Quoted from PinRex47:Clearly, the show wasn’t rehearsed. I feel it lacked professionalism.
It lacked everything, but feels wrong to bitch about it.

Quoted from jandrea95:It lacked everything, but feels wrong to bitch about it.
Yeah, I guess I pointed out the obvious.
Quoted from matt68061:Id rather watch this than the Oscars…and its not even close. Talk about “cringe worthy.”
Ok so you rather watch this then the most horrifying-ly cringe worthy thing in a decade coming up?
Strong Praise!
Listen to me (get it?!), either turn down the fucking mics or tell the talent to pull it back
Mics down.....PA up...
Quoted from GravitaR:Oscar's? Those still a thing?
Umm...yeah they still make motion pictures.

The only award I cared about was Todd's, and he won!
Todd, Frank, Curt, and even the twins are all great, and Ive loved that goofy channel for near a decade now.
Glad he finally won.
Quoted from 2manyhobbies:That was unbearable to watch. Freaking trainwreck.
Agreed, just terrible. The audio was atrocious and the ad hoc mouth noises, unnecessary and very distracting. I tried to fast forward through a handful of awards and finally tuned it off.
The best part of it were the 3D and video effects for the presentations. Next year please hire a competent audio production company and remind the hosts/guests to not put the mic in their mouths while speaking.
Oof...That was brutal. First time I ever tapped out. Have watched every TWIPY ceremony and look forward to them each year.
I miss Zach & Greg.

I was watching it in person; at least you had the option to fast forward. I think the audio problem stemmed from the fact that the monitors in the hall weren't really that loud, but the feed online was over the top. So I'm not sure they had any idea how bad the streaming audio was because you sometimes couldn't hear what they were saying in the hall. But still...no excuse and they should have had their act together.
Seriously, you don’t need a production company.
You need real IATSE crew, many of us would probably donate time to not have this happen ever again.
You need
A gaffer
A sound engineer
A video playback person
2-3 cameras
A few grips
One set decorator who can bring a podium that isn’t a half baked cheese plate repurposed for a podium
What a mess!!!

Yes , Todd should have won this years ago and I’m glad to see him and his crew win . I really enjoyed his seminar Friday night and hope he is back for next years.show.
I hate the show is over , but now I can’t wait to get home to watch Todd’s You Tube videos of the show!!!
The stream was so unpleasant to listen to... cringe. And there was no lack of feedback from YouTube watchers.
Turn the mics down a bit
Sound is horrible
The audio sounds like it’s in a tube
Wow their audio really sucks
There go the microphones
Sound is really low couldn't hear Jerry at all
Hope the show can hire better people next time. In the DFW area there must be dozens if not hundreds of churches with teams that do simultaneous live and streaming A/V every week. The pros are out there.
I’m interested in more details about why this was such a hot mess.
I mean, not interested enough to actually watch it, but I’ll read a synopsis!

or one Zach Meny
Quoted from Purdue:or one Zach Meny
Gross!
Literally the worst part of the show was that guy on stage.
Quoted from djsolzs:Aside from the audio etc.. anyone want to see new hosts next year?
Zack and Greg
TWIPY award show needs a new venue. Consider New York / Chicago / New Jersey / Las Vegas / Portland / Philadelphia in January. Host it at a pinball location or have a mini show.
After the 2nd time pulling the wrong envelope before the 3D presentation I had to turn it off.

Agree, but with all due respect, it wasn't just the sound issues.
I'm confused... with all the nominees for each category, why did they only mention 2-3 nominees when presenting?
Anything live requires a good amount of rehearsal and practice run through as, clearly that wasn’t done here which is a shame, I had to turn it off even after fast forwarding I still couldn’t watch any more, even my daughter said to me “dad what is this rubbish your watching it looks real bad and why is she standing on my brothers potty step” and that’s not ment as a shot at anyone I appreciate all the work that went into the show but that’s an unfiltered opinion from a child who watches a lot of pinball stuff with me.
Quoted from pin2d:“The TWIPYs went 100% smoothly, there were absolutely no issues.”

Post of the year right here! Pure genius
Can someone just post the results summary?
I tuned in and turned it off quite quickly due to the horrible audio.

Topper
Quoted from Mark1971:Serious question, who set up and organized this award show?
My guess is Imoto Harney
Quoted from drypaint:I'm confused... with all the nominees for each category, why did they only mention 2-3 nominees when presenting?
Because the top three are the ones mentioned at the show.
Initial voting to get the top ten
Voting on the top ten
Top 3 make the show as nominations.
Winner is read.

Halloween won best topper....pretty sure Halloween was the only topper on a new game launch so no competition , and I am assuming they did not concider the Indiana Jones topper, which looks pretty bad ars.
I would love to see the final votes in all the categories to see how close some of these were. Hopefully this information is disclosed at some point

Usually is. pin2d yo Jeff, you gonna post all the detailed results again?
Quoted from Acronymicon:The only award I cared about was Todd's, and he won!
As someone else had said, he is the people’s champion!
Quoted from Concretehardt:As someone else had said, he is the people’s champion!
Now all we need is to see Todd give Kaneda the people’s elbow!

I know it was a joke, but for me it seemed disrespectful to the whole show and effort you put into it.
Like you where shitting on your own work.

If you mean Franchi...that has a history to it that you may not be familiar with from a previous live TWIPY event (and perceived incorrectly if only seen on the live stream).
I think most in the room understood the humor in it.
It was an extra "prop" trophy, so no actual award was destroyed.

Franchi broke another TWIPY?
