No panel with all of them? Bummer.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

I don't think I've watched the last couple of PAX panels, my interest feigned in them. Its like watching NXT, the fans/crowd is just too insufferable.

 

[mnz]

I would love for them to go to anything else than PAX at this point. Especially TGS would be great.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

How did they add a map that is even worse than the 2 other ones?

im sorry what

The worst part of any fandom-driven panel (as opposed to an educational one) is when, in the Q&A, they inevitably get those "in-joke" questions that are meant to be funny, but are really just the most cringe-inducing 20 seconds imaginable. A gem from one of the panels was when Dan was relatively recent to the crew, all his "eccentricities" were still novel, and someone just asked "This question is for Dan; are you really like that?" The wording may be a bit off, but it was something like that.

It was meant to just be a funny jab or something, but it landed with a thud and I had to look away from the screen until he walked off.

I've come to not give a shit about anything related to PAX these days. I hope they do MPP Live and that's it.

 

[Meguro]

im sorry what

Yes.
I don't know how they did it but the new beta map is worse.
It's kinda impressive honestly.

 

[kvothe]

It's weird going to California or Idaho and forgetting there aren't people to pump your gas for you.

Yeah, even a couple months after living here, I went to visit a friend in Washington and sat around waiting for someone to pump my gas before remembering it's only an Oregon thing.

 

[FStop7]

I still haven't played the Bangkok map, how is it?

One night in it makes the tough guys crumble.

 

[Volotaire]

I like their PAX content. It might not be as extravagant as in the past, but it's like a bonus podcast.

 

[justjim89]

i was watching broad city the other day and pat baer is totally in that show

Wait, really? Where?

 

[sammyCYBORG]

PAX used to be great content but gets worse every year and there are too many of them.

Plus it kills content which is already slow to roll out.

 

[popo]

I should bloody well hope The Economist knows a thing or two about holding onto your money

I dunno, they are still invested in print media in 2016.

The dream team. I wish I could afford to go to SXSW, regardless of whether this was approved.

 

[Meneses]

The GB support team (I don't know if it's just Rorie - in my case it was him) is indeed fantastic. Probably the best i've dealt with.

 

[Giganteus]

Yes.
I don't know how they did it but the new beta map is worse.
It's kinda impressive honestly.

I played a few rounds in it and...yeah. I'm now very curious what the rest of the maps are like.

No panel with all of them? Bummer.

Maybe it'll turn out alright.

"HOW DO I NOT LOOK LIKE AN ASSHOLE RIGHT NOW??"

 

[MassiveNights]

Mixing with CAH means the panel will probably be better than "Jeff Gerstmann stands up and fills dead air for 35 minutes then questions" this year.

 

[BUNTING1243]

i remember being really caught off guard by how amazing on-stage jeff is during the first pax panel he hosted.

he really carries them

 

[Volotaire]

Chat is up

As long as they don't actually play CAH. I love that game well enough, but it's done to death.

 

[No_Style]

I watched one PAX panel and that was enough for me to ignore them. None of it feels natural. Mario Party Party will be the only PAX related content that I watch.

I think the panels are better than you give them credit for, but to each his own. Treat them like a bonus podcast for that week.

The questions are rough, no doubt.

Chat is up

Speaking of dead air

 

[Bacon]

I'm sure pax panels are a lot of fun to be at live. That's about all I can say for them

 

[killroy87]

Chat is up

Out of curiosity, does anyone here participate in the chat? I never have.

 

[Zaph]

Yup. I mean, he's spent most of his life in front of an audience, but it's still crazy how comfortable he is on stage.

 

[Volotaire]

A couple of times. The first time I commented, Vinny answered my question on stream which was swell.

 

[pizzacat]

I like to give them wrong information

I do ocasionally, different username though.

I really hope you were the Alt F4 person. I need to rewatch that.

 

[repeater]

Brace for No Man's Sky. Jeff will go back to see if the animals he named have reverted back to default names.

Spoiler

GB GOTY 2016, it's got Jeff bad, you heard it here first.

The podcasts have a format though and that really really helps, as loose as it is.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I'm home in time to see all of UPF! Let's get this weekend going!

KESSLER

DAVE!!!!!!!

 

[Teddified]

oh god haha

 

[Volotaire]

YOO!

 

[DrFunk]

oh my godd

 

[repeater]

Who are these people up in my GB?

 

[Rainmaker]

I like the PAX panels a lot and GB does great with Q&A but "cringe" questions don't bother me as much as they entertain me. Not a huge Temkin/CAH fan but there are a a couple of CAH personalities that I like.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

It's like Christmas in August.

 

[Twin Tails]

Fix the site dave

 

[funkystudent]

 

[KingKong]

has he always been this huge

 

[Kalor]

Hopefully Kessler is playing Farmville later.

 

[Giganteus]

This is already great.

 

[alr1ght]

Motherfucking Hardcore Dave returns.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

He said Flight Club out loud!

 

[Rainmaker]

Kessler is legit

 

[santeesioux]

I'm down with a benchmark stream.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

OH MY GOD this is the happiest moment of my life
