And to think people were whining about Gothalion... (Destiny)

End the Broman

At least he was a straight-shooter who asked the real questions. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed his being there.

The Triplewreck guy gave me a chuckle with how lame and awkward he was. Helped contrast his playing skills; made him human... but he was pretty much pointless overall.

This guy though... yeesh.

I've been thinking about this all day- Honestly, I think Goth worked so well (comparatively) because he functioned mostly as an interviewer for that stream, based on the fact that not much gameplay was happening.

Like someone else here mentioned, it's hard to play and talk at the same time. I think a better system would have been for the guest to be with Deej and the designers in an observatory role, acting as a cipher for regular players and asking questions, while Bungie's testers demo what an ideal game session looks like.
