This is a fan forum to discuss Darren Criss\'s career and his public activities, including his theater, film, and TV projects, his music and musical performances, charitable work, interaction with fans, and interviews.
Well, I'm done voting. I cast my last 300 retweet votes for Computer Games, am locked out by Twitter for 3 hours, which would take me beyond 11:59 pm ET Sunday. Cross fingers we get some good news about who the winner is after the 4th of July.
Ooops. Didn't see these till now. But I think so many of Darren and Chuck's fans were voting their little hearts out today.
Remember on TODAY, Sunday, July 2, at 12:00 noon (your time) and 7:00 pm (your time), there is a tweeting party. The goal is to get as many folks as possible tweeting and Retweeting for Computer Games at those times (your time, depending on where you live) on Sunday.

As for tweeting and retweeting: RETWEETING is faster than tweeting. The goal is to MAXIMIZE the number of your votes this last day--and after voting on Macy's page--the most efficient and quickest way to MAXIMIZE YOUR VOTES is to RETWEET, especially if you RETWEET tweets of other folks when their tweets do not contain any pics.
If you RETWEET the tweets with the necessary phrases (#RisingStar) PLUS (either Computer Games or #ComputerGames or @weplaycomputers ) of the folks below, you could RETWEET 300 votes in 15 mins!

Remember, if you have several twitter accounts, consider using TweetDeck! You can use Tweetdeck for tweeting AND for REtweeting to maximize your numbers of tweets or retweets!
Computer Games Street Team wrote: # 3: TWEETDECK
Remember your saved accounts? They still have more use! If you have saved Twitter accounts available, there is a web application called Tweetdeck that allows you to be logged into multiple accounts at once and tweet/retweet from them simultaneously. I highly recommend that you use this application for mass voting efforts. It’s super easy to use as well!
First, go to tweetdeck.twitter.com and log into an account. I have my personal account as my main account and the many other accounts I run were added on for easy access.
Once you’ve added all your accounts to Tweetdeck, you can start tweeting, selecting certain ones or all of them:
You can even retweet from all the accounts simultaneously with little effort:
So put those saved accounts to good use and let’s rack up some votes!

Thank you for this video, dcriss-archive!
Darren Criss backstage at iHeartRadio Canada MMVAs (June 18th, 2017) | Facebook Live
I like that he started by thanking the press. Around 1:35, Darren was asked about Versace. At Point 2:30, Darren speaks highly of working with Ryan Murphy, that he is honored to be a part of the project, and that he is inspired by such talented cast members. He was asked about wanting to recreate any roles. I couldn't make out everything he said. He mentioned that playing a role that has been done already does happen often in theater, but not so much in film. He also said he is a fan of original content (here's hoping he gets to play a role in a piece that is original, or even better, that someday he has a hand in creating an original theater or film piece, or TV role--come on Fox, still hoping for Royalties to happen, maybe a different season or mid-season!). I couldn't make out the last question, but it seemed that Darren praised the person asking the question for inspiring young girls and he talked about being inspired by young people. I like that he continues to say, as he always has said, that inspiration is a two-way street, that young people inspire him just as much as he inspires them.
This video is a little longer, with a little more at the beginning.

This is cute. I can't wait to see more of this.

“I didn’t hear of anyone that didn’t want to come to the room,” executive producer and “champagne puppy” Kyle Joe told Billboard. “We had almost all the stars come in except Lorde, Niall [Horan], and Iggy [Azalea]. Many stars tried to come in multiple times and were upset that they couldn’t stay the whole night. We had to nudge Shay Mitchell out and she, jokingly, tried to steal one. Camila didn’t want to be anywhere else and both said it was the best thing Much has ever done. I heard Darren Criss was allergic, but that didn’t stop him.”

June 19, 2017
No shame in his nude selfie game! Weeks after Darren Criss shared a slightly NSFW photo to Instagram, the Glee alum opened up about his initial hesitation to post the eye-popping picture.
Alongside the now-viral photo, in which he’s posing in the mirror completely nude — except for a strategically placed Speedo that he is holding instead of wearing — Criss wrote: “So what’s more red? My sunburn, my speedo, or YOUR FACE??? #ACSVersace”
Hitting the “share” button on the Tuesday, May 30, post wasn’t Criss’ first instinct, but after getting words of encouragement from his loved ones, the actor, 30, decided to go for it. “It actually took many many days to figure out if I was going to do it or not,” Criss told Us Weekly at the iHeartRadio Much Music Video Awards in Toronto, Canada, on Sunday, June 18. "I asked a couple of my friends, I asked my girlfriend and they all agreed I should do it.”
The American Crime Story actor, who is dating writer/producer Mia Swier, joked that the photo is something that every member of the photo-sharing app should be entitled to post "I’m not much of social [media] guy, but I feel like everyone gets to do one,” he explained of the post, which has more than 240,000 “likes” to date. "Life is too short. Sammy Davis Jr. once said, ‘If they don’t talk about you, they don’t give a damn.’”
Criss also opened up about shifting his focus from acting to music while American Crime Story is on hiatus. "I’m concentrating mostly on my music and my band,” he said. "My band is called Computer Games and our debut came out in April. It’s a band with my brother and basically the project we have been working on our entire lives.”

If you have a chance, check out this fan art video. It's really very wonderful!
# Repost @dianadeecreations
My very first full animation inspired by the #LostBoysLifeEP by @weplaycomputers is up on youtube, link in my bio! I’m really getting into digital art these days, especially with a band name like “Computer Games” and the super fun music of the Lost Boys Life EP inspiring me to make a full animated video! It took me almost 3 months to make 1min 43secs of content, and I almost gave up a few times, but it’s finally finished! I used Photoshop because it’s what I’m used to, but if I ever decide to make another one I’ll probably try another program.
I hope everyone enjoys it and checks out the EP available on Spotify and iTunes! #notsponsored#iwishlol

Keep voting for Computer Games on: http://www.iheartradio.com/risingstar! 50 votes, per day, per Account (Google Plus, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, iHeart). That's 250 votes per day if you have one account per category, and could be even more if you have several accounts of one category or more (for example, 2 twitter accounts, 2 Facebook accounts, etc.)!
Plus, keep tweeting and retweeting as much as you can, and posting on Instagram and Facebook (your accounts need to be public). Requirements are: 1) Your accounts need to be public, and 2) Need to include these words: #RisingStar PLUS[b], either Computer Games, #ComputerGames or @weplaycomputers[/b]
We all want to see Darren and Chuck be the OPENING ACT for the iHeartRadio Music Festival!
This is an important message from the fans who run the Computer Games Street Team blog(it's sorta long, so I'll break the message down into parts to make it easier on your eyes):
From dailydarrennews:
Computer Games Street Team wrote:
Computer Games have entered a contest that runs from May 10th through July 3rd.
If they win this contest, they will be the OPENING ACT for the worldwide streamed iHeart Radio Music Festival, which means BIG EXPOSURE for the band.
We have the power to make this happen for Chuck and Darren via a combined voting effort. Here is how you can help:
The official Macy’s iHeart Radio Rising Star page is a quick way to submit a spurt of 50 votes to the band.
You are given the option to submit 50 votes max per Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/Google+/iHeart Radio account you have.
That means that if you have one of all five of these types of accounts, you can submit a total of 250 votes per day for Computer Games.
Simply refresh the page to log into/submit votes with another account!
If you are mobile, don’t open the page through the twitter app! You’ll experience problems! Open it through Safari/Google/preferred mobile browser.
You will know that your votes went through when you see this:
Go ahead and share the post for an extra vote!
Every new voting day begins at 12AM EST and ends at 11:59PM EST.
If you have more than one of each of these accounts (i.e. 3 Twitter accounts and 2 Instagrams) that means that’s another 50 votes max per day, per account, that you can submit!
USE ALL YOUR ACCOUNTS EVERY DAY. THIS INCLUDES SAVED ACCOUNTS.
BUT THERE’S MORE YOU CAN DO:
You have a max of 50 votes each day per account[for purposes of entering the sweepstakes for you to attend the Music Festival], but that’s just the easy voting numbers you can give the band! When you submit those votes, you’re also being entered into a sweepstakes to attend this Music Festival. That’s where the entry limit comes in. YOU CAN STILL SUBMIT MORE VOTES ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA; they just aren’t entries for the sweepstakes!
My Note: So guys, you can vote MORE than 50 times per day, per social media account!
Only 50 votesper day,per social media account, is counted for purposes of you entering into the sweepstakes for you to attend the Music Festival.
But any additional votes (over 50 per account) still are counted for: Purposes of trying to get Computer Games into the Top 5 bands/music artists--so that Darren and Chuck can move onto the next stage of this contest!
So vote as many times as you can per day for Computer Games!

On Twitter, there are three ways for your votes to count towards this contest. Your tweet MUST INCLUDE #RisingStar PLUS[b], either Computer Games, #ComputerGames or @weplaycomputers, AND must also be tweeted from a PUBLIC account.[/b] This applies for all retweets. If your account isn’t public, none of your tweets or retweets will count.
To clarify, your tweet can say:
“Sending in my Computer Games vote for #RisingStar”
[i]“Sending in my [/i]#[i]ComputerGames vote for [/i]#[i]RisingStar”
[/i]“Sending in my @weplaycomputers vote for #RisingStar”
“I just dropped a jar of pickles, whoops. #ComputerGames #RisingStar”
AND ALL OF THESE TWEETS WOULD COUNT, as long as your account is public.
You can tweet and retweet an UNLIMITED amount of times, so have fun with it!
If you don’t mind it, go ahead and like this tweet as well so other fans know that it’s okay for you to send votes to your mentions instead of spamming up their friends’ twitter timelines:

COMPUTER GAMES As high school kids, Darren Criss and his older brother Chuck spent nearly every afternoon playing music in their basement for hours upon hours. With Chuck on guitar and Darren on drums, the San Francisco natives tapped into everything from British power-pop to Bay Area punk to create their own rowdy breed of garage rock. Though they’d always planned on forming a bona-fide band together, each ended up striking out on his own path: Darren embarked on a singing/acting career that’s included the creation of YouTube sensation StarKid, starring on Glee and in the next season of American Crime Story, and a string of successes on the Broadway stage. Meanwhile, Chuck joined acclaimed indie-rock act Freelance Whales, with whom he recorded and toured with as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter for several years. But in 2016, the two finally decided it was the right time to revisit their teenage ambitions and launch a guitar-fueled alt-pop band that they’ve named Computer Games.

Cute video by iHeartRadio. Looks like it was filmed on the day they had their launch party/concert in NYC. Love the little bit about how the ring tone of Darren's mom is "Teenage Dream." So cute! You sorta do look like Ninja Turtles with the head bands.
