Well I have some bad news in that I’m running late on the next Game Dungeon. I just can’t see it being finished by tomorrow. I intended to have it done this month, but it’s going to take a couple more days. I do intend to have multiple Game Dungeons for July however, and I plan on posting a short follow-up video a little later to the latest Ross Rants since some confusion + good questions were brought up that I wanted to address.

Also a reminder, the next videochat will be on July 3rd at 4pm EST at twitch.tv/rossbroadcast. You can either email me or post any additional questions / topics you have in the comments below. I can’t promise which will come out first, the videochat, or the next Game Dungeon, but they should both be pretty close to one another.

Also the next Planetside 2 play session will be on July 16th at 2pm EST on the Emerald server, also on twitch.

That’s it for now. Expect several more Game Dungeons coming both July and August!

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.
