The Brutal Legend Demo-o-thon is on now! Well, if it's 12pm PST (3pm EST) you can click the jump and watch it live.
So wait, what's going on? Double Fine's streaming a live Brütal Legend video "Demo-o-Thon" in hopes that it'll meet its 666 Million demo download goal. It's ridiculous, but their lofty expectations are your gain, because they have a bunch of cool stuff scheduled.
A handful of the Double Fine team will be on hand, answering questions via Twitter, and doing a whole bunch of fancy stuff on camera that'll give you something to do instead of working/leaving the house/doing school work. Hit the jump for the live stream, and right below it a tentative schedule of events -- there's going to be a "special guest" guys!
Event Schedule (TBD):

Also, for those not getting any video, do not worry, it's not just you. Their Twitter says they are experiencing technical difficulties and shall be up soon.
I'm so so sorry that this free streaming show that is entirely optional to watch and is being done out the goodness and awesomeness of Double Fine's heart is boring you, Entrager. Please, accept my heartfelt apology on their behalf.
I'm not going to lie: I just spent 15 minutes searching online to see what Emily (presumably Ridgeway) looks like. And yes, she is an attractive woman.
However, THE DEMO IS SEX X1,000,000,000,000,000,000. I was lukewarm on this game for a long time, but THIS IS AMAZING. I WANT IT NOW.
numberThirtyOne: It's also coming to PS3, and the demo is out today. Shouldn't be that hard if everyone with either or both of those consoles downloads the demo 10 times per system.

how will they get 666 million downloads out of 31 million xboxs?
I was just expressing my disappointment. Everything else they've done to promote BL has been nothing but awesome.
That being said, it's getting better. Emily was the boring one.
