    One of these things is not like the others.

    And Major Nelson of Xbox fame too.

    Just when I was getting used to Youtubers being all over all games reveals in a way that's starting to resemble native advertising something like this happens and makes it so stupid that I'm on board again. I didn't know Wiz was a gamer but sure, lets see it. I wonder if they're going to be micced up because between chatty streamers and him it'd be pretty special. Either in an awkward or amazing way. I tell you what as far as EA gets it sure beats Pelé.

    Oh boy, as if my expectations for this game couldn't get any lower. Well, at least LevelCap is there.

    That's pretty neat, I can't imagine they would be mic'd up (maybe Wiz though?) because their sole job in life is to get people's attention, it would be nonstop screaming and making noises.

    @grilledcheez: I could see them being mic'd up but the mics not being live - so that when they go to make a supercut of it they can grab the audio of the players when they want it. Otherwise yes it'd be a total shit show of screaming and noise.

    @plasmaduck: umm, Lupe Fiasco is definitely not a no-name rapper. He's actually a respectable lyricist.

    You might be interested in hearing what he sounded like in 2006. Makes you wonder what could have happened with his career.

    I'm not a Wiz Khalifa fan, but he occasionally makes songs that I can enjoy. Here's a not-so-guilty pleasure of mine.

    Also on the Lupe Fiasco topic, I'm not sure who is being sarcastic or not, but I do agree with @flashflood_29's statement. Lupe Fiasco is not a no-name rapper, and "respectable" isn't a bad adjective to describe his lyricism. He's not going to blow you away with bars but he's not terrible. He fell off pretty hard after The Cool (Lasers and F&L 2 were pretty rough) but his last album Tetsuo & Youth got a lot of acclaim from both mainstream fans and hip-hop fans, so it seems like he's turning his career around.

    As for the actual topic of this thread, I'm probably not going to watch the BF1 livestream but I'm hoping he's just high and laughing all the time during the proceedings.

    Surprised Seananners has the time to get away from doing a million HL2 mod videos in order to participate in this.

    They should bring in the Breaking Benjamin guy.

    But they just lock him in a room with only Battlefront so we can watch him throw controllers and smash things like a giant baby.

    In a hilarious twist Lupe Fiasco will also be playing in this stream much to the joy/dismay of @artisanbreads / @plasmaduck

    Also Kesha, The Game and Boogie from the NBA and Marshawn Lynch from the NFL. This sounds like my kind of corporate insanity

    The only one of those Youtubers I even recognise is Seananners and I don't even like his video game videos (only his introspective/thoughtful ones).

    I also don't know who Wiz Khalifa is, but it is pretty crazy seeing Kesha and Major Nelson in this on the same team. Seriously though, what is Kesha doing there? I thought they were doing their best to keep her out of the limelight while forcing her into producing more music that she doesn't want to make. What a really weird thing this is.

    This is so EA.

    Now I don't know who Wiz Khalifa is, but some on there I've heard of. Still, it's sort of odd to see this for a World War 1 set game. Maybe that's just me.
