The GB chat has been a great excuse for me to go back and find a bunch of old codes from as far back as 2011 I haven't used and get them out of the back of my mind.

I also found out I bought Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands from http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1103465 for $10.50 a couple months ago but the codes weren't ready at the time or something...so that was cool to learn!
 
Fuck.

I could have been locally recording all of everyone's streams, just in case of something like this happening.

I didn't.

Fuck.

<script id="gpt-impl-0.37726311874575913" src="http://partner.googleadservices.com/gpt/pubads_impl_75.js"></script>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 :)

Last year was an anomaly and they based the goal on that total. If you look at the other big hitters, donations seem to be down across the board for whatever reason. Remember that last year smashed records and Jeff and Dan didn't even participate so I don't think you can put it down to GB SF and their limited promotion.

Donations will continue after the streams and the archives will help. A decent sum for charity any way you look at it.

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.

Yeah, I mean even something as simple as showing the total or a timer overlay would have gone a long way. Ah well, still great numbers all around even if the goal wasn't met.

Carrying on with my Fallout 4 stream in just a few minutes, 2 hours down, 22 to go!

(You could at least donate to my cause rather than give any kind of monetary recognition to The Monster Dave Lang).
