    Fantastic video. It was so nice to see Jeff answering questions earnestly in a semi-formal environment. I love the way he generally composes himself, but sometimes his casually jaded demeanor can make it difficult to gleam genuine information and opinions from his responses. For people interested in video games and the industry, this might be the most informative videos I've ever seen. Well done!

    Woooh. Great talk. I sometimes do feel like I could quit my current studies and try and make an indie game but the iteration and slaving away on it is just not appealing. But more power to those that do make games. You men and women are most admired.

    Just got to the bit about the Transistor footage and God damn, @jeff, I don't care if you have to get Patrick back in the hot dog suit workin' the late night streets of Shytown for tha scrilla, get Vinny and Drew all the time and support they need to make a mini-series out of that!

    Really great watch. I love the Bombcast and the live shows but I also love seeing Jeff talk "out of character" as it were. Smart duder he is. I hope I get a chance to meet and chat with him some day. Thanks for posting it!

    @supermacguyver: I think the difference is that the people in attendance were asking questions out of genuine interest and not to get a rise out of the community.

    It is definitely pronounced "Iron Brew" Not, "Urn Brew"

    I wonder if there are any places like this NYU Game Center out in Southern California. The events they mentioned in the beginning sound super interesting.

    Lots of intelligent questions being asked and equally intelligent answers from Jeff. Reminds me why I love that duder. Good stuff.

    @jamessmarion: Just wanted to thank you for hosting this talk! I wasn't at the event, but having finally watched the archive, I appreciate that yourself and the attendees were largely big fans of Jeff and Giant Bomb's work, but everyone involved was able to have a cogent, interesting discussion about games without fanboying out. It was really refreshing in contrast to the really embarrassing Q&A sections after most Giant Bomb PAX panels.
