I mean, it's not like they have ever advertised their streams that much, and it seems like it's embargo fuckery that makes them unable to say specifically?

I mean I'd probably recognize a bunch of his songs (like the one Twin Tails posted above) but I couldn't tell who's performing them.
It's really weird that the nature of the stream is seemingly under embargo. I don't understand who that benefits.

There definitely seemed to be some sort of embargo based on how they danced around talking about the stream. Besides, there will be archives that they'll probably mention next bombcast.
RE: Vinnyvania. I had assumed "Shaft" and "Ghost Shaft" were just nicknames the guys had given that boss - rather than the actual name of the enemy. Kudos to you random Konami localizer.
It is consistent with them not advertising their stuff lately but it wasn't always the case. The first and second BLLSL even had pre-roll video ads and they have hyped console launch day streams in the past.
If it really is under embargo - the very mention of the product - I would have thought they would be mocking it - like they do with the video restrictions Nintendo often imposes. They usually call out the dumbest of PR bullshit. I am still not convinced it is that at all.
Sure they will get eyes on it eventually, but it is those big live stream numbers that excite corporate - even if they don't make money off of it. The audience that will turn up for a live stream is what differentiates GB from sites like Gamespot. Hard to get people in if they don't know it is happening.

There seems to be an embargo that doesn't let them mention what the stream is gonna be. Not easy to advertise it then other than put it on the schedule.
If there wasn't an embargo they would've said what the stream was at the end of UPF.
Jeff did mock it probably as much as he could without saying there was an embargo at the end of UPF.

I feel like the title itself is mocking the whole thing.
Also the numerous "What could it possibly beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?" *shrug shoulders*

Nametags I can understand but disabling other cars? You might as well play single player mode.

How will you see Sonic The Hedgehog speed past you if you disable cars?

The temptation to pay money in Clash Royale is pretty potent. I already spent 79p.
I've joined a GB Clan, so now I have something to do every now and then but I accidentally opened a 12 hour chest and now I'm full so either need to spend money or waste time playing games I won't get anything. Kind of frustrating.

V.R. the Nation. Of Domination.
Hard to tell if that is Jeff mocking us or mocking the PR restrictions. It certainly makes sense that they would say if they could say - I just find it hard to believe that Oculus could be that dumb. I guess we will find out Monday. I am looking forward to it as I have the day off. Thanks Jesus!

I have a day off Monday so I can watch the stream all day but my thesis is due Tuesday. What to do? I suppose I could work really hard today to get it done....

Looking forward to the embargo dropping so we can find out what this Rift thing is all about.

I wonder if there will be BLLS. They did say something about a new members shirt but who knows. 🎂

What if it's actually Mario Party Party 6?

What if they set up a VR camera perspective somewhere on set that premium subscribers could have access to, like that stupid stadium seating thing some places were thinking of doing.

My guess the stream will be about Oculus Rift or it could also be about both it and Vive(ships April 5th so unlikely but who knows). Jeff mentioned in UPF during Trackmania how it's not the case when it comes to VR working with Trackmania and that they'll get into it more in the near future.
I think it's pretty clear that it will be an Oculus launch stream. They might do some other stuff too, but that will clearly be the focus given the date of the stream.

I can't believe they're gonna stream Brad committing the first VR murder.
Am I in the darkest timeline?

Poop in a box and say, "I thought you said feces!"
Hopefully they order lunch on the stream in VR.

I just spent a fiver on Clash Royale then in my next match I got disconnected and lost in a couple seconds when I reconnected.
Those are unrelated of course but I can't help but feel the universe is trying to tell me something.

You see, "VR" sounds like "we are", and it's word play involving that one P.O.D. song.
Yeah.

You're a big guy.
I've always been confused. Is he wishing happy Easter to his Xbox? To another's Xbox? To the Xbox division of Microsoft? To the Xbox community? So many questions for such a short (but intriguing) clip.
My money is on his own Xbox. He's talking to his Kinect.

Is that a faction in Fallout 4.
i just found this tweet https://twitter.com/jeffgerstmann/status/325279661334614017
john drake shot this!?
must have been some harmonix thing.
i don't know if its better or worse that its from some one who knows what's up.
i've always wondered what kind of corporate tone deaf nightmare would produce this vid.

Someone linked the UPF where Vinny plays Second Life earlier and that section is ridiculous. My stomach hurts from laughing.
Vinny had so many good UPF picks.

Yes please! I just played it for the first time in a while on Friday and that game is so good. Perfect stream material.
I think more table top games in general would be nice. More DnD!
Eh, West would need to find a better DM in order to do any more roleplaying games. Rorie doesn't have the chops to hold a game together.
Maybe they will do a Secret Hitler stream when that game comes out.
