Big props to Rorie for the Charity Livestream

You just go to their twitch page and click on past broadcasts. Here's a link duder.

Thank you. I feel so stupid haha, that "past broadcasts" button was escaping me.

I didn't get a chance to see Rorie's but I'll check it out on the twitch page some time. I do love me some Rorie.

But the Danny/Alexis/Ian stream is absolutely my favorite charity stream the site has ever done. Really goddamn funny.

Huge props to @rorie. He answered like three separate questions of mine during the stream, which felt super cool to me, even if he never did pronounce my name correctly.

Growing up in the same town as him(as I understand it), I feel a certain connection to him. I hope he does more one-man-streams in the future.

Watching them as of now and despite probably being a game best experienced yourself, I've enjoyed watching him stumble through Stanley a whole lot.

No problem. Heh, It eluded me for a while too.

Great to hear, can't wait to watch Rories stream. I could only watch a few hours of Danny's stream, and it was great, even though they seemed to crash pretty hard near the end. I like to see people suffer for a good cause.

Completely agree. I was pretty skeptical about a one man livestream being entertaining for any period of time, let alone for that long, but I think he absolutely nailed it.

I particularly enjoyed the Alpha Protocol segment, that ending couldn't have been more perfect. Anyways, Great job Rorie.

Thanks Rorie! Couldn't be there for the whole thing, so I'm watching what I missed on Twitch.

The crash was the best part! Worked so well with the hypnotic draw of the truly awful Lifeguard.

Rorie isn't my favorite (his dog segments make me extremely uncomfortable for one thing, and he can be very dismissive of things for arbitrary reasons (I guess that's a little like Jeff (parentheses inside parentheses, Inception!))) but I can't impugn the man's work ethic or his respect for the community's role in maintaining the site. I only watched a small fraction of what he did this weekend, but it certainly seemed like he kept things moving. I really enjoyed watching when he was streaming Dark Souls drunk on a regular basis - probably my favorite of the staff to watch on that game.

Every time I hear Rorie talking about puppies it brightens my day cause he isn't just doing a shtick or putting on a show. Saddly I couldn't watch a lot of the stream, I'll probably watch it later (though not in one sitting). Also it has to be said that he really does a fantastic job interacting with the community. Not only during this stream but also on other streams or just here in the forums.

For those wondering, I don't think we will be able to post an archive of these streams :/ We just did not have the man power to archive and cut this thing up. Rorie was pretty much going solo and even having Ian split his time in the control room and couch for the second stream just didn't make it possible. You can still watch the streams on Twitch or use a site like savedeo to grab the HD flv files. That all being said we had an incredible time. Let's all remember the duder house in happier times before the great fire and human zoo fiasco.

I almost lost my mind around 5am so super super thanks for all of you who tuned into the streams. Rorie, Danny, Ian and I all really appreciated the support. That was FUN!

It seems to crazy to waste Rorie's time with bizdev BS, duder is seriously talented! thefact he could make an 11 hour solo stream super interesting says everything. I hope GB is moving Rorie to Senior Editor, hiring a proper bizdev dude, he has been awesome with his current role but i really miss his on-screen work and articles!

Wait, Rorie played Alpha Protocol? I actually need to see that.

Not only did he play it, but he shared some cool stories about how he worked for Obsidian. He also actually bought the game right then and there and downloaded all 11gigs of it in under 2 minutes with a connection of 45mb/sec. It was like ..well hell.. I thought my internet was pretty good..

I only watched like 3 hours of the stream, but what I saw was great. Rorie was super engaging and seemed to be having a great time himself. Hopefully he does more stuff like that, but either way, excellent job! Mad props!

Just a small thanks to everyone that turned up in the thread!

Initially I was a little bummed when I made the topic and it quickly fell off the first page with barely a mention (thanks to @yummylee for jumpstarting it back up). Recently there have been a few threads where a lot of us voiced criticisms about the site - some of them warranted some not. As much as I think it's important to point out when something isn't being handled very well, it's equally as important to voice praise when it's due.

So I'm happy that a lot of people stopped by and left their "props" to show that hey, we might complain from time to time but we also appreciate the hard work as well.

Rorie was great but let's not forget how amazing Ian and Alexis were too. I went to sleep with the stream on and was awoken by loud laughter and when I looked at the TV it was the Lifeguard game. Waking up to that was the most confusing thing ever. And man Ian is a trooper almost getting to the end of that horrid game. I laughed pretty hard at that whole segment.

Couldn't catch much of Rories stream but from what I hear and what I saw of the Danny/Alexis/Ian part I'd say it was a good show all around. I'm really interested in seeing Rorie play Alpha Protocol.

Did he play Neverwinter Nights? That sounded like it might have been awesome.

So bummed I missed most of the live stream, but there was a LOT of stuff going on this past weekend.

It might be just my 2 cents, but I am of opinion that it's time for Rorie to stop dicking around and become a full time editor, the new hires can pickup the paperwork bit.

@rorie

Thanks for the kind words, all. After using OBS for a while, it seems like a pretty easy program to use, so maybe I'll try streaming some more in the future. I'd like to get through Mask of the Betrayer at some point, but that'll definitely take 20 hours or so just by itself.

I was watching the VOD over the last couple of days. Great work, really entertaining stuff. I really loved the Alpha Protocol part as I love this game. Mr. Rorie definitely needs to get more camera time.

@alexisg: Hadn't heard of that Savedeo site. Thanks for mentioning it.

I watched it and was very entertained and was nice to have a number of my questions answered and get some good conversations going.

Yep it was good.

I've actually started playing through the OG NVW2 campaign, it's pretty awesome!

Agreed, Awesome work Rorie

BIG PROPS

i watched all of rorie.

I recorded a bunch of this along with the chat room. So. There's that. If y-you...y'know...want...that.

Ok, now I really need to watch all of this. Damn me only having internet at work!

@rorie appreciation thread! But yes, agree with all this. He was the pioneer of D Souls streaming, he was doing it long before all the cool kids were doing it. A shame that it kind of fell off.

Please donate! http://www.operationsupplydrop.org/team/gamebomb

@fattony12000: Good job! On putting the stuff on YouTube, I mean.

IF I don't donate will.. will Matt Rorie burn me..?

Awjeez!
