Another Fail Event?

Lots of people are complaining about the truck explosion event live in Las Vegas..

You can watch the video here : http://www.ustream.tv/mafiawarslv

Snoop is not that cool! He cursed a lot on the video... Kids, you better not watch it! And I don't think he knows this game!
He only throwing bad words and being Zynga's campaign man..

For being held in Vegas, I thought the event is well prepared professionally and we can see all of Zynga's executives there smiling and waving their hands at us on the video.. But none of them are showing!
Perhaps they are busy on discussing the new Challenge Mission or is it too hat in Vegas desert?

Most of time I can only see the back of his head! I want to see the truck exploding, not the pony tails!

As a Mafia Wars player, I feel ashame with this event... I don't have a feeling as a big family of Zynga.. I am just another disappointed player..

What is on your mind about the event?


PS : Thanks to VaibhaV for the info!

Event was an epic fail. They ask Snoop to move out of the way because he's blocking the camera. He then moves in the way to block the camera so all you can see is the back of his head. No discussion of the event, no presentation - Snoop swearing a lot doesn't count, no context, no nothing. No lights, no drum roll, no crowd, no music. Just a truck being blown up in the sand and a couple of semi-satisfied squeaks from the two people who were also watching. Lame.

Hello Ade, If you are reading this, feel free to reply back.

Zynga thought it would be great if Snoop hosted the Event. I think they are too busy or they dont have funds and money to go there in the "desert".

Just be cool and stay loyal to MW. Zynga is not prepared * i think * .

the truck is not explode at all. production team has changed it with some oil derricks and wooden box, then move the truck to the other place.

the black dog blocked our view to the 'truck' and their team just detonate the derricks. with a video touch-up, all the spectators around the world thought the explosion is real.

once again we have been zyngaed.

Snoop is known for having a potty mouth, he was the best selection. They showed a few Zynga staff members on the live feed earlier (30 minutes before Snoop Dogg arrived)

And again, when Zynga trying to correct something (heard Snoop said "What? I'm blocking the way?" or something?) they ended up making it worse, Snoop was giving the best view, then the guy just tell him that he blocked the camera and ended up blocking another camera?

The best moment for me was when Snoop Puss stepped right into the place of explosion, so we couldn't see a damn thing. Really profesional - he was ok where he was standing, so... Snoop, can you make a tiny step on the right?

It was pretty lame. Snoop moved into the camera right before the thing blew up. Totally ruined the moment. Also to make things worse he was late getting there! We had to sit there and wait for 15 minutes while they jerked around.

I should've known it was gonna end up a catastrophe, they have about a 40% success ratio in my book.

Well, he wouldn't have stood in the way if one of the other guys in the background (you can hear him) told him to move out of the way.

He said to buy mafia wars when it hits the stores which proves he doesn't know the game.

really bad organized I agree to all that u said .If you gona do something do it well or don't do it at all !!And also wtf with snoop they paid him just to push a button????Give those money to a charity for God's shake not to someone who just pushes a button and the half words he says is the f word !!!And there like only 2 cameras for an event that was supposed be big etc .

Really really bad organized .Also I thought that there would also be some scenes from a casino like a short clip or something like that .

i live in Greece so i had to stay awake until 4 in the morning and it happened at 4 25 leaving me with the feeling that i was too stupid to wait and see a 25 second event.I didnt see the explosion cause Snoop was in front of it and he gave me the idea that they picked him cause he was availiable at Vegas that time knowing nothing about the game.And finally why they didnt tell us about the big winner? What's his name? I think they didnt pick a winner yet too.
They just care only about money gathering and they organize only that,its the only thing that works without problems in the 1,5 year i m playing the game.BIIIIIG dissapointment !

Cursing, ok, fine.

Last minute getting in the way?!

Snoop is a has-been. Can't sing, can't act, can't direct and certainly can't advertise!

Intrinsic said... [Reply to comment]

for me is fine :]
I am happy with it cause I am fun of Snoop Dogg!
I think everybody saw explosion when camera zoomed up ... but its not from start...
anyway I was waching only because of Snoop Dogg to be honest!

Feel the same...big disappointment and embarrassment to Zynga....Snoop did not even know what Mafia Wars was, he was stoned and cussing like a sailor....they hyped this up and it was a joke. I love how he moved right in front of the truck before blowing it up so no one could see. I think I will write Zynga about how they blew it again.

I don't care about the cussing. They are simply words. Only people weak of mind get offended from swears. I agree with you on the fact that Snoop Dogg has no clue about mafia wars and is only in the video to promote mafia wars in some way that I don't quite understand completely. It would have been better if they just had any random person blow up the vehicle and have the full explosion actually be seen instead of Snoop Dogg's head.

It wasn't that bad. Snoop was blocking the high-speed camera so instead he moved in front of the other camera, sound was terrible, and the 2 cameras have the same angle. Oh and so far we only saw the explosion from the high-speed camera but at high speed, no slow-motion yet.
Other than the blow-up of the truck, the show element was zero.
There's a word for this kind of amateurism, and it's Zynga :)

And Snoop doesn't know the game, in the live event after blowing the truck he said to the viewers something like "Mafia wars, be sure to pick up the game when it hits the stores".

It was a very amateurish freak show. The idiot who told Snoop to step in front of the truck at the very last second should be fired.

I was upset I stayed up late to watch. Snoop you upset me dogg. Presentation was garbage, but you are the same at every event so I'm not mad at you & the fact that you had no idea Mafia Wars is a Facebook app. It's Zynga's fault for not preppin' you first.

To Zynga ...... Ouch! That hurt . That's the best public speaker you have at Zynga? Wow. I really wish whoever the winner was could've blown it up. For the person to get to blow up (whatever it was) to be an actual non famous person that plays the game would've been just right.

Left a bad taste in my mouth. I knew I should've just gone to bed

My favorite part was when snoop said go out and buy the game, like it was for xbox 360 or something LOL

One Word to sum it up - Pathetic!

1. People should know that Snoop da hoop ain't pretty mouth like Britney Spears (so why whining about his curse words? Every 13year old (FB ToS) knows all the frigging curse words anyhow... Yeah they watch MTV and you know it).

2. When the camera man said if Snoop could move away from the camera, they meant from the main big/good/hightech one standing right from the stream camera (yeah I watched the live stream @ 4AM in finland).

3. I hope they will get us a better clip eventually but here is one that is better then the original stream one -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KSCrlTmY-c

MORE (hopefully/eventually) @ http://www.youtube.com/user/OfficialMafiaWars
