Dis gon' b gud!

I'm here to party.

Wow that thumbnail.

Awesome, can't wait to watch this!

PAX it up, PAX it in, let this video begin.

Thanks for the quick upload, Jan!

@shagge: I came to dig, the GB crew, they flexin' trim.

Dan likes pina coladas, but how does he feel about getting caught in the rain?

Dan: *lives on an island*

Dan: I don't know if I've ever been to an island

Crab legs. I'm hungry

Is Ben sitting on the floor to make Dan and Abby look like people over 5 foot tall?

Man, this was its own kind of shitshow to watch live. PAX GB panels never cease to surprise.

It's a website.

This is bad. Not the Giant Bomb kind of bad. Just straight up bad.

cant wait for the awesome questions at the end!!! -_-

"haaay guys, whats your favorite gaem?"

they could really stand to like... give a bit more focus to these things that isn't just "do whatever"

Puto! Whooo! Wait Jan’s Filipino? Who hooo filipino represent!

hooray!

ben is completely disassociating near the end

haha I've had all the asian cracker snacks at pax. We buy them shrimp crackers, and rice crispy squares fairly regularly at the asian market.

Hour went by too fast!

They took UPF to a whole new level!

The pax panels are never long enough

whats a fella gotta do to get some loose melk at a games convention

No more Dan food crimes until he fulfills his hat eating obligation please.

So why are we complaining now?

PS: Chinese snacks are actually pretty good.

PPS: I am a Chinese.

I almost wen to PAX just to see this panel. Now I'm glad I didn't. :)

I can’t decide if this panel is transcendent art or a complete shitshow. Possibly both.

No Q&A? Just an hour of fuckery? Hell yeah, a watchable pax panel.

I liked this one. More subdued than previous years, but also less swing-and-a-miss-y as some of them have been. Liked the potluck gag.

Really missed them talking about games, especially what was present at PAX. By around the GB panel, you feel you've seen everything, and then they discuss a bunch of stuff you missed.

While normally this was the highlight of PAX, this was a big let down. I'm glad they're doing their own thing, but it's going to miss time to time.

"Get that Gronk in ya!"

Valiant fuckin effort y'all.

Cheese pizza with hot sauce as dessert is the most Dan thing ever.

Oh boy! An internet video with crazy characters eating on the stream?! How cool is thar?! If you.guys aren't careful, this will be copied over and over online. I mean, entire shows will just be about eating stuff on the show. Man! I can't fucking wait!..

..for more eating.....stupid food......on videos......yay..........................................how great.................................glad we paid so much to go see people spending most the time eating gimmick food! Eeeeekkk! :) So absolutely excited. I had to close the video because I couldn't handle how much of a good time that was! It's was really really fun and I really appreciated how you just let us turn off our brain and let the magic take us away! Pax man .....phew

....what an amazing time.....

"you sound like the people who don't want to pay me for breaking my window" lolol

I feel like the past Pax panels were more of a highlight and something worth watching. Now they feel like "whatever". They talk for a while and then its over.

@zinkn: counterpoint: this is a return to form to 2008 giant bomb and i could not have been more thrilled to have seen it live. it was a goofy, fun time and among my favorite GB PAX panels

Best GB Pax panel by far.

@dprotp: I just finished watching. I've been to a couple of their live panels at PAX East before. On the one hand I can see how this one was super low-key and not what we've come to expect from a GB panel (and how that might be particularly disappointing to some of the folks who waited in line for a couple of hours to get a seat). On the other hand, the most significant parts of previous GB @ PAX panels have always been the weird, fun stuff that has absolutely nothing to do with games. This was just a calmer version of that. I don't miss the Q&A segment, which I would likely skip anyways if I was listening to this in podcast form. That said, I'd frankly be shocked if the crew didn't hang around afterwards to talk and shoot the shit with their fans.

Yeah Jan get some Puto BongBong
