Updates on everything that’s going on. Expect at least two Game Dungeons this month. I’ll also be having a birthday streaming session where I try to beat Supreme Commander on hard all in one setting. All important dates and links are in the Youtube description.

February 7th: Videochat with fans
All above will be live at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast at 6PM UTC.
Just a quick update, I’ve finally set up a twitter channel at twitter.com/accursedfarms. I was able to get the Accursed Farms name due to a fan squatting it since 2009. I don’t have many plans for this, and still don’t completely understand all the dynamics with Twitter. Frankly, I think spending a lot of time on twitter would make me feel like I’m wasting my life. However, it is useful for quick announcements, like letting people know when there’s a new videochat, play session, a short status update, that sort of thing. So that will be a good place to check if you just want condensed versions of anything new that’s happening with regards to the videos or events, but I don’t plan to use it for much else.
This is a post as a reminder of submitting questions if you want me to try and answer them for the December videochat. I’m trying something new this time, where it’s been suggested to me that there should be a system where people can vote questions up or down so I answer what people want to hear the most. I don’t have a system set up to do that, but reddit does. I contacted the person running the Accursed Farms channel on reddit and he set up a thread where you can post questions to be voted on HERE. I’ll try to incorporate other questions already submitted, but feel free to re-post them on reddit to be voted on.
I would have done this sooner, but I didn’t want to make people sign up for yet another service, but this seems to be the most convenient way to do this sort of thing at this time. I actually have no involvement with the Accursed Farms reddit section, other than I said a while back I was cool with somebody running it if they wanted to.
In other news, there’s unfortunately not going to be a new video this month, however I’m currently working on a new production method where this could possibly be the last month that happens. Work is already underway on multiple more videos.
This is a last-minute notice, but I’ve discovered I can no longer launch Planetside 2! This means I can’t join up with fans. So as a quick ditch effort, I’ll be playing Zombie Panic: Source instead. Go ahead and download it now (it should be free) and I’ll have more info on what’s going on soon if you want to join. Stream will be on twitch.tv/rossbroadcast.
Here’s the November chat with fans. A few highlights of this one are that I hope to have a Zombie Panic playsession with fans in the future, although the sheer player limit will unfortunately limit how many can join up. I also discuss an update on the situation with EA killing games. Unfortunately it seems letters will have absolutely no impact as there a sophisticated system in place to ensure that executives never see these letters. I’m still working on other approaches to get this practice to end, but it’s going to take some time to implement. Work continues on more videos in the meantime!
