Later today we’ll be streaming PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS. Why? Only Josh knows. We’ll be streaming on Twitch when the time comes. I hope you can make it and explain to me what this game is and why Josh wants me to watch it.
Edit: Thanks everyone for tuning in. We streamed almost two hours each of PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS and Nier Automata. The VODs will go up on youtube at some point, but until then, you can find them in the Twitch Archives.
What is Vulkan?
There's a new graphics API in town. What does that mean, and why do we need it?
id Software Coding Style
When the source code for Doom 3 was released, we got a look at some of the style conventions used by the developers. Here I analyze this style and explain what it all means.
The Strange Evolution of OpenGL
Sometimes software is engineered. Sometimes it grows organically. And sometimes it's thrown together seemingly at random over two decades.
Batman v. Superman Wasn't All Bad
It's not a good movie, but it was made with good intentions and if you look closely you can find a few interesting ideas.
The Disappointment Engine
No Man's Sky is a game seemingly engineered to create a cycle of anticipation and disappointment.
Hoo boy. Quick drinking game ideas?
Let’s try with
– 1 shot whenever Josh says “stop shooting me”
– 2 shots if Josh ever dies because he’s remained out of bounds of the play area
– 1 shot if he kills two people in a row
– 2 shots if he gets killed while driving
replace shots with small beers if you prefer
YES. THIS IS THE NEW YEAR STREAM. IN APRIL.
ALSO IN PITTSBURGH BECAUSE I HATE MYSELF.
Say “Hi” to Ashur for us.
Noooooo! I’ll still be at work when the stream starts. You better be playing for more than an hour, sonny! :P
@Shamus
This game is basically loot-gathering like in Metro*, plus fight to the death, plus big sandbox-ish island to roam around on. The play area gets smaller over time, to force players into conflict (as opposed to hiding on opposite ends of the map), and ensure that only one person survives.
* Actually, the island you play on has lots of Ukrainian graffiti, so the language of choice is another thing in common with that game. (Or was that game Russian…?)
Metro was (I believe) set in Russia, based on a Russian novel, but developed by Ukrainians.
I watched the Quick Look of this, and it looks absolutely ripe for shenanigans.
Imagine my surprise when I popped into the stream at the very end, and found them playing what I had just that morning recognized as perhaps my favorite game of all time.
This stream makes a good case for a super short Twenty Minutes With of Shamus and Chris playing a little indie gem, don’t know if you’ve heard of it, but it’s called Undertale.
I would have watched if I had known there would be Nier Automata instead of Thing I’ve Never Heard Of. :/
Its better to watch thing-youve-never-heard-of however.Thats how I discovered the glory of saints row.
I personally found Thing I’ve Never Heard Of much more fun to watch.
Get out of your comfort zone; Variety is the spice of life!
And he who controls the spice,controls the universe.
Its a good thing that not many people watched the stream.Even now,I am afraid for Chris’s safety.Cant imagine what wouldve happened if more people were there.
I’m guessing that everything before the recent PlayerUnknown stream was pulled from Twitch because of the recent split?
And here I was, hoping to get a last gander at the Nier: Automata stream.
No,twitch always purges everything except the most recent thing.Nier is saved on youtube,and should be there.
