After the great success that was yesterday's Big Live Live Show Live I'm starting a campaign to convince the Whiskey Media guys to do something similar later in the year as a Holiday Special! I'm thinking something along the lines of the classic old Bob Hope Christmas TV Specials, but with tech, comics, games, bad movies and drunken buffoonery. The idea would be it's the WORST CHRISTMAS EVER in the WM offices, nobody has any plans, they have to work through the holidays and everyone is miserable. Until CHRISTMAS MIRACLES begin to happen as a veritable cornucopia of FESTIVE SPECIAL GUESTS start arriving at the offices to spread Holiday cheer!
*knock knock* "Who could that be at the door? Why, it's Santa Claus (who looks suspiciously like Ryan Davis) with a full sack - of great holiday tech gift ideas for all the family for us to test!"
I'm thinking Will Smith could play the drunk uncle who passes out on the couch halfway through the show after drinking way too much spiked egg nog.
You get the idea. Everyone would have to wear gaudy sweaters with reindeers on them, and I'm imagining the whole thing ending with the entire WM crew standing around the fireplace linking arms and singing Christmas carols. Sounds great to me, hell even I'd sign up for a sub based on that level of awesomeness. If they get this right they could even trump the Star Wars Holiday Special as greatest Holiday Special ever!
Post here in support if you want to see this CHRISTMAS MIRACLE COME TRUE and bring yuletide joy to everyone this holiday season!
Whiskey Media LIVE Holiday Special?
I was actually suggesting we should see something like this in the chat, yesterday. A nice long marathon.
Also, as part of the "subscriber" bonuses to encourage support, I'd love to see stuff like "Retro Game Night", where Giant Bomb personalities get together for a couple hours to play things like boardgames, live. Monopoly, Sorry, Pictionary. You name it.
ALSO, there needs to be a Demon's Souls endurance run, while the servers are still up.
Yesterday was incredibly fun and I demand more.
CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! CHRISTMAS SPECIAL!
Nice idea, but think about it...will you actually have time during the holidays to watch all this? Most people will be busy. And I doubt the Whiskey Media crew will want to be working on Christmas...
I think it'd be BA if they had a surprise secret Santa sort of thing where they fly in a lucky community winner and they get to watch and be there for the filming. Or something. Crowd the basement up even more, so many shenanigans. It'd be all "Make A Wish" and incredibly goofy. Luchadeer could have a glowing red nose and it would be so magical. Oh drat, now I"m all hopeful.
I would most definitely watch a Christmas special although I'm on the east coast so it would be christmas earlier :(
That being said, I love you Gary!
Yes! I'm in. I ALSO HOPE THEY ALLOW ME TO USE PAYPAL TO GIVE THEM MONEY TO BECOME A PAID MEMBER SOMETIME SOON. FUCK.
What's amazing is this post is from three months ago.
What's even more amazing is i was able to read the entire post in your voice Mr Whitta. I've been listening to way too many Tested podcasts.
