No Brad/Jeff/Dan is super disappointing, but on the bright side:

  • 24 hours of Lang
  • Danny's next doc is perfect
  • Finally a new video player

Extra Life 2016 Is Upon Us, So Hey, Have A Streaming Schedule

T9DmxL1.png

This is the worst.
 
Extra Life really isn't even worth watching anymore, the whole split up situation sucks, I wish they would just nut up and do a 24 hour studio stream, or a 12 hour West, 12 hour East stream.
 
I assume Drew/Alexis stream will have guests. Wishlist:
Dan will pop in for Drew's MGR playthrough.
Jeff will show up to playfully insult Alexis.
Brad will swing by to have a nap.
Danny will come to play some F1 with Drew.
Dave will show up to steal the calzone crust and watch Drew crash a plane.
Mary will arrive to inject some energy when everyone's crashing.
Ian will be there to mispronounce donation names.
 

So this basically confirms that GB East is the work horse of Giant Bomb since they're pretty much doing equal work with fewer people...

Seconded

Edit: Now seeing that Jeff is doing a stream the next weekend... That's actually cool!

I can't handle 24h of Dave Lang.

Also this split sucks. They aren't YouTubers. They have a studio. That's why we like them.
 
Eh. For the past month I've been having issues watching live streams on the site on mobile. It's pretty bad. I'll get video, but no audio or vice versa. Heck, sometimes I can't even open the player! Maybe the updated player will fix that.

Not sure what's supposed to be so terrible about this? This is 80 hours of streaming. Do you not like two thirds of Giant Bomb?
 
I mean first of all, it's one day a year, second of all it's for the kids, third the fun for the viewer comes from seeing them go mad over the course of 24 hours, if I wanted to watch 1 duder play games for a few hours I would load up an old stream or go to twitch.

Man, Extra Life just gets worse every year.

Mhm.

I legit thought that they'd play Mario Party and it would kinda bum me out because it's premium content but thinking Hey, it's for charity

Almost all solo steams, not just GB, are boring if you are not super into the game itself imo.

Ryckert bailing two years in a row, I knew he hated kids.

Solo/2 man streams do nothing for me. Drew and Alexis should be okay if they get guests, sounds like ODwyer might drop in.

Take out the standard UPF and a grand total of one member of Giant Bomb editorial is streaming for any of those 80 hours.

Jeff mentions "slots free" for the week after so I can see Brad streaming next week. Maybe Dan too. Sounds like none of them (other than Drew and Alexis) really enjoyed that group stream they did 2 years ago.

Also 'member when Oktobercast was a thing. I 'member.

I haven't watched Extra Life much before and I suspect that trend will continue.

I'm sure whatever highlights come out of the videos will end up just as great as previous years so no worries on that front. Everyone relax. This is the best time to be playing videogames as it turns out.

Oktobercast was a special time and place that we'll never get back.

I was at least hoping a 12 hour stream in the studio with Jeff and crew.

Wonder what Drew and Alexis will play now that Halo is finished...maybe Gears?
