My Happy Hour cherry

By melcene 63 Comments

I lost my Happy Hour cherry today, and I feel dirty and awful. 
 
Ok seriously... I've never watched a Happy Hour before... but if they have a female, is the chat always that bad??  I mean, I get that Sara Lima is attractive.  But jeezus.  No wonder there are stereotypes about gamers and nerds, people.  The previous segment with the Asian chick wasn't a whole lot better.  (Of course Sara's tube top helped really derail that chat.) 
 
But besides that... holy crap the chat is tough to keep up with sometimes.  I think maybe I'm glad of it though, because if it were easier to keep track of, I might be there too often.  And I already spend far more time than I should messing around on GiantBomb/Screened and not doing work.
 
Also:  What are the odds that the IT department at work would be able to track the streaming activity to my computer?  That's why I don't really ever stream videos.  Concerned about getting in trouble.

I watch the video in fullscreen for the most part so the chat is not an issue. I recommend this approach.
This is how I solve the issue when chat gets a little too much.

I can never follow the chat, I just turn it off when it gets too annoying.

Whiskey media needs more female hosts, having one just makes all the creepers gang up on her.

I was only commenting on Sara because she looked like a cheap prostitute. Seriously, she should just wear a neon sign that says "I'M DESPERATE FOR ATTENTION".
You really need to get laid.

@melcene: Yep, unfortunately quite a few members of this community are sex starved pervs, even during paid HH's.If i use the chat, I always turn the chat off whenever a woman is present on set. You should have seen it during the Big Live Live Show Live, disgusting.  
 
Most of the time I'm just in fullscreen though.

The Giant Bomb chatroom can be amazingly immature during the Happy Hour, whether it's a free hour or for subscribers only.

I usually don't watch live, but I always turn off the chat when I do. Sometimes I'll open it up so I can ask a question, but I close it back up when I'm done. A lot of these kids that go mental whenever a girl is on-screen are the same ones that say gaming is a level playing field for guys and girls and wonder why they can't get a date if they're such "nice guys", so it's even more annoying that they can't realize their own hypocrisy.

Thats why I ether ignore the chat or use the screened chat. There was a lot of hate going on between screened users and giantbomb users when the giantbomb chat was down and they starting visiting the other chats. Seriously guys were all one big family here.
We were only messing, well I was. @Melcene If the hectic GB chat is not to your liking then head on to Screened, Comicvine or Tested chat.

I turn off the chat right away whenever I watch a live stream. I really do think that it should be disabled altogether. Just have a Question Submit Form replacing the chat itself.

They're also the same group that complains about the crowd over at Anime Vice.  Pots and kettles.

@melcene: You really need to not use GB chat. Tested chat was completely normal. Or if you're going to be in GB, go fullscreen. Trust me, it'll help you retain your faith in humanity. 
 
It's too bad you weren't there before the show started, though, because we were actually having normal conversations at like 4:30 EDT.
