I understand that this is the Internet so some of you people are literally too socially maladjusted to keep your vitriol to yourself, but this had to be said anyway: You dislike a guy on the site, get over it.

Cause it being a website makes it less real than a talk show, sports show, or radio show right? Giant Bomb is a personality centric website and all their entertainment revolves around that. They themselves are acknowledging that videogame coverage is all about personalities more than games now. So if people take issue with someone's personality on a website that's all about personality, I'd say that's something worth complaining about.

I had to stop too. They kept talking over the information just so he pcould make a joke then ask "what did he say?" plus Patrick being straight up dismissive about almost everything they announced was getting really annoying.

My fault I guess. I should have watched it vanilla before checking out the guys commentary.

Really enjoyed this. You guys should do this again if the opportunity presents itself. Also really enjoyed Patrick on this ( i seem to be the minority) Every gaming press conference needs to be met with a healthy amount of cynicism.

This site needs to hire a Shane Bettenhaussen type of character, who is unfairly biased to Sony products. You know, just to balance things out.

I was going to make a joke about how they should hire him on to hype Ignition joints... but the motherfucker works at Sony now. Also, the Sony vs. MS thing is oooooooold news. Who cares?!?

I know the GB guys aren't big on user feedback when it comes to their content, but I can always hope:

I enjoyed the hell out of this thing... afterwards. I was excited to watch it live, but put it on mute after about two minutes. I kept coming back, hoping they would be picking their shots for talking a little better, but unfortunately that didn't really happen.

Hopefully for future big news done live they can hold their otherwise enjoyable commentary for the downtime. I really do look forward to experiencing these things live and coupled with my favorite web site, but the big news does take priority if I have to choose.

Is there anything about the hardware that doesn't tell me that I should just stick with my pc and go with ports? It seems like the are moving over to more compatible hardware for games to be developed for both.

I freely admit that I am not very hardware literate so this may not be the case. I do know that watching the announcement videos and then watching the Crysis 3 QL lets me know that there isn't anything happening on a console by the end of the year that a PC can't do now.

Yeah, makes me think the same thing. I hate to say it but PC master race? PC master race...

... and I kinda love unboxing new video cards.. :D

As a real master you should command your slaves to give you the exclusives that you can't play today on PC.

I guess everyone's PSN accounts and PS3s will explode the moment the PS4 arrives.

It's a miracle people stupid enough to believe that manage to post on the internet.

Jeez Patrick, you know you don't have to take every opportunity you can to make a cynical comment about everything, right? I mean, you do notice you're the only one doing it while everyone just watches the presentation, right?

I love you man, but cool it. That beard is giving you too much confidence :)

Not too seem overly down on media molecule as brad expected but that video they showed really reminded me of Wii music with how people in the background interacted with it. True there may be more to it and I hope so.. Though, I am very hopefully this works out for them.

Dude, you nailed it. I was thinking the exact same thing, and I'm surprised neither the crew watching nor anybody here mentioned it.

While I love the GB guys, they talked wayyyy too much over the main presentation. Watching Brad strain to hear while new features are being rattled off made me feel terrible for him. They definitely needed to know when to joke and when to listen. It came off as dismissive and disrespectful in a lot of ways.

GB rules, but it makes me glad I was watching the live stream elsewhere. It had the teenagers behind me in the theater feel.

Loved the reactions from you guys. I would like to see this more often, like if Konami does another pre-E3 conference.

I want the entire crew to wear cameras pointed at their own faces for the duration of E3. I want to watch a stream of press conference and watch a picture in picture of Jeff's face as he sits in the audience watching same press conference. FUTURE MEDIA. >_<

I don't get the Patrick hate. He was honest in his opinions but also showed excitement and surprise at a lot of the things being shown. No one was overly negative but each was skeptical about different things. If that stream had been at 1080p I bet we'd have a whole set of different opinions on everything being shown.

He's not THAT bad, but he's so confidently cynical, that's what bugs me. Bungie comes on stage, Patrick declares confidently "I bet they won't show any gameplay," then Bungie show gameplay seconds after he says it.

Andrew House may be Welsh, but he doesn't have much of a Welsh accent. My Dad's side of the family is Welsh and their accents are far, far more obvious.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks it would be badass if Vinny shaved his head and let his beard grow out a little more.

He's a dad now, that look will just naturally evolve.

I hope they choose to make Mark Cerny the face of Playstation this gen. He felt genuine and dude knows his shit. Actually, I'd be good with Drive Club dude or raving lunatic Sucker Punch dude as well.

Brad was treating the concept of a new Killzone game like forced, unlubricated anal rape and groans at the insane concept of the fourth Playstation being called "PS4", but everyone crucifies Patrick for not wetting his pants in excitement.

I love Giant Bomb.

OK... how's that bank account of yours doing? I bet you spend more on the PC then you would on the PS3 to achieve parity. I just built a PC and it ran a little over a grand, I'm thinking the PS will be a bit cheaper.

They hit pretty much every check box they needed with this. The Japanese devs were boring and didn't show anything worthwhile, but I guess that's Japan these days when it comes to games. 8GB of GDDR5 seems a bit excessive, but hey, I'm not complaining. A great show from Sony. E3 should be an absolute blast!
