Mo' StreetPass, Mo' Problems

Woah...my friends and I sat on that same bench on Saturday before their panel. Weird. Also, all the comments on all these videos suck! You guys are all assholes! Stop it.

Too much ketchup.

I always find it juvenile as hell when someone has to be forced to eat healthy from to to time.

Patrick, you sound like you don't deserve your girl friend.

Yes, he likes fries. What a bastard.

I was referring to when he said he likes to eat shitty, unhealthy food instead of the nice meals his girlfriend makes for him just to spite her.

Putting words in people's mouths is fun isn't it? You can turn a man who simply says that he's indulging in bad food into a horrible guy who insults his girlfriend on a regular basis.

but then again, I'm just probably being juvenile.

^^ Oh Snap Burn!!!

Oh you guys. Real videos will be put up when they get back. Don't bitch so much.

Good posts from the defense force in these comments.

I am thoroughly enjoying this StreetPass coverage.

I am glad because I thought that it was just me.

I wish the videos would be a bit longer, but I'm thoroughly enjoying them as well.

Wow......awesome Pax coverage.....Fucking garbage

While I too thoroughly enjoy them, I can agree that they are too short.

I'm sorry. I was being sarcastic.

I really ... am surprised that didn't come across.

FWIW, I got it, and actually, I did chuckle a little to myself once you reached the boldface-all-caps-italics stage. It was, IMHO, funny enough to be worth the effort...

Patrick's hair is making him look more like Sigourney Weaver in Alien with every day that passes.

and i'm sorry I don't find your brand of sarcasm funny, sure I took it at face value instead of sarcasm my bad, but if you look at all of the other comments bashing the video that are 100% serious its only natuaral to assume given how badly the community has degraded that you might have actually been crazy enough to be serious.

Drew is eating a healthy salad and Patrick is eating cheddar cheese fires. I think that speaks volumes about those two. lol

Enough White Knighting for Giantbomb. This is boring content, and I don't blame people for being bored with it and wanting something more entertaining.

Even their normal nonsense videos from conventions are typically more fun then this streetpassing bore.

Yeah, but I'm keeping in mind that all of their in-depth content is going to start rolling out this week and will probably be more than we can watch in said week.

Call it "white-knighting" all you want, I call it being patient like a normal fucking human being.

This. These videos are pretty terrible but I am assuming they are just getting home now, so it is not like they have had the bandwidth to upload anything major yet. Give them time, jerks.

Patrick hair looks like a Lionel Richie perm.

Whiny assholes should probably take their complaints about the PAX content to some other website. If you've been a regular at this site for an extended length of time, you're probably aware of the immense amount of GB content that comes of events like PAX East and various other trade shows.

Grow some fucking patience. Seriously.

Is Giant Bomb trolling us with these videos? Oh well, there's always next week.

@Amukasa said:

Then get out of here you shouldn't be watching "fucking garbage"

Normally I would just enjoy a video like this and move on, but now I feel compelled to leave a comment stating for the record that I find this video cool and worthwhile to balance out all the fuckwits.

Arrrrgh I hate those who don't have any puzzle pieces to offer as well.

I find it funny that the only time Street Pass seems relevant to anything is during trade shows.

On a side note, not a fan of having every single video lately being jam-packed with comments about THIS ISN'T WHAT I COME TO GIANT BOMB FOR!!

Then fucking don't come here, christ. Interview videos take time to edit, and they just got situated in a new office. Plus it's not like we have a flood of new or newly announced games coming out. I'll take my 2 hour Breaking Brad video and be content. *Goes to watch Game of Thrones*

I can understand it from the monthly subscriber point of view. Anyone that bought a sub just for March didn't really get much out of it. Content was scarce for about a week before they moved - and they moved on the 16th of March. I'm sure when they get back theres going to be a lot of content - the GB panel, possibly Jeff cameo in the Harmonix panel, and all the interviews and whatnot. You gotta understand how some people might be getting restless as there hasn't been a really steady influx of content since the beginning of March and were in April now.

Yeah, you're definitely right. I didn't even bother thinking about monthly, so maybe they should do something to compensate for that.

From a yearly point of view I've been getting my money's worth. But the past month has been pretty bare, which probably might rub some new visitors from Gamespot the wrong way, too.

Oh no! My $4.95! I was going to do so much awesome stuff with that amount of money that's less than a value meal at McDonalds!!!1

I'm really liking these videos. The more content the better, keep it up guys.

I kind of want a 3DS just for these sorts of Street Pass shenanigans, except I live in a small town and I'd probably never get anyone. Also it's a useless device.

Normally they wouldn't post anything on a fucking weekend. I don't see why people complain.

Some men just want to watch their street passes increase...

Wow. The Giant Bomb community is horrible sometimes.

Wow. The Giant Bomb community is horrible sometimes.

F the guys complaining about guys who are complaining. I don't know how long they've been a fan of Giantbomb, but something is wrong. Last trade show was understandable, they were leaving the office. But now? What is this!? This is not the Giantbomb I love. Where are the intimate, "behind the scenes" footage of developers? I'm hoping it's just them adjusting. But something definitely seems off.

Ahahahaha I like this whole Street Pass vlog series. Also yeah, Giant Bomb content from PAX usually takes a long time to get actually finished and added to the site.

You people hate fun.

Fuck actual PAX coverage, StreetPass all the way.

@FoxMulder said:

I imagine that Drew always big headphones around his neck!

He's like Yosuke :)

@Nadafinga said:

Forget about the thousands of awesome stuff to see at pax, let's dink around on our 3DS. C'mon guys, there's a whole bunch of us out here who would kill to be there, show us some cool stuff!

I wouldn't worry too much about it. They didn't go to pax just to film themselves playing with their 3ds. This is just bonus stuff. I'm sure they are saving the Pax footage for this week coming up. It does still need to get edited. This is just being shot with like a flip camera. It is easy stuff brad can put up without it needed any editing

Its not about the price, its the principle. Users are paying money and they haven't been getting a ton of content. I understand the reasons and the lack of content doesn't really upset me personally, but I can definitely understand why some paying members might be upset.

It isn't fucking E3. It's PAX. If you want 'coverage' on the stuff at PAX go read about it, it's all out there.

Don't worry everyone, the new Street Pass tech unveiled at PAX will be posted soon.

These are the kind of videos I was hoping to see from the guys at PAX. I don't know what else anyone was expecting considering they don't show anything new at this thing. E3 is where it is at and we all know this.

I can't wait for the video of their panel and Alex trying to act like he is badass cuz he used to be a forum mod for Harmonix. It will be awesome.

That is what he said on the Bombcast, I am not putting words in his mouth at all.

Dear GiantBomb:

Why are you doing this to me.

I want CONTENT. From the PAXES. Not quickly uploaded streetpass bullshit that you were under no obligation to upload in the first place because it's a weekend and the site rarely updates over the weekend, making this content silly and superfluous but I am going to whine about it anyway.

Take all of the no doubt great footage you have recorded about GAEMS and INTERVIEWS and shit and fucking EDIT, POST PROCESS, PRODUCE AND UPLOAD ALL OF IT IN THE FIELD. USE A LAPTOP YOU FUCKS I DON'T CARE GIVE ME CONTENT. *FLIPS TABLE*

you guys know that even monthlys get 1,5 years worth of subscriber content to watch, right?

this entitlement BS is getting worse and worse...

Klepek StreetPass check-in is quickly becoming my favorite thing on this site.

Well maybe I'm just the weird one, because I don't understand it. I don't sit there keeping score to make sure I get 22.5 AGBCUs per 4 week period (that's Adjusted Giant Bomb Content Units, of course). Anybody who feels like they're getting "ripped off" should take their ball and go home. Or to the Better Business Bureau, since they're the entitled gamer's advocate du jour now.

If i visited just GB i would think there is nothing going on there but streetpassing.

I think this stuff is going up fast whilst they edit all their actual content. The Giant Bomb community has become very agitated as of late? Lets not go to the dark side guys just because it's now part of Gamespot.

You are the weird one but only because you don't seem to possess the ability to empathize with persons other than yourself. As you see by the responses here some people do get it. It's not the end of the world for me, because I've grown used to the cycle of there being nothing for a while and then a couple of cool videos posted in a row. As it's been mentioned above it's the principle - but hey, next time you go to McDonalds and you order your value meal and it comes with a half eaten burger, a few stray fries in an empty box and a cup with just ice on the bottom then I hope the cashier rolls his eyes at you and mentions how it's only $4.95 and you're being a baby about it, then promptly turns around and makes a quip to his friends about how "entitled" customers have gotten lately.

Also oh my god Drew I think those salads were like 20 dollars. CBS BACKING IN FULL FORCE!

Damn Drew that salad looked good! Now, just dump those bacon fries on top of it... yeah, just like that.

I certainly wouldn't do the proper American thing, which is to immediately file a lawsuit.

Also, the fact that you think that's a proper analogy to Giant Bomb says everything. EVERYTHING.

I love how angry Brad was getting at the lack of puzzle pieces, I never use that part of street pass. I'm all about hero's quest
