Well I would have put this video off if it wasn’t already pre-planned since I’m in the middle of working on others, but here it is. The short version is more Game Dungeons are coming soon! I don’t have a 4th of July video planned this year I’m afraid, though I hope to again eventually. Expect a new Game Dungeon in a couple days, and more after that. More videos! Aaaaaah
New video, finally! I’ve been wanting to make this episode for a month or two, although I was holding off until new videocards were announced last month as it’s relevant to this topic (it’s discussed in the video). If things had gone a little differently, I wouldn’t have made this, because I wouldn’t have thought it necessary. Unfortunately, things drifted into rant territory instead, so here it is!
This is the longest Ross Rants I’ve made so far and will likely be the longest for some time to come. I wasn’t trying to make it long, I just had a lot to say, some of which you’ll be hard-pressed to find elsewhere on the internet. I pretty much unloaded almost all my thoughts on VR that have been building up for a long time now. As you’ll see in the video, I’m partially obsessed with the topic and have a love / hate attitude towards the medium that I’m trying to reconcile. Anyway, I hope my drive towards it ignites in other people, particularly 3D programmers.
The next video will be a Game Dungeon. I hope to have it out in under a week, but I’ll just have to see how it goes.

Here’s the stream from the latest Planetside 2 session. This one is higher quality than the last one as I was able to merge two different feeds, so it’s at 1080p and has the game sound also, however I can’t promise it will be that way next time. The OBS stream got out of sync twice and was out of sync with the other game footage recording at least a dozen times. The webcam feed isn’t 100% in sync with everything else, but it’s very close. Anyway, this one started off with me bumbling around, but ended up pretty well with a large uphill battle. It never really resolved itself, but there were some good battle moments in it. New video should be coming in a couple days!
Surprise Dead Game News update! I really wasn’t planning on making another episode so soon since I’m in the middle of working on other videos, but seeing as how the Planetside 2 play session is also today, I felt like I had to get this out ASAP. Planetside is shutting down! This definitely gives me conflicted feelings about doing the play sessions in Planetside 2, I talk about it in the video and will no doubt mention it more in the livestream today.
This is just an update to remind people the Planetside 2 play session is on the 18th at 2pm EST. Assuming nothing melts down, it will be on the Emerald server and you can follow along on twitch.tv/rossbroadcast.
In other news, I’ve filmed the next Ross Rants (3.5 hours of shooting that need to be edited down), but still need to process everything. As much as I’d like to have it be done this weekend, it will probably be until at least Monday due to all the editing involved. I will say I get a little more worked up in this one than previous ones. After that’s done, I’ll get started on the next Game Dungeon.
