That was a cool interview. Hope we'll be seeing more things like this in the future.

Very cool video. One of the best interviews I've seen here on Giant Bpmb. But what could really go wrong with Jeff Gerstmann and Tim Schafer checking out PAX.... 
Cant't wait to finally play Brütal Legend!

This is an absolutely awesome interview/impression whatever video. I could watch some totally stiff interview anywhere or watch some guys having fun at PAX here.
It is the informality of GB that makes it great.

Is everyone like that when they meet Jeff and/or Tim? I guess it's for the best, since trying to act like you're not stoked seems a bit weird >_> Whatever, I'd be bouncing up and down.
 
P.S. My friends are anti-GB, mostly because I'm very pro-GB, so they miss out on awesome shit like this.

Jeff... you're a games industry celebrity. Learn to embrace it, but don't let it swell your head. I'm sure that dome already has issues wearing hats.

This video is ridiculous! 
 
Never played a Tim Schafer game before, but after seeing this, I have no choice but to support the man. 
 
"What's under the sack?"
"We work for Valve.  We were just testing you."
Schafer punching the ScribbleNAUTS dude.  Deep down Schafer's like "bastard stole my naming convention, and my damn award"

 
I love this site so much that I had forgotten about how it all started, until the classic;
 
"You're that guy that got fired for being honest" 
 
Send Gamespot a copy of this video.  THIS is journalism.

Things like this are exactly why I love this website!  The coverage we are offered and insight we get is unlike any other website I have seen.  The guys of Giant Bomb are doing all of us a great service with the amount of care and attention to video games that can only occur because they are fans of these games just like the rest of us.  The ability to have an honest conversation during an interview is so engrossing and gives us much more insight into the events and games that are being covered.  Thanks for taking the time to film these moments Vinny and Drew! Thanks also to Jeff, Ryan, and Brad for all the interviews!  It is things like this that set you apart from the crowd, so keep up the great work!

This is probably the most awesome interview I have ever had the pleasure of watching.
 
I've been planning to buy the game, but I'll probably go a head and preorder it now that there's an exclusive demo. Tim is my favorite video game developer. :3

WELL...if anyone ever wanted some form of confirmation from Jeff about the reason why was fired, his silence and lack of refuting Tim's words is a pretty clear sign!!!  lol 
 
Also, excellent video.  It's cool as Hell that Tim was willing to chill and chat like that.  As it's been stated, the cool flow of the conversation and the toned-down professionalism is what makes the GB material some of the best on the internet.

Do more of these. This is worth living for. I would live to see walking interviews with people in just the most craziest of places. It could even be in the basements of the office or the parking garage.

I love GiantBomb interviews, and this is no exception. Just walking around and shooting the shit with each other like a couple of buddies, not a cut and paste sanitized interview. Definitely one of the biggest reasons I love this place. Good job, guys!
 
On a side note, clip mikes aren't too expensive, maybe invest in a couple of those if possible? it'd definitely help with the audio quality in non-standard situations such as this.

PAX brings out the best in the Giant Bomb crew.  I loved this interview as well as the one with Gabe and Tycho- they're just so much more personal, meaningful interviews than what you're getting on other gaming sites nowadays.

Poor Jeff is all I can think. Forever known as the guy who was fired for being honest. Forgetting the fact that he, like the other Giant Bomb guys are freaking awesome. Great interview/conversation/laid back chat and walking.

Compared with older photographs of him without a stubbly beard, Schafer looks awesomer now.
