Got my hobby on tonight while watching this. Got a FW Rogue Idol I need to finish building
Hopefully I can watch this later, Got A Lot of stuff on this weekend
Hype! Good luck tonight gents.
Think I will try to do some hobby watching this!
Got my tux and a couple of bottles of “Rocking Rudolph” beer ready.should be a great night…can’t wait.
This is where is kinda sucks to be in the States. The show will be happening while I’m working. 🙁
For the BoW 3rd Awards Show tonight – got some Holsten Pils cooling nicely…
For the Christmas BoW Special (there will be one, right?) – I think it will have to
be a glass of Bushmills.
Good times! Thanks BoW Team!
I’m ready for this. I have my Tux and my Bubbly and my Cheers/Salute practiced for all the winners .
I worked a 19 hour day earlier this week so I could have the whole day off.
Let’r rip boys!
(What channel is the Red Carpet coverage on?).
It was a proud and surprising moment to see my picture up on the live stream!
What night and what a fabulous job by all the Beasts of War team. Well Done.
Excitement building 😀
This is going to be a great watch 😀 .
What better way to start a Melbourne summer, which is unending rain of course, than watching the rewards and maybe some early morning hobby. Beautiful!
Best of luck tonight ! Can’t wait
Just started watching with the sound off for now, quick question…
Who’s getting married?
I asked the exact same question on twitch lol. Black Tie is so easy to get wrong!
Them’s ‘Morning Suits’* … not Black Tie! That guy in the closing rental shop saw someone coming…
*not to be confused with ‘Mourning suits’ – that’s a different Black tie. It’s a formalwear labrynth nightmare!
They look like dinner suits but with morning suit waist coats and ties.
Next year we’ll post pics of our undies for your approval as well before hand 😉
Guys, you need to lose the waistcoats. Either black waistcoats or coloured cummerbunds. For a small fee I will happily be in charge of your wardrobe department next year 😉
as always a nice show
Great show tonight guys!
Not sure what just happened but my screen just went blank & no sound.
Yep, just rebooted and I’m out. Guess I’ll have to check out the rest of the show later.
I’m with allot of the other commenters; I’ll be working on hobby stuff…FoW Canadians and Brits!
Awesome!!!!!!!!!
The awards are excellent. Too bad I did not get to see it live. (unfortunately the commercials every few minutes are horrible)
Well that was 4 hours well spent cheers lads
Had difficulties watching live in BoW and TwitchTV – only ended up seeing about half an hour live – on boardgames and card games. Will the show be available to watch on Saturday?
Had to watch on YouTube as kept freezing on BoW guys.
Cracking show and well done to all the winners
Good show as usual fellas, I’ll have to catch up on the rest though, I bowed out at midnight lol. And definitely get on having people visit next years show, I’ll pop over there again, even if it does take me 16 hours to get there by boat and car lol.
I had the occasional technical hiccup but I’ve managed to persevere to the end!
Great show but serious lack of plonk judging by the atmosphere in the cultists room 😉
The bottle of bubbly you’ve had sent by a *very* generous forumite was proper champagne btw..
Worth a few bob and I would have started with it lol!
The last award was real close one and I had difficulties to make my mind up myself when I was casting my vote.
I gave it to Spectre Operations in the end..but every single one of them would have been a worthy winner!
Good show again, loved it.
Some surprising (to me) winners this time around, Great stuff
so did you manage labyrinth and waterworld before passing out?
We watched both movies here after the Awards ended!
Seriously, “Waterworld” is not a bad movie……( It’s not academy awards materiel but it stands up well as a post apocalyptic view of what if..) IMHO
Have had to watch this on and off during the day. What a great show. Have seen many network TV award shows much less professionally presented and produced. Even long suffering better half loved the Voov Cleeco moment.
Live audience next year in BoW style tuxedos- Colraine’s first “Support your local Sheriff” convention.
oups sorry enjoy
caught the last couple of hours live, will be watching the rest tonight.
I want to cheer and rant but I don’t want to post spoilers. can we have a place where we can nod in agreement or cry fix ?
Grand show guys 😀 . Ditch the cheap plonk next year ( never seems to be enough around ) and just go with a few crates of your favourite beer 😀 .
Great show guys, and congratulations to all y’all nominees and winners.
Great show….very entertaining …and really smooth with the live stream…keep up the great work!!!!!
Great show guy`s, and congratulations to all the winners.
The worst category for me to pick for was Best miniatures Game, as i own 3 out of the 5 i found it very hard to choose. I can`t even remember who i picked, but i thought all out war the walking dead would of won.
I like the idea of you having some community members over for next years award`s, and i for one would like to be there, but i`m not a “Penguin”.
Ok, going to sound dumb, but I don’t have 4 hours to spare. Where is there a list
Great show guys . Nice to see Tom and Collin get a shout out for all their hard work behind the scenes . Thought you guys looked more like a Mafia convention than a bunch of well dressed occultists
Thanks so much for the feedback and comments everyone. It was definitely a very big planning and technical challenge to go with the live show but I think it went well bar some eardrum hurt and wardrobe malfunctions/preferences 😛
A big highlight for me was seeing us break 500 simultaneous viewers across Twitch, YouTube and Periscope and that’s not including those who watched along on Facebook too. Already looking forward to what we can do next year to keep building on what has become a simply wonderful community driven event 🙂 Az
Got to catch this live for once but didn’t get a comment in since I got pulled away at the end, by hunger, and didn’t make it back. I’ll echo the sentiment, this live stream went so well it seemed like a long episode of the weekender or something. Quite impressive! Also fancy, with all the formal wear and cultist lights and such. Anyhow it was very enjoyable and it was fun to see so many personalities; might have done with a smidge more Lance but I get the sense he may have been a little bit busy with the technical aspects.
Great show guys, unfortunately my internet kept dropping out and I fell asleep during the live stream, but I finished watching it the next morning.
Finally got to watch this all, starting at 06:30 on Sunday! Great show, excellent nominees and worthy winners, congratulations to all! As for the BoW crew, again, excellent!! I particularly enjoyed the freshness Az brings to the show and it was great to get Ben & Sam together, live on the show, they brought a good mix of objective opinions and humour to the show. Well done everyone.
Thanks for the great night guys, now getting cracking on the next one hehe 😀
What a great show – congratulations everyone on pulling it off.
I felt less strongly about quite a few of the categories this year, but it was still a really enjoyable night’s entertainment. If you could get guests in for a live show next year, that would add to the hilarity and sense of this being a really special community occasion.
What a good team you have!
Fantastic show guys. Congratulations. Unfortunately wasn’t able to catch it live. Congrats to all the winners as well. Looking forward to what’s next.
How many actual nominations did you guys have sort through to break it down to 5 for each catagorie ? And how many of us cast votes in the finals . Bet the percentage of voters compared to community members was higher than what most countries manage to attract for their federal elections . And just to say it again , well done guys
Well done guys. Thanks to everyone on the BOW team for providing an entertaining show. Just about to rewatch it. Was at work when it was live so had to step away a few times
Good job, gutted I couldn’t watch to the end live, but all caught up now. Lots of worthy winners, most of all…all of us gamers! So much quality to choose from!
Great show! Very smooth and professional.
The best Christmas film: The Snowman. I know perhaps many of you won’t think of it as a film and perhaps put it in a different category, but technically it is a film and so deserves a mention. The Snowman is about as Christmassy as a film can get.
It’s a Wonderful Life or GTFO. Christmas Film fight – it’s on
It’s A Wonderful Life is a worthy entry into the best Christmas film category, but The Snowman is a avatar of Christmas in film form. I shall watch both this year. It’s A Wonderful Life i will watch during Christmas. The Snowman i will watch as the start of Christmas.
Also, someone gets shot at in It’s A Wonderful Life for running away after yelling and shaking someone. It’s a slight flaw, and it’s from the USA of course, so that’s probably quite normal from what i can see in the UK, but it does mar an otherwise splendid film. The Snowman has no flaws.
Another great award show! Well done lads. And you looked great too…
Congrats to all the winners. Truly well deserved.
Loving the fashion police comments. Generalising here, rather than singling anyone out, but as a demographic, us gamers are on thin ice when it comes to the wardrobe.
a great fun show guys still cant forgive myself for forgetting to vote.
Sitting at work, a few days late to the party listing to this on my headphones while smashing through spreadsheets… sadly can’t drink along…
Thanks for yet another great event. It really adds to the hobby.
Great show, Kudos to all of the team. Amazing work as always. So proud of been part of this family 😀
I’m late getting to this due to work and college projects but I’m so glad I finally got to watch this because I just found out that I got a Community Golden Button back in February for the Carcassonne storage box I made and I didn’t even know!!! Absolutely made my night!
Fantastic work by @warzan, @dignity, @lloyd & all the BOW team. It was a great show. Also great to see Sam back on the screen again. Next year I hope to see a full stage production for the awards 😛
