ethics q dude was playing the role of bad question

It was obvious he was attempting a joke, but that made it no less gut churningly awkward.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

That QA sounds fantastic. I'm at the 'Dan Acting like an adult' part.

where can I watch the replay?

 

[BanGy.nz]

where can I watch the replay?

http://www.twitch.tv/pax2/b/633537803 Starts at 3 hours 20 minutes. GB might have a version with better camera angles when Drew and Jason/ edits it.

.

 

[Ketch]

thanks!!!

 

[Rainmaker]

I love watching the awkward Q&A's so much. GB always handles them well.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Man that RB question about the instruments was amazing, with Eric Pope running up and basically calling out the questionnaires shit.

 

[repeater]

I just woke up and read through the thread's reaction to the panel.

Is.. is Dan still alive?

He's an adult now.

 

[Xater]

Oh god this Dan intervention is great. Giant Bomb panels getting hijacked is the best.

 

[Renpatsu]

I just learnt that Dan's birthday is one day before mine.

 

[Xater]

This Q&A is awful. Why am I watching this?

 

[Kelas]

Yeah this is pretty bad. Even the initially-innocuous ones find a way to be weird.

 

[NumberThree]

yeah but jeff whens the raid happening

 

[The Dear Leader]

and Sanctuary looks really cool gameplay wise but I just don't like Ska Studios games art style at all, it just looks bad to me.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah I genuinely can't stand to look at their games.

 

[GavinGT]

I really thought the Dan intervention thing was gonna be Lang bribing him to try different foods. That needs to happen in the future.

 

[Real Hero]

David Brent and Giantbomb Q&A's are the most cringe inducing things in existence.

I thought it was going to be about Mario Party.

 

[Backfoggen]

that seemed like a colossal misunderstanding

he asks Jeff what's up, Jeff goes into this thing about how he's wearing long underwear under his pants because everyone said it was going to be cold, but he's indoors the whole time and he's burning up

then dude is like "anyway," with this perfect comedic timing that made the entire room (including the dudes on the panel) laugh

but he apparently took it the completely wrong way and thought everyone was laughing at him, and then instead of asking his actual question, he breaks down and starts asking some shit like "how do I avoid looking like a dumbass like I just did"

then because they couldn't hear him, he continues to try to ask the question, breaking down further every time

tragic, really

Pretty sure the whole thing about not hearing him was to get him to just say "whatever, heres my question" and he just dug in deeper

Reaally unfortunate tbh

Hah that was tragic. Dude was golden, and managed to crash and burn in a spectacular fashion

All you wrestling haters need to realise that the references are never ever going to stop.

Deal with it.

 

[strafer]

that panel was the worst damn panel I have ever witnessed

and they need to stop with the questions, even though Geoff handles them like a boss, they are awkwawrd and not rleatted to gming.

What are you responding to?

[Owlowiscious]

Has anyone that posts in this thread asked a Q&A question before? I want to reaffirm by belief that we are the least crazy of all the crazy people that follow Giant Bomb.

I have. Many times over several years. All awkward. I think my first question almost a decade ago was to Rooster Teeth: 'Would you trade that $1000 processor for this Sailor Moon blow up doll I have here?'

Spoiler

They said no.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

What are you responding to?

Just saw some wrestling hate in the past few pages that I needed to address. I finally know how anime fans feel like.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So you're saying that anime and wrestling a kindred brothers.

 

[Jothel]

Watching an old happy hour, goddamn whiskey was so fun

The panel itself was great. The Q&A section was awkward at times, but that didn't take away from what came before.

Also for those saying they need to stop doing a Q&A part, doesn't PAX require the panels to have a Q&A section? That's what I've always heard. Not that I think Jeff would remove that part even if he could, but still.

Edit: Any interest in an event thread for the PAX Royal Rumble on Gaming tomorrow? I can make it.

 

[Liamc723]

I feel like some people take the Q&A section way too seriously. Yeah, some of the questions are awkward but just have a laugh at it and know that you're not them.

Yeah, if this thread is any indicator, we're worse.

 

[LeBart]

I thought the Q&A section was funny... /shrug
Jeff's response to the dumbass dude and Eric Pope calling out the armchair analyst were both pretty hilarious moments.

Yeah the panel was nice. I wish they did more videos like the one they filmed with CAH

I at least didn't think it was that bad, and really liked what came before. The CAH video, Jeff reading the Tim Allen book and then tearing it apart, and Dan's game show were all classic GB moments.

 

[Liamc723]

I wish they did more videos like the one they filmed with CAH

Yeah that video was great, I love stuff like that where we get to see some of the showfloor.

 

[Myggen]

Was it April 29th they gave as the likely date for the BLLSL? Sounded like Vinny and Alex would come to SF for that!

edit: I also got the impression that they were close to hiring someone now.

I thought it sounded more like they would do segments from New York

 

[Basileus777]

That sounds logistically complicated.

 

[Myggen]

Oh? I swear Jeff said something along the lines of them "coming over for it" or something like that.

Can't wait for rab to arrive!

 

[GavinGT]

I thought the panel was lame except for the Harmonix thing, Tim Allen, and the wrestling stuff. There's just not enough time in between these things.

Also, Jeff needs to bring back that blazer from the 2013 panel.

 

[Xater]

That sounds logistically complicated.

Why? it would just be switching to a different stream?

Oh? I swear Jeff said something along the lines of them "coming over for it" or something like that.

I'd have to listen to it again. I just remember it not sounding that definitive.

 

[Myggen]

I think you're correct about it not sounding definitive.

 

[hamchan]

I liked Dan grabbing Dave Lang's money.
