Complicated? Please...



And thats only the town centre
Actually, i just got back from London for vacation and the tube was super simple to use. plus there were guys working there who could tell you where to go if you get lost. Boston's transport looks even simpler.


also, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT YOUNG JUSTICE!!!!!!!!!!!! DARN YOU CARTOON NETWORK!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video Bob, I bet you were eager for PAX Boston so you could unleash that awesome accent.

Pppfff, You call that a Leif Eriksson statue

...is a Leif Eriksson statue

Btw, loving the accent there Bob
That's the Reykjavik Leif statue isn't it? :)

The church shaped like a basalt crystal he's standing in front of is also quite a sight. :)

Forget PAX, I'm going to Boston for all the other awesome stuff!

And, I don't know about anyone else, but I think Bob's gotten thinner since saw him in live-action last. He seems to tweet at the gym a lot, so I guess it's really paying off. Maybe I should start doing that whole "gym" thing.

Wait, did you just call a city in the USA "really old"? I think the rest of the world just had a collective laughing fit...

I don't think my accent is that bad, and english isn't even my first language. Seriously, he doesn't sound 'merican.

That being said, it was a nice episode! The only convention I've been able to go was Gamescom in Germany, but I was there only a day and you just can't see everything in just one day.

Also the Boston Common is the best place for parking as there is a huge parking garage under it. I was going to go to PAX as I live just south of Boston but the tickets were sold out the day they came out.

Yeah, Boston! Hometown represent! Go Sox, Go Pats!

Good tour Bob and I love your accent, don't have one myself although my dad does. I went to the Museum of Science all the time as a kid and I actually have a picture and video of me being lifted up in a cage for the Van De Graaf generator to shock. Its actually pretty sick, I need to find it. Wish I could go to PAX this year but I'm poor and busy so I have no such luck.

It looks like a lovely city, thanks for the little tour Bob. Since I don't have much money and it would cost a lot to travel there, I won't be heading to Pax any time soon :(

I suspect most people at Pax East will be too busy being at PAX East to even see this video...

Ok, what is the big deal with PAX Prime/East? I just don't get it. Both had about 70,000 attendees in 2011 (the most recent year I can get the stats from) whereas New York Comic Con had over 105,000 the same year. NYCC is the sister con for San Diego Comic Con (which is *the* Con), is way bigger than PAX, is held in a better city, and yet it gets hardly any attention anywhere. What's the deal with that?

P.S. - Red Sox suck. GO YANKEES!!

Thanks for the video, Bob! Boston is a wonderful city. You made me realize how much I miss the couple of summers I spent there.

Are you allowed to go to the children's museum if you are not a child or if you do not have children?

I ask because that place looks fun.

Very nice video, Bob. I get having that hometown pride when something you like is in town, like the GDC at San Francisco. I liked that joke on Assassin's Creed cosplayers. "Don't climb on the historic buildings!"

"We have found the last Van Gogh, it is in Boston, commence operation Retrieve Lost Ear"

I expected Bob to be more portly. Also Boston looks allot like Amsterdam public transport wise. A bit less complex though with basically straight lines going everywhere from a central point.

Figuring out how to use the T seems a doddle compared to London's Tube. Seriously. Naming train lines after the colour you'll use on the map? Amateurs...
How droll to see the lower class cities play at public transportation! They even have a Silver line instead of a Grey line. How the peasantry can be so upliftingly optimistic about common things.

More live-Bob during Big Picture, less echo during live-Bob and I think we got a good (fully optional) addiotion to the show, assuming it isn't too much extra-work.
Which is probably is...
