Best of Giant Bomb: 148 - Dark Times

yes!

I too skipped my graduation with a friend. Seemed like just a waste of a few hours and money when the real diploma is mailed to you anyway.

Sometimes the best of times happen during the darkest of times.

Brilliant

Brilliant ending to this. Great job as always, Derek!

The beginning is already amazing. Well done Derek.

"Is that Rorie's monitor?"

Perfect

Thanks for putting in all the work man. Always love these.

The reaction to Kingdom Hearts III was priceless.

I missed Brad's waifu comment when I watched the original stream. That's an extremely apt description of a waifu.

The ending is perfection.

A+

Excellent job!

Dan is a Make-a-Wish kid who just won't leave

jeff is so cool. He dislikes almost everything.

Ben, I respectfully disagree. Are you telling me that Sami, Sasha, and Sonja were not waifu material? Advance Wars had waifus!!!!

Can somebody explain the Rorie's monitor joke?

@gfuoo447: He got an ultra-wide monitor awhile back.

Dan not knowing that pirates steal things and everyone else's reaction to this revelation was the best moment of E3.

He owns a big fancy curved 4K gaming monitor he's talked about on a few occasions.

Holy shit that ending is great!

Man, they really bring the heat for Best of's at E3.

Rorie's monitor looked great.

Skipped my graduation to watch this

@jume1989: Let me guess, you like Funco and Kingdom Hearts.

Even 22 minutes long, i still need more. E3 week delivered.

I love this dumb website

Kessler segment was the best part of E3. Loved every second.

This was beautiful.

"Me, Matt Kessler, America's Sweetheart"

dead

"Dan and the Pirates Realization" is

...a great band name

...my favorite moment of 2018

Very well done, thank you.

The Rorie monitor joke by Vinny was savage. The ending of this video was super good too.

That pirate moment is an all time classic.

Ben - It's a real phoenix down moment.

Jeff - NO !!!

Dan: I mean I get it

Jeff: NO YOU DONT

Kessler's speech is maybe the best moment in Giant Bomb history.

I love the immediate reaction to Dan...

Brad notices it but decides to ignore it. Ben is so flabbergasted he can't form words. Vinny shoots a cold glance across the table.

"Wait, what?"

Chaos ensues.

Best is a tough call but it's up there. I just enjoy Dave Lang's utter defeat at Kessler's hands. Not only was he the best thing that happened during that whole segment where Dave typically shines, he also got his Twitter back after trending. Kessler has been great since he was an intern but this certainly put him in the upper tier of Giant Bomb lore. I like to imagine Dave will think twice next time he encounters Kessler in his Business Zone.

This is a good website

The only thing that would have made the banjo better would have been someone in the crowd yelling "play freebird!"

The best part about Vinny's quip about Rorie's monitor is that you realize he wasn't even there for the times Rorie has brought it up, since they were primarily on UPF.

I love GB but they couldn't be more wrong about that Nintendo Direct.

Beautiful ending.
