Mario Party Party 5 Waiting Room

I'll watch the video. Not into the idea that much, but not into a lot of the ideas that seem to come from GBwest these days honestly. Could be potentially awesome, I will say that.

EDIT: Also isn't 5 the one with the voice mini games? If it is, they should not do it, that would be impossible in a live setting with potentially hundreds of people watching. Also sub Vinny in for Drew, he would bring a light hearted mood to counter Brad and Jeff.

It's been like 1/3 year since their last Mario Party. Surely their Mario Party-inflicted wounds must have healed by now.

Then again, mine never did, and it's been decades..

@nightriff: That was 6.

@error52: Oh thank god, I want them to experience that in a studio setting, not a live one

There live stuff is always worse than there studio stuff (not for the people there I'm sure but they make up a tiny amount of there actual audience) I'd rather they kept there features separate. Stick to the silly wrestling stuff for the live shows I'm not in the slightest bit invested in that. :)

So will this be live streamed?

So... What is getting turned down? (If time-stamp doesn't work, skip to 7:20.)

But seriously, I'm pretty excited for this!

They announced this is on Friday, right? Has an official time been stated?

Who won the previous ones again?

@odyssey413: Dan, Drew, Dan, Brad

I was watching random highlight reels of the past Mario Party Parties and I randomly paused the video at this part. Kind of sums up the series in a lot of ways.

Only a few more days!

@dewar: I believe it will be during their panel which is Saturday 8:00-10:00 pm PST. Gonna be a late night over here on the east coast.

It their panel is in the Sasquatch theatre which I understand is NOT being streamed on the twitch pax feeds but I believe that Drew said the game would be streamed on giant bomb.

While I'm very excited, how exactly are they planning on limiting this thing to two hours? Haven't they all been like 3 hours so far?

Edit: nevermind. Bombcast said they aren't streaming Saturday night and didn't talk about the Mario party party. Now I'm confused

@bceagles128: It will be on Friday afternoon, separate from their Saturday panel. It's in the Coming Soon box on the front page.

IT"S SO CLOSE !

This should be highly amusing with a live crowd!

2pm tomorrow at the Parlor, right? I unfortunately can't go to PAX so this is gonna be my substitute.

is MPP5 going to be streamed and/or uploaded for premium members?

@reicher: It'll be streamed out, starting at 2PM

"Mr Gerstmann, I'm your PAX-appointed E-sports agent. It's time."

Did the stream start yet ?

Top of the hour.

Anybody else having trouble finding the stream?

@danishingact: I found it on youtube but it still says "Live stream is starting soon". Still haven't seen it come up on the site.

@chalkypink: oh, okay. Thanks for the heads up. Was worried I was doing something wrong.

@danishingact: actually we're both wrong it's just at www.giantbomb.com/chat but I'm having trouble actually getting the video feed to open, I can see everyone chatting about it.

This is going to be even worse than a normal Mario Party Party. Audience chanting or attempted participation seems like such an awful idea.

EVERY Mario Party PARTY needs to be done with a live studio audience from this day forward....... So far crowd chanting and side comments have been gold and even makes stuff funnier. Brad killing it!!!!! Can't wait for the eventual fall from grace and his "Noooooooooooo" such a great day off.

The only thing that sucks is the guys have less time to actually enjoy themselves around the city with a MPP and a Pax Rumble/Mania.

Holy fucking shit.

And people thought the live audience would suck.

DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW DREW

Drew, the hero we wanted, the hero we deserved! :p

But yeah live audience was totally fucking great!

Comeback Scanlon!

THE GREATEST NIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR SPORT

That was such an awesome stream. The live audience made everything that happened feel bigger and better. And what a way to finish!

Skill...

I'm still not sure how that happened. One moment the star count was something like 7-2-1-0, and the next...

Solid Scanlon... who could have ever doubted?

(best ending to a Mario Party stream ever)

That might be my favourite GB "moment" ever. Those last 5 turns were ridiculous.

@samcotts said:

Yup, I left near the end when dan was like 4 stars in the lead (needed to go somewhere) but thankfully remembered to pause the stream. I wish I could have seen the chat when shit went down, but the crowd was awesome.

So happy you can pause and resume whole streams.

Maaaaan. My buddies and I were all watching the stream. Heart palpitations everywhere. Congrats, Drew! Good job to Brad and Jeff! We all still love you, Dan. :3

I'm afraid they can't; the next two Mario Party use the microphone add-on. It wouldn't work well with a whole punch of people screaming around it. It doesn't even work well alone.

Shouldn't that be "THE GREATEST NIGHT IN THE HISTORY OF OUR E-SPORTS"?

That was esports. Brad "Kingmaker" Shoemaker and Drew "The Comeback Kid" Scanlon.

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure Drew also got his first win on a late game comeback.

Mario Party is a game of skill. Just ask Drew.

Truly the student has become the master.

Jeff getting trounced, Dan heeling and then falling short, Drew benefiting from all the BS. Great show!

The audience was mostly great but a little too much peanut gallery type business going on as it went along for me but they did add a lot of energy to things of course and the drama was real.

Without a shadow of a doubt one of the best videos GiantBomb have ever produced. Went from rooting super hard for Drew, to heartbreak when he got screwed over, despair at Dan so obviously going to win, and then pure elation when everything turned on him at the end. WHAT A THRILL

Edit: Also THAT was eSports!

@manhattan_project: It's been a while but I think Drew won Mario Party 2 by basically rocketing into first in the last 5 turns too? Drews won the two good Mario Partys in the best way possible: complete last minute bullshit. And skill ofc

That was like wrestlemania in the attitude era. So good.
