So at Tokaigi in Japan there's a three day long gaming festival going on. This morning they was this year's edition of Wasshoi - yes, that Wasshoi - and it featured some amazing demonstrations by a group of the top players in Japan. What's really cool was they streamed the entire session on Nico Nico Douga for people who couldn't attend.

Well, I figured, why not restream the live broadcast for those who don't have access to Nico? :3
So I did.

This morning, I restreamed the broadcast as it was happening live on my Twitch channel for people to watch, hang out and chat, and it was really good fun. Getting it on Mumble was kind of short-notice, but it worked really well in that we ended up with some great commentary on particular runs, especially DOJWL and TGM3. I've just finished archiving everything on Twitch, and am in the process of uploading the highlights and full stream to Youtube for permanent archiving. The only thing I'm disappointed with is that my internet connection was highly unstable for the first hour and a half of the stream, so there was a lot of buffering, but as the night went on, it sorted itself out.

You can check out the highlights here:

- Complete 4.5hr stream, no edits or cuts, full commentary: http://www.twitch.tv/icarusfw/c/6013644
- Darius Gaiden Extra, All Bosses (player: 山田太郎): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hetc0CSMX2U
- Dodonpachi Daioujou WL (player: fufufu): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HW7qt67h3Y

Much <3 goes out to:
- Softdrink for suggesting we use Mumble to chat during the stream, as it worked really well in the end in terms of commentary and discussion. Also for the very detailed DOJWL commentary. Great stuff.
- KevinDDR for dropping in to commentate for the TGM3 segment, excellent stuff, and thanks for the stream host and tweetout!
- trap15, Emuser, Ratikal, beatsgo, Despatche, Aquas and others for dropping in and out of the Mumble room and making the night more fun with some great live discussion.
- All the peeps popping in to the stream during the 4.5hr session, and joining in with discussion.

Hopefully there'll be more of these events broadcast live, because it'd be pretty cool to do this restream again. :3

Thanks !
That TGM run is absolutely insane.
2-ALLing DDPDOJ WL...seems unreal.

Insane skill ! Thanks for sharing.

The DOJWL run is pure madness, everybody should watch it. Softdrink commentary is ace too.

Thanks for these replays Icarus.

MONEY BACK !

Yes, they are, though it is uncommon to see them broadcast live over the internet. Wasshoi has been going on for a number of years if I recall, and there are a lot of smaller public demonstrations throughout the year - I was at one last November at Matmouse in Kanagawa, which featured Kamui, Darurun and CLAW-Yamamoso, for example.
