This is awesome. Loved the "He got fired for being honest" comment. That's why pretty much everyone who made Gamespot awesome now works for Giant Bomb!

Epic video! 
 
I've been lurking here for some months listening to the bombcast and whatnot. Those PAX  videos and dreamcast thowbacks finally made me sign up. Love the site!

Tim had a lot of time on his hand I guess 'cause he walked around with X-Play's Morgan Webb, too.  Next time they should just combine the walkabout, Jeff, Morgan & Tim.

Exactly, as good as James Mielke's chat with Sakaguchi.

All the former GS guys are the main reason I joined the site. That site went completely downhill after they left. Giant Bomb is the best place for gaming on the web!!!

That is a fantastic video.. although PAX is filled with some of the most.. bizarre looking people. Gaming is still for the stereotypical nerd haha

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.

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.

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.

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!

I love how Jeff just casually mentions Bible Black in an interview with Tim Schafer.

Maybe they realize that they were filming a vid and were smart enough to not interfere with it.

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!!!

@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.
