Yeah true. I'll wait a couple months so I can maybe forget about a lot of the choices I saw tonight.

All those Vinny moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
God fucking dammit.
It's in the last two hours IIRC.

Austin played far cry 2!? Best bomber confirmed.
I've seen the black rykert America shirt at exactly this place.
Also, have you looked at pro wrestling tees? 96 percent are straight garbage. Dan's are ok creative wise and executed well. PWT's are unbelievably bad.
GB Unarchived will save us, right.. right??

as far as engaging the stream goes, Lang is #1
Not to shit on a charity campaign of all things but I think this is the first I've ever seen fall so far behind their goal. In fact all live streams I've seen have always just broken their previous records.
What happened?
PS. I liked Lang the most. That's what I think went wrong

Blizzcon happened.
Amen to that! Lang has put on a damn good show. He's been incredibly charismatic and does a lot to encourage people to donate.

Lang is best secret bomber.

I don't think anything went wrong, they just set a too ambitious goal. Even if GB SF were going all out with incentives during their portion there's no way GB would get to 180k by themselves,or whatever they'd need to push 250k.
Pascual indicated on Reddit a while ago that GB had worked on the schedule for at least a month but had trouble getting it to fit everyone's schedule until last minute. So maybe they could've promoted it more, but doesn't seem like they got a clear picture of who were doing what until late in the game.
Anyways, they're the third best team. It's all good.
Yah. Last year they were second though.

Lang getting his mind blown by Galak-Z
Third last year too I think, behind the same ones as this year.

We already saw someone play Galak-Z for like two hours! Sloppy moves, Lang.
People were too busy giving to Game Informer's dope-ass stream.
Seriously, though, I think they just spread themselves too thin this year. It should've been a smaller set of longer streams instead of a half a dozen streams of varying length.

Huh. I must be misremembering.
I might be misremembering too.
You think randoms donate in large amounts to these things?
Sure. I don't think generosity is just limited to the people that visit giant bomb.com/chat.
A larger audience is always better. When Dave Lang can get like double the viewers of the other streams then that means there's a whole crowd of twitch people the guys are unable to pitch and sell the charity on.
Yeah, I think the GBWest wasnt "in your face" with it enough. You gotta constantly be talking about it, settings goals, reading donations messages, ect. I can totally see them not wanting the stream to be about that but its a very effective method for motivating people -- you basically gotta gamify it and treat it like a hi score.

The reason why they are third is no N-Gage streaming

And here I am watching Lang at work. Take that!
Velvet Sundown seems to work a lot smoother than it did around the release.
I would too if I didn't have meetings scheduled for most of the day. Just bad timing on my part.
