I imagine ketchup chips to be like salt and vinegar if you replace the salt with sugar.
Man that sounds disgusting.

this page is fucking disgusting
Don't mock until you try.
I remember it being a sweeter, less salty BBQ chip.

There needs to be a garlic aoli chip.

Fucking amazing.
You know what? at least the Powerpoint part of this year's panel was right. Also I wish i could have ever done a slide as cool as this one.

Mackies are the best. They got sent the haggis flavour in a mailbag.
It also sounded to me very much that GBeast would be physically going over. Before the panel, the first time they mentioned BLLSL coming back (during Jeff and Dave Lang's conversation at PAX South) I assumed it would be a mix of two streams.
They do have an increased travel budget, after all. It's always been a good way to drive subs.

I'll need to try these when I'm over.

Just catching up with the panel, and maybe it's my hangover talking, but what a shit-show.
Jeff was working overtime holding it together but the guys didn't seem into it - Brad doing his usual act of shutting down tangents without bringing anything to the table, and Vinny seemed quiet. Props to Alex & Dan for doing what they could given their circumstances.
The Harmonix thing was good in theory, but I really hope Dan was lying about it being a surprise. Seems like an awful thing to spring on someone with anxiety issues and could have went really bad.
Q&A didn't make any sense. We had like two (or more?) PAX's with some good/inoffensive questions, but this time all the freaks come out in force to attempt irony and humour? Felt bad for the "look like a dumbass" guy, was just a misunderstanding gone horribly wrong.
Greg's short segment was the highlight. Dude always brings it and his improv skills on a mic are as good as Jeff's.

I think the only time the audience/fan questions have been consistently good in a live environment were the early Radio Dave shows, specifically the Amazon outage one.

You need to get your home fried ones man. I find chinese restaurants to use crackers that are too porous and too sweet. The ones that my family fry is thick and crunchy with a more umami flavour from the prawns.
Basically they need to look like this. Guess these variants originate from malaysia/thailand which what I'm more used to.

I have no problem with genuine questions, but people trying to be funny is just ugh...

You're a big guy.
WHAT THE FUCK
Can't wait to have time to watch this panel given the mixed reviews here in the thread. It is sure to be interesting, if not necessarily good. But I'm optimistic!
Doing live event such as these is difficult and I have enormous respect for those who have an aptitude (and those who don't but give it a go anyway) for it. Because it is really, really hard and experience only goes so far because there are so many unexpected elements.
Vinny has always been quiet on panels. Also, Dan said his anxiety don't act up during panels now, I don't think that was much of a risk at all.
This is too cool for school.
That's pretty sweet!

Heh, nice. Did you strong arm Eric Pope into having Found Me The Bomb on the Rock Band 4 disc lineup?
Haggis is amazing, I want it now. With 'neeps 'n' tatties, mmmmmmm.

They never said that the office situation was the reason why the date was uncertain, just that the date was still uncertain (being about 2 months away and all). So I wouldn't take that as an indication of anything.

They will probably do a segment from NY. Even mentioned the date being uncertain because their office/internet stuff not being sorted out yet.

As a fan of offal it's something I want to try one day.
I share dan's policy that all animals are tasty.

omg the "how do I not look like a dumbass" thing had me rolling hard. Too perfect.
how have we come to this
to haggis.
The best part of that was when he said "Naw you guys are fuckin' with me!"

Yep. Easily on par with the Office for cringe inducing things. Heck, Giant Bomb Q&A might even be a better cringe comedy for a while until you realize that it's real people asking the questions, then it gets a bit sad.
That one guy who actually got legit laughs from the crowd and the Bomb crew but thought they were laughing at him. Goddamn, talk about turning a glorious moment into one of the most painful things I've ever seen at a GB Q&A. Then Geff burning him at the end was hilarious, but man, I bet that guy feels extra crap after that.
I might try one before binning them but usually they're gross. Smell awful too, but:
these do look nice, and I'm not at all opposed to the idea of them.
You should try to watch a Q&A at a place like Comic Con when there's a geek's favourite female actor on a panel.
Oh no... Is it as bad as I'm imagining?
