GameTrailers's Kyle Bosman will do ONE HOUR stand-up routine in honor of E3 bets

Huber should still get everyone on staff in the room with him.

Even though the specifics wasn't stated, Huber playing a game wasn't stated either (even if they need gameplay streaming because of TOS).

Didn't they state it at the end of the Final Bets Results video?

Kyle & Huber should duet on Dare
break out the liquid bosman wig for the only song suitable for this E3

If you're gonna have some padding, might as well make it awesome!

As a reasonably above average Gametrailers fan, I'm going to try to see if I can name most of them from memory:

Mike Huber
Daniel Bloodworth
Brandon Jones
Ian Hinck
Elyse Willems
Ben Moore
Brad Ellis
Don
Matt Blair
Andrea Rene
The Defy Media dude from Final Bets
Omar?

I'm probably missing a ton of people, but that's all I can name for now.

isn't Andrea from another place that somehow always manages to feature in GT?

BTW, it's Don Casanova..
shame on you!

Not sure, she still does some GT stuff like GT Time so I figured I'd put her in there.

CASANOVA! I can't believe I forgot.

Andrea is part of GT now

oh really? I'm glad, she's pretty good in the just playeds she's been in, hope to see more of her

At the end of one of the recent episodes he basically did already a few minutes of stand up.

And now he has to stretch those two minutes into an hour

that's exactly what I talked here (or may be it was in the other 2 threads)... he's good at this

What? Twitch doesn't allow straight up stand up on their streams!

As explained in the Final Bets Results video, Huber will be playing a video game in the bottom corner of the screen while Bosman does his stand up so that they satisfy Twitch's video game requirement.


Rocket Beans are able to do segments on Twitch, that don't feature any video game content at all, for example talkng about movies or the early newspaper. Why wouldn't Gametrailers be allowed to do the same?

Not sure. :/ Perhaps they can and their plan to stream a game in the meantime was just an off the cuff idea in case they couldn't.

Oh god watched that standup and that burger joke just triggered all the sympathy cringes I have. This is going to be so bad.

I guess this is Twitch's rule in question:
http://www.twitch.tv/p/rules-of-conduct

"Non-gaming, non-music content: Video games, board games, card games, fantasy sports, LARP games, and acceptable music content (see above). And while it's nice to take a break and just chill out with your audience, please ensure that your channel's primary focus is on gaming or music creation."

In my interpretation, having a non-gamening related segment segment should be fine, as long as the focus of Gametrailers is on gaming in general.
(case in point: RocketBeans, who partnered their channel with Twitch, while this rule is in place)

No idea, if Kyle's stand-up will be gaming related. And having a game in the background might actually suit his program, so maybe he would want to do it anyway.

Ah, maybe they brought up that point because Kyle doesn't think his stand-up could possibly be mostly related to gaming. Dude went pretty broad in that one stand-up segment. The Wendy's burgers lol
 
The GT crew just makes life so jolly, love watching a stream and several shows every day while I work. I am greatly looking forward to this, train wreck and all.

Afaik do rocketbeans actually have a contract with twitch that says 70% of their stuff has to be gaming related. Not sure if that's a special offer or something every channel can do

THANK YOU HUBER!

Here's my hopes:

a) The standup routine should at least in part be gaming themed. What I've seen of Bosman's standup is for a broader audience, but this time his audience will be primarily people who play video games. Make video game jokes!

b) References to Final Bosman running gags should be kept to a minimum. I'm a big Final Bosman fan but there are going to be people tuning in who don't watch the show as much. Turn them into new fans instead of alienating them.

Kyle is a very presentation-savvy dude so I feel like if he reads this, it'll either look like I said two very obvious things, or he'll ignore them for well justified reasons. Whatever happens, I'm looking forward to this very very much. Dude is super funny and even if this is a train wreck it'll be a super funny one.

Don't worry he's got plenty of...

I miss this haircut :(

R.I.P. Bosman, no one deserves this. Well we deserve it, because watching you do a 1 hour stand up is a blessing from the gaming gods. But man, good luck with that 1 hour. Going to go by slow.
