    If you can’t get to rifftrax.com, go to http://www.ustream.tv, click on the “Most Viewed” tab, and there should be a link to the Rifftrax channel.

    Of course, now they seem to have lost the feed. You can still view the mind-boggling stream of chatroom comments, though.

    I hope they put these on a future shorts DVD as a special feature. I tried taping them but the stream kept getting choppy. The audio was fine but it was the video that kept stopping, and of course this one was only half way done when the screen went blank.

    I don’t know about what thunderbird12 said, but for me it’s now 8:30 central time and they aren’t back on yet. For a while it seemed like it was trying to start again every minute or so, but finally I lost all connection to the Rifftrax website and only get errors when I try to reconnect.

    Opps, sorry I didn’t see thunderbirds earlier comment before posting. Well I missed most of it. I guess in the future I will just go right to the Ustream site rather than the stupid Rifftrax site to watch it. Does anyone know if it will be viewable online for those of us that got screwed over by trusting their official stupid website (you know the one they LINK TO IN ALL THEIR EMAILS AND EVERYTHING) to actually bring us the show?

    Wow, I love seeing these guys riff live. This short was hilarious.

    Yet, it would’ve been more fun if they got rid of all those squirrels on the internet! :smile:

    Okay, as a preemptive, yeah I know that this wasn’t their fault or anything, but what the heck man? They shouldn’t have continued until the actual Rifftrax site was up and running since that is where they directed everyone to see the show. And they should at least put it up somewhere to watch in the next few days, even if they only leave it up for a week or something.

    C’mon guys, that was a little bit awesome, it was like being part of an outtake

    I got kicked out at around three minutes in. Now that it is over, is there anywhere someone has posted it? Once I can get on the site I’ll buy the short, but I want to see the Q&A.

  23. Cronkite Moonshot says:

    Yeah PopcornSonata, it would have been like being part of an outtake if all of the people watching had actually been able to see it once they restarted everything. I don’t mind the actual technical problems, but they shouldn’t have continued until the official website that they had directed everyone to in all their promotions was actually functioning so that the people watching from that site could see it as well.

  24. Our website still isn’t up at the moment. Thanks to everyone who bore with us during the technical difficulty, believe it or not, we didn’t want or expect that to happen!

    What kind of internet apocalypse happened to take down the whole site for so long? Please tell us that you will be putting the live performance and Q&A up somewhere so those of us who missed it because we were watching through the Rifftrax site, and didn’t know about watching it on the Ustream site can at least see it. Even if it’s just for a limited time. Please, please, please.

    Complete and utter failure on my end. I was very sad. I never even had a chance to see anything. I saw the first one and loved it. I hope they can post a video later so that we can pretend we’re seeing it live. If the site comes back at all. Still down Thursday morning.

    They didn’t really answer questions. They mostly read from a list of fears.

    So you think they’ll have another one of these any time soon? :smile:

    The lesson here is clear: come out to the east coast and do your live shows here already for crying out loud. Thanks.
