Coming September 9: The Big Live Live Show: Live!

We're forming like Voltron to bring you an all-day extravaganza.

        

No Caption Provided
Hey, what are you doing on September 9? Actually, wait, don't answer. I don't care what the answer is--just cancel whatever it is. Because what you should be doing on September 9 is setting up your largest computer monitoring monitor and aiming a web browser squarely at us, because at 10AM Pacific Daylight Time, we're kicking off an all-day broadcast that's going to start down here in the basement and, by the end of the day, explode into a full-on street party.

The Sites de Whiskey Grande (that's us, Tested, Screened, and Comic Vine, I think) will be coming together to present something like eight hours of delirious action, featuring game demos, interviews, something that closely resembles a world premiere, some sort of dance-off, footage of what goes on in our underground bar, the ability to ask us questions, some sort of sandwich-related fiasco, and much, much more!

(Actually, I should state that we might not have a sandwich-related fiasco, and that just about all of the above is subject to change. It's a live demo, folks.)

But I can 100-percent for-sure guarantee that this will be when you'll hear the super-specifics about our upcoming network-wide membership program, which will let you sign up for hot-ass services like higher-quality videos, a mobile-optimized version of the site, and... well, actually, how about I just show you the mobile-optimized version of the site, courtesy of this video shot by Mike Horn and Dave Snider earlier today... cool? 

  
  
 
You know, Dave's been posting a bit more about the upcoming paid membership plan over on his blog, so you might want to check that out for a sneak peek at what's coming your way. Otherwise, I'm going to get back to haranguing guests to make sure they're actually going to show up, and we'll see you on September 9!

From what I understand it's not a NO ANIME policy just more that it's something that doesn't really interest them.  
 
Whiskey Media has a anime site, GiantBomb is the video games site so even though I have a deep affinity for anime I would not want to see tons of anime related stories and threads here when they are already at Anime Vice.

I normally bite my tongue on stuff like this...but 10am PDT on a Thursday? Really? I mean, I'm glad that the show will be more easily seen live by our European userbase, but let's face it - most Bombers live in the United States and either work full time, go to school, or both. I work normal business hours and there is no way I'll see this live, not to mention that there's no way I'll ever get into a TNT.
 
I hope the footage gets archived and the whole thing will be viewable on justin.tv or something, or at the very least a highlight reel.

@MB: If they want to do it for approximately 5-6 hours it might be a good idea to do it during the day. When they work.

Minor correction: They're doing it for 7–8 hours.

So this is on 3am Friday the 10th here.
Thinking of skipping the 4 lectures I have that day. 
Hopfully there isn't a mid-semester exam that day...

I got to know John and Gia rather well back when AV still existed, and they told me out side of the site that it just came down to no one at whiskey giving a fuck about anime. No one at the office cared about anime,  so AV was always the last to get attention or effort put behind the site and promoting it from the staff and the higher ups. 
 
Now AV is what it is. A faceless, empty joke of a site that gets zero support or effort put into it by anyone at whiskey. I honestly have no idea why they still keep it up.

That's a shame to hear. John was/still is an awesome dude. He's becoming a teacher isn't he?

@natetodamax: Ya, I had them on my Steam friends list but I lost touch with them a few months back. Last I heard John was going to teach Drama at a high school, and Gia opened her own blog site and was doing freelance work last I heard. 
 
I really liked them as I got to know them pretty well, as much as a stranger can know some one on the interest anyway, and really enjoyed talking with them. It was really hard to adjust going from AV where the staff talked to the community, and even had in jokes in various videos, back to GB where I have never personally seen a member of the staff talk to people. Obviously GB has a bigger community so they can't really be expected too, but it was still weird going from feeling like you belonged to the site to just being another face in the horde.
 
I will always have my memories of being a main stay on one of there video features that they had started just before the site died. I always managed to get some creepy off the wall question in there for them to ask and it always made me laugh like a school girl seeing there reactions when they read it. I was glad that they got to one of my more off the wall ones in there last video that they did. I still laugh every time I watch it and seeing John go speechless.  Starts at 2:00 if you want to watch it. =)

I demand my 2 dollars back for the GB app.  It's obsolete. 
 
Well, I don't actually care about the two bucks.  Does seem a shame that the app got so little support post-launch, though.

I recently found out that, contrary to previous beliefs, I DO NOT have class on this day. It's a Whiskey Media miracle.

Is it just more poor memory or did they invite the public to come down to the Whiskey Media building for this event last year?
