He said something in the Sony conference thread yesterday morning. Something along the lines of, "I'm glad some of you enjoyed the show!"
Here's his post

Seriously!
It's the perfect reaction for the whole Sony Conference.
It was a dream conference. Go Huber/Bosman!

a gaffer made it. dragon...something. his username escapes me at them moment.
?
the rest of my post you cut out already said I have no problems with their reaction.
I was commenting on you being over others having opposite reactions to you on games you love. If games aren't serious business, you really shouldn't give a shit what someone says about them. You say positive reactions on games shouldn't be frowned on but neither should negative reactions. They're just games after all.

probably best to ask them for hi res images that could be used at a printing company.

If it makes you feel better, I had to go to the bathroom during the FF7 remake reveal.

I can't believe people are actually criticizing others for getting excited over this. This is one of the best E3's of all time. This is years and years of build up for a lot of us to see these games we loved during our childhood come back in a big way. Seeing the way it can make an adult feel that child like excitement is a beautiful thing.
Watching him walk out to a full applauding crowd, artwork and "Shenmue III" on the big screen behind him... oh man, what an emotional moment.
If you knew Huber you'd know it was all 100% genuine, and his friends there with him knew how much of a deal this was.
Huber's a guy who, as Bosman and Brad were talking about earlier, randomly gets depressed somedays and when someone asks what's up he just replies "Just thinking about Shenmue 3 man, how the story will never be finished"

Thank you. These are bad ass and I thought the title change in that thread was a mod trolling, unfortunately.
Watch Huber describe Bloodborne during one of their e3 recaps. I don't think he was forcing it at all.

I believe this is a good quote for this thread:
Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.

That and I just honestly dont think Valve care about something like Half Life 3 anymore. I would love to be wrong and I will lose my shit if it happens one day but I just dont see Valve making it. They are more into making stuff like Dota and CS:GO it seems now days. Mostly F2P stuff or cheaper smaller titles. Something like Half Life 3 which would be a huge budget single player experience just doesn't seem like the type of thing Valve does anymore.
Discussion is fine, but there is a lot of name calling involved ("GB are synical fucks!" "GT are overreacting clowns!") and it is clear some people want to just shit on either GB or GT, not have a real discussion. That stuff bothers me.

Dammit. I should have known.
I don't think Half-Life 3 is really as big of a deal as Shenmue or FFVII. C'mon now

Tearing up about a video game announcement is a grown-up thing, I've decided so.

Its a bigger deal than Shenmue unquestionably. Not than FFVII though most likely

It's such a great universe.
There are other universes in the multiverse where this didn't happen.
Do you have the time marker?

I don't know, man. We seem to be looking at this from different angles and can't see what the other really means. I don't know where I said I gave a shit about what others say about games I love. Maybe the comment on Giant Bomb, but I made that comment only to illustrate that I stuck with them a long time and I didn't sour on them simply because they aren't Shenmue or FF VII fans. But because they hate everything. And it got old for me. They're free to do whatever the hell they want to on their site.
The larger point I was attempting to make was that the GT guys shouldn't be looked down upon merely because they showed emotion during these reveals. Its not necessarily directed at you.
Let's just agree to disagree and move on because we seem to be speaking 2 different languages. And yes, that's on me just as much as anyone else.
Half-life 3 is a huge deal, at least as big as shenmue and FF VII.
Really? I just don't know many people IRL that have played HL games I guess

If jumping out of your seat and hugging your bros during a historic announcement during a GAMING conference rustles adult's jimmies, I don't want to grow up. It's not like this was a somber business meeting between investors.

Half Life 1 and 2 sold waaaaay more copies than Shenmue. I'm as excited as anyone for Shenmue III but the 2nd game was a flop. Both Half Life games were gigantic.
FFVII though in terms of sales potential is the biggest though

There is a good reason Shenmue was the third final ultimate reveal.
If you want joyless, uninspired, emotionless, cynical pessimism you are always free to tune in on Giant Bomb instead. They seem to be more down your alley, and I promise you, not more than a few smiles were shred during the announcements.
Awkward it didn't on my phone. Thanks for responding. I'll check it out.

Its the most surprising. Its not the biggest game. Not by a long shot lol. I mean Half Life 3 and FFVII will dwarf it in sales.

The order makes sense.
They started off with Shu's baby, TLG. They transitioned into third party, then capped that with FF7R. Shenmue was arguably the least likely of the three, so it made sense for that to be the final high point before showing off UC4.
Few of the friends I was with look at me and asked what it was and why I was going nuts.
I said "do you see that Dreamcast down there"
"Yes"
"That's the reason I own one, the game is not for everyone but once you get soaked into it, its fucking beautiful and will amaze you for how old it is."

1:05:54 Gerstmann starts bitching about it, 1:06:50ish is where the blonde dude starts.
EDIT: don't know how much more I can take of this
No worries mate it's not that big of a deal. Here's to hoping that Shenmue and Final Fantasy turn out alright.
Obliterator

Yeah exactly. Shenmue is incredible but its not as big of a franchise as Half Life or Final Fantasy by a long shot. Not to say Shenmue wont be a huge success but I mean FFVII sold something like 15 million copies. Its not even close
Well, friends are interested in it. I told them they can borrow my discs and just run an emulator to enjoy the game. Or just buy a gosh dang Dreamcast for $20 on eBay lol

I never understand why it's cool too be super hype about sports like football,soccer,etc. Every time I go to a bar and see how fans react to someone scoring a touch down or a goal they get crazy into it but when people get really into something video game related it's called childish. I'm not saying sports fan have no right to get overly excited or any kind of fan , it's just people need to understand that people get hype for all kinds of crap and everyone is unique to how they react and not everyone is going to react just like you because if everyone where the same then life would suck.
Most the Giantbomb dudes have been doing this for a while now so I'm not surpised that they don't jump for joy for final fantasy 7 or whatever instead that they get excited for stuff like VR or AR because that's a new thing that might actually change their industry in a big way and also maybe they just don't care for final fantasy or The last Guardian which is cool I'll still laugh and watch whatever they do I cause I could care if they don't react like a certain way.

I really haven't understood this whole "giantbomb is full of nothing but cynics" thing going around this E3. Like you said, they don't jump around for announcements but there is plenty of stuff that they have talked-up.

I was stunned at the GB reaction to FF7 when I went to check it out afterwards. It was my first GB experience, I thought they were going to be funny voice overs to the drier conferences. But they were just cynical assholes. These guys reacted how I'd have reacted if i wasn't incredibly stoned at 3am. Excellent stuff
