Al On Ustream/twitter Event

Post by **QuantumError** » Wed Jun 17, 2009 1:29 pm

Hehehe, not that I disagree with you, but I think part of what he meant by that was that us fans are seriously onto him with some of his upcoming projects (as in, we're asking the right questions, he just can't share them yet!)

But it's a bummer a lot of the good ones disappeared on him!

I think he said at the start that he was not able to see the questions that had been sent before the event began. I like the idea of half pre-screened questions and half free-for all for this chat thing. That would be fun.

I know he was referencing many questions where people asked him to choose between things, but I'd like to at least take away that he might have seen my question, which was "Weird Al cookies or Weird Al suckers? any preference?"

He said "Asking me to choose between things. It's all art. You can't quantify art".

I know it's silly, but I will treasure that moment in time.

Surely you can see that all the time Al was filtering out the thousandth "make a parody of...."/"Come to my town"/"You da Man" type remark, would have been better spent aswering the questions that those remarks so rapidly displaced and buried.

Everyone, hardcore or casual fan alike would have preferred more answers to more reading Im sure

He himself lamented the passing of much better questions than the ones he was able to catch

You're right about this point! I started to post useless questions when i notice that he was able to answer only to quick question and funny....

I definitely enjoyed that. It was fun just to see Al answering questions and bantering. I agree that he should get someone to moderate or review questions beforehand. He could still answer them as they came up, but he would at least be able to ensure that he had a list of good questions in front of him to start. It seemed like he was having trouble weeding through all of the inane "OMG! I LoVe YoU Al!!!!!!!" blather comments in order to actually get to an intelligent question. Still, it was incredibly awesome, and even if it's exactly the same next time, it will still be incredibly awesome.

I had three other questions which were more serious... I can't believe Al picked the one that I basically used to "test" the Ustream/Twitter interface.

But that was so awesome, Steve! He said your name AND told you to shut up!

Well, he forgot his wallet at the World of Jerky.
