GiantSync has the YouTube stream locked and loaded.

 

[Lunar FC]

We vive from the gutter!

 

[faridmon]

Was the last one only for Oculus?
I thought they did a stream on both Oculus and Vive's Launch games.

 

[libertytoast]

Is there enough Vive content for them to stream for 8 hours again?

Yeah. My fear is that some of the stuff on the Steam store doesn't look that stellar. Giant Bomb focused on the quality of the games more than the tech when the did the Rift stream.

Yup, just the Rift last time. Vive hadn't launched yet.

That's my hope. Give me all the nonsense

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

- went to steam store
- checked "browse by genre"
- did not see "VR" or "Vive"
- :/

Silly imo... I hope that add that very soon. Like today.

Steam > Games > Virtual Reality.

Try harder next time, I guess?

 

[kiguel182]

Going to miss the first 20 or so minutes of this. I'll be on for the rest!

 

[Antiwhippy]

realising I'm acting like a petulant toddler about neither of my new toys arriving on time makes me realise just how fragile the veneer of adulthood really is.

It's a silly cultural illusion anyway.

There's no sudden stoppage where we're all knowing and experienced. It's something we will continue to gain till we die, or until we know that we're satisfied.

 

[breakfuss]

Lol nice title! Look forward to watching this later tonight...their Oculus stream was great.

 

[kiguel182]

Woke up.
Texted my boss saying I won't be in today.
Got in the car to pick up coffee and the most garbage of foods.
Hopped back in bed.

I'm ready!

I want a cool boss like that.

"I wasn’t expecting the Vive stream to run as long as the Oculus stream, but new games keep popping up on Steam. It’s gonna be a long one."

 

[faridmon]

Yup, just the Rift last time. Vive hadn't launched yet.

Wow

8 Hours on one platform seems... excessive.

I want a cool boss like that.

I think it depends on the job. I had a flat mate who was a broker and could miss work whenevr he felt like it.

I don't have that option though.

 

[RPGam3r]

I like these streams. Ironically they absolutely convinced me that I'm passing on VR for the foreseeable future.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Wow

8 Hours on one platform seems... excessive.

Or not enough!

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Here's to another highly unproductive Tuesday!

 

[Teddified]

Happy Vive day everyone!

 

[kiguel182]

They didn't order lunch last time. Hopefully they'll fix that this week.

 

[mario_O]

Oh good, will watch. This stream should be more interesting than the Rift. Room-scale & motion controllers VR.

 

[Myggen]

Wow

8 Hours on one platform seems... excessive.

They did 10 hours.

 

[Zaph]

Wow

8 Hours on one platform seems... excessive.

Not when you consider a 'Quick Look' on the site can last up to 2 hours.

 

[Raticus79]

Is there enough Vive content for them to stream for 8 hours again?

Something like 110 Vive compatible games, 85 with tracked controller support.

Looking forward to this!

Every time I refresh the Steam release list at least one more Vive-ready game appears. It’s scary.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Is the YouTube stream going to stop every hour and play an ad?

 

[Data West]

!

 

[kingocfs]

While it's clearly a deal breaker for a lot of people, if you're going to do VR, there shouldn't be any half measures. Room-scale or bust. #teamvive

 

[libertytoast]

Not if you have adblock or ublock installed.

Thanks! I don't use Steam enough to think of that, I guess?

Wow, that's a lot of software... VR really is getting a massively supported launch! It would be expensive to sample all of that though... I would like to know what kind of a bill Giantbomb will run as they scoop these up.

 

[TharpDaddy]

GB didn't do a 24 hour livestream for extra life last year, instead we're getting a 24 hour VR livestream as more and more games pile up.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Not if you have adblock or ublock installed.

I'm using my Nexus 9, and ad blocking can be inconsistent on mobile. GB's live player on mobile is super shitty though.

I find it kinda funny
I find it kinda sad
The dreams in which I'm viving
Are the best I've ever had

Top notch! You'll go far.

I kind of have to agree, but we'll see today if the games are worth a damn or if they're in the same trouble as the Oculus games.

 

[NumberThree]

Wow

8 Hours on one platform seems... excessive.

They usually play everything available at launch, however long that takes.

 

[Easy_D]

They finally stream on Twitch too? God damn son.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

They finally stream on Twitch too? God damn son.

They have been since last year, I think? At least, when the authentication plays nice between the three services (Youtube, their site, twitch).

Brads version:

I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of Sad
The games in which I'm dying
are the best vive ever had.

We can't all be English majors

 

[TharpDaddy]

This image makes it look like they might be doing room scale stuff?

 

[Myggen]

They have.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Let's see how many jimmies get rustled!

It.....it wasn't an insult? I'm now confused.

 

[Easy_D]

Oh, I'm clearly out of the GB game :lol.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Err, didn't they do a 72 hour one?

 

[libertytoast]

This image makes it look like they might be doing room scale stuff?

I'd imagine so, since that's the Vive's bread and butter.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Err, didn't they do a 72 hour one?

All together yeah, but not one set of people doing the entire time.

 

[BUNTING1243]

It.....it wasn't an insult? I'm now confused.

Oh I was making a joke about Brad being an English major, no offense taken!

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

This image makes it look like they might be doing room scale stuff?

Please tell me they put up both lighthouses.

 

[Myggen]

Err, didn't they do a 72 hour one?

Hes talking about a single 24 hour stream from the office.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Err, didn't they do a 72 hour one?

It isn't the same thing!!!!
