The Third Annual “Jarenth and Josh Stream Themselves Being Dumb for New Year’s Eve” Stream!

It’s that time of year again; that wonderful time when Jarenth and I take over the website so we can stream ourselves being dumb for a few hours while Shamus isn’t looking.

This year we’ll be playing…

Uh.

Actually, I don’t know what we’ll be playing yet! But we’ll be playing something! And it probably won’t be Nethack! (That would be sadness.)

The stream will start at 8 PM Pacific/11 PM Eastern/4 AM British on New Year’s Eve (December 31st), or if you’re in Europe, New Year’s Day (January 1st).

And don’t tell Shamus!

      /me kills Winfield

  2. Mersadeon says:

    Darn. Wish I could watch that. Don’t think I can make it. A shame.

    To another year of insightful stuff on this wonderful website!

      Needs moar graphix! :P

      Half Life 2: Season 3: Episode 4!

      1. el_b says:

        portal origins!

        1. MrGuy says:

          System Shock 3

  4. Jarenth says:

    It’s possible that you think Josh is joking, right now, re: ‘we have no idea what this stream is going to be about’.

    But does Josh ever joke?

    1. ET says:

      I think he’s more like Loki.
      Like, he’s in a perpetual state of mischief, trolling, and shenanigans.
      At least he’s less murderous than that Norse jerk! :P

      1. Gordon says:

        In all fairness to Loki, he’s only really murdered one person – Baldur. and even then, he only orchestrated it – the blind god Hod fired the arrow.

        What I’m saying is, have Loki and Josh ever been photographed in the same place at the same time? does he need to team up with Gabe Newell, the capricious Mesopotamian god?

        1. MrGuy says:

          In all fairness to Loki, he's only really murdered one person ““ Baldur. and even then, he only orchestrated it ““ the blind god Hod fired the arrow.

          And even then, it was Baldur’s mom’s fault in the first place.

      2. el_b says:

        less murderous? Do you actually watch the show?!

        1. ET says:

          That’s Reginald Cuftburt.
          Josh is completely a different person, and 11/10 doctors agree.

    2. MrGuy says:

      Josh does not “joke.”

      Josh “is drunk.”

  5. McNutcase says:

    I’d suggest Saints Row 4, but that’s kind of a been there done that thing. Maybe Don’t Starve?

  6. ET says:

    Legend of Dungeon might be good for streaming purposes.
    It’s shortish, simple, and best when played with more than one person.
    Although it’s local-only multiplayer, so if you don’t have a way of being in the same room…

    What about Spelunky? (The remake)
    Randomized, platformy, and has multiplayer built in!
    All things I like! :)

  7. Halceon says:

    Go for Artemis. Because Artemis.

    1. Dave B. says:

      This would be hilarious!

  8. Muspel says:

    They’re going to stream Guild Wars’ login screen for three hours while Josh waxes poetic about it. I can see it now.

    1. el_b says:

      they’re going to play dota but only talk about LOL

    2. A. Hieronymus Bosch says:

      Hmmmmm.

      I would be fine with this.

  9. DGM says:

    I wouldn’t mind actually getting to see some Good Robot footage.

    Just make sure to record properly this time if you go for that, please.

  10. Aldowyn says:

    You should do nethack, just as a joke.

    1. A. Hieronymus Bosch says:

      No, no, no. They should play IvAN.

      1. ET says:

        Hah! That’d be a short game. :P
        BTW, has anyone modded the game, or continued development of it?
        Last time I checked, it was fun/playable, but hadn’t been worked on in several years.

        1. A. Hieronymus Bosch says:

          It was still dead the last time I checked.

  11. DGM says:

    Something’s off with the comment tracking. From the blog’s front page it says there’s 20 comments (at the time I type this), but from this page it says there’s only 19. My manual count also says 19.

    1. Epopisces says:

      Perhaps the post itself is counted as a comment?

      1. MrGuy says:

        Or there’s something in the mod queue…

    2. Muspel says:

      Perhaps there was a deleted comment, or something is stuck in moderation.

    3. Jacob Albano says:

      For me it says “No comments whatsoever.”

      Imagine my surprise.

      1. Scott Schulz says:

        Sad. I contributed a Rumi quote that was used for the pickaxe, back in the day.

        1. Scott Schulz says:

          Eke. Hit the wrong reply button. That thought should go under the Nethack thread.

      2. Shamus says:

        Yeah, the comments table got messed up last night and I had to do a repair on it. That fixed the incorrect number of comments, but for whatever reason it was reporting zero comments. I think that number sorted itself out when a new comment was left.

  12. HiEv says:

    It might be amusing to watch them play a few hours of Terraria or Starbound, whichever they know least well. If you’re not familiar with them, think of side-scrolling Minecraft with bosses. Terraria is the older one which just got some new Christmas content, while Starbound is the newer one somewhat based on Terraria that’s still in alpha and Shamus recently did a review of.

  13. anaphysik says:

    Josh, you & Jarenth should co-create an expansion to everyone’s favourite internet-themed Japanese multimedia property.

    You can call it .hack//Net

  14. PlasmaPony says:

    Alas, I will be too busy getting drunk and trying to make out with girls to watch this for more than maybe half an hour. I feel like a bad nerd.

    1. Jarenth says:

      That’s alright. You were at Auntie Paladin a lot, your nerd cred is pretty safe for now.

  15. Zukhramm says:

    5 in the morning? Well that’s a time!

  16. Eschatos says:

    Play Nethack!

  17. Merzendi says:

    Gonna put the link up for the stream soon, guys?

  18. Touraxus says:

    While I only got in to gun for shamus’s last match.
    The game was fun as hell.
    Any attempts to organize normal groups would be welcomed.
    Hell, I have 3 copies of the game to gift on steam since I bought the 4 pack.
    And all Hail the Ernie!!!!
