Giant Bomb @ E3 2017: <>

That is the point

but it never works for them. They can never hold it, they've tried dozens of times before. Their only successful streaming game is FIFA
You never know, no one could have guessed that LoL would be bigger than Dota and stay bigger after Dota 2 came out.
You just spray and pray with these things.

I betcha this was the cheapest E3 conference EA has ran. Flying out these influences and putting them in a room to play games probably costs a 1/3 of what it took to get Zach Effron out there to just smoke some weed and play BF. I guess at least people interfacing with the games and e3 actually like the games and know about them. It still is equally as awkward and shitty..
 
I'm not sure I like how the press conferences are spread out this year. With Microsoft moving up to Sunday, Monday feels less exciting. I liked the block of 3 press conferences in previous years, with MS starting it out, and Sony finishing it up.

I don't understand how you can be into GB and not at least understand where this twitch streamer stuff comes from. Like, they sort of were on the ground floor of getting people to watch them play games. It's now just blown up and become monetized and raided like everything eventually does.

I think it's just the type of content. Watching Giant Bomb is like sitting on your friends couch watching him play video games. Watching a lot of these young new fangled streamers is like someone banging a trash can with a club horn while opening up FIFA packs.

It's either really funny or really sad that it probably cost Giant Bomb $5-10K to cover this awful conference, just because EA insisted on jumping the gun a day early.

I love Giant Bomb & Friends.

Alex & Pope getting into a Twitter war with Tom Sizemore.
Drakes having a ball watching on the sidelines.
Brad announced his departure.
Rories posting World Record Dog Long Jumps

and only one of these things is made up.

Should I watch the GB talking over EA or does the press conference not even warrant that? Just got home.

It's not a bad way to waste an hour. There's nothing that's going to be as memorable and immortal as Weed3 or HoopGod. Someone will probably put together a good highlights reel.
