G4TV is getting less and less streams. How long will they be around for?

[BahnNZ]

Looking forward to it, lots of games featuring my current favorite game engine Frostbite 2.

[masteratt]

But you said it was hard to see enemies because of the effects? Why is it your fav?

Good topic though, fav engine....Hm. I don't know what mine would be. And no, not R.A.G.E...though it is probably high up, it's not "omg amazing" good as the movement is still a bit iffy and dark areas render oddly at times still.

[GTAce]

Sony, 3 am here. FUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

[Luis]

Sony, 3 am here. FUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

Oh, sucks. It used to be a lot sooner in previous years.

[Segitz]

Na, it was as bad last year, too... '10 and earlier were better. But I can live with it (I have no more Uni work to do, so I could watch it if I wanted to... but do I?)

In any case... I haven't enjoyed a single EA presser yet. Most of them are too casual for my taste. I did like Ken Rolston on stage, last year, but that didn't help KoA sell better, either^^ Ubisoft and Konami are worse, though. Ubisoft... god... that was sooo wrong, last year.

But a question... will we have a live chat like some years ago? I really enjoyed that, instead of dumping all our thoughts into the threads.

Yeah, me too. Do we still have a chat?

[Viper]

We don't currently have a chat installed but I can talk to Chris about it.

That was just one area of the game where they turned all the lights out and covered the screen in snot. Don't do that...

No mention of Overstrike, haven't heard a thing since the first trailer.

[venomv]

We don't currently have a chat installed but I can talk to Chris about it.

Any update?

[Segitz]

We could as well just use IRC...

[venomv]

We could, I don't know how it set one up but that would work.

Channel Name should be posted somewhere...

[Viper]

Any update?

Chris is in LA on business this week so it's not likely we'll get a chat mod installed in time.

Ok, was very short notice anyway. IRC it is if we can get people on it.

Stuff has come up for me so I'm not positive I will be home to watch it live anyway.

[Segitz]

Well, I could prepare some IRC stuff, no problem... but since several keynotes are in the middle of the night for me (specifically Sony at 3AM) I am not sure if I'll be able to attend, either.

[GTAce]

Ah, here was the timezone picture, never mind.

15 mins, come join the chat


Fuck... that's today^^ I thought I had more time to "prepare"^^

So... if anyone is interested, I think we could meet up in IRC for chat (instead of abusing the forum).

However, I am not sure if I will be able to make it in time. I will try, though.
