Today marks another day after Zero to Fifty, and thus another Zero to Fifty TL;DR.  Luckily, this one's only 45 minutes long, so it's not TL.  Come to think of it, it's also a video, so there's nobody who DR.  This is causing me to question the nature of existence.  None of you even exist!  And none of the EU community managers who are appearing on this stream exist.  Nothing does.  We are thoughts floating on a sea of consciousness of a universe broader than our level of understanding.
 
.... Sorry, I know I'm late for the 4/20 jokes.  Even the stream was too late.  And I don't smoke marijuana.  And I don't think 4/20 would be an effective day to celebrate it.  Look at all the holidays that celebrate alcohol!  Do any of them get called "Beer Day?"  Not unless you're a home-brewing nerd!  They call them St Patrick's Day, the 4th of July, and Cinco De Mayo!  Even the Germans have Oktoberfest!  All you'd need is to divert an ethnic holiday for the purposes of smoking inordinate amounts of cannabis.
 
I have no idea what nation of people you would steal a holiday from to do that.
 
We begin the stream with a bit of light music.  We open to see a nervous Tony Rey sitting opposite a surprisingly bearded and British DD Hollis.  It is explained that DD has changed her name to Anlath.  At least, I think that's what's said.  This audio is coming from another dimension, so I can hear their voices bouncing through the endless echoes of eternity.  Let's get started... I think...
 
-The echoing is bad here, but I clearly heard them discussing fisting and tables.  Tony must have built that #torturechamber.
 
-Tony says that he wants to run the new Adventure, Bay of Betrayal, with the EU team.  Anlath, having probably seen the stream before, looks understandably nervous.  Tony wants to hurry the stream along to get to the meat of the content.  That's a first.  I'll save you all some time.  Here's a better rundown of it.
 
-Tony says the stream is asking DD to get better, as he believes she's sick.  Anlath makes the correction that it is most likely one of her many spawn.  I will make the correction that we were actually all telling Tony that the stream is echoing.  Between the two of us, Anlath and I have combined many spawn and echoes to produce every Lillith-inspired boss in video game history.  There's always one of them.
 
-Finally, the echo goes away.  Just in time for Anlath to notice that we're complaining about the echo.  Which he relates just in time for Tony to look and notice we're complaining about the echo.  Which Tony then relates to Sara...  THE ECHO IS GONE NOW!
 
-Tony puts together a group with Mayor Dasmoose, Anlath, and CRB_Caydiem.  Anlath looks at the screen and says, that at least they have someone who knows what they're doing.  I think he's looking at me.  I think he was just beating me to my joke.  I think Anlath wants to take my job.  Tony says Dasmoose, at the very least, should be fine, because you don't become mayor without knowing what you're doing.
 
 
-Anlath already says they're screwed.  Tony seems to be trying to figure out how many members you need for a party...  Yeah, they're screwed.  They only have four, and no healer.  I mention this in the stream, that since the other three members are warriors, if no healer is picked up, the only one capable would be Tony.  Anlath reads this and suddenly looks like he's about to be sent into the bush in 'Nam with a brand new point man.  Tony doesn't know how he'd heal, though he only has half his LAS filled with damage abilities, so he could fit some heals.
 
-Anlath BEGS for a healer.  Doom Kitty offers to heal.  Tony invites in Varash Lightningstorm, an Esper.  At least he has someone capable of healing, maybe.  However, he turned down a bona fide healer.  That's what happens when you aren't paying attention to chat.  Everyone mounts off to head off to the instance, except Tony, who didn't by a mount and has to walk.  Tony runs facefirst into some level 50 mobs, not just the ones he tries this around back home.  He almost dies, but is saved by Olivar.  Sorry.... maybe I did smoke some reefer, I thought I just saw a Chua save an Aurin from certain death.
 
-The Dominion helps him into the Adventure.  Tony thinks they're helping him.  Instead, the Dommies are just helping him to die.  Tony says that, if he dies, he owes the whole community team dinner.  He is relying on them to keep him alive.  He doesn't understand how incentives work.  Luckily Anlath understands how parties work.  Unluckily, Anlath isn't party leader, and therefore no one has noted the healer.
 
-Tony tells the stream he's 50.  Anlath points out he's only 50 on the PTR, that he hasn't leveled to 50.  Tony says he leveled to 25 on live.  Anlath claps.  Anlath is so British that even his clap comes out unintentionally sarcastic.  Tony says it's because of Anlath's accent.  Anlath insults him in a Russian accent.  It does sound a lot less sarcastic.  He then does his American accent.  Tony and Anlath ignore my request to continue the conversation impersonating Duke Nukem and Alan Rickman, respectively.  I think we all lost out there.
 
-Finally, everyone zones in.  They pull a mob.  Nobody heals anyone, but since it was one mob, they live.  Anlath escapes the stream before it gets any worse.  He is replaced by French CM Youmukon.  Youmukon, being French, is already disgusted by having to sit next to someone as poor at the game as Tony.  Still, that's why they pay him the big bucks.
 
-Youmukon is seated for roughly a minute for his introduction before he tells Tony he needs to fix his LAS....  YOUMUKON!  TEACH HIM!  EVERYONE ELSE IS ENTERTAINING THEMSELVES BY WATCHING TONY WALLOW IN HIS OWN IGNORANCE!
 
-Youmukon watches Tony buying his abilities to put on his bar and just laughs as Tony blindly puts them on in the order he buys them.  Oh yeah, Ignite, Wild Barrage, Chill, Rapid Fire, True Shot, that'll be a winner.  Tony asks Youmukon if that build is alright.  Youmukon tells him it probably doesn't matter since he doesn't know what he's doing.  Go figure, Youmukon turned this into an informational stream again.
 
-Tony manages to go through his key bindings and accidentally tries to scroll down while selecting an ability.  He doesn't notice.  If you think this is going to be funny later, you're right!  The group moves forward.  Youmukon asks who is tanking.  Tony has no idea.  Youmukon is in the position of a man testing a rickety bridge in the Congo before trying to drive a Land Rover over it.
 
-Tony carefully assesses the situation and comes up wi-LEEEEEROOOOY JENNNNKIIIIIIINS!!!!!!!  He gates straight into a pack.  Without a healer.  Man, does he die and owe dinner.  I think after dying that horribly, I think he now owes ME dinner.  Their fifth member leaves.  Youmukon correctly surmises that he left because Tony sucks.  Tony has now seen what it's like to have someone ragequit because the group wipes.
 
-Doom Kitty arrives to heal!  Sort of, she has to get to them.  In the meantime, Tony talks about his community team love.  He says that when Bronn arrives, he'll get a hug and all kinds of love and support.  He decides to read the stream chatter.  Someone is telling him to wait for the tank to pull.  Tony skips that to read my comment that Tony's talking about thuggin' love.  Tony says, yeah, he IS talking about thuggin' love.  Tony, unlike me, has apparently never seen the Boondocks.  Tony.... please.... if I ever say something... it's definitely a mean-spirited joke.  YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST MY GENIAL NATURE, I'M A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING!
 
-Tony says he was warned this adventure was hard.  He thinks that the adventure is too hard for him.  It might be more related to not having a healer...  Just saying.  Tony thinks they'd still be dying with a full group.  I think Tony might be dying even if they had a full group.
 
-Youmukon mentions the 10 Day Free Trial.  Yes, anyone can use the 10 Day Free Trial if they haven't already.  Youmukon asks for a link.  Tony says he doesn't have one.  I do.
 
-Tony zooms into first person view, but can't seem to unzoom because he's casting Chill.  He doesn't understand what just happened.  He can't zoom out of first person mode.  He wonders how he broke this.  We are ALL in the stream laughing because we know exactly how he broke it, and were talking about it after he did it wondering when he'd notice.  Youmukon falls onto his face, says they'll need more than one person to teach Tony, then surrenders and asks to be saved from this Stream.  Typical Frenchman.
 
-Bronn takes his place and, true to form, gives Tony a big hug.  Also true to form, he places his food order for Kobe sliders.  He suggests they should have an after-hours stream where they could have the four community managers, Sunshine, Anlath, Youmukon, and Bronn, teach Tony (yes, that makes five) to run through a dungeon and to call it "Carrying Tony."  I'd rather they combine their powers.
 
 
And hey, this joke IS time-relevant!  It's Earth Day!
 
-Tony decides he's going to tank again, and he pulls a pack.  He then gates through them, expecting them to stop.  Someone hasn't explained interrupt armor to him.  So he runs around, at least admirably dodging red intelligently... until he walks into another pack of mobs.  Luckily, with Doomy Kitty on hand and the warriors managing to drag aggro he doesn't die again.
 
-Tony is told that, if he shoots first, he pulls things.  Tony doesn't remember pulling anything.  I remember him pulling TWO packs.  They pull another pack, and Bronn reaches over to gently hit the R button on Tony's behalf.  Kind of ironic that Tony doesn't know how to use his "innate" ability.  To be fair, though, Bronn does call their fallen comrade "Major Dasmoose".  No, that works the other way, Bronn.  J sounds like a Y in German, not the other way around.
 
-Sometimes, I can't even make a joke funnier than reality.  Sometimes, you just have to quote Tony after Bronn tells him that he has improved since the last time he saw him.  "Thank you!  Yes, this is the type of recognition I need and deserve... oh, I think I pulled something."
 
-Apparently, a lot of people think Bronn looks like a German Matt Damon.  That's nice.  Then Tony doesn't even know how to spell Bronn's handle.  That's not nice.  He chose the name because he needed a German alias that sounded somewhat Granok, without knowing that Bronn was the name of one of his favorite Game of Thrones characters.  Tony doesn't know who Bronn is...  It really does take a village...
 
-Tony would like to learn German.  He asks how to say "I am great at this game."  Bronn tells him it's, "Ich bin Scheisse in diesem Spiel."  I don't even have to carry this through.  I know most of you don't speak German, but I am willing to bet that EVERY SINGLE PERSON HERE understood that except for Tony.  It's just a pleasure to watch!
 
-It's fan art time.  Remember to send your fan art of all types to fanart@wildstaronline.com, whether drawn, sculpted, knitted, rendered, or spattered on your wall with your own blood.  We begin with a Lopp from Typrop.  I love rhyming.  Richard Still did a 3d Dominion sigil on what looks like an EVE Online background.  Bronn would like that to be made with a 3d printer.  Bunnyhugs did a great picture of a loving Squirg.  Bronn would love to have a Squirg hat he could wear every day.  Someone get on that!
 
-There is a community update, apparently!  The community shout out is the 2nd NBDList Red Carpet Gala & Fashion Contest hosted by the Black Dagger Society.  Follow the link for details!  Tony says that if the Dominion are running events, to let him know as well.  Bronn says to let anyone in the EU running an in game event to let him know so he can disseminate the information.
 
-Tony says this was either the greatest stream of all time, or a chaotic train wreck (I loved it).  It depends on how much you enjoy watching Tony struggle (I do).  Bronn says there's definitely room for improvement, but Tony says he learned something today (he did)!  He learned not to die so much!  He also learned not to pull things when the group is not ready!  And to not learn German from Bronn!
 
 
I'm done.  I'm going to go cook beef for tostadas and brush up on mein Deutsch.  Tschüss!

To be fair, I don't know the link of the 10 day trial.  I've linked it every stream since it was introduced by finding the page through Wildstar, and I eventually favorited it.  I couldn't write it off the top of my head, though.
