This is awesome. Loving it. My productivity today is in the crapper.

That PAPA belt is hilarious and awesome. I love it to an unhealthy degree.

The commentary is way better than I expected. I am so enjoying this.

Thanks, Bowen, this is working so well!

Absolutely. If this becomes a regular thing I might have to become a Ustream premium member and set up a way to watch this on the TVs at home. I love this.

I think it's an amazing start. This is articulating the competition effectively, it is showing the action clearly, and the commentary is entertaining. I am enjoying the hell out of this and am hugely optimistic for the future of this concept.

I wonder how long that will actually last. I've had issues with the stream stopping if I don't do something in the browser. When it hits an ad it will sit and wait for me to tell it to proceed. And I've been dropped from Ustream a couple of times. Not content or PAPA folks related in either case.

No idea who that guy is but he's putting up a hell of a performance. Can't help but root for him now.

Steve Bowden was in the middle of Monsters of Rock and Ustream went to commercial! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO....

Is anyone else having trouble now keeping the stream going? I can only go about ten minutes now before it drops on me and I have to fight to get it going again.

Adblock potentially deprives Ustream of revenue. Without that ad revenue Ustream probably can't exist. Ustream's success is critically important to what PAPA is trying to achieve here.

I would join as a premium member before I would use Adblock on PAPA events.

I would pay for some sort of "viewer membership" if this were done for all of their events.

I enjoyed that enough that I would not only pay a small amount for the membership but would probably set up a laptop by my TV and watch events like a wrestling PPV. More belts! More title matches!

Preread Powerpoint style ads for places like Pinball Life wouldn't bother me one bit. There is plenty of time between games to run small pieces like that.

There is a donation link on the GeekGamerTV Ustream page. It was there all day yesterday and is still there now. $2.29 via Paypal or you can change the amount.

Apps like Adblock also usually have the ability to temporarily disable them or to disable them for certain websites.

No. That's why I was NOT using Adblock.

See how that works? Use Adblock/Donate or let the ads run. It is only fair to do one of those two things to support what PAPA is trying to do here.

I don't consider it morally wrong to use in many cases.

It should be disabled when you're doing anything you truly care about. PAPA is the perfect example. Pinside would be as well if Pinside ever puts in ads. Or one could do something else to contribute like hit the Donate button.

If PAPA continues to put out broadcasts like this one you'd better believe I'll be hitting the Donate button myself. That broadcast was awesome.

Seriously, it was Daniele's run that was keeping me glued to the set. I was sort of pissed when I had to turn it off at 5pm and go do other stuff all night. I had to wait until morning to find out he won.

I'm in on the Kickstarter without a second thought.
