Why do all streamers have those like, 5-point harness racing chairs? Does that company just give them all to any one that streams for free? Can I make a twitch channel real quick because I could use a new chair?

I think that actually is pretty common yea, the company will send them to streamers if they think they're popular enough for it to serve as free advertising.

Because they're really comfy and if you're going to be playing games for 6+ hours at a time it's a good idea to get a good chair.

Are they actually any better than something proper like a Steelcase Leap or Aeron chair? My guess would be that no, but they're more extreme gamer looking.

The Aeron isn't any better than the Mirra or Mirra 2, and costs a lot more.

Yeah pretty much, it just has a lot of hype and name recognition.


So does the stream start around now or in an hour? According to google's time conversion it should be now, but my east-coast clock is showing only 7:30 :(

Night one was pretty great. Didn't realize the first movie was a forgotten childhood favorite and the second was a whole lot better than I thought it was going to be. Bonuses were solid too.

Vault was great and I'd planned on watching it again this year anyway so that saved some time.

ABCs 2 was a real mixed bag. The good parts were really good, the bad parts were awful (F is for gently caress that lovely story) and the names were too detached from the actual story most of the time. Shame the director of Z used it as an excuse for weird fetish crap, it was ending on mostly high notes up until that.

Really enjoyed Vault of Horror last night. I love British horror so much.

ABCs of Death 2 had a few interesting moments but it's not something I'd ever recommend because it's not consistent enough. Which is impossible when you have 26 shorts and, according to the opening crawl, you don't exercise any sort of creative control or editing over what gets in and what doesn't. Seems inevitable that like a third of them will end up being poo poo, which they were.

If we're getting an episode of Ghostbusters after every stream that's exciting, The Boogeyman Cometh is one of my favorite episodes of that show.

Sorry, I jumped the gun on the raffle. Usually I wait until like 5 PM the next day but I knew I was gonna be busy today and figured I'd get it out of the way. You can try again next week. :shobon:
