Playdate: Abby's Birthday Party Stream!

I know this was posted yesterday, but it's my birthday today, and checking the site just now to see the name of this stream gave me a weird, outer body feeling for a second.

Happy birthday Abby, and all January babies!

@gyoru: this is why the internet was created

Happy birthday Abby. One party full of energy with booth cams, wedding on toilets and Mike working out that he could take on a Vampire (like Dan).

I don't like playing the Sims all that much but I sure love watching Abbey play it!

Loved this! Happy birthday Abby!

Russell/Sims collabs are pure gold.

Happy birthday Abby!

Fucking hell a lot of people seem to like this... I think Abby can just start twitch streaming The Sims and Nancy Drew games and rake in all the cash. Then I won't have to get them on Giant Bomb.

@sini_23: I wish.

What a fun stream! So cool to see Ashley as a guest, would love to see her come back! Abby should definitely start a consistent sims feature

Holy crap this was so great I had to watch it a second time in the archive after seeing it live.

I used to write drivers for Pan, Tilt, Zoom cameras a decade ago, so, happy to see one of those turns to a saved position again.

I watched this before I went to sleep last night, and then I had a dream that Moby was following me around everywhere... I have a strange feeling this video is to blame for that.

Welcome Ashley!

Happy Birthday Abby! Abby's Sims content is the best content.

Happy birthday, Abby!

This was a super fun stream, Thanks and happy birthday Abby.

Happy birthday Abby.

Abby is such a great addition to the staff, so glad she's here. Happy Birthday, Abby!

Happy birthday Abby! Apparently we have the same birthday

What a great stream. Happy birthday, Abby.

This was hilarious from start to end. The Vinny narrative was peeeerfect.

Awesome show. Had a great time watching this one.

Happy birthday, Abby!

Good lord this was almost too delightful for words. Happy Bday Abby!

I don't know why I find it so friggen funny whenever Abby makes characters out of her colleagues and plays them in Sims 4. It always knocks me out. Thanks Abby!

Fantastic

A day late, but Happy Birthday Abby!

I'm from Louisiana and I have never heard of a "Louisiana Crunch Cake." I had to look it up, and from what I can find it's probably misnamed and definitely not common in the Gulf South. This is unimportant information, but I had to pause the stream and look this up right away. Side note: one of my favorite deserts is lemon Doberge cake, which IS a local thing and according to the wiki, the creator of the recipe is from my hometown of St. Rose, La. Again, unimportant... nobody cares about this... I like cake, though.

My name is Buck and I like to Party

Happy birthday Abby!

The last 20 minutes had me in tears

Fantastic stream!

Holy moly, as a graduate of Hamilton...hearing that “goyle”-ing a keg is from there is the least surprising thing. What a great stream. Happy Birthday, Abby!

Good stuff!

@failburn: I agree with this!

Abby and Mary Poppins only have one thing in common, they're both practically perfect in every way!

very, very good stream. one of the funniest playdates in quite some time!

happy (belated) birthday, abby!

@jeffgoldblum: yo she's been here nearly 3 years, you can stop saying that lol

Happy to see Ashley's first appearance on Giant Bomb! She was great on the Polygon show.

My favorite moment from the stream:

This was a delight. Happy belated birthday Abby.

Alex x Dobby "fanart" please.

Vinny's camera hijinks is perhaps the greatest thing. Really makes me smile.

So good.

Congrats Abby! Welcome Ashley!

Again, please put this chat box at the top of the stream :( Or Id also appreciate any UX info if this was actually not a good idea in research

But about the video, this was hilarious. I hope this series goes on for a while, but in moderation!

@azuregale: Mike and Ashley are GameSpot though...

Ashley works for Gamespot now? Awesome I'm glad she got to stay in gaming.

I miss 7 Deadly Sims. Abby needs to do another Sims feature!

Great host. Great guests. Great party.

Big bird looks like Dave Mustaine.
