Thanks! Eleven whole hours of Halo 5 seems like a longer than expected playthrough.
I guess they'll finish Halo 2 next year

I donated instead.
I think I've donated close to $700 this Extra Life, many smaller donations add up.

obviously they're doing amazing, but I wonder how much more they could've raised this year with more planning/incentives/etc. for people to rally around. The first SF stream especially seemed like kind of a missed opportunity.

yeah, i feel like they could have done way better with the fundraising if they had a actual schedule to promote on the bombcast the weeks leading up to this weekend.

Yeah this year has felt pretty lackluster, especially when it comes to driving home the "donate for sick kids in hospitals" point. Lang is killing it though.

You're a big guy.
Although it was my favourite part so far, the SF stream did feel weirdly aimless and chilled. That may have also been why I enjoyed it so much.
I wish the SF crew had done a little more yeah prep and time yeah (I understand why they couldn't) but Austin killed it, Vinny and Jason did great, and Lang is killing it.
Yeah, Lang's done the best of them all on the donation front because he's actually been pushing people to donate. $11.5k in 8.5 hours is crazy, especially for being the last stream.

Lang and the Strikers did a really good job. Planning and incentives go a long way. Pushup club was a great idea and the Until Dawn incentive during a slow donation period was genius.

Did Lang not see the hint where's it's ok to do nothing?
Tbf it's not unusual for the last stream to get the most money, people always tend to donate more towards the end in these kind of streams. But yeah, the SF crew didn't do much to get people to donate during their streams. They never have, really. I don't think it matters that much when there's several other streams though, it's many of the same people watching the streams so if you really push the donations on a few of them that's going a long way.

But I thought the GB guys hate games!1
Excited for all this goodness. For the children! Great thread.
Great pre-DB9 fun.
The GB SF stream was probably my favourite stream this weekend, at least of what I was able to catch. But in terms of getting money they were probably the biggest missed opporunities.

Word. Dudes in the office barely ever tried to raise money pro-actively. The Jeff/Dan/Brad stream was the worst for this and was basically a long UPF. COMPLACENT!
Austin and Lang's streams are the best. I missed most of Vinny so I can't speak to that. Shout out to Jason and Lisa too for doing an amazing job with a dang 2-week old baby, troopers!
