what is this alleged event

Jeff Gerstmann ‏@jeffgerstmann

Heading off to Microsoft's evening event, then after that I'll join our love show, which will probably already be in progress!

Unknown. I bet it's for the 720.

Yeah, it's still some of the best. Jaffe was amazing. The poor Naughty Dog guy though. I still feel bad for him.

Wonder if we'll get a rematch. It's rumored Cowboy is back one of the nights, and so is Jaffe.

But we cannot be surprised by Sherlock Holmes :( :(( :( :(

I hope this starts soon.

This is always the highlight of E3, especially when they get some good people for banter. And the break music is likely going to be excellent.

Fair enough, but I don't see why you're coming to their defense like this...
No one back at Gamespot headquarters to update the website for them?
I don't use Twitter. If I wasn't following this thread after checking the website I would have missed out on the livestream.

Good point. I suppose I was a bit on the 'Giant Bomb Defense Force'. My apologies.

I guess it made sense to me that they wouldn't commit to a time after the backlash they incurred after last year.

don't think it's premium.

Do hope to see what they make of that green screen stuff they did (think that behind the scenes bit was premium)

I agree. Some of us can't monitor a thread or twitter constantly.

Did they take on interns again? Seeing some unfamiliar names uploading videos. (Wasn't 'danielcomfort' the deep-voiced intern?).

They don't have interns anymore at the moment.

Marino is someone heavily involved in the community, and is basically an unofficial staff member, from what I've seen in the past.

I'm aware that they let their interns go. I'm referring to the people uploading the videos: 'thomasd', 'danielcomfort', 'marino'. Are they freelancing, what's the deal? And I think danielcomfort was an intern, the deep-voiced one.

Pretty sure they're on the mod staff, if nothing else.

Who do they have on tonig--...

Pachter? Mm. Green and Sessler should be decent, I guess.

Last year had one really decent bit with some insightful comments re: the industry. I think it was from someone at Naughty Dog. Edit: yep.

Last year had gaming incite from Cowboy and Jaffe (plus Jaffe's First Dead Body story), the Sherlock Holmes PC games (you play as John Watson!!!!111), and Trench salutes

Thomas and Daniel are video production people. Marino is a mod. Thomas was with giantbomb when GB was part of whiskey media but aprrently he didn't get carried over. Glad to see that hte video production team this year isn't just Vinny and Drew.

All good moments, but still chasing the Leigh/Sims Gang signs/Outside-the-House Pirate Bombcast moments from a couple years ago.

To be fair to them, they've had "June 4th E3 Day 0 podcast" on the Upcoming Features box since they did the Star Wars Galaxies thing in December. You could have just googled "twitter ryan davis" and found that tweet. You can check someone's twitter feed without "using twitter" on your phone or whatever. It's not exactly a secret that they podcast nights after E3.

They could be better about promoting their more spontaneous live stuff though.

Thomas did get carried over. Jeff mentioned him by name in at least one of the office videos.

I don't recall this at all. Care to refresh my memory?

It doesn't really do it justice to just describe it as apposed to hearing it on the podcast with their laughs and inflections but basically Patrick gets a demo of Ridge Racer on vita and the guy makes a big deal of changing the camera view, to the point of the guy telling him "DO IT FOR AS LONG AS YOU LIKE" and Patrick not knowing what to do. Later in a perfectly timed moment about something else during the podcast Patrick just goes "CAMERA CHAAAAANGE. Like I said, funnier to hear it
