For those who can't attend, we could talk while the webcast is going on in #pmchat. May as well complete the virtual ARGFest experience with some friends!

Yeah, crap, I gotta work too. Sad

I will try to join in later in the day, but are there any plans to tape and archive this for later viewing?

... because if so, I might be sitting on my panel with a plate of nachos, just because.

Hey...

If anyone can possibly record some (or indeed all) of the webcast, that would be really awesome for people who can't watch. I'm willing to sort out hosting for it if someone can get it my way.

Someone must have the l33t skills to do this, right?

I will be attempting to record it, hopefully, that will work out.

We're all in IRC and watching the live webcast, and I gotta applaud everyone who worked on this. The video quality is amazing. I'm halfway around the world and this is the first time I ever get a live stream that doesn't buffer every 10 seconds.

This is really bringing the experience to those people at home.. we're laughing with you guys, asking questions from chat, and generally having our own side-discussions while you people have to stay quiet in the conference room Razz

Special thanks to celina for listening to us and relaying our complaints about the sound volume..

oh yeah, people, less crotch please! You can look into the camera and wave, and we're all gonna go berzerk Smile

We MUST have a live webcast every year at ARGFest.. i'm sure the people at home would even put up a donation budget to get a pro streaming team in.. great work..

Yeah, thats a great idea. I thoroughly enjoyed that webcast, especially beginning where Adrian and Michael were discussing Perplex City, and the lady at the end (couldnt catch her name, missed the beginning of that part Sad

) giving a fruitful insight as to the true meaning of Alternate Reality GAMING (not games Wink

) Did anyone catch what her e-mail and website addresses were, please?

She is Jane McGonigal, her website is http://avantgame.com

and you can probably find her email addy on that site

And yes, thanks to everyone who helped bring this together, the stream was excellent quality, and it was great being able to sit in on the talks with you all
