PAX East 2011: Giant Bomb Panel - Part 03

The question that prompts Dave to take his shirt off (which is in the thumbnail) is at 9:00.

Q&A is always cringey, but damn this year is a gold standard. Rip in peace memelords

Awkward "Don't cast bufu" line was cringeworthy.

Woah, comic-book-guys just come out of the woodworks as soon as a Q&A is available.

Holy shit, I loaded a new page and all of a sudden the header is different.

wait...there is a dunkin donuts right by my house and i live in california...

Wow, that Q&A session was... rough.

Terrible questions from terrible people.

4:11 No gang signs please.

I'll say one thing about the East Coast. All the nerds there are fucking annoying.

great job all involved

Ahhhh Ryan joked the joke I joked.

"Pornography y'all, that's what he's talking about." and that's why I love Ryan XD

Awesome Q&A. Disappointing reviews so far about the 3DS, was looking to possibly pick one of those up but might wait now until the new PlayStation later in the year.

Is that Jonathan Coulton? 

All the questions were awkward hate that part tho the chuck green jacket was awesome.

these questions blow

TOO HOT! to jay walk 

DO YOU SEE WHAT YOU HAVE CREATED GIANTBOMB!!??

" @mythrol: I'm pretty sure GB said from when they started Building the Bastion that they wouldn't review it because of how close they were with the people making it. 
 
Yup right here. 
   

 I should also state here, up front, before we get going, that due to the way we've decided to create ongoing programming based on Bastion and its developers--one of whom was a close coworker of ours for a lot of years--we're opting to not review Bastion when it's released. I suspect that, by the time it's finished, we'll all be a little too close to it to render an untainted verdict, so it's best to just state that now, so everyone's clear. Cool?

Jeff, Vinny, and Brad seem so comfortable and confident while Alex has mannerisms and facial twitches like a complete psycho. Ryan, cool and somewhat of a front-man for the group, seems uncomfortable - i think that he would be stud-hawt if he lost weight and did P90X so hey Ryan if you read this man, go for it dude! You guys rock, loved the show, loyal fan since forever!
 
Also - no questions about Endurance Run?

Oh come on, GIant Bomb community. I know you're terrible, but you're Bufu-comment-terrible?
 
Jesus.

No chance it's DA2. Jeff specifically mentions that "the developers brought preview builds of the game every few weeks for a few months to GB." Sadly, I fear that the only game that fits is Bastion.  If so, it's really sad because I don't care how good the game is, they won't see a dime of my money. At the end of the day, the ONLY thing that matters is sales. Yet, they used GB for months of free advertisements and then screw 'em over because of metacritic?  Sad part is, as nice as the people seemed, their true character was shown in how they treated GB and now I hope the game bombs and they do all get fired. F' em.  God, I hope I'm wrong. "

Yikes. Feel so sorry for that guy in the Mermaid Parade t-shirt.

Mermaid guy was scary; wtf was his problem

Very awesome indeed. Is it just me or has Giant Bomb started a cult  especially Jeff and his Nintendownload Express as well as the many people that came to their PAX panel. Too bad none of the questions were about a possible endurance run.

all of this was awesome

" I think you can see me inching up to the mic, up to 2 guys back before Ryan ends the Q&A; I'm in the white hoodie. Next time, next time...! "

good stuff

Terrible shame, I always love to see more Dave Snider, but there's no way I'm gonna sit and listen to all those people asking their cringe-inducing questions. Makes me want to rip off my ears.

A little Too Hot to Jaywalk, very nice.

alex always laughin at his on shitty jokes...

How did no one think to ask about another endurance run?

" What was Jeff referring to when he talked about not getting a review copy of a game that they'd previewed on the site? It's around the 21minute mark.  "

The only game i can think of that fit the bill is Bastion, which would make me sad if that were the case. "

Hotspot theme was wicked awesome

Anyone else smile at the hotspot theme?

Linguistics guys = awesome. That's how you make an interesting comment before a question without embarrassing the entire audience in the process.

What happens in AR Pokemon Snap when a wild shirtless Dave appears?

I think you can see me inching up to the mic, up to 2 guys back before Ryan ends the Q&A; I'm in the white hoodie. Next time, next time...!

The dude that asked the question about the camera is an ass for not having it with him. Don't ask what to take with the camera if you don't have it.

Sure, some of the questions were awkward and cringe inducing, but at least it leads to hilarious comments by the Giant Bomb crew. And the mermaid guy probably hates this site now.

" What was Jeff referring to when he talked about not getting a review copy of a game that they'd previewed on the site? It's around the 21minute mark.  "

" @WrathOfBanja: Hopefully he does, just to piss all you idiots off.  "

" alex navarro may have ruined gb for me "

At least he's still just an occasional guest. Hopefully he never becomes a part of the GB team. "

I'm surprised by how many hot girls are in the audience.
