That seems accurate. The 15 minute EA Sports segment is always a snooze fest at the EA conferences. Let`s hope they just go through the games quickly and don`t drag it out with another Pele appearance.

Correct. The GB stream starts in 4 hour, the actual conference in 4 and a half.

With Battlefield, Titanfall and Mass Effect EA seems to be in a better position this year than usual to actually have a good conference that could leave GB exited as well.
It's still EA though so at least half is going to some boring/dumb stuff that is basically just a waste of time.
Pele is actually still wrapping up his story from last year, ready to tell a new one TONIGHT.

The conference cold opens with Pele still sitting in that chair and talking to an auditorium of dehydrated games' journalists.

Then maybe Sega will start on Friday before them!
This is madness!!!!!

Playing Robobot for a bit before everything starts up. Kirby has very quietly been one of my absolute favorite series, I always completely forget about them but just devour any new ones that come out.

Works every time.
To be fair, Prey 2 is still under wraps. It's my most anticipated game of the conference. I want to know what it is now.
I fully intend to execute on this tactic
That's true. I fear that it's just gonna be a generic FPS though, or at least the trailer will make it seem like one. Hope I'm wrong.
I need to add Danny to Periscope to get notifications.
Edit: "This guy is playing Shenmue over here", lol.

I'll probably miss EA so I'm wondering how long will it take for an archive to go up? Or does Youtube do that automatically?
youtube is there right away on the same URL, you can even REWIND while it's still going
Pretty much necessary for me. Bethesda starts at 4.30 am.
Last year, sometimes you had to wait once it ended. It seemed to take some time to fully update with an archive, sometimes it was instant.
Yeah, it depends on how smoothly they output to Youtube. If there's production problems causing them to stop and start (which breaks youtube's auto archiving/rewind), you have to wait for someone to manually republish it to the channel.
Yeah, was that the launch of YouTube live streaming though? Not sure if it was due to volume of streams or it's just more consistent now.
It should be pretty instant as long as the YT stream goes smoothly.
Last thing i remember them talking about the Mass effect franchise was during the most disappointed game of that year (was it 2012 or 2013?). Jeff was very adamant on it winning it but i think it ended going to Assassin's creed 3.
I believe it was a Brad vs Jeff argument.
As usual, they'll get excited about gameplay that looks interesting or fun to them. I don't see them getting excited for any game just because it belongs to a franchise, apart from series that have been consistently high-bar and unique (e.g. MGS). Star Wars games are hit and miss. And the last Mass Effect wasn't great.

The giantbomb.sexy redirect is excellent.
YouTube archive will be up shortly after the stream if all goes according to plan. They usually put up a version of the stream as a temporary archive on the site too within a few hours.

AC3 was the correct choice.
I love the franchise but it always makes for a really boring press conference segment.

Some set pics from the GB Instagram:

That doesn't look like a porn studio or a murder room.
