I think it would be better if they didn't go to the big press conferences and just streamed their live reactions from whatever shithole they rented this year.
The console reveal and gamescom streams are some of my fav GB videos.
But then those cool "E3 Day _" videos would be shorter so it wont be all good.

I wonder if GB will return to the porn place this E3.

I would love to see live reactions to E3 conferences. As you said those streams from last year were pretty great.
Nah, different place, perfectly clean.
But it'll be a porn place when they're done with it.

Jeff said he was excited about the provisional space they have for E3. I really hope they don't hint at the location any further than that given what happened last year.
I understand the legalities behind it, but it's still a bummer that they never fully said exactly what and how the theft happened last year.

Also, without turning this thread into a downer, I am a bit skeptical about how GB's E3 will go this year without Ryan. The guy was great at making random people engage in an interesting conversation with each other. I do not think anyone else on the GB team has that innate talent. Sure they have the talent at coming together to create an amazing, interesting clusterfuck, but that can only take you so far.
They get a bunch of developers and a bunch of booze in a shitty/crazy location and stream video for hours.
Literally.
I want them to go back to the old Bomb House...
Is it kinda like what they did for GDC this year then?

Patrick did a great job at E3 last year, especially with the Cliffy B/Blow segment where without him it could've gotten really dumb and off-track in a bad way. I'm not that worried about how it'll go (the GDC stream this year was really good), but if they keep him in the room the whole time this year it'll be great.

I'm sure the equipment will never be left alone or unsecured ever again at E3.
My biggest fear is that Ryan was the talent wrangler, right? He was always the guy who booked all the guest and even though the shows at times would get out of control he was good about keeping it under control and he always picked people who were like minded where as some personalities clashed at the GDC stuff.
Long as Jeff brings in Justin McElroy i think everything will be ok.
Is all that stuff archived on the GB site?
I can't be certain, but I would put money on it being thieves who troll known studio-for-hire locations waiting for people to leave their gear unattended.
When we've done shoots, we're always warned about this and our company has a standing policy of hiring agency security guards if we're leaving equipment overnight.
Thieves know that most studios-for-hire have very little security (they're just empty spaces with a few props so even CCTV is rare) aside from a keypad alarm which most renters leave off because getting everyone to remember the code is a hassle. Watching these places is lucrative because stolen pro gear sells so well on the black market - there are thousands of freelancer filmmakers always looking for a good deal and won't ask questions.
If it's that bad in London, I bet it's 100 times worse in LA.

They barely did those last year, I wouldn't be shocked if they just didn't bother this year unless they get more video people in by then. Which is a shame, because it's some of their best content.

I have this moment on my PSVita and still kinda watch it again from time to time. It was the perfect endcap to E3 last year and the whole wave that Sony was riding. Are still riding? Who knows, in any case it's always great to have Adam and/or Johnny V doing Giant Bomb stuff with the guys.
They didn't lose any footage, but I think they skipped one day of streaming.

It's probably for the best, I doubt CBS would allow a video of Alexis and Drew dirty dancing.

Can someone put the time of your life music over the video and upload to youtube? This was a magical moment and I really enjoyed it.

Yeah I didn't even really realize this until he was gone. He was so good at what he did and it seemed so natural that you just flow with it.

Actually if I remember correctly, Alex was the only one that gave any attempt to get input from Evilore in the conversations. Everyone else seemed to ignore that he was there at all.

Of course they won't top it. Ryan won't be there.
Ah, the memories
Hey, that's my .gif!
Bummed that I'll be missing out on E3 and Giant Bomb's coverage this year.
