" Honestly the PA guys seemed kind of rude especially when they were all "do we have to go yet?" twice. "

They were a little busy dude, you know, at their show. "

You say that as if having "their show" means they have to run and start nailing pieces of wood to make a booth. "

Fantastic discussion with Gabe and Tycho guys!  Would love more "interviews" like this!

" They seemed kinda odd. Not as funny and outgoing as i thought they would be. They almost even acted a bit stern towards some of Jeff and Ryan's jokes. Like the quotation joke. I dunno, something just seemed kinda weird and out of place about them. Although maybe there is some underlying humor to how they were acting that's just going way over my head. "

I felt the same about the reaction to the quotation joke.  Although it seemed he didn't like it that they asked if his water broke.  Other than that, this is an absolutely fantastic interview. Perhaps the best I have witnessed. Great work GB! "

I'm really glad I watched this. This "discussion" was way better than  an interview.

I have a feeling that the PA guys seem so stern, or whatever, is because they are not what people expect when they first see them. They don't live up to the hype which their comic personas give off. 
 
People see them and are like "oh they are just normal dudes" 

I really love this whole discussion, and the style of it all. It feel like a few guys sitting down and talking about things that interest them. Not enough sites do this.

this was a great discussion 
but god damn Jeff and Ryan are really fat

Shenmue clone? So Fahrenheit was that as well? :)
Never played Shenmue but I sure as hell loved Fahrenheit!

I can't believe they just dissed Greg Kassavin like that, lol. He did have an inconsistent way of scoring. But good for him.

I like how giantbomb makes their video time more personal. I feel like I'm actually getting connected with theses people, instead of hearing boring debates.
 
Kudos guys, keep doing what you're doing.

Seemed to me like a Bombcast being videod. Not a bad thing, pretty kick-ass.

The penny arcade guys seemed kind of uptight and humorless, yes this might be the 10th interview that they have given this day, but they could have loosened up a bit more. As far as the trash talk about Greg, i don't really get it. Don't know if it was a joke or not, but either way it was uncalled for and kinda disloyal in my opinion.

I didn't know Greg had moved on from EA! Good luck to him.
 
Congrats on all of the PAX content this year, Giantbomb. :)

The entire discussion was nothing but jokes. It was just very dry humor. The talk about Greg was hilarious, not trash talk. :) "

whats up with the douchee undertones... penny arcade has always ben unfunny to me and those guys always seemed jerky. despite this being a good interview on GB's part (is it even possible for you guys to suck??? NO!) it just confirms many of my thoughts on pa. 

Who's Gabe, Who's Tycho?

Cut the penny arcade guys some slack, they're not TV or radio personalities, they're a writer and an artist.  Also, they're not always trying to be funny, they're often trying to say some harsh truth and use humor as a tool, they've always had a serious side.

Just watched this for the second time.  Such a great discussion! 
 
Some things I noticed... It's funny to see Ryan lean forward and backwards immediately following Jeff leaning forwards and/or backwards.  Also despite Vinny praising the boom operator, it did dip into the shot a few times.

Is the bald guy wearing a Hospital bracelet?

You guys should do more of these informal chats. That was really interesting. and a little bizarre :P

These guys had the personality of a rock.

These guys need to smile.
