PAX East 2015: The Giant Bomb Panel

@citizenjp:

@aegon: I also think it's a good idea to overhaul the panel structure. Even if only to avoid getting stuck in a set routine.

@drewbert@unastrike

Also does anyone have a link to that CaH Jeff and Vinny video? That should really be added to this so people can watch that here.

This

That you misquoted. I think, haven't watched this in a couple of days. "Go pack up your desk" makes more sense in my head though.

Another life goal achieved: I was on a Giant Bomb video! :D

...but I need to work on my mic game, jeez.

why is the wide shot of the crew and the crowd so incredibly out of focus?

Fun panel. QA is awkward as always.

Your questions aren't as funny as you think they are.

They need to have a guy pre-screen the questions for the Q&A in the future to make sure they're actual, interesting questions, kind of like they do in the Reader's Mailbox...

Omg, John Drake and Dave Lang were killing me with that game show segment. THANK YOU FOR SAYING WHAT WE ALL ARE THINKING, ALL THE DAMN TIME! "Be an adult, for once in your fucking life." YESSSSS. PLEASE DOOOOOOOO. lol.

Every time I watch these QAs, I think of how awesome having calls on the bombcast could be. C'mon @jeff you know this to be true.

Why the fuck do things always go Dan's way?!

Watched this live, had to turn it off when this started... it was just.. I couldn't do it.

Drew had to have forgotten to edit in that video right? I mean Jeff must have still had it on his laptop and CAH could have gotten it to him.

Man, CBS corporate office sounds like a nightmare hellscape.

Very psyched for another Big Live Show Live.

Never change socially awkward Q&A session.

Because he's the devil.

2 min in theyre not showing the video..

Yea, a public Q&A is the perfect time for some random people to tell a company who they should hire, and then repeat it 2 more times when they are clearly ignoring you because it's stupid to tell a company who they should hire at their live show. Please just do pre screened questions for Q&A, it's killing me.

Rest of show was fantastic, wish they did a hour long video of Jeff and gang rolling and trolling around the pax floor, would be the best content to come out of pax, that video at the start was magical, shoulda been edited into this video. I'd say one day Dan is going to break and need therapy for all the bullying coke fiend Drake gives him, but I think he really is impervious and actually loves it.

I love the part where there is a super funny video that no one points a camera at! Good Job! Lol.

Those mad reccos

Holy shit. It all makes sense now...

I feel like we should all take a moment and acknowledge that if we DID have a time machine, we would totally use it to kill Hitler.

@galvano: I think they did that for a premium video Q&A in a bar for PAX Prime. That turned out much better. But yeah, Q&A's won't be as good as that Galgun phone-in ever again.

So weird that they didn't show the video at the beginning. Very odd. Not GB like at all.

Why was that CAH video removed?

Gonna assume they weren't able to obtain that video file and overlay it like they thought they would, or someone just plum forgot while editing.

"Do you think there should be ethics in games journalism?"

"Nah, dawg."

Hahah.

The funny thing about the missing CAH bit is right after it ended, it switched to the wide shot showing both the stage and the screen the entire room had just been watching.

God, that was painful, especially because his response to Jeff's mundane-ass pants story was funny as hell.

Heh I don't know what it is about the GB panels that it always ends up that way. If you watch the making video sausage panel that is up on Gamespot, all the Q and A questions were fantastic.

Video got re-upped with the CAH video in the beginning, thanks Drew!

I'm gonna make a compilation of the most cringe-worthy PAX Q&A moments from 2008-2015. The process might kill me.

I cringe everytime

Since no one called out my "Question" in the Q&A for being lame or awkward, I'll call it a win.

I like how Jeff and Vinny can walk around there like they own the place

Oh God. 25:50 is the best and worst thing Brad's ever done.

"I feel distinguished" Jeff Gerstmann.

haha, this is great

Seriously Tim Allen, god dammit.

Thanks!

Dear lord that q&a section, especially 1:27 and around 1:31:40 ish.

I wish dan got to keep that money

Why does GBeast need a third person, exactly?

Collusion!

Boy, these questions. F game brought.

yeah i've no intention of watching that part haha

Holy shit a lot of those questions were cringe worthy. Step your game up Giant Bomb community.

Thanks for your time....

Please screen the questions! Or don't, it's kind of a guilty pleasure.
