PAX West 2017: the Giant Bomb Panel

That ending was perfect, Lol

Didn't Pokemon Go have the biggest launch ever for any kind of game?

I'm going to send Dan a name tag from my job since he seems really excited about that BWW one.

Jeff looks good in a hat!

I think it's super hilarious that not even Microsoft could prevent Windows Update from fucking up their shit.

Based on the crowd reaction I don't think I'm out of line in suggesting Abby should have gotten some mic time.

That said, great panel as always.

Decided to give the Q&A a shot this year, this is where I had to shut it off. Couldn't get through it unfortunately. It just seemed like a problem that is as easy to solve as ever for GB with the fan subscription and all the new merch.

Panel was fine otherwise but I miss having Vinny's voice up there. Brad's usually quiet so his absense didn't take away from it but Jason's pretty quiet too.

Saying Mario Sunshine is devoid of charm is crazy talk. Like, hate the game all you want, but that's a statement made out of spite.

Also Dan's point of Infinity Ward today being like Lynyrd Skynyrd after the plane crash is super on point. I don't think it really warranted the response, and I'm pretty judging of jokes I find in poor taste

@paugerot: Windows Update runs Microsoft. Skynet has already happened, it's just waiting for the opportunity to strike.

What was with the ending on Smells Like Teen Spirit?

@paulunga: Yeah, as a kid, I fucking loved Isle Delfino. It's a good setting and feels pretty cozy.

Trolling due to the comment about nirvana sucking, I assume.

@tatterhood: Jason made a comment about the smell in the Bombcast. Could be that also.

Little known fact: Giant Bomb's middle name is "Spiraling Out Of Control".

I mean, just watch this panel.

I give you more money question was good. Think of the way twitch lets people donate etc. By not having it you're leaving money on the table.

Dan continues to be the worst.

@9:25 is that Captain Picard?

Y'all are crazy. Mario Sunshine is a very good game.

Love the Mario Sunshine part. I personally liked Sunshine, but clearly understand why so many other people didn't like it. And Jeff's Sunshine review on Gamespot was one of his best.

Who is opening plastic Easter eggs?

Great Panel as always! LOL at that guy wanting to throw more money at them.

The "give more money to GB" is not a new suggestion though. It has been said before when Jeff said stuff they would like to do but dont have the money for like The Raid, TGS travelogue, doing a comedy tour or having a GB event.

She's a producer, she also needs experience doing these types of shows.

Jeff looks good in snapbacks...

Abby did a great job with the editing and the panel was really great, a lot more enjoyable compared to last years even with the hick up at the end.

Dan's Buffalo Wild Wings story and he just asks for a shirt, gets one; asks for a name tag and gets one. God damn it.

If this doesn't nail down the phrase 'ask and you shall receive', nothing will.

Glad that Jason was able to be one of the speakers this year. He always have the more interesting preferences in games.

One of the better panels they have done IMO, it felt relaxed and nice :)

Don't diss Sixpence None The Richer!

Who held the camera? Borderline unwatchable when not showing footage from the stationary cam. Cool panel tho.

Sixpence None The Richer HYPE

(Dan is right, they think Sunshine is terrible because they fail to use the controls.)

You're a phenomenon, Dan Ryckert.

>Mario 64

>good level design

lmfao the level design and camera in that game are a nightmare.

also I disagree that Breath of the Wild isn't (as) replayable (as other Zeldas), I was showing someone the beginning/early parts of the game recently and I was tempted to just go through all of it again. But I still haven't finished or played Nioh, Nier, Horizon, Mario + Rabbids, Resident Evil 7, Thimbleweed Park, Prey, Splatoon 2, Uncharted, Tacoma, Absolver, Pyre, or Night in the Woods.

To the man wanting to give GB more money, I will accept the gift of GB Premium. You're welcome!

I've heard tons of people who played Monster Hunter World for a while and have talked extensively about the movesets, the interactions in the world etc. and it sounds like it will be a fantastic MH game. I'm so excited for it ^_^

Hmm I play some Battlegrounds but imo the game feels very incomplete in terms of amount of content, it doesn't feel polished in terms of performance and controls and visuals, and it's fun... but it's on the level of say Warframe for me. A cool (should be) free to play online shooting game.

It makes me wonder that... if they had played Planetside 2, they would have been blown away by that too? Cause that was a much more complete and polished game that had more (unique things) to offer.

@forteexe21: I;d betray them too for a badass TV changing captain's shirt too haha

I've rewatched that ending a few times and I can't figure out what happened. What happened?

You wouldn't think this was Ben's first GB panel, he looked so relaxed! Looking forward to seeing Abby's. Pretty good questions from the audience, as well.

The ending is great! haha

So is Brad just done with Pax now? He's skipped all but one(West 2016) in the past two years.

@vinny When will the audio version be up?

@tatterhood: I didn't watch the whole panel, kind of skipped through it a bit, but who the fuck said Nirvana sucks? Was it Dan?

@boonsong: Jeff jokingly said "Fuck Nirvana" when talking about "The Man Who Sold The World" cover songs.
