The look on the kid's face when he turns around. It's almost like Tim and Jeff are harshing his Rock Band buzz.

Brillant use of scheduling & finding Tim Schafer, btw if you need another shirt idea that's not related to Persona4, try the logo on the back of Jeff's hoodie. Know a few people who'd buy that if it was a hoodie or on a shirt.

This slick interview has given me this great idea for Double Fines next big thing -  
 
An action game that will feature the character of Jeff Gerstmann, voiced by Jeff Gerstmann, a proud journo who was wronged by the evil overlords at CNET. Together with his rag tag band of fellow Journos, Jeff must travel back in time to San Francisco circa 2007 to avenge his injustices and ultimately save the planet from mediocre video games. Riding their space neon lobster infused with magical powers, the team must do battle with the minions of Eidos Interactive and  the dead men of kane and lynch until they reach the headquaters of CNET for the final showdown against the vice president, a transexual psychopath , hell bent on subjecting humanity to average entertainment. Can our team of plucky journos alter the time streams and save humanity in its greatest hour of need? 
 
Ill leave the naming of the game to you Tim.

Excellent interview. Tim seems like a smart and fun guy. I love how he notices all the little things around the show like the skulls and the baby with the Psychonauts hat. Also fun to see all the fans come up and show their support of both Jeff and Tim.

00:54 seconds guy with the hairy shoulders is one  of the most hilarious but creepy things I've seen. Also, Jeff's face when Tim pretends to punch the Scribblenauts director reminded me of the iPhone app commercial. This is such a fantastic video, and I hope Brutal Legend sells a bajillion copies.

This is the sort of stuff that just doesn't happen at other video game sites and the reason why I support Giant Bomb.  I didn't even know about the site until about a month back when we were talking about Jeff on the Gamespot forums (ironic I know) and they mentioned he worked here now. Fastforward to now and this website has so many amazing concepts like Endurance run, QL's, QL:EX's, these interviews and you really can tell that Giant Bomb is at the top of the hill for game content. 
 
Never stop doing what you're doing guys. This stuff is awesome.

@JFiveJ5: Yup, On the Spot went down hill when Rich left... and then became unwatchable when Jeff was fired and Brad, Vinny, Alex, and Ryan left. Although maybe it was for the better since we get awesome interviews like this one... GameSpot is just way too big and corporate now to do anything remotely as awesome.

This video is awsome! I love the part when Tim says "He got fired for being honest". Isnt that the truth. I am a fan of all the guys since their days from the "other site not to be named". Been a fan for a long time including Greg, Ryan (the other one at 38), Carrie, Alex and more!!!

" You'd think that the people at PAX would be clued up enough on video games to recognise Jeff & Tim walking among them. I was surprised they weren't just mobbed straight out. "
Maybe they realize that they were filming a vid and were smart enough to not interfere with it.

A new kind of "Walk the Talk" really good. Had a great time watching it! The audio quality at first felt like it had a lot of noise.. but got adjusted to it (or did it get better?) later on.
 
I wonder if all the other high profile game design people are as humble and friendly as Tim. Also, The gaming scene is so big that so many people visit pax, many famous people like Tim might be walking around and people wont even know who they are. 
 
Great video! Great questions, everything loaded with awesomness!

So cool! Jeff is having a casual talk and walk with Tim Schafer like they're great buddies since high school. I'm so jealous.

This interview was awesome because Tim was cool and had opinions about other games without spewing marketing crap (Rock Band with Alex, Scribblenauts) and Jeff was asking some amazing questions that could or could not have been related to Brutal Legend.  
 
Its amazing what happens when two awesome guys just walk around and talk about stuff as a sort of off-the-record interview / booth tour.
