That's a solid schedule! SF stream being only 12 hours is bit of a bummer but whatever. I'll probably miss Vinny's stream live though

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I think they did the 12 hour streams because it's less strenuous on everyone involved. 24 hours is alot. 24 hours trying to keep engaged with video games, others, or just in front of an audience must be tough.

 

[popo]

On one hand, GB SF streaming for only 12 hours during the work day seems a bit of a weak commitment and goes against the idea of EL being a hardship undergone for a good cause. Especially after all Dan's big talk.

On the other hand, it will most likely be quality over quantity and realistically I would only catch a few hours live and never did got back to the archive in previous years.

Also they scheduled it well so that it will minimize disruption to the site. The 24h weekend streams were great but then they took Monday off and complained of being tired for at least a week afterwards

Yup and with Black Ops 3, Tomb Raider and Fallout 4 (and i think battlefront?) releasing in the next few days, they probably can't take time off either.

[Backfoggen]

Can we start a campaign to get them to play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for COOA? I'm too much of a scaredy cat to play those games myself, and they seem to be just the right kind of eastern European open world jank for Vinny to conjure up greatness from. (Also, Austin keeps namedropping these games every so often)

Stalker needs to be played. I posted it in both of Vinnys threads.

 

[BanGy.nz]

I hope Danny and Mary rock up and hang out during Extra Life streams.

The San Francisco crew.

Oh right I knew that, sleep deprivation has turned my mind to mush.

Power-playing some disgusting anime filth would keep them awake for 24 hours with change.

Maybe Jeff doesn't want to die on his mixlr stream while driving home after staying up for 24 hours.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Gb sf destiny stream plz

 

[Noray]

What was the Disney published game, that was all about a crazy TV show where things in the world blew up and stuff? Split Second? Is that worth checking out these days? Also Blur. Blur was super fun.

I fucking loved Split/Second when it came out, but I haven't played it since. I got gold medals on all the events. I don't even typically like racing games.

Split/Second was a great little game, but once you'd seen all the destruction, there wasn't much to keep you coming back like Burnout could. Pure was also a fun ATV game they put out, but again, not a lot of longevity.

Pour one out for Black Rock

 

[strafer]

If alex is with vinny they should play lis

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I can't believe it's time for Extra Life again. I don't think I got through all of last year. I definitely will be missing some this year too. Great lineup, however.

The Extra Life schedule looks pretty cool with a lot of variation. No party stream with East is a bit of a shame, but solo Vinny stream should be fun, too.

Boy I sure wish the Wii U/Mario Maker startup was quicker - not sure why there isn't an instant on like PS4 etc

Hopefully for NX, Nintendo focuses on reducing accessibility times to near 0. Remember the Wii U launch menu loading times?

What's that Chrome plug-in for making searching GB videos easier? I'm trying to look through old Spookin' episodes but it's not easy.

24 hours of miserable Brad was always my favorite part, I'm sad he isn't doing it this year. It also means no peeg powered donations.

Well to be fair, it being strenuous and difficult is sorta the whole basis behind the Extra Life marathons.

Hopefully like in past years we'll get a good variety of guests passing through Drew and Alexis's stream!

This will help.

 

[stump sock]

It's not like they haven't made bad decisions on streams that are less than 24 hours.

I'm pretty sure that having Dan around roughly doubles the odds of dumb shit happening.

Haha, what video is this from? Last year's Extra Life?

Also, any idea if Giant Bomb Extra Life will be live on YouTube? Trying to work out an easy way to watch on TV.

It's usually on twitch if you're using a chromecast.

AKA the best Jeff on the internet

has resumed his streaming of video games in general and future GiantBomb Game of the Year Bloodborne in particular, over at http://www.twitch.tv/greenspeak. There have been two streams since his comeback on Halloween, and -- as is to be expected from the legendary Black Dragon -- he is making remarkable progress.

This made me realize I hadn't heard anything about Kay Plays in a while, so I went and checked and realized she's doing a Life is Strange LP.
