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.

They could have made it work by talking between waves and between rounds-- and they did do that, but it didn't work, because I couldn't hear most of what they said, because I had the volume down so I wouldn't go deaf. That yelling really did pretty much ruin (for me) anything they wanted to present that wasn't gameplay. They should've had someone tell him over the headphones or via cue card or whatever to knock it off.
The sad thing is when he wasn't yelling his enthusiasm was actually kind of infectious; when he got excited about the scorch cannon, I got excited too, then he started screaming his head off again and I went back to tuning it out and turning it down.
