Hard to believe it's already been a whole year since the last one of these, huh? Well, despite the deep, deep psychic scars that last year's show left, we're doing it all over again for 2011! The Second Annual Whiskey Media Big Live Live Show: Live! is the one time of year that the Whiskey Media family of websites--including Comic Vine, Tested, Screened, and, of course, Giant Bomb--set aside our ongoing and convoluted blood feuds and put on an action-packed day-long variety show for you, our absolute favorite people in the world. We'll have special guests old and new, musical interludes, live game demos, surprises, ridiculousness, and more! In case you missed last year, or have simply blocked out all memory of it as a defense mechanism, here's a quick taste:
So why, pray tell, would we put ourselves through this all over again? In part because, as much as we all joke about how stressful and terrifying the notion of putting on a day-long live show with dozens of segments, guests from across the country, and literally thousands of ways in which it could all go completely, horribly wrong, the show itself is actually a complete blast. We hope it also provides compelling evidence that Whiskey Media produces content that's worth signing up for our premium memberships, the benefits of which we'll be expanding on for their second year.
Hopefully you've made yourself familiar with the exciting, all-hours randomness of the Big Red Phone. We'll also be extending our HD video offerings to the living room via native apps for Boxee, Roku, XBMC, and Plix, producing daily, exclusive, members-only video content across the network, providing $15 vouchers for the soon-to-be freshly expanded Whiskey Media Store, and much much more! Sign up or make sure your existing premium membership is up-to-date, or you might just miss out on the exclusive members-only stream during the Big Live Live Show: Live!
So call in sick. Cancel that date. You didn't really need to see the dentist anyway! It starts at 10AM Pacific Time, and goes until the goddamn wheels fall off!
the image is great
DAYMMMM!!
Absolutely heartbreaking that my shift begins at the exact same time this does. If I could call in sick, I totally would.
Sweetnass!
Why oh why do I have to have classes from 10-5 on Fridays? D=
And this is why not having any classes on Fridays is awesome
I'm gonna be at home with crappy Internet tomorrow, so I hope they use the Giant Bomb Justin.tv account that allows you to change video quality so I'll actually be able to watch it...
No one has said, or i've not heard at least that this will be archived, i'm hoping it is as alot of Premium members wont be able to watch it. I'm at work for a majority of it and I live in the UK so time zones kinda mess that up. If someone knows, please let me know. :)
Call in sick is right. Too bad all the Whisky live stuff happens during work hours. :(
Day off tomorrow confirmed. Missed the bulk of this last year. Actually I'm considering staying up all night tonight and watching last year's to prepare, but sleep is probably the better option.
well, i was gonna call in sick anyways, on account of being sick.
so... yay?
my body is ready.
Fuck yeah not being busy.
I'll be able to catch the first half and the tail end because I work, oh well.

It's a behind the scenes stream. It's the little screen at the bottom in the chat.
I'll be in the office tomorrow but that doesn't mean any work will get done.
But but but... I've already used up all of my sick days for work to go to PAX! :C

If you're referring to the free stream I'm pretty sure everything that they stream on Justin.tv aside from the premium stuff is archived there (you can go to Justin.tv right now and watch the entire BLLSL stream from last year for instance) so I doubt they would archive the entire eight-hour show on the site since that would be a ridiculous amount of bandwidth. Then again, the entire SNES marathon was archived so who knows?
As for the behind-the-scenes premium stream, I hope they at least archive the best parts of it, if not the whole thing.
