Live From SGF: What It's REALLY Like Attending Summer Game Fest

Tom Ryan-Smith· Host0:00

[upbeat music] We did Summer Game Fest, and as you may notice, uh, Sy and Devin are sharing a microphone this time- Yeah ... 'cause we've realized this might be the solution to our audio problems.

Si White· Host0:19

[laughs] And if it isn't, well, new problems, I guess.

Tom Ryan-Smith· Host0:21

Yeah.

Devon McClure· Guest0:22

[laughs] But sharing is caring.

Si White· Host0:23

That's right. Yeah.

Devon McClure· Guest0:23

It's fine.

Si White· Host0:24

Yeah.

Tom Ryan-Smith· Host0:24

[laughs] [laughs] So, it, we, last, the last two podcasts have mostly been about what we've seen at Summer Game Fest.

Devon McClure· Guest0:30

Yes.

Tom Ryan-Smith· Host0:30

And we'll, we'll cover some of that stuff, but actually, we thought this one, the experience of being at Summer Game Fest will be a good thing to talk about.

Devon McClure· Guest0:36

This will be my third and your third SGF.

Tom Ryan-Smith· Host0:55

This will have been, yeah.

Devon McClure· Guest0:55

Yeah.

Tom Ryan-Smith· Host0:56

My third SGF. It's a very different experience to E3 and Gamescom, which are- Yeah ... both chaotic consumer shows as well as journalists' places.

Devon McClure· Guest1:06

Yes.

Tom Ryan-Smith· Host1:06

Summer Game Fest is just for the journalists and the influencers, and sure are some influencers that do attend Summer Game Fest.
