with those antics, especially since they're slightly more in control when they're sober.

It at least makes it a bit better that Lang and Ed Boon has a history from Midway etc. I couldn't imagine how Boon would feel if he didn't know Lang from before, haha :)

edit: And Lang mentioned on the pocast that Iron Galaxy is now 70(?) people strong. So this is a guy who employs 70 people :D

I'm continuously amazed that Ed Boon always shows up to Giant Bomb live events. Always seems like he's thinking, "Shit, what have I gotten myself into..."

Those arm movements by Lang are unmistakable. My best bud is a boozer and his arms flail oddly just like Lang's. Maybe the most uncomfortable segment in GB history, this was fantastic!

Yep

"What is this, like a jogging simulator?"

Ahahahahaha

I can totally sympathize with Boon's "fuck that," and I'm sure he appreciated Vinny's tact in ignoring Lang's demands and focusing on Dave instead (aside from the wide shot of the couch).

When he wasn't scanning the middle distance for emergency exits Boon was as knowledgeable and calculating as ever, and I think it was telling that he made a few tepid attempts at jokes and also laughed at others' throughout. He has his head on straight.

14:54 - Ed Boon turns to look desperately for someone, anyone, to save him from this madness.

Oh man I can't wait to watch this once I get home. Sounds like the best mess

I always love it when Ed comes by and having seen this happen a number of times over the years on this very site, this is Ed enjoying the show as much as anyone. Gosh what an end to a great series of guests and talks.

I can't wait to bear hug this large man in three weeks.

Hey guys, Just wanted to say this shit is why I am subscribed to this stupid website. This was just about the dumbest thing I have ever seen on the internet. Just a bunch of dudes sitting on a couch having a beer and talking about games. This whole livestream was absolutely amazing please never change.

Oh man, this was insane and hilarious, but I was actually really looking forward to Ed Boon opening up and talking like the devs in the other videos were, but then The Lang Zone happened. Now I'm just terrified he'll never go near Giant Bomb ever again! D:

Ed "Fuck. That." Boon

I like how some people think the creator of Mortal Kombat is someone that takes the world too seriously.

Giant Bomb - getting developers drunk since 2008.

This entire live stream was amazing. Thanks guys. My sides were splitting and there were many great conversations throughout. I imagine it was just a blast to be there. Highlight was when Campo Santo (idle thumbs) and Brad Brad and Jeff chatted. Only downfall was not enough Vinny IMO.

I love your comment.

JV dresses like a Miami gangster and I love it.

Man, when Ed said "I don't know where this is going" near the end of the stream. It felt pretty serious.

Is that a Lang I see? Yes. YEESSSSS!

The best of endings. You are not prepared.

Remember to bring a towel.

Smells like Chicago in here...

Ed Boon looks like he got roped into this.

I feel like between Lang's drunk antics and all of the (probably) wild off-camera shit that was happening, this is probably the craziest stream that's ever happened on GiantBomb...

Lang's drunken-ness made me a bit uncomfortable at points and I was just watching. But a whole lot of this was hilarious.

John Vignocchi makes me really unconfortable

man O man. A drunk @Dave Lang is every ones crazy uncle ... any who love you lang, and thought it was a boss night

Funniest video I'veseen n the site in a long time. Kinda felt like some of that old Sausalito Whiskey Media vibe.

Oh god I was rolling like a few minutes in. Ed Boon seemed so confused...lol.

Also Dave Lang needs to join the site. He's a perfect fit.

You gotta give a hand to poor Boon keeping calm during this whole hostage situation.

never enough Dave Lang

This was time well spent.

"Fuck that." - Ed Boon

I honestly am speechless after watching that....

@hunterob: Dave Lang had me laughing out loud in the private solace of a 12 hour work shift by myself. His big announcement almost had me laughing so hard I cried a little. I demand drunk Lang on 1/4 of the year's podcasts.

This is why we have good things.

Though fun segment, I'm a little sad that we didn't get to hear more inside baseball from Ed.

This is amazing. Truly amazing.

This was such an amazing shit show. I really hope they can get Ed Boon back for something slightly more serious sometime though.

Giant Bomb seems to attract the coolest people from 'the industry'. Watching stuff like this just makes me appreciate games, and the people making them, even more. :)
