    Two folks just gave the most embarassing demo of all time at PAX

    Greg was demoing a new Rift Raid on a lap top and the power cord wasn't plugged all the way in so it lost power during the demo. This doesn't have to be TOTALLY a career changing moment, but remember they only have 15 minutes allocated. He DOES get it back up but now they are pressed for time so he uses his GM powers to kill a boss and advance the raid... This bugged the raid...

    I think they will show this new raid again this coming Friday BUT... That's like preaching to the choir. The folks who will be watching on Friday are already sold on Rift. These PAX TwitchTV spots allow them to reach out to a much larger audience. This opportunity was either wasted or destroyed because they didn't plug in the power cord... I WAS EMBARASSED. I wonder if Greg and Elizabeth were?

    They will close the topic, because you use their names in the title! Time would have to learn.
    Don’t hold me up now,
    I can stand my own ground,
    I don’t need your help now,
    You will let me down, down, down!

    I assumed it was a last minute decision to attend PAX, so they just brought a laptop. Embarrassing or not, it was nice to see a part of the Defiance team.

    I found the AMA link: http://www.twitch.tv/twitch/c/2850533 but looking forward to more. OverloadUT looks like a chill and likable dude.

    I missed today's because I don't play rift. Yesterday's watch was a complete waste of time, no real answers or info given to people's questions. As for today, I feel bad for their misfortune.

    You're easily embarrassed then. I once stripped down to my birthday suit in a drunk tank and rubbed my junk on the glass in an attempt to impress the lady jailer.

    It's one of my proudest moments and I ended up dating her for almost 2 years.
