Best of the E3 specials I think. Was interesting seeing the different approaches to marketing.

I hope Bosman goes all the way with the anti-comedy in his stand-up special. That's the only way he can make it work.

Bosman is a pretty good stand up, actually. Somebody posted a old set of his a couple of pages ago.

That Nintendo vibe rating XD

The Nintendo vibe rating is so spot on it's criminal.

I loved the 3rd piece of pizza vibe rating

I forgot who it was for, even, it's just a good rating

if I were to rate a rating it would do well

Sony got the 3rd piece of pizza rating.

MS vibe rating. "we're trying our best" lol

Battletoad butt.

More importantly, that Battletoads butt wart.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING.

 

[Darth Smurf X]

This is awesome. Well played, sir, well played.

 

[Cave Johnson]

I want gifs of all the reactions. So far all we got is shenmue 3

The shock of realization to come up with 1 hour's worth of stand-up was priceless.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Great episode. This is one of the things I've been longing for - just someone walking the floor. Didn't see a lot of that at E3 this year, though honestly I kind of stuck with Gt a lot and they were mainly recording live shows in their own area away from the show floor.

 

[Slackerchan]

I saw Kyle and his camera man as they were filming their walkthrough of the Bethesda booth. Turned out just as good as I thought the bit would be.

The Konami booth was alright. It'd have been much nicer if they allowed people to sit on the "helipad" section while they did their 40 minute demonstrations.

 

[ArjanN]

That makes me never want to go to E3 in person really.

 

[SweetJohnnyCage]

I've been to many trade shows and you're 10x better off watching it at home unless you have to be there for work or are going with friends and making a vacation out of it.

Yeah, that was definitely the vibe I got.

e3 at this point is long past being a fun show to attend as a fan if you're going in thinking you're going to be able to play stuff. lines are ridiculously long. i remember going to E3 during the PS1 era and it was MUCH better. barely any lines at all. same things happened with comic con.

did you watch the huber hype and mandatory update e3 episodes? those were great "walk the floor" + random interviews and shenanigans as well.

 

[AGITΩ]

Dat Nintendo Vibe rating...I havent laughed that hard in a while. That ending to it, the delivery...makes me more excited for his Stand up special.

 

[Zomba13]

All those vibe ratings were perfect. You just understand them completely.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Just started watching lol.... least he admitted to what we all were doing at the just dance booth, checking out that lady's butt. Yup this whole thing was him checking out butts haha.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

that final bets episode LOL



Nice E3 tour episode.

I don't mind the new vibes of E3 and ComicCon now. Production values went through the roof. Still such an experience to go through and see all the stuff. Not to mention all the free swag they give out.

But isn't E3 press only? Doesn't that make free swag bribing? Someone alert GG.

 

[Valkerionseven]

I always wonder this. Like he highlighted, tons of places to get your picture taken, and free swag/places to buy merch... but it's supposedly a press only event. So why have all those set ups. Need to just make public days and stop joking around after all these years. But its always been like this so w/e lol.

Love the bored Lara model being talked up by the millionth dude trying to seem normal though lol. She had that "geeze I want to tell them I have a bf and go away" face haha.

 

[Majine]

Is "the third pizza slice" referring to "This is still good, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm gonna make it through"?

 

[Hasney]

Wasn't there like 5,000 regular people tickets given away by publishers?

 

[wiibomb]

Is "the third pizza slice" referring to "This is still good, but I'm starting to wonder if I'm gonna make it through"?

I understood it as "this is good, but not as good as the first or second and I'm starting to feel full"

 

[PtM]

"Third slice" == "more of the same, but it's still tasty".

It's not press only. Industry only + a few thousand invites (I heard ~3000 maybe ~5000). Industry includes gaming media of course, but also ranges to people who work at Gamestop for example.

Press gets swag outside of E3 anyway, they get sent a bunch of shit to review AAA games then end up selling it on eBay.

No, I didn't. Will definitely seek them out now, though.

E3 is still primarily a retailer conference where reps from Best Buy, Wallmart, and others go to decide how many copies of upcoming games they're going to order for their chains. It's also still fairly easy to get in as enthusiast press, though instead of having a fan website like the old days, you'll probably plug a youtube channel.

 

[FaintColt388301]

A coworker came to my desk right when that green butt was full screen. Thanks Bosman

Ah well, I guess those need some catering to.

Obligatory.

E3 looks decadent as fuck.

Wish we had more showfloor vids of this sort, just touring around. Giant Bomb used to do it, but they don't anymore.

lol decadent...the use of that word just cracked me up for some reason.

 

[OMG Aero]

Next E3 instead of doing an actual video Kyle should just spend his time getting his picture next to everything and that week's Final Bosman can just be a slideshow of his holiday snaps.

 

[Shining Sunshine]

Man, just watched it now.

E3 has not changed from last year when I was there.
Booths are all the same layout.

New episode: "Stupidly Thrilled for Final Fantasy VII Remake"

the sudden realization that the word Remake at the end of a trailer is a privilege that almost nobody has.

I didn't really thought about it and he's right

 

[PtM]

E3 is over, yet Kyle still can’t stop thinking about a dumb CG trailer for a game that’s never coming out.

FF7HD, the new TLG.

 

[Hasney]

Ah Gamespot, you were so right. It was a case of when

Yeah it was actually a really good way of explaining the hype to people who may not be in the know. I found it helpful too, I knew of the tech demo but had never seen it.

 

[Dekanach]

I laughed a lot in the final. Great episode.

How to fail a Kickstarter

 

[fastmower]

Another great episode. Loved the ending bonus!

 

[Darth Smurf X]

That end bit was perfect. 10/10 — will watch again.

If only it would have ended with Huber jumping up and down shouting, "HOW MUCH?! HOW MUCH!?!?!?" 11/10, maybe even 12/10

 

[Zalman]

Great episode. When is the comedy special happening?

 

[kenta]

Man this episode was on point. So true about stretch goals making the Shenmue kickstarter seem less successful than it is, and how they're making it feel like the "complete" game is being held hostage. And the Screw You Factor. Love that he was able to put words on all this. Love it

 

[Drencrom]

Great episode, so much truth regarding

Spoiler

the 'screw you factor', looking like an underdog and the whole "fund our stretch goals to get the complete game" thing so many kickstarters are doing now...

And holy shit, best ending segment in a while hahaha!

Spoiler

Won't back Phillip Dollarfield if it's not a 360 exclusive anymore
