PAX East 2012: Pre-Panel Prep

I love Ska, guys. Love. I'm so lonely.

Ryan's laugh is infectious.

My greatest moment at PAX was aiming that red light at the drum kit. Thanks for letting me be your roadie, Giantbomb Band.

wow these are the people that are trolling me.......you kidding me

@Jimbo_N: Jeff Green tweeted that he brought his daughter with to hand out swag, I think.

This was better than the actual panel.

John Drake : SubHuman Piece of Trash.

God, I wish I was there to witness the rebirth of ska.

For some reason my mind cannot decide if that was Jeff Green and his daughter or Jeff Green and his young wife. All I know is that I was bummed out when the camera went the other way.

Also, guy in Viking Helmet and backpack was almost as pleasing to the eye.

@kishinfoulux:

Thanks?

That one enforcer looks like one of the dudley boyz. >_>

haha MAGFest plug!

waaaaaaaa

something is better then nothing and i liked it.

also this has nothing to do with what screamingfist wrote i just diddent want to go though all the comments to find dimi0c0

That's basically what I was saying ;)

Why did I just watch 30 mins of people getting ready for a panel? Goddamn it GB.

@Driadon: love it. I could tell he didnt like the ska, and I cant blame him. Ska died for a reason.

@ThePickle One step beyond by madness

Tanx

Is that EA and PopCap's own Jeff Green, and his daughter, on the left side of the front row?

Again, watching myself on a giantbomb video... really fucking weird.

i was watching you aswell, while furiously masturbating

OH NOOO D:

Rich Gallup!

@CornBREDX: No, they definitely played it. The guitar part in the theme song is being played by the trumpet. There was also a part when they were doing their ska jam session where John Drake asked Ryan if they should do "the theme" and he told them to wait. That's what the "hit it" was for at the beginning of the panel.

Pre-Panel Prep clearly needed more WUB WUB WUB.

Bringing back Ska! WOOO

Dear Giant Bomb Community: thanks for letting me put my mediocre ska in you all.

@Brewmaster_Andy: No. I only heard them play the intermission song. They don't actually play the theme song though.

Oh well, I was just curious anyway. They had it on the last podcast so, i was just curious. Maybe Ryan just didn't want them to play it for whatever reason. Most likely that is all it was.

@PatPandaHat said:

So, does Eric Pope or CBSi owe money for that song at the start?

Probably, but GB will continue to infringe copyright until somebody tells them to stop.

Holy crap, starting out with a Specials cover.  This is going to be good.

@planetary said:

Are they playing that damn Deadly Premonition song?

...What? No song played in the video sounds remotely like Life Is Beautiful. Thanks for getting my hopes up for some Deadly Skamonition, jerk. >:C

Anyway, Jeff's announcer voice is hysterical. "The queue room is... funky..."

What was the second ska song played? Pope yelled out "One Step Behind" before it. There were no vocals.

I find it slightly amusing that they're all sitting there with their 3DS out and Street Passing everyone.

dude with pinkhair must be brad and patricks drug dealer

hell yes antichamber! that games looks freaky in the way I like

4:55 in the blue shirt. Awww, yeah. Immortalized on Giant Bomb.

Anyways such a fantastic panel and the highlight of my PAX trip. Traveled down from Canada (sorry about the shitty beer) and I'll be doing it again annually. Thanks guys!

They disappointed Drew, this cannot stand.

Giant Bomb didn't officially sell out until they gave CBS access to ska.

Also, band needs more Aggrolites.

@CornBREDX: They did a ska remix of the theme song. Hard to hear in the video though - listen to the trumpet part.

JEFF IS LEFT HANDED WHAT!!!!!!!

That Enforcer was wearing sporty sunglasses inside so you know he means business.

@Freshbandito: Totally! Its ridiculous.

Argh, what's the second song they're playing? The one they start when people are coming in and before One Step Beyond.

It's on the tip of my tongue and so annoying that I can't remember what it's called.

Oh man I know the whole "if you have nothing good to say then say nothing" should apply here but damn this community needs to lose some weight and get a fucking stylist...

Not to knock Ska or anything but why don't they play the theme song anymore? Did they lose the rights to it or something? Just curious.

Anyway, this was kind of surreal.

@nbesnerson: Oh god, I haven't heard this song in years.

Why did I just watch 30 mins of people getting ready for a panel? Goddamn it GB.
