You, Your Tested Account, and the New Whiskey Multi-Pass

Before the Big Live Live Show, we're adding network-wide accounts to all the Whiskey sites. Here's the scoop.

By Will Smith  |  Sept. 8, 2010

You might have heard, we're having a Big Live Live Show tomorrow. Yes, we're hosting an epic 8-hour live show (starting at 10AM PDT) partly because we like a good party, but also because we'll finally be ready to take the wraps off of our paid accounts. We've already talked about some of the subscriber benefits--like  an awesome T-shirt, access to  mobile versions of all of our sites,  HD videos, downloadable videos, and some other still-secret stuff. Don't worry, we'll have the full scoop tomorrow during the Big Live Live Show:Live. In the meantime, I want to talk to you about something really important--your Tested user account. THE MULTI-PASS IS LIVE NOW! SIGN UP PLEASE!

Along with the memberships, we've also created the Whiskey Multi-Pass. The Multi-Pass is an easy way for you to link up all of your accounts on Whiskey Media sites--Tested, Giant Bomb, Screened, ComicVine, and AnimeVice. Your wiki points and profiles will all be connected, so if you have lots of wiki points on one site, you'll have the same level of access on our other sites. You can convert your account to a Multi-Pass right now. It doesn't cost anything, and should take you less than five minutes. And, if you plan to subscribe, you'll need a Multi-Pass if you want to support us by subscribing.

Do you want to know more? Check out Dave's awesome Multi-Pass video. 
 
   
   
Need more? Mobile versions of all the sites that work in any HTML5 compliant browser aren't enough for you? Do you need more than downloadable versions of all of our videos? You need to watch this then.

My money is ready, I just can't give you the money yet!
 
Is this article a little early?  I'm not sure how to figure out the the single sign on conversion stuff.
 
Videos are the best peer-pressure.

Can you elaborate on "enhanced community interaction"?

Huh.
Duckchowon Sept. 8, 2010 at 6:14 p.m.
I can convert right now? LIES!
FunExplosionson Sept. 8, 2010 at 6:16 p.m.
Holy shit. That was amazing. I think I popped like 12 boners.
joslop500on Sept. 8, 2010 at 6:16 p.m.
I think 50 bucks a year is not too bad to support my favorite websites, and plus the shirt we get is like a third of that. As long as you guys make it worth and don't pull an Xbox Live  and raise it to 60 the next year then its all good.

paid member girl has an amazing smile

Unicornon Sept. 8, 2010 at 6:20 p.m.
God, that price is the type of price where I don't know if I'd pay, but I feel bad if I don't...
Avarixon Sept. 8, 2010 at 6:21 p.m.
So, yeah, where do we pay !
mstrkrfton Sept. 8, 2010 at 6:24 p.m.
 You can convert your account to a Multi-Pass right now. 
 
When you lie to me, you cut me deeper than you can possibly know.

Hey guys, the Multi-Pass stuff will be live soon. We wanted to let you guys know that change was coming before it happened and you guys were scared and confused.
adoggzon Sept. 8, 2010 at 6:29 p.m.
Wait. If I am understanding this right if I pay for a whiskey media paid thing I get to become a cute girl?
