I'm pretty sure he just slipped on the costume.emerald wrote: Tue Oct 10, 2017 9:23 pm Did Phil just change in front of Dan, live? I swear he didn't leave the room haha
Ok, I might've expressed myself too in a wrong way, so I'm sorry if I caused you any uneasiness.casualIDBstalker wrote: Tue Oct 10, 2017 8:33 pmTicia wrote: Tue Oct 10, 2017 8:04 pmChill, mate.casualIDBstalker wrote: Tue Oct 10, 2017 7:13 pm I saw the pics from that game posted on Instagram - I don't think it's right to post pics of something before they announce it. It's obviously something that they worked very hard on & for it to be leaked shitty. If I had that info before anyone else I would keep it to myself, no one gave people the right to post pics & share them.
One of many reasons that fandoms in general are hated is this exact reason - leaking stuff because you wanna look like you have an inside scoop, you wanna brag that you found out first & then sharing it is so disrespectful to the people that you support.
Guaranteed they wanted to do this announcement their own way but now since it's been put out there, it ruins the whole entire thing.
This really pisses me off that someone would want to ruin the reveal for Dan & Phil. They are very meticulous about how they do things; for example, the trailer for their book release was huge so who's to say that they didn't have something special planned to announce the game?
Some info isn't meant to be shared & this was one of those things.
No one broke into their home to steal the game. It was a fan that casually found it and, because they were excited about it, decided to share it with a fandom forum.
And, on that matter, please get off your high horse, "casual stalker": you're in a fandom (this) just like everybody else is. Want to know what creates a bad image of any fandom? fans whining about irrelevant stuff.
I'm not whining, I don't need to "chill mate" & as far as being on a high horse - having an opinion doesn't put me on a high horse - you know like you are allowed your opinion & I'm allowed to have mine as well.
It was wrong to post the pics. So the store that put it out made a mistake but the person who posted the pic shouldn't have shared them. The obvious reasoning being that it hasn't once been mentioned at all by Dan or Phil so it wasn't meant to be known about therefore why share it when you know for a fact that no one, NO ONE knew about it. If it was talked about on any platform by Dan &/or Phil & it wasn't a secret, then fine post them all you want but NO ONE knew about it so why do that??
You need to back off & look at this whole thing from all sides before you come at me.
Haha yeah the whole thing felt a bit... mmm idk weird? Like kind of reminded me of the whole Bahamas debacle with him not understanding why people were freaking out about it. I still stick by my opinion that it's completely understandable that people were/are questioning him about it seeing as he himself went out of his way to tell us to.obscureDnPreference wrote: Tue Oct 10, 2017 9:14 pm After he got at us for asking, I put in chat "YOU TOLD US TO ASK" and he read it. The way he said it and how he responded, I think he forgot he told us to ask about it.
I agree. I think that the “leak” definitely bought hype to it. IDB at the time the board game was posted about suddenly had about 200 lurkers on here and people were talking about it on twitter/tumblr. If the release date I saw is true, then shame on their PR teams for not starting the hype themselves. Dan already started some clever hints by making sure in the background of his liveshow there were some board games from the company they’ve worked with, but nothing gets the phandom going more than something that is leaked. I’m surprised there wasn’t even a hint of an announcement or joint liveshow before it was posted about tbh, especially if it really is due out in 9 days.000dia000 wrote: Tue Oct 10, 2017 9:00 pm I'd nearly argue that this being leaked actually might cause more hype for the game because its such a big surprise. I mean, Dan and Phil will still make their announcement, as they want, when they want, but I think prior phandom knowledge will make it seem more "special" in a way, or is that just me? In that people will do all they can to find out more, research this before it's released, building up the hype and getting people excited to buy.
If it was just released, as was scheduled, then that's that. It's a surprising project, but nothing spectacular. Whoever is interested in buying will buy it, but there's nothing to talk about. But this though? People are talking about it. People are interested. I wouldn't personally buy a board game, and honestly wouldn't have the money, but that doesn't mean I'm searching for pictures, finding everything I can about it, speculating about. This hype and discussion wouldn't be there, but for this leak.
I did a double take when i heard that, he was just talking about that week in March and then read " it's the new party game" and casually just said "indeed" and it really sounded like we was talking about their card game.autumnhearth wrote: Tue Oct 10, 2017 10:04 pm Seriously, somehow the doorbell and the delivery food, Dan telling us to tweet Phil, then calling to Phil, Phil popping in, Dan "making him" put on the cheese costume and just that spontaneous fondness is something I feel like we've been missing from liveshows in this new apartment. Their individual liveshows have just felt very separate and stark, even if we heard Dan clacking away in the background, there was no acknowledgement, no interaction, except for the two planned joint ones and Phil walking into the gaming room livestream, which felt very new and different and lovely of course, but this just felt domestic and familiar and warm. It's the first time it's felt like their home for me.
There were a lot of other good moments before then. I'm really glad that his video will focus on a personal story. I'm so hyped for the calendar (I think you are all right that there will be at least one dog). He acknowledged that week in March and I'm guessing it will either play into his mh vid or be their game announcement, as he said he can address it "after tomorrow". I like how someone in the chat said "party game" and he read it and responded like people bringing up things he drops hints about is a game. I'm genuinely not sure if that was him being spacey or just playing at it.![]()
Same here, actually. I'd rather have dogs, but unless the sets are super elaborate for some reason, it's hard to imagine that would take 3 days to shoot. So my mind also went to scenarios of them in the sims with Dil. Plus, suggested by Martyn who saw a lot of TATINOF.susan2 wrote: Tue Oct 10, 2017 10:41 pm Calendar
Interesting that many peoples minds seemed to go to dogs....mine immediately went to Dil. I mean they've got some new Sims merch to sell, plus seem to be focussing a lot on the gaming channel. (not to mention that big Dil head lying around). Why not re-create some iconic moments from the series?
