6400 people watching the YouTube logo.

 

[SeanC]

Ungh....deep hurting....

 

[Brashnir]

C'mon telethon! I just watched the "Watching now" number dwindle from over 8,000 to 500

and now back to 6k to look at a screen that says "Youtube." we're fine.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I HAVE FISH STICKS IN THE OVEN WHAT SHOULD I DO?!

 

[Sanjuro]

Normal View...

NORMAL VIEW...

NORRRRMALLLLL VIIIEWWWWWW

 

[Cheebo]

This isnt going to hit 5.9 in 4 hours is it

 

[androvsky]

C'mon Frank, push the button.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

This isnt going to hit 5.9 in 4 hours is it

It only needs to hit 5.5 on Kickstarter with the add-ons

 

[Sanjuro]

It's working. IT'S WORKING!

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

I want to see a really pissed off Joel at the technical difficulties.

 

[mclem]

WE GOT TEST CARD SIGN!

 

[daveo42]

Looks like we're coming back up.

Mitchell was a good way to go through some old clothes. Mitchell.

 

[Cheebo]

250k in under 4 hours seems like too much to overcome

 

[DrForester]

Meanwhile, at Kickstater HQ...

 

[mclem]

I am most troubled by the aspect ratio of this test pattern.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Even the technical difficulties are planned.

This Kickstarter campaign is unparalleled.

 

[daveo42]

We're actually real close to 200k and the way things have been going, we'll hit $5.9mil with room to spare.

Edit: 202k atm.

He's not cutting off the funding at the end of the kickstarter.

 

[Cheebo]

He's not cutting off the funding at the end of the kickstarter.

I expect interest will fall way way down once it officially ends. If it isn't at 5.9 by tonight it is not going to hit it I think

 

[Freyjadour]

Did $85.

I don't really like the price, but the show has such a big place in my memories of growing up that I can't not do it.

 

[Brashnir]

So what will this telethon actually be? Part of me is hoping they just put on some old Jerry Lewis telethon and riff it for 4 hours.

I was hoping the same thing. I want an old-style phone bank, a big thermometer or gauge, some tap dancing, really gaudy curtains, etc etc.

And this test pattern.. man, I miss old TV.

 

[mclem]

This is actually the first new episode; we're expected to riff the test pattern ourselves

I keep reading the copyright notice as Orca Manufacturing Co.

Looks okay to me.

They could totally do that. They're shooting it at Meltdown comics and they have the Nerdmelt theatre that would be perfect for that.

 

[mreddie]

Telethon should just be Joel eating Waffles for 4 hours.

 

[plagiarize]

I'm watching this in virtual reality

 

[mclem]

Pushing!

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Push the button!

 

[uncelestial]

Get out and push?! But I am a virtual being -- non-corporeal. A digital ghost! A flutter of ones and zeroes!

 

[DrForester]

Everyone get out and push.

 

[mclem]

Get out and push?! But I am a virtual being -- non-corporeal. A digital ghost! A flutter of ones and zeroes!

Then just make sure you pop afterwards.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Okay now I'm freaking out.

 

[plagiarize]

I'm pushing in virtual reality

 

[Brashnir]

Push... like, are we giving birth to this thing right now? PUSH! PUUUUSSSSHHHHHHH!

 

[uncelestial]

I'm tryin'!

[mclem]

It's good to know that they're not wasting Kickstarter funds on piffling things like functional cameras.

 

[Cheebo]

only 300 are watching this, why did they switch urls?

 

[uncelestial]

So the audio is them chatting among themselves and the original kickstarter video at 4x the volume?

 

[SeanC]

Damn, I was hoping to at least catch the start of it, but I gotta leave work at some point...

 

[kulapik]

What a disaster

 

[DrForester]

Right as he explains why it's not working, it stops working. ROFL.

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Live video is live

 

[mclem]

Love the bots hanging around in the back.

 

[DrForester]

Bots don't want to listen to this crap and took off immediately.


edit: Kill them, Gypsy!

 

[uncelestial]

The damn numbers aren't even progressing! They are at $5.307M, showing $5.284M

 

[SeanC]

A wild Gypsy appears!

 

[HylianTom]

GYPSY! My sweet Gypsy! Yes!
