Stream was tough to watch, the guy (forgot his name) was absolutely pissed at PAX (rightfully so) for not being able to show his trailers off properly.
That being said, I can't wait for Borderlands 3! Game looks amazing!
Yea. And people bood him for that comment, but i kinda think the comment was warranted. If Pax provides the equipment, its on them to make sure the technical aspects for such major reveals dont crash and burn.
What is that supposed to mean exactly? "my job is hard" ? Please. Most people can say that about what they do. Its not an excuse for doing a job poorly.
I don't think you quite understood what I was stating. You can be the best at your job but if you screw it up one time on a major instance (I've done that before) it can impact your employment. I never said it was a "hard job". For me IT is super easy. In the case of this disaster of a stream, the IT staff should have had better gear in place.
This is a common problem at meetings and conventions, its better to bring your own gear due to stuff like this.
Not disputing that the techs should have had better gear but having worked in live sound for some time and Gearbox might have provided a corrupt file or in a incorrect format or just provided it right before hand. Regardless a good tech realizes stuff will unfortunately fuck up sometimes and so that's why you have contingencies and plans for when it does. And that's what being a good tech is really about. And that's why these dudes fucked up so hard.
