So how did Asa fare compared to brad. How does either know each other?

Crispy contacted him and asked him if he'd like to do it, and he answered yes.

And I thought it was pretty enjoyable, but have no idea how anyone did since I barely understand DOTA.

For over a year I have been trying to log into giant bomb with an account I set up back when it first got started.

When I try to log in it tells me either the username or password are incorrect (they're not, but whatever). So I reset it, get the reset email, and put in a new password. Then that password isn't correct which makes me think it must be the username, but I can look at my profile on the giantbomb site and it's definitely the right user name.

I have done this at least 4 times.

Any advice?

Since the Operation Supply Drop-streams might not be going up on the site I started watching them on Twitch but they kept buffering. Decided to download them using twitchtools.com which resulted in like 70 files or so. Muxed them together to 2 seperate mkv files (one for Rorie and one for Alexis/Danny).

Thought you guys might also like them so I uploaded them here https://mega.co.nz/#!zdxVBIbB!3WJ5FAzLcLG-9WYBRhYLEUY3zlRaiDd0tzhfC7XZj8s and here https://mega.co.nz/#!idgxlQJI!39glcwCfJ4qmdui-75KHo7rrw6eTqFKKSVe_qhZGgRQ

Haven't watched them fully yet but gotta say Rorie picked some excellent games! And Danny playing Skate made me sad we're not getting another one of those. :(

I love Alexis suggesting that they download AdBlock for next time they're doing something like that, and Drew having to remind him that they run a website for a living.

Am I seeing that right? They only made $1040 during the 24h stream? Or is there some other account, because the site was down most of the time?

Myggen said:
Wasn't there some story some week ago about Pachter going public with knowledge that GT would get bought before he should've or something like that? There's been rumours about GT not doing too good for some time now, which isn't really that surprising. They made a name for themselves "back in the day" by being the first to post trailers, and being the place where you could watch ALL the trailers for a game. I remember visiting that site a lot because of that years ago. But then every other site began posting the same trailers, and I don't think their original content has done enough for them to make up for it.

I wouldn't be surprised if GT went under, or at least got bought and downscaled.

He straight up tweeted it (and never deleted it either, but apologized):

The vast majority of donations were made directly to OSD's paypal account. Unless someone there manually goes through them all, I don't think there's any way of knowing just how much the Rorie/Danny stream raised.

The donation site was down for literally the whole stream (DDoS attack apparently), so if you wanted to donate you'd have to donate to a paypal account the charity had set up which didn't track from which stream the donations came from. So the $1040 was probably donated before and after the stream.

edit: Yeah, looking at the donations it's clear that they're all from before and after the stream.

Oh wow, a bit quick on the draw there! But where there's smoke there's probably fire in this case.

When I checked the donations last night, it was at $495 on the Giantbomb/Gamespot page (not the separate Rorie page, that one was only showing like $110).

I watched for a good couple hours Saturday night, so, I threw in $25.

Edit: Wow, but, dude then throws in $300. Well played. He must've been really salty about the donations.

Thanks, this is truly great as watching stuff archived on Twitch is incredibly hit or miss. Unfortunately Mega downloads always stall after about five minutes for me and then they never resume. Is there any chance you could put them on Youtube or something?

Edit: Never mind, found a program called MegaDownloader that allows me to grab stuff from Mega in a download manager-like way. Thanks again, mate.

I transcoded a 720p version of the Danny/Alexis/Ian stream for my iPad (MP4 H264 video).

Is there any way of sharing the 9GB file that isn't youtube?

A (trackerless) torrent would probably be the best way if you have it on a computer that's online all the time.

If that's not possible but you can figure out a way to somehow deliver the file to me I can put it up on a public server. Or I can try to find out if I can set it up so that you can upload the file directly there.

I tossed them $20 via the PayPal link for the entertainment and admittedly felt a little weird doing so, just sending money off into the ether in the name of charity. With the site down the entire time I'm not surprised numbers are low, even if live donations were done anonymously it has to be a little disheartening for those involved. Hope Extra Life 2014 goes smoother, though someone somewhere probably has a reason why they want to DDoS that drive again as well.

That would be cool. I've PM'd you dropbox links to the files. Divided up the video into six two-hour segments.

They implied during the stream that it was because of the military associations for the charity, but people are just assholes. There were DDOS attacks on Child's Play during that stream too.

Many thanks to you both! I had been trying to watch the archive for about an hour now, but Twitch's VoD is just straight garbage. At least on my computer. If Google buys Twitch I at least hope they fix that POS player while they implement Google+ into everything.

As for the DDoS attack. Well, the Operation Supply Drop charity didn't exactly seem like a big charity, so it's not surprising that they couldn't deal with something like that. Extra Life got DDoS'd to hell during the stream GB did for that and they were down for only a couple of hours IIRC, so I'm sure it will be possible to donate during that stream at least.
