Extra Life GB stream or Bayonetta 2... Decisions. Lacking a second monitor at the moment so I can't do both.

 

[popo]

Vinny has an excuse. Alex hates kids.

Did Jeff just say nothing as everyone else was saying what they were doing?

Duped even a few hours after its finished.

Daydreaming, you're spoiling the magic.

 

[Zaph]

Holy shit that bombcast thread art. Perfecto.

Anyway, not a fan of all these split streams. Would prefer one 24hr thing with everyone in-studio as it's possibly feasible to watch the whole thing, more entertaining and

shocking.

Odd how Jason has barely been seen but now he's hosting the 'main' stream. Did they say why Jeff wasn't or who's in the control room?

Weekend is the main streams as that is Extra Life proper.

Big sites are all in an arms race to stream multiple days and (hopefully) raise more money. I blame GS for promising 100 hours.

 

[Rainmaker]

No Jeff is a pretty big bummer for me. Hopefully he'll find the time to pop in at some point.

Ian might be in the control room? Didn't say anything about Jeff, we'll see when the article is up. Unless he has some personal stuff going on I expect him to at least come on as a guest. Dan was supposed to be with Jason on Saturday but now he has to host by himself!

GiantBomb Extra Life plans

THURSDAY at 7AM PACIFIC Patrick, Dave Lang, some combination of other Iron Galaxy employees, and who knows which other Chi-town knuckleheads will kick off the festivities from the windy city with a full 24 hours.

Following a short two-hour break, FRIDAY at 9AM PACIFIC intrepid producer Jason A. Striker will be joined by his wife and various Friends of Giant Bomb in the San Francisco studio for some manner of hijinks. I predict there will be fighting games.

Directly following Jason's stream, SATURDAY at 9AM PACIFIC I'll commence my now-annual solo stream from home, probably joined here and there by friends like Daily Dota luminary Crispy and Extra Life team captain Matt Pascual. Otherwise, there will only be a huge stack of games and the chat to keep me awake in the wee hours. Will I finally pick that Dark Souls character back up? Can I keep the Dota to a minimum? Will the piggies make an appearance? Find out!

Finally, SUNDAY at 9AM PACIFIC, just as I'm about to collapse, Drew and dead-to-us former colleague Alexis Gallisa will roll into the office and probably play a scary amount of Halo (and maybe some other games?) to see us through until the stream finally concludes on Monday morning. That's assuming Drew makes it back alive from Vietnam or wherever he is at this point. We haven't heard from that guy in like two weeks.

 

[DrFunk]

96 hours?!

who needs a job?

 

[Felix Lighter]

That post ended on a surprisingly dark tone.

 

[shadyspace]

How many of Giant Bomb's various friends have even met Jason at this point? What a weird stream that is going to be.

 

[SlowRevolution]

at some point between dan needing to drop out and no jeff/vinny I realized I'm looking forward to the danny gamespot stream more than the giant bomb stuff (except patrick/dave lang) and that weirds me out.

I predict there will be fighting games.

well at least it'll be easy to see which parts to skip

 

[Zornack]

What was the stream they did where Alexis made everyone in The Sims?

 

[Data West]

No Jeff is a huge letdown.

 

[Antiwhippy]

That post ended on a surprisingly dark tone.

Huh, looking at his twitter feed and he really hasn't tweeted in 2 weeks.

 

[shadyspace]

Every single guest: "Hey Jason, nice to meet you!"

Think you might be right there.

I completely forgot about that, Jason solo makes more sense now. God damn American rounders.

Will probably try to catch the Drew/Alexis stream (I think Ian is in the control room for that?) and keep an eye on the thread for anything good on the Jason stream.

 

[Patryn]

You know, between someone else pointing out that Jeff isn't in any currently running premium series and not being part of Extra Life, part of me is wondering if he's starting to step back from the site for whatever reasons.

Then again, I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons for him not being part of EL.

 

[DrFunk]

No Jeff (assumed) or Dan is a bit of a bummer, but it can still be entertaining -.

Spoiler

none of us will be up for the full 96 hours anyways

.

Also, it's for the kids - enjoy and donate!

 

[Bacon]

No jeff/vinny is a massive letdown. Most excited for the Chicago stream, which I never would have imagined myself saying.

 

[SlowRevolution]

What was the stream they did where Alexis made everyone in The Sims?

operation supply drop, I think?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Maybe jeff will be in as a guest?

Judging by last year 24 hours might be too much for old man jeff.

 

[Twin Tails]

hehe since there is nothing up coming this is there

You Can't Go (PlayStation) Home Again
LIVE SHOW ON MAR 31, 2015 12:00 PM

Cant wait for this.

 

[Alfredo]

Jeff will just have to make up for it later in a 24-hour Mario Party stream.

 

[funkystudent]

Are Jeff and Dan not doing anything for extra life?

Jeff has never really been a part of a premium series that I can remember, so not like that's new. Also, Jeff might still guest or he might be away on personal business connected to recent events.

 

[Zaph]

Just checked out Danny's trailer. GameSpot US is doing Wednesday noon 24hrs and Saturday noon 24hrs. Assuming Danny's on both (that would be hardcore) it looks like there's a slight clash with Patrick's stream, an almost complete clash with Brad stream and a slight overlap with Drew/Alexis (maybe we'll get some Danny crossover there?).

 

[Myggen]

Are Jeff and Dan not doing anything for extra life?

Dan is in Kansas for all the baseball, was supposed to be on Saturday.

edit: No way Danny is doing 48 hours, haha.

edit again: oh, it's not consecutive days! Nevermind then.

He's had a lot of personal stuff to deal with recently with his dad. It wouldn't surprised me if he wanted to step back for awhile.

Oh, yeah. There are definitely a lot of totally justifiable reasons for his absence.

It's also entirely possible that people have it right and he'll show up for portions of the stream, but they didn't want to advertise him as being part because he wasn't going to be pulling the full 24 hour shifts.

Brad, you're alright.

Just recorded a QL for Legend of Korra. Scrubbing through the footage, and man, it's pretty good looking in parts. Solid animation too.

Jason Oestreicher ‏@unastrike 4 minutes ago
Shame about the rest of the game though.

Legend of Korra QL incoming.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I am going to stay awake for 96 hours. I am! I AM!!!

 

[Volotaire]

Legend of Korra QL incoming.

What a shame to hear this about the game. I was really looking forward to a Korra/Last Airbender universe videogame.

 

[TharpDaddy]

It's a shame Halo: MCC won't be out in time for Extra Life. That'd keep Alexis and Drew entertained for the whole 24 hours most likely.

 

[Incandenza]

Six-and-ninety hours of hot, hot CONTENT

Pack it into your cheeks like squirrels

 

[Keyser Soze]

It's a shame Halo: MCC won't be out in time for Extra Life. That'd keep Alexis and Drew entertained for the whole 24 hours most likely.

Seeing as they already did 1, 2. and 3 a few years back, playing MCC would be retreading old ground. I was thinking they can now do ODST, Reach, and 4.this time.

 

[Twin Tails]

they did reach already

 

[TharpDaddy]

That's true. I was more thinking they'd do TNT style and have a ton of multiplayer content they could do. I'm definitely down for ODST, Reach and 4 though.

 

[Squishy3]

What a shame to hear this about the game. I was really looking forward to a Korra/Last Airbender universe videogame.

The core gameplay is good. It's about what you'd expect from a Activision published $15 licensed downloadable game made by Platinum. At least Platinum isn't owned by Activision so they aren't going to be eventually forced into porting Call of Duty to last generation systems, like High Moon is.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Jeff could Skype in and narrate the entirety of one of the Halo novels as they play. That would be a fantastic use of both his time and energy.

 

[Alucrid]

From Thursday this week.

This weekend

thanks, damn, unfortunate, not sure how much i'll catch then

 

[AuthenticM]

I hope Drew and Alexis play through ODST, Reach and Halo 4. They need to finish the fight !

 

[TromboneTony]

Seeing as they already did 1, 2. and 3 a few years back, playing MCC would be retreading old ground. I was thinking they can now do ODST, Reach, and 4.this time.

They played through all of Reach last year though, can't see them playing it again. ODST and 4 would be great though.

 

[Tan]

24 hours of Dave Lang sounds awesome

 

[Bacon]

24 hours of Dave Lang sounds awesome

I'm annoyed that I'll be working through most of it. Definitely excited to see loopy/insane Dave Lang by the end of it.

 

[Myggen]

God damnit I can't get the Wi-Fi internet to work in the hotel I'm staying until Thursday. So with just a mobile phone as the only way to post on gaf until then I can't make the OT for GB Extra Life. Anyone else wanna do it? My thread would probably be 3-4 hours late.

 

[SlowRevolution]

greg r's constant crazy high donations matched with escalating demands made the half life stream great and he needs to do exactly the same thing with dave lang
