Nihilum plans another live stream of Sunwell Plateau raid

Nihilum, famed Horde guild on Magtheridon EU, will be running a second live, streaming raid on the Sunwell Plateau this month. Partnering with Xfire, Nihilum is set to provide the entire raid in real-time, through your browser with the Dyyno plug-in. Choose your favorite class and watch the raid through the eyes and screens of a Warrior, Druid, or Warlock from the guild. (Choose wisely because you can't switch later.)If you missed Nihilum's first live streaming raid in May -- and you probably did since they only had 1,000 spots available -- you'll want to install the plug-in ahead of time. (Note that Dyyno has been tested for XP and will run under Vista but Mac/Safari is not yet supported.) The upcoming event has a 3,000 viewer limit, but log on early so you don't miss the chance to view one of WoW's top guilds blast their way through formidable end-game content. During the live broadcast, you'll be able to interact with other viewers in the Xfire chat rooms.
Nihilum's raid will take place on on June 25, 2008, at 1:00pm Eastern Time (convert the start time into your own time zone). The entire broadcast will last 3 to 4 hours so bring your snacks and make sure your seatbacks and tray tables are in the upright and locked position. Good luck to Nihilum! I'll be watching and rooting for you.

Are there torrents or some kind of downloadable versions of these video streams?
I would like to watch them raid if I had the ability to do it at my leisure (with a fast forward button).
Anyone know?

I think i'll watch this, it sounds really interesting and the best chance to see the whole instance being "lived" in.

Could you guys start mention times in GMT?
A lot of people use it.

THIS JUST IN: Nihilum is way too fucking overrated and you should be ashamed of supporting guild whoring like this.
Instead of watching people play the game, take the time to play the goddamn thing yourself. I'll be more fun that watching a guild with an inflated ego.
also: in before Nihilum ass kissing.

Hi Edboy, this post was not so much about praising Nihilum but about the new technology they're using to show live events streaming on the web.

The whole post looks more like an ad for Nihilum and their apparent omgwtfpwn status to the wow community by offering you the chance to feel like you're in the actual raid. OMG 0_0
Let's forget the fact that this is the second time video of the same raid but they're making it sound like it's the friggin' super bowl of wow. What's next? Special ads made by blizzard just for these videos? The whole thing just reeks and I don't see why anyone would support it. It's the equivalent of watching some kid play with something some other want and when that kid ask him to use it he says "No because you don't know how. Watch me, I'm better at it than you."
