VERY GOOD

Ben looks so much better clean shaven, maybe even cute in an endearing way.

I don't understand what possessed him to grow that moustache but I'm glad he came to his senses for e3.

Will give this a listen later, haven't heard much from Amy Abbey on the GB videos and podcasts so far.

-oh it's only 5 minutes long https://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/my-first-e3-episode-1/1600-1989/

EA was pretty boring. A Way Out looks awesome though. The stream was funny though. Im sad we didn't get to see Peter Moore emerge out of digital Peter Moores tattoo.

 

[Tubobutts]

He should regrow the mustache. So should Jeff. And Brad.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

we are number one but it's a shitty press conference

I got to the part with the youtube creator talking to the camera

I can tell that he's not used to one simultaneous cut

He needs like 20 cuts in order to make his intro work.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Wait, is We Are Number One ska?

I think the teleprompter broke, but, yeah, it's weaponized embarrassment by proxy.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

yes

yes it is

gb folds upon itself.

Yuuuuuuup

I don't like this one conference on Saturday bullshit. EA isn't special. Their conferences always suck, they don't need one day to themselves.

I say every conference should be on the same day at the same time. Fight over viewers. If your conference is getting outwatched by the other conferences, tough shit. Do better next time and maybe people will care.

still works

I know they have to be consistent for the sake of branding and everything, but I really dig some of the alternate smiling bomb duder art that has been made (like the one for this video thumbnail). Wish they would put out some merch with them on it. That old gap-toothed one for the podcast art is a fav of mine as well...

AMY?

Amy Hennig?

 

[ScaryShark]

Is this thread just going to be a week of these hot fucking takes? Because this is going to get real old, real fast.

I wish people would stop quoting them so much. The guy who admitted to not listening to a podcast anymore because a woman was now on it got quoted multiple times. We definitely needed to highlight that garbage repeatedly.

 

[Karspankey]

After having watched all 7 Fast and Furious films, for the first time, along with probably many of you, I'm am super down for what EA showed of Need for Speed. That's something I would have never thought I'd say since the past like 5 entries have been unappealing to me. Seems to be some Burnout in there too which has me very excited for this overall in terms of both gameplay and story possibilities.

I bought NFS: Rivals as my first PS4 game purchase. I'm down for Payback and I dig the Fast and Furious vibes they're giving.

If they have to stick to 6 people, I wish it was Abby instead of Ben on the E3 panel.

Completely on board with this.

 

[OdysseusVA]

youre fired

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Ben's been amazing so far, you people are crazy.

 

[TraBuch]

Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango or Full Throttle?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Ben seems pretty good so far.

 

[formated4tv]

Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango or Full Throttle?

Full Throttle! I just replayed it for the first time since being a kid and still had a ton of fun with it.

 

[Chumley]

Ben's been amazing so far, you people are crazy.

I disagree, I think Abby has way better chemistry with her crew than Ben does with his.

 

[Zornack]

While we're changing the table can we rotate out Alex? I could do without a snarky comment for every single presenter and trailer.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

now that he's shaved his mustache he's much better

NO

ALEX GIVES ME STRENGTH

 

[ScaryShark]

Definitely replace the guy hired to be a personality with the video producer after 90 minutes and his first time ever doing one of these.

I love Abby but what the fuck.

 

[Antiwhippy]

God this is going to be a thing throughout the whole show isn't it.

 

[Curufinwe]

I love Abby but what the fuck.

The summer of hot takes is here.

 

[mintyice]

Can Jeff Bakalar sit in with them?

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

God this is going to be a thing throughout the whole show isn't it.

Unfortunately​, I feel that it's going to be like this until they both leave.

 

[Chumley]

Can Jeff Bakalar sit in with them?

I wish

 

[formated4tv]

God this is going to be a thing throughout the whole show isn't it.

It's been a thing since Abby/Ben got hired, so it's sure as shit not going to stop during "Why Is Ben On The Screen For Hours On End And Not Abby Expo" the next few days.

 

[Ashby]

If they have to stick to 6 people, I wish it was six Jeff Bakalars instead of Jeff, Brad, Ben, Alex, Vinny and Dan on the E3 panel.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Oh god I recognise so many youtubers during the Battlefront segment from overwatch.

What have I become.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

But guys, Rorie is better than all of them. The cast should be replaced with 6 Rories and they should speak over the last 5 years of the Puppy Bowl rather than the press conferences.

Also for anybody who said Giantbomb were being hypocritical for making fun of influences do you really think GB would ever shill for a corporate gig? They know their a personality driven site, I mean that's what they built GB around, but it doesn't make them the same as Youtubers.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Can Jeff Bakalar sit in with them?

that would be too illegally good

 

[Tubobutts]

If they have to stick to 6 people, I wish it was six Jeff Bakalars instead of Jeff, Brad, Ben, Alex, Vinny and Dan.

I'd rather have 5 Vinnys all bullying 1 Jeff Bakalar.

 

[Hierophant]

Six Hatsune Mikus

 

[Ashby]

I'd rather have 5 Vinnys all bullying 1 Jeff Bakalar.

This is a better idea.

 

[kingocfs]

TIL Abby does improv. Abby rules.

 

[Zornack]

Can we get a stream of Vinny and his family watching the press conferences from a couch?

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'd rather have 5 Vinnys all bullying 1 Jeff Bakalar.

I think that's his purgatory.

Or heaven.

Which would be weirder.

 

[Death Metalist]

Day of the Tentacle, Grim Fandango or Full Throttle?

Hmm that's a very tough choice. I'd go with either Grin Fandango or Full Throttle but I can't choose between the two. It depends on the kind of atmosphere you want I guess.

 

[Nif]

I wish these threads could be less creepy and rude. New guys are doing fantastic.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Is there a reason Ben is on Beast side and Dan is on West side.

Unless he's catching up with Jeff and Brad.

 

[mcrommert]

I disagree, I think Abby has way better chemistry with her crew than Ben does with his.

What is going on with this thread weirdly fetishizing abbey. She seems like a fine hire but she isn't your best girl.

Ben was hired as a personality while abbey and Jason were, like drew before them, hired for production. Especially during e3 the production staff have their hands full and don't have time for behind the camera.

 

[Chumley]

that would be too illegally good

"Do you guys think the running around in that game is going to be any good?"

"Best girl"? I have no idea what you're talking about, I'm just saying she does better job playing off her respective group than Ben does. In my opinion.

 

[funkystudent]

I hope Drew goes to E3 and can pop by.

 

[Death Metalist]

Oh god I recognise so many youtubers during the Battlefront segment from overwatch.

There's no hope for you.

 

[mileS]

Don't you love when people talk about the staff of GB like they are trading cards? I'll trade you this one for that one I can't stand this one. Grow up.

 

[ScaryShark]

I wish these threads could be less creepy and rude. New guys are doing fantastic.

But where else are people going to barf out their unsolicited criticism of people if they don't directly appeal to them immediately in all ways?

 

[ScientificPizza]

Giant Bomb threads stay losing smh

 

[paragonpro]

I like ben, i think they need to get another new guy or gal on there as well though as a personality.
