 I always thought we had the best community.  Apparently not when things are streamed live.  Fanboys and idiots galore.

If it was just this community on the live stream, I honestly think it would be okay.  Thing is, there are tons of outsiders that comment on GB's live streams and they are mostly the ones that make the chat go to hell.

You post something stupid in chat, most people won't see it a few seconds later.  You post something stupid in forums...  well it lasts a bit longer.
 
I think some people were just acting stupid on purpose, not really trying to be jerks.

Hey, it's a chatroom. There's not much you can expect.

The only reason people seem less retarded in the forums is because they don't have as much pressure to spew their garbage. With slightly more time to think through what they're posting, a small degree of eloquence is achievable.

Well when they ask for questions I'm sure they want REAL questions about the game.  Not stupid questions which you know will not be asked live.

Because most of the people on the chat are the ones who post like once every month, and reason why they do because they're usually trollorific.

@btman: Because its an online chat, people will always be dicks when they have even more anonymity. 
 
Seriously that was nothing compared to what Street Fighter streams get.

Why do some people post in topics about things that suck to say that something doesn't suck in their opinion?

I am growing far more tired of these comments than the actual topics. But if that's what you're going for, nice work. You make a great troll. Eventually you're going to need some new material though.

I dunno, I don't mind the commenters on the commute videos. Now the TNT and other gaming livestreams are another story entirely.

That and these things tend to try to recreate something on the internet that works great as an actual event but fall short in the online reality. People feel less inclined to restrain themselves from acting like r-tards when they can do it anonymously.

In Vegas, there is a strip club called 'The Library'. That's Ustream chat.

I mean why take it seriously?

Come on mate it's a ustream chat, when did that ever become a civilized place to chat with 400+ other people.. thank god for slow mode or it would be a lot worse. The best you can do is try a few questions and if they don't stick go back to the show, where you should be in the first place. 
I know it's a shame but what can you do.. silly interwebs.

True, but if it were exclusively GB members who could comment, there'd probably be less crap.

Obviously the idiots are going to babble off more than the people who are actually watching the stream for its content.

I don't mind the madness to much on live streams, that kinda stuff is fun most of the time until spammers start showing up.

Because the threat of getting banned or getting a bad reputation among users on GiantBomb is gone when you use a log-in for a different site.
