Watched last night at Public Tenley in DC. So awesome. We were all sad to see BoxeR go down and then his apprentice, but a great time was had by all. Hope to go to more in the future.

Barcraft Portland looks awesome! I couldn't make it up this time but I really hope they do it again. It looks like it got a pretty good turnout so I can be hopeful.

So this is kind of a review for the SF Bay area Barcraft at the "Mad Dog in a Fog" location.

I personally felt like it was an extremely poor attempt at barcraft.

First off the bar itself didn't seem too "on the bandwagon" seeing as they had an entire packed house of starcraft fans, all cheering and screaming for their favorite players, buying drinks and food, yet still had MOST of the TV's not playing starcraft at all. This caused the biggest issue for a lot of people all standing around certain areas because their seats could not see the starcraft TV's. It was quite a pain in the ass.

Secondly, out of the 4 TV's playing starcraft, 2 of which never seemed to be working, the stream would stop and have to be refreshed or the streams were a good 15 seconds apart in lag. The sound quality was terrible, and when I say terrible I mean GARBAGE. Nobody could hear any of the commentary at all and it seemed that when you could hear it(which was very rare), it wasn't even synced up with the video. Their internet connection failed at least 10 times before me and my entire table got up and left so we could get home in time to ACTUALLY watch the finals

Ultimately looking through this thread and seeing the pictures of the other Barcrafts, I am definitely jealous and upset. If I would of known it was going to be such a poor event at my location, I would not of driven 30 minutes and paid for parking in San Francisco for an entire day.

I really do appreciate the effort that Twitch.tv put into trying to set up this event but I think if you're going to do something like this knowing that people are expecting at the bare minimum a working stream with sound a bit more effort or planning is required.

Sorry for all my QQ but I was really unhappy.

We (BarCraft Portland) will be having another event on Sunday the 28th of August to watch the finals of MLG Raleigh, this time starting early at 3:30pm!

This is Raddue, my username here on TL doesn't match up with my username on Reddit.

Also if you could make the menu link point to our Happy Hour menu that would be great: http://www.aberdoober.com/forumcrap/barcraft_menu.pdf

@VTArlock: I got to the SF one late, just as the Winner's Bracket Finals were wrapping up. They did have some wireless issues, and two of the screens had video that lagged behind the audio, but for the Loser's Bracket Finals and Grand Finals, they actually did pump the volume up really loud, so it was great volume-wise toward the end, probably after you left.

Compared to videos I've seen of the NASL Finals, it did seem like there weren't as many people. Maybe some of them left like you did due to technical issues?

@ToastyKen: Me and about 10 people all left at the same time, I heard from a buddy soon after more people left after us. All in all I was just extremely disappointed, whoever it is that running this barcraft stuff really needs to pull it together a bit more, I wasted a good $50 on it.

Sorry for necroing an almost dead thread but... I was curious if there should/could be a thread with all the barcrafts in the world that are actively showing events? For example, if a bar is goign to show next mlg, they could contact the OP, or post in thread updating that they will do things for this MLG. Im travelling to the Netherlands on many occassions, and often i have time off and wouldnt mind taking a train for 1-2hrs to hang out with some nerds!

Would be also cool to see how the community will grow, and how much interest there is around the world for these kind of things

most of us congregate around http://www.reddit.com/r/barcraft to spread the news. I will have another round-up for MLG Raleigh up later this week.

If you're putting together a MLG Raleigh watch at your local bar/restaurant/mom's basement, send me a message and I'll be more than happy to add you in.

I can attest to the fact that MLG Anaheim viewing from DC Barcraft was awesome. Anyone from Colorado wanna bring this thing to the middle of the country??

I want to go to some of the bars around my area and ask them to play MLG there, could someone kindly PM / answer this question here, me how exactly you get MLG up on the TV? does someone have to bring a laptop + plug it in to the tv?
