@snide: You sneaky sneak you. You know Giant Bomb users want to see them all now. and I'd like to find a better way than blindly hammering the GB servers.
More of a targeted hammer really
@JJWeatherman: He'll wear the mask but not look at you right?
" Dude. If this is what is a small sample of whats waiting for me beyond those subscription doors, I'll have to send a perfume laden letter to those boys along with a check for several million pennies. "
Nah, this won't be something you pay for. "
How do you know? "
Common sense. When Dave and other Whiskey Staff have made it clear that they don't want to alienate non-subscribers by denying them important content, why would they then show a commercial for a live show to everyone, but then later announce that only subscribing members get to be part of the action? This will obviously be available to everyone on the site. "
Agreed. I don't think this is the kind of thing they would work into the subscription model. I guess we'll have to wait and see though. Man this is exciting! "
I don't necessarily mean this show/content exactly. In fact, I'm with you JJ - if they were to charge for this show, that would be a huge mistake. But I am seeing the 9.9 date as a launching of the subscription model. I'm talking about what this represents. If they're going to be really working on alot of streaming events/shows/whathaveyou, then I'm stoked. I'm already paying a full year, so whatever they've got cookin, I've got loading.
I still haven't seen the Ryan one, I've seen 5 so far though Dave, you need to make Ryan Banjo pop more often, unless you made it super rare by design. This is the breakdown of my impartial testing.
Only found five different promos (I feel like you're messing with us, Snider... "Ryan playing a banjo" indeed...), but I grabbed each one of 'em, made 'em into AVIs, and place them all in this neat little ZIP file for all to download. No "Dave with pants" promo though. I feel they're going to release another set of videos as The Big Live Live Show: Live draws ever closer.
I got Jeff pulling down his pants when asked to see his "talent". It really caught me off guard, because I was just refreshing a video I had already started earlier.
It is obviously that this is going to be a one hour special where the Giant Bomb crew announces that they are going to take their talents to South Beach.
" oh. so they're going to announce the whole subscription stuff live? awesome. "
I dunno. Would they really make a big deal about an announcement of a subscription service? Maybe they will announce the subscription stuff during the Big Live Live Show, but I have a feeling that it will be more of a OnTheSpot type thing that airs weekly or so. I don't really think the Big Live Live Show is going to exist just to make an announcement about the subscription service.
" It is obviously that this is going to be a one hour special where the Giant Bomb crew announces that they are going to take their talents to South Beach. "
Anyway, I'd be surprised if this isn't going behind the subscription payment. Maybe the first few will be free to get people interested, then they'll put them behind the sub?
