TABLE OF CONTENT TALKING POINTS Episode (48)7-18-21(Host Scene)Zazz - Welcome to Episode 2 of Table of Content World. A show by streamers for streamers and the wonderful people who support them. I am Zazzaboo your host and the Editor in Chief of TableOC.com. ~Welcome to our regularly scheduled guest host Eminent Stump.Stump do you want to tell us about your up coming excursion?Introduce the boysHate: Streaming NewsDespite Twitch ban, Amouranth beats Pokimane & Valkyrae to become the most-watched streamer The entire Twitch community has long been trying to get Amouranth off the platform for a multitude of reasons - most notably, her "suggestive content".However, it seems like her plans to gain popularity through 'pseudo-ASMR' content have been paying off well so far. She recently became the most-watched female streamer across every platform out there, with a watch time of 13 million hours on Twitch.With this record, she has beaten Valkyrae and Pokimane - two of the most influential and popular female streamers at the moment. Well her plans have worked and many of those who criticized her may have added to the 13 million hours watched on Twitch. This is not the first time the hypocrisy of a community has been exposed like this. The world has seen people secretly follow the content of those who they have condemned many a time. On a different note, Amouranth's achievement might be alarming to some in the community. While the Twitch community condemns her content as being provocative, suggestive and harmful, this achievement goes to show that her content has a rather massive target audience.BATS - As someone who was banned for something inconsequential how does this stuff hit you?Ludwig warns Twitch will "die" if streamers just keep reacting to each other Ludwig Ahgren has spoken out against Twitch streamers reacting to each other's clips every broadcast, warning the ever-popular streaming platform may “slowly die” if stars continue to simply rely on others' content rather than creating their own.“There are just too many ‘React Andys' now,” he said.“They've gone too far. I feel like people go live and all they do is watch other people's content. I mean, it's fine, I do it, but it's really becoming too much.”The Twitch star warned, if left unchecked, the meta of streamers “feeding” off each other's content could have major repercussions for the platform: “That content is fun, yeah, I like it. But if everyone does it, all the time, then the whole Twitch ecosystem dies. Someone has to be creating content for people to keep stealing.“What we need is fresh content, instead of all the reactions.⁠Rogue  -  If this is the case do you think it could open the door for more smaller streamers to step into higher profile roles and fill the void left by react andys?? YouTube takes a page out of the Twitch playbook with subscriber-only chat Over the past couple of years, YouTube has worked on establishing itself as a streaming platform where gamers can stream their gameplay live to their followers, much like Twitch. Borrowing a few plays from the Twitch playbook, YouTube just added a few features that will make live streaming more enjoyable for both the streamer and their viewers.According to a new YouTube Help post, the company is looking to make its platform more streamer-friendly. The first major update that YouTube has recently pushed out is the ability for a streamer to select subscriber-only chat.The platform also added polls to YouTube stream chats. Polls are a great way for a streamer to interact with their audience, and it allows the audience to have some input on a streamer's content.The last new feature is the ability for a streamer's audience to share clips on the stream. This feature has been incredibly popular on Twitch and is a great way for people to discover new content creators on the platform. For now, YouTube's clip feature is only for users with more than 1,000 subscribers, but the platform said it would eventually roll the feature out to everyone.Stump -  We have speculated for a long time about when youtube would make a push at Twitch. Do you think this is a good step?Tech/Gaming News - Twitter is killing FleetsTwitter is killing Fleets less than a year after launching the Stories-like feature to all its users. All Fleets will disappear for the final time on August 3rd.The short lived feature was at times controversial. Soon after it rolled out to all Twitter users last November, many raised questions about how the feature could be used to target others for harassment. Others questioned whether Twitter really needed a “Stories” feature of its own.In a blog post, Twitter VP of Product Ilya Brown said the company hadn't “seen an increase in the number of new people joining the conversation with Fleets like we hoped.” Brown added that Spaces will continue to get placement at the top of users' timelines and that the company is still analyzing the full-screen ads it started testing in Fleets last month (Twitter hinted at the time that the new ad format could eventually make its way to other places in the service, too).Bats - On this show we've often laughed at the fact that every service now has stories. Are you surprised that Twitter is the first one to give up on them?Valve Announces the Steam Deck, a $400 Handheld Gaming PC The Steam Deck has a form factor similar to that of a slightly larger Nintendo Switch but with the capabilities of a full gaming PC. It runs a modified version of Valve's SteamOS, complete with a new console-like interface for easy navigation of both the Steam store and your Steam library, but it also provides access to an unrestricted computer desktop where any third-party applications can be installed (including non-Steam games or launchers).In terms of hardware, the Steam Deck has a 7-inch, 1280x800 resolution, 60hz LCD screen, a custom AMD APU featuring a 4-core, 8-thread CPU paired with 8 RDNA 2 compute units for the GPU, and 16 GBs of LPDDR5 RAM. Practically speaking, that makes it a substantial amount stronger than the Switch, allowing it to run modern games impressively well.Jedi Fallen Order on an in-development Steam Deck at “High” graphical settings with little-to-no issue. It can even suspend running games like a console, and Valve says the intent is really to give players access to their entire Steam library on the go.The Steam Deck doesn't have a hard release date yet but it's currently set for a holiday 2021 launch, and Valve President Gabe Newell told IGN that hitting these price points was 'painful' but 'critical'. Rogue- Valve has a history of under supporting or abandoning support for its hardware should users be wary of that here? (then give your thoughts on the console.)Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Voices Concerns Over Preservation of Video Game History  Xbox boss Phil Spencer has aired his concerns regarding the preservation of video game history, with Microsoft's backwards compatibility programme contributing to ensuring that a library of games is always available on an Xbox console. This isn't the always the case, however, with backwards compatibility a relatively rare thing on other platforms.However, other companies place far less stock in preserving a back catalogue, as recently evidenced in Sony's decision to close its old browser-based PlayStation Store, making certain digital titles unobtainable. While Sony eventually U-turned on plans to shut down the PS Store on PS Vita and PS3 consoles, questions surrounding how much value there is in games preservation have been raised.“I do worry a little bit about losing our artform and the history of it,” Spencer told the Kinda Funny Gamescast (via GameSpot). “When I think about old ROMs and MAME and these things of where these old games are going to go as the hardware that's capable of running those games. I really wish as an industry we'd come together to help preserve the history of what gaming is about, so we don't lose the ability to go back.” On preservation, one of the things that the cloud does offer us is the ability to throw more hardware at some of the emulation scenarios, to make it possible to really emulate,” Spencer continued. “When we're in the cloud, we don't have to worry about the local compute capability to emulate those old systems. It's one of the reasons why we look at the cloud and we continue on some of our backward compatibility work, which we are still working on, because I want those games to still be playable.”Stump - We've talked a lot about backwards compatibility but approaching it from a historical preservation perspective may be what the industry needs to make it finally make it a priority.FootNotes-  Other Notable NewsDwayne Johnson has confirmed that Black Adam has finished filming with video from the set. The movie started filming back in april and has given out many teases during production but we will have to wait until next summer for the finished product.Don Cheadle has revealed that Armor Wars wont begin filming until next year. Marvel Studios announced at the end of 2020 that Cheadle will return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe and star in a solo project as James Rhodes aka The War Machine. We wont likely see this spin off until sometime in 2023.According to The Hollywood Reporter, THE CONTINENTAL a John Wick Spinoff series has a director. Albert Hughes will direct two episodes of what is now a three-episode event series for Showtime. Each episode is said to be 90 minutes and will carry a budget of around $20 million each.Loki director and executive producer Kate Herron says she won't be returning for season 2. Loki ended in a game-changing event earlier this week that will forever send shockwaves throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We hope the series still fairs well with a new director.Entertainment News - James Gunn Reveals Why Jared Leto's Joker Isn't In 'The Suicide Squad' The Suicide Squad writer and director James Gunn has revealed why Jared Leto's Joker doesn't show up in his film.Whether you liked it or not, Jared Leto's Joker was a core part of David Ayer's Suicide Squad. Looming over the entire Squad, Leto's Joker received mixed responses from critics and audiences. Some found his character to be juvenile and annoying, while others praised the updated gangster take on the iconic Batman villain. After the film received middling reception, Leto's Joker was sidelined in favor of Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, who received unanimous praise. And so, Joker and Harley Quinn's relationship was severed in Birds of Prey, and the Clown Prince of Crime isn't set to appear in James Gunn's upcoming Suicide Squad sequel.Gunn had this to say“I just don't know why Joker would be in the Suicide Squad. He wouldn't be helpful in that type of war situation. I wanted to create what I thought of as the Suicide Squad. For me to react to David's movie would make it the shadow of David's movie. I wanted it to be its own thing completely.”“When Warner Bros. said they wanted me to do this, I watched the first movie for the first time, and I called them back and said, what do I have to keep from this movie? And they said, nothing. They said, listen, we would love it if Margot's in the movie but she doesn't have to be. You could come up with all new characters or you could keep all the same characters.”Bats - We here on TOC aren't exactly big Jared Leto fans so lets get some fresh perspective. Does this help or hurt expectations for this movie?BLACK WIDOW's Writer Was in the Dark About Post-Credits Scene We like to think that Marvel Studios maps out everything years in advance. But, some scenes start filming before anyone really knows what's happening next. Black Widow is a perfect example of that. Writer Eric Pearson wrote Black Widow and several other Marvel projects including Thor: Ragnarok, Ant-Man, Avengers: Infinity War, and more. And even he was in the dark when it came to a Black Widow plot point.IPearson wrote the scene featuring Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. When she hands Yelena (Florence Pugh) the photo for her next assignment, no one, not even Pearson, knew who the heck it was even going to be.Rogue - Interesting that they are keeping secrets even from writers. Why do you think that might be?https://screenrant.com/guardians-galaxy-3-william-shatner-role-interest/ When asked if he would join the Guardians for the third installment, Star Trek actor William Shatner exclaimed, "I've guarded the galaxy many times."Guardians 3 still hasn't begun filming, at the moment aiming for a late fall start, though director James Gunn has claimed to have at least completed the soundtrack. After rumors that Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill would be in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, the Kirk actor now putting his name in the race showcases just how much fans want their sci-fi galaxies to collide.In an interview with Express, Shatner revealed he is more than willing to play a role in the third Guardians of the Galaxy film. While discussing Senior Moment, Shatner teased the possibility of rejoining the Starship Enterprise again as long as it was "it was something worthy," before going on to say he'd love for Quentin Tarantino to direct Star Trek. When asked about any interest in joining Star-Lord and Gamora in the stars, Shatner exclaimed, "Yeah! I've guarded the galaxy many times."Stump - Who wouldn't want Shatner in their movie?BOLD PREDICTIONS ~Plug your stuff.~Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc ~Don't forget to check out the patreon. Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Well they are back and many are unhappyFrom Sportskeeda.comA few have passed since Amouranth and Indiefoxx's latest Twitch ban, and the suspension has been officially lifted. While it's good news for the creators themselves, the community isn't too pleased with how many times Twitch turns a blind eye to their activities. Amouranth alone has been banned over 5 times on the platform, yet her account is safe, while others get permanently banned on the first offense. Many users have expressed their frustrations at Twitch's system and have been calling for a reevaluation of their measures.Banned for seventy-two hours for exploiting the ASMR category with sexually suggestive material, Amouranth and Indiefoxx have served out their sentences and are ready to return to the platform. But after 5 bans it begs the question, why does Twitch have hope for streamers who have violated the Terms of Service multiple times?Members of the Twitch community themselves have come out and spoken about the dangerous precedent Twitch's blind eye sets and how this could eventually harm the very fabric of the platform.With the growing pressure from the community, Twitch may deal with suspensions in this vein differently in the future.Coach - Where do you fall on this subject as a female streamer and as a parent?Twitch Banned in An Entire Country Because of One StreamerIt's hard to go a week without hearing about another Twitch streamer being banned for some seemingly mundane reason. Thanks to unclear rules and inconsistent enforcement, the streaming platform has become infamous for these bans. This time, though, the entire site is the one that's banned, with the users in Slovakia completely unable to access it.Strangely, this site-wide ban is all due to one streamer, as he was found illegally playing online poker while on stream. There's a great bit of humor to be found in the situation, but it is also a serious issue for those Slovakians that can no longer access the site to watch their favorite streamersThe streamer in question is dDandis, a Twitch partner with around 35,000 followers. He hasn't been banned from the Twitch platform yet, but his actions did somehow result in the entirety of Slovakia being banned from the site indirectly. At the time of writing, the only internet service provider to have followed through with this so far is O2.It seems that the block was supposed to apply only to dDandis' account, but instead went out to the entire site. It's unclear whether or not other ISPs will follow suit by banning the entire site or instead limit it to just dDandis. Supposedly, the ban went into affect because of dDandis' online Poker streams, which are in violation of the Slovakian laws about promotion of gambling.Symph - The hits keep coming for Twitch. It seems like they are getting more erratic with their bannings and making mistakes while allowing things like our last story to fester. What do you think needs to happen at Twitch to make positive change?Ludwig defends Twitch gambling sponsorships after Clint Stevens' criticismStreaming star Ludwig ‘Ludwig' Ahrgen jumped to the defense of Twitch streamers who take up gambling sponsorships after speedrunner Clint Stevens argued against them.Gambling streams have existed on Twitch pretty much since the very start. There are plenty of content creators who sit and play slots, poker, or blackjack all day, with viewers tuned in to see them win huge payouts.After speedrun star Clint Stevens said that streamers could simply choose not to accept gambling sponsorships, Ludwig jumped to the defense of streamers who accept them.“Does he not f**king get that people's careers on Twitch last literally years and then it goes away? Like a few f**king years,” Ludwig said, referring to streamers securing the bag as they grow more and more popular.Clint also criticized other products that regularly appear as Twitch sponsors, and Ludwig defended them as well, noting he doesn't take “stupid sponsorships” himself in the same way that others might.Even though gambling streams might be a hot topic, they are likely to stick around. Twitch has dedicated sections for casino games and beyond.Foxx- What is your take on this? Should Twitch crack down on something like gambling with stories like our last and other shady business we have seen them used for ?Tech/Gaming News - Brought to you by FoxxDenMarvel's Avengers has a weird bug on PS5 that puts your IP address on displayMarvel's Avengers got a big new patch on Tuesday, but alongside a number of updates, it has added a pretty bad bug on PS5. The game will now show a string of floating text on-screen while you're playing — and notably, that string includes your IP address, according to Forbes. That means if you want to stream or show any sort of gameplay on Marvel's Avengers' current patch, somebody could use your IP address to learn a lot about you, such as a general idea of your location.The developers have acknowledged the bug via the game's Twitter account, and in tweets posted after we first published this story, specified that this bug is affecting PS5 players and shared when you expect to see a fix.“We are currently testing a solution to the issue of personal information, including the player's IP address and username, being displayed on screen on PS5 and plan to deploy a hotfix tomorrow at around 8AM PT,” the developers said. “PlayStation 5 players should refrain from streaming or posting screenshots online until then as sensitive information may be displayed,” they continued.Publisher Square Enix didn't immediately reply to a request for comment.Coach - This has been fixed now but in a world where privacy is so important how do you think something like this got past them? Should they be accountable for damages that comes from this or other companies that do the same?Hedge Fund That Took Massive Losses on GameStop Thanks to WallStreetBets Is Shutting DownIn our first story from gizmodo,One of the hedge funds targeted by notorious Reddit investment board r/WallStreetBets is bust, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.According to the FT, London-based White Square Capital took big hits during this period. A letter to investors obtained by the paper, as well as sources familiar with the fund's operations, indicated it will soon shut down its main fund and return capital after it has completed an investigation of its business model.However, one person “close to the fund” told the FT that r/WallStreetBets and meme stocks weren't the ultimate cause of the fund's doomsday, as White Square made back “a fair share” of its January 2021 losses on GameStop which hit a double-digit percentage.Florian Kronawitter, a former Paulson & Co trader and White Square's chief, described the pending shutdown as related to a glut of greedy money in the long-short equity market. Shorting is a high-risk trading strategy where an investor (often a hedge fund) makes a bet that a company's stock price will tank by borrowing assets and selling them with an agreement to buy them back at the market rate in the future.It was broadly despised by r/WallStreetBets, which viewed it as yet another destructive Wall Street practice that kills healthy companies and leeches profits off the overall diminishment of the economy.Symphonic - Do you think they are being truthful saying it wasn't wallstreetbets that caused them to shut down?GAMING Microsoft Reveals Windows 11's Impressive Gaming FeaturesOur second story from comicbook.comOne of the biggest appeals for the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate service is the fact that subscribers can also enjoy a large number of games on PC. With that in mind, Microsoft has revealed that Windows 11 will be "the best Windows ever for gaming." In a new blog post on Xbox Wire, Microsoft revealed some of the gamer friendly features that players can expect to see from the newest version of Windows. These improvements include superior graphics and faster overall speeds. Combined with the Xbox Game Pass library, Windows 11 should prove to be very enticing for PC gamers.Improved graphics are always a plus, but it's not nearly as exciting if it makes the game run slowly. Thankfully, Windows 11 will implement DirectStorage, another feature utilized on Xbox Series X. This feature allows games to "load assets to the graphics card without bogging down the CPU." Essentially, this means that games will feature impressive graphics, but players won't have to worry about drawn out load times, as a result.Windows 11 will also feature compatibility with a number of Microsoft products, including Wireless Controllers, gaming mice, headsets, and other peripherals. It's a bit early to tell, but from the way things sound, Windows 11 should provide an excellent gaming experience.Foxx - Explain to us more tech illiterate what this means for us and the future of gamingFootNotes-  Other Notable News Marvel has teamed up with VEVE Collectibles to release its first official NFT collectibles. With the NFT craze having died down this is a great sign for the digital collectables company as many great brands like DC and now Marvel have now signed on with them. The new theatrical version of Frank Herberts classic DUNE has been delayed. Originally slated for October first of this year it has been officially pushed back to the 22nd and is part of a large shuffle of releases by Warner Bros. Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum are working on a Smallville animated Sequel. The two will not only revise their role in voice but are working to get as many of the original cast to join the effort as well. The sequel will of course be one of many DC HBO Max exclusives Speaking of Superman, this september you will be able to buy the Snyder Cut of Justice league on 4k Ultra HD and Blu-ray. Lets hope with good sales this could spur them to allow a sequel. Entertainment News - Brought to you by us. Check out our patreon and consider supporting the show and website on a monthly basisSUPERNATURAL Star Jared Padalecki Didn't Know About THE WINCHESTERS Spinoff and He's "Gutted" — GeekTyrantThis week big new hit that Supernatural star Jensen Ackles was developing a spinoff series titled The Winchesters with his wife Danneel Ackles. The show will center around Dean and Sam Winchester's parents, and Ackles will return to reprise his Dean Winchester character as a narrator of the new show.I thought it was a little odd that Supernatural's Jared Padalecki wasn't mentioned. I thought for sure he'd be involved, after all, he and Ackles had a close working relationship over the course of 15 seasons. Well, it turns out that Ackles didn't even tell Padalecki about the project.Padalecki took to Twitter to reveal that he's had “no involvement whatsoever” in the show and yesterday's announcement was the first he heard about it. He also says he was “bummed out” and “gutted” that he's not involved.He wrote, “Dude. Happy for you. Wish I heard about this some way other than Twitter. I'm excited to watch, but bummed that Sam Winchester had no involvement whatsoever.” When asked by a fan if his tweet was a joke, Padalecki replied, “No. It's not. This is the first I've heard about it. I'm gutted.”After some Twitter Drama Padalecki says he talked to Ackles and says that things are good between him and Ackles. He shared on Twitter: “@JensenAckles and I had a great talk, as we do often, and things are good. The show is early in the process with miles to go. We've travelled a lot of roads together, and sometimes those damn roads have bumps. Bumps don't stop us. Once brothers, always brothers.”Coach - Do you think the “early in the process” line was an excuse or the truth? Also are you excited for the prequel?https://heroichollywood.com/ewan-mcgregor-obi-wan-kenobi-another-villain/Back in December, it was revealed by Kathleen Kennedy that Obi-Wan Kenobi would reunite Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader in “the rematch of the century.” However, that apparently won't be the only villain Obi-Wan will battle in the series as Making Star Wars reports he will also “fight at least one inquisitor.”The Inquisitors were first introduced to the Star Wars canon as Jedi hunters in Rebels and have gone onto appear in everything from the comics to Jedi: Fallen Order. After the Obi-Wan Kenobi cast was officially announced, Moses Ingram teased on social media her character will wield a lightsaber in the series, so perhaps she's playing one of the Inquisitors? Making Star Wars also hinted that Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi will leave the twin suns of Tatooine.The Obi-Wan Kenobi series has been described as a special event series for Disney Plus, and details on the upcoming Star Wars series are being hidden away on Tatooine. Still, we do know the series will feature a rematch between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader ten years after the events of Revenge of the Sith and before their final confrontation in A New Hope.Symphonic - Leaks like this always get out but do you think this series would benefit from more being known or less?Chris McKay Teases Batman's Role In Planned 'Nightwing' FilmWith director Chris McKay doing press for The Tomorrow War, we are starting to hear new details about the Nightwing film announced back in 2017. The director has already shared an update that he hasn't been told the film has been canceled, so there's still hope. While speaking with ComicBook.com, McKay opened up about the themes of his Nightwing film:“It becomes a revenge movie and it'd be an introduction to Nightwing and the world of Blüdhaven. There was going to be a lot of villains. It was going to be  real, it was going to be a character study about this guy who grew up with sort of a bad dad. How that made him as a young adult try to fight off and go as far away from that world as humanly possible and get dragged back into it.”Of course, a major question that gets brought up with a Nightwing film is what Batman's role would be, and a lot has changed since 2017 with the character on the big screen. Chris McKay went on to say that things were still being worked out when he was developing it, but hinted that Batman wasn't going to play a major role in the planned film“There was still some stuff that needed to be determined of what that was going to look like. It was like you were picking up a Nightwing comic. You're not guaranteed Batman was going to show up, but he could show up and other people could show up, but again you're dealing with Nightwing and that's what I like about it. I like the idea that we don't necessarily connect to certain things, we can just have it be a story that takes place in Blüdhaven or with Dick Grayson and his world. How he became Nightwing and why be became Nightwing there was a lot of stuff I liked about the approach.”Foxx - There is a lot to unpack here. First off I would be stoked if they still make this movie. Secondly, does a movie like this need the Bat or do you think the inner monologue of a brooding Dick Grayson be enough Batman for the movie?BOLD PREDICTIONSFoxx Make some Bold Predictions~Plug your stuff.~Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc~Don't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

They have entered into a corporate partnership with Twitch.From The Nations Restaurant News.Chipotle Mexican Grill and livestream gaming platform Twitch have entered a partnership naming Chipotle the exclusive limited-service restaurant of /twitchgaming, a new channel on the platform, the brands announced last week.This is the first partnership of its kind for the social media platform. The fast-casual chain will be the official marketing partner for the channel, which is being described as a place for gamers by gamers on the platform.The channel will have sessions about the future of gaming, news related to gaming, celebrity participants and more. Throughout the summer, Twitch will host multiple events to boost the channel's reach, and some of those will be in partnership with Chipotle.As a part of the sponsorship, Chipotle will host a new game. “Chipotle Build Your Own PC,” inspired by Chipotle's burrito bar format, will have players will build their own PCs with streaming “extras” (e.g. lighting panels and soundproofing equipment), and donate the PCs to a non-profit organization.Chipotle is also launching a branded feature where hosts and guests provide their unfiltered opinions on the gaming topic at hand.Jeff: Do these sort of corporate partnerships mean main stream adoption or will they ultimately bring Twitch down?Twitch Bans Amouranth, Indiefoxx, and More Over Controversial "ASMR Meta"Twitch has banned Amouranth, Indiefoxx, ExoHydraX, and more over recent ASMR streams. At the moment of publishing, Twitch has not confirmed this is the reason behind the ban spree, but given who the targets are and that all of the bannings came at once, suggests it's for said streamer's participation in the new "ASMR TikTok Leggings Yoga Meta," more often referred to as the "ASMR Meta."Much like the Hot Tub streams before, this new meta exploded out of nowhere, with many of the same streamers involved. As you may remember, both Amouranth and IndieFoxx were at the origins of the Hot Tub meta, and they were once again at the center of the new ASMR Meta as well. And for their troubles, they've banned by the platform, though it's unclear if the bans are temporary or permanent.At the moment of publishing, Twitch has not addressed the controversial new meta in any capacity beyond these bannings. As you may remember, it was very slow to address the equally controversial Hot Tub meta, so this may not change anytime soon, and it may not change at all if these bannings kill off the meta, which has yet to take off on the same level as the hot tub meta.That said, the bannings come after many in the Twitch community -- including several of the platform's top streamers -- began to criticize the trend and Twitch for its lack of response.Beard: Was Twitch right to ban these streamers over the new ASMR Meta?Adin Ross warns Twitch fans not to buy 'trash' crypto coin he hyped up in paid streamPopular Twitch streamer Adin Ross has admitted to promoting a ‘trash' cryptocurrency to his audience, laughing about the deal weeks later while hoping “no one actually bought it.”Various cryptocurrencies and token exchange platforms have become increasingly prominent sponsors across social media in 2021.Ross was just one of many streamers engaged with a recent crypto push on Twitch. However, just weeks later, the popular figure has now laughed off one such deal, and admitted he hoped “none of his fans actually bought in.”During a sponsored Twitch stream in May, Ross was actively pushing a newly created ‘MILF Token.' Throughout the broadcast, he was converting hundreds of dollars into the cryptocurrency and pushing it in front of thousands of viewers watching him live.Ross also promoted the Token in a now-deleted tweet.At the time Ross was paid for the sponsored stream, MILF Token was valued at upwards of $0.001 on CoinMarketCap. Today the cryptocurrency now sits at a price of $0.00006, marking a decline of roughly 180% in just a few weeks.Reflecting on his paid engagement with the crypto brand, Ross laughed about the situation in a June 18 broadcast. “Chat, by the way, that MILF Token sh** I did a while back… I already told you guys, don't buy that sh**.”Stump: This isnt financial advice but I think its safe to say if you see celebrities or personalities taking money to promote shitcoins its probably a good idea to avoid them.Tech/Gaming News -  Brought to you by The Guy from the sneak commercial OFFICIALLY ROGUECyberpunk 2077's Latest Patch Continues to Try and Make the Game Run Better on ConsoleSecondly from IGN, the game the internet loves to hate.Cyberpunk 2077 has just released its latest patch, 1.23 for PC, consoles and Stadia. Among the usual mix of fixes, it makes clear that CD Projekt Red is continuing to work on making the game perform better on consoles.Announced on the Cyberpunk 2077 website, patch 1.23 includes "various console CPU optimizations." While detail's lacking, CPU optimizations could help everything from frame rate to calculations made to improve the game's simulation. Whatever those changes, it's clear that the developers are continuing to work on the game's general performance on last-gen consoles, or in backwards compatibility on new-gen consoles.That's particularly important in light of the game's return to the PlayStation Store on June 21. Six months after being removed from the service, Sony clearly now sees the game as stable enough for sale on its store – but still made a point of telling users with original PS4 units that they will "continue to experience performance issues with the PS4 edition while CD Projekt Red continues to improve stability across all platforms." Hopefully, patches like this will go some way towards remedying that problem.Jeff: Are you jumping in or do you think we should wait for CDPR to show proof this is working?E3 highlights new titles and efforts to diversify gaming industryE3 2021 had plenty of new game announcements, including the long-awaited Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2. Nintendo released a new trailer for its upcoming sequel that's as bold and creative as Zelda has ever been.The trailer teased a lot of the aerial action for which Zelda is known, and even new Sheikah Slate abilities (including flamethrowing) that would make even Elon Musk blush.There are also possibilities for multiple villains, including Bokoblins and Ganondorf; the game is set to debut sometime in 2022.Marvel has a few new releases popping soon, including a new game that features the quirkiest group of rebels in the universe — the Guardians of the Galaxy. But it's going to take a little more than the reputation of the crew and a Marvel licence to make this game sell.The game came under fire because although the game maker (Square Enix) has the rights to the characters themselves, it did not secure the rights to the actors portraying the characters. The game's otherwise solid graphics, coupled with some zany shooting action and witty banter between the characters, makes for a decent game.Marvel fans might also want to try War for Wakanda, a game featuring everyone's favourite motley group of superheroes: the Avengers. Players can feel the weight of Thor's hammer as they help the king of Wakanda keep the country's vibranium stash away from the likes of Klaw. According to the trailer, the release is slated for August.Nintendo also made some announcements concerning its favourite plumber: Mario. The company has a few new games out including WarioWare and Mario Party Superstars. Mario Party signals the return of dozens of classic mini games and boards from past Mario Party games. In this one, players can play locally or online, including with strangers. It is due to be released on October 29.Players can visit another part of the galaxy, as they step into the world of Avatar. Ubisoft provided a look at the lush jungles of Pandora featured in Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora.Beard: There was a ton to get excited about at E3 which of all the games do you think will be the big breakout?FootNotes-  Other Notable News Carrie Fischer is getting a Hollywood walk of fame star. Her daughter Actress Billy Lourd is set to give the induction speech. Other notable names getting a star this year include: Francis Ford Coppola, Macaulay Culkin, Willem Dafoe, Salma Hayek, Michael B. Jordan, Regina King, Ray Liotta, Ewan McGregor among many others. Xbox Cloud Gaming is on its way to Xbox One, Microsoft announced this week. If you are like me and many others buying the hottest new console isn't always in the budget. Cloud gaming will change all. Personally I am excited that Microsoft is changing this industry. Spotify has acquired Podz, a startup whose technology generates preview clips of podcasts, the streaming service has announced. Unlike other services podcasters can use to manually create clips, Podz apparently automates the process of finding key moments from episodes using machine learning. I can only imagine what it will think of this show. Leaks on Epic game store seemed to show that we may be getting a FF7 remake version for PC. Game Files codenamed Pineapple were found in the back end of the store but they made a small mistake. The folder contained the name ff7 remake. Obviously its unconfirmed but should generate considerable hype. Entertainment News - Brought to you by us.

Luke Evans (The Alienist) and Josh Gad (Frozen 2) will reprise their respective roles, which they first portrayed in Disney's live-action 2017 remake of the original movie.Evans and Gad are also joined by Briana Middleton (The Tender Bar) as a new character, LeFou's step-sister. According to the official press release, “the series will follow Gaston and LeFou as they set off with LeFou's step-sister, Tilly, after a surprising revelation from her past comes to light, sending the unlikely trio off on an unexpected journey filled with romance, comedy, and adventure.”The show is being written and produced by Gad alongside Once Upon a Time's Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz. Liesl Tommy (Eclipsed) is attached to direct the first installment of the eight-episode series. EGOT Award-winning composer Alan Menken, who wrote the music for the 1991 animated Beauty and the Beast, returns with an all-new score.“For anyone who's ever wondered how a brute like Gaston and a goof like LeFou could have ever become friends and partners, or how a mystical enchantress came to cast that fateful spell on the prince-turned-beast, this series will finally provide those answers ... and provoke a whole new set of questions,” said Gary Marsh, president of Disney Branded Television, in a statement.Jeff: This should be a fun way to get some B&B backstory. Do you think Disney should do more things like this with their catalogue of stories?Matt Heafy's Reveals Twitch Channel Income Drawing PowerDuring the pandemic, artists had to find new ways to reach their audience and in a New York Times piece, Trivium's Matt Heafy reveals just how enjoyable and profitable his life has been since joining the streaming platform Twitch, revealing he makes nearly as much there as from Trivium's other music streaming platforms combined.Heafy was one of several artists profiled within the piece, which addresses how Twitch has become one of the more profitable streaming platforms for artists. In the piece, it's revealed that In 2019 and 2020, Heafy's band, Trivium, collected an average of $11,000 a month from the other audio streaming services while his own Twitch channel generated just under $10,000 from an audience that was about one-tenth the size.Heafy says his daily routine consists of getting his twins dressed and fed before decamping to a bedroom at his Florida home where he uses three computers and three cameras as well as his assorted musical instruments and gear to connect with his viewing audience. Typically online between 9AM and 3PM, the Trivium frontman will practice guitar riffs, play first-person shooter video games and has become known for some of his cover songs and production work.Two of Heafy's most recent collaborations have been delivering a metal version of Richard Marx's '80s ballad "Right Here Waiting" with the pop-rock singer and pairing up with fellow Twitch user Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park on a new track called "In Defiance." Both collaborations had some "fly on the wall" screen time with Heafy on the Twitch platform as they were coming together.According to the New York Times article, Heafy has around 220,000 followers on Twitch with an average of over 10,000 watching at any moment.“Even if I don't feel like practicing, I know people are going to be there who want to hear a couple hours of their favorite Trivium songs,” Heafy said. “So I make sure I'm there to make their day good.”Bofa: You and Jeff are both musicians. This sounds like the market is ripe for good music. Have you thought about trying to focus on music on your streams?James Gunn Has Talked to the Heads of Marvel and DC About the Possibility of a Crossover Movie — GeekTyrantComic book fans know that there is a divide when it comes to the fandom of DC and Marvel properties. Fans typically gravitate toward one or the other, or if they do enjoy both, they know they are in separate camps. Rarely have the characters from one property crossed over to the other universe in print, and we haven't seen it happen yet in the modern blockbuster.But while it isn't likely, it's not completely out of the question if you ask James Gunn. The Guardians of the Galaxy and upcoming The Suicide Squad director has crossed over, so he's not ruling out the possibility of the films also merging one day. In a recent Tweet, a fan asked Gunn, “Along this lines, do you think there's even a remote chance we ever see a big blockbuster crossover between the MCU and DC?”.Gunn replied, “I've casually talked to the powers-that-be at both Marvel & DC about it. I would love for it to happen. I don't think it's likely, but I don't think it's an impossibility either. THAT SAID, just constantly seeing crossovers & mashups is less enchanting to me than a strong story.”So it's not like he has a pitch ready to go, but I think that if Gunn came up with the right story, he's just the director that both studios would be happy to hear out.Stump: If you could have your dream DC/Marvel mashup, what would it look like?BOLD PREDICTIONS~Plug your stuff.~Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc~Don't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Welcome the champ.Streaming NewsStreamer says she received an email from Twitch warning of DMCA strike for performing coversAs we've talked about many times recently Twitch is cracking down on DMCA claims against streamers. This next story though might leave you wondering what can't be copyrighted.From DOT EsportsMusician and Twitch partner AyyTrae shared during a recent stream that she received an email from the platform informing her that her covers could wind up resulting in her receiving a DMCA strike on her channel.“Previously Twitch said it was fine as long as you're controlling every aspect of the music so I was playing the guitar and I was singing,” AyyTrae said. “So it should have been fine but now they're saying that I cannot have covers of music.”While covers aren't commonly thought of as targets for DMCA takedowns, they still breach the copyright infringement laws over the composition of a song, leaving them vulnerable to being flagged.AyyTrae's words come just over a week after Twitch sent out a batch of DMCA takedown notices to streamers, along with an email detailing what creators should do to protect themselves from being targeted.I hope the dmca attorneys don't start hanging out in local bars on saturday nights.Irish - Does this seem excessive to you? What do you think Twitch needs to do to give its creators a little more protection?Dr Disrespect likely banned from $300K World Series of Warzone tournament over Twitch tiesBad news for fans of violence, speed, and momentum. According to the World Series of Warzone ruleset and Twitch partnership, it seems that Dr Disrespect will be banned from the $1.2 million tournament.Warzone is getting its biggest event series of all time: the World Series of Warzone, which has a $1.2 million prize pool and puts 150 streamers, pro players, and content creators in private lobbies. And it looks like Doc will be prevented from participating, let alone getting any air time.Twitch Rivals is partnering with the WSOW and that isn't good news for Doc fans. For one, the ruleset asserts that all players “shall broadcast their gameplay exclusively on the streaming platform designated.”Additionally, the ruleset also explains that all participants must “be in good standing with respect to the applicable broadcast platform on which the WSOW Tournament is distributed.”Tighe - Do you see this as a Mistepp by the tournament given the Docs popularity? Should they work to try allow him to be involved?Streamer JubileeBlais banned for linking OnlyFans on Twitch twitchJubilee Blaisdell aka JubileeBlais has been banned from Twitch following attempts to promote her OnlyFans during one of her live stream.Twitch streamer JubileeBlais has been caught in action violating Twitch ToS that forbids actively promoting other platforms, namely OnlyFans during live streams for which they have allotted a “Bio” section for all links for external websites. Her channel being marked for mature content doesn't let her get away with promoting suggestive content.JubileeBlais confirmed that duration of the ban to be 3 days but in the meanwhile fans can find her content on YouTube. She was aware of the ToS that prohibited sharing any links to mature and suggestive content.So far out, there isn't any explicit display of nudity on her OnlyFans but Twitch couldn't care less. Even though she has promised to suggestive content  “but I'll still post some sexy selfies till I figure it out idk”. read one of her Tweet. However, as of now she'll have to wait for 3 days before she can get back to producing her Pokemon content.Stump - If promoting other platforms is against TOS every streamer on this platform is in big trouble.Tech/Gaming News -  Brought to you by The Guy from the sneak commercial OFFICIALLY ROGUEXbox Will Be Built Into TVs, Xbox-Branded Streaming Devices AnnouncedMicrosoft is working with TV manufacturers around the world to "embed the Xbox experience directly into" internet-connected TVs. The idea is you'll be able to play Xbox games with no additional hardware, except for a controller. This is a very big deal because it opens up a potentially much larger audience for Xbox: people who don't want to spend hundreds of dollars for a console but still want to play games on their TV.Additionally, Microsoft announced that it is "exploring new subscription offerings" for Game Pass that will allow "more players around the world can experience the most immersive and fun games across devices, geographies, and financial realities." The company did not share any specifics about this, however, but clearly the aim is to get more subscribers.In another effort to expand Xbox, Microsoft is working with telecom providers on "new purchasing models" like Xbox All Access that allow users to get a console (with Game Pass) for a monthly price instead of paying more up front. This is the model that has been popular and widespread for smartphones for many years.Another way Xbox is expanding is by launching Game Pass in more regions. The service will come to Australia, Brazil, Mexico, and Japan later in 2021.Irish - Do you think this will take off or do you think traditional gamers will balk at this?Twitter brings Revue newsletter subscriptions right into user profilesNewsletters are coming to a Twitter profile near you. Or, at least the chance to sign up for them is.Twitter is set to continue its ongoing reinvention of the most sacred of social-media spaces — the user profile — in the next few weeks with the addition of a newsletter subscription button. The goal, as the company explained to Mashable, is to help newsletter writers better leverage their existing Twitter followers in an effort to grow their subscriber bases.The "subscribe" button, which will live prominently on the profile pages of those who choose to turn on the feature, will be available to anyone with a Revue account (sorry, Substackers). The move shows the continued emphasis Twitter is placing on newsletters following its January acquisition of the subscription newsletter service.Writers can use Revue to generate free or paid subscription newsletters. Twitter takes a 5 percent cut of the latter.According to a mockup, Twitter users will be able to both subscribe to newsletters and read a "sample issue" directly on a writer's Twitter profile page.Tighe - What sort of use do you see content creators getting from this?House Lawmakers Say They Want to Break Up With Big TechA bipartisan coalition in the U.S. House of Representatives has introduced new antitrust legislation aimed at prying open Big Tech's death grip on our lives. If the lawmakers get their way, it could mean that some of America's largest tech companies will actually be broken up.The bundle of five new bills, introduced by legislators in the antitrust subcommittee, comes at a time when Americans increasingly agree that the “Big Four” (Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Apple) and others of their ilk are way, way too big.“Right now, unregulated tech monopolies have too much power over our economy,” said Antitrust Subcommittee Chairman David N. Cicilline in a statement. “They are in a unique position to pick winners and losers, destroy small businesses, raise prices on consumers, and put folks out of work. Our agenda will level the playing field and ensure the wealthiest, most powerful tech monopolies play by the same rules as the rest of us” and would also prevent such a company from owning other businesses that create “conflicts of interest.”Stump - How do you hope/foresee this shaking out?FootNotes-  Other Notable News A new teaser for The Witcher Season 2 has been released. The promo focuses on the character Ciri, played by Freya Allan. Ciri looks very different from the ethereal princess figure from Season 1. This time around, she's armored and training to become a Witcher. The Witcher Season 2 is finished shooting and headed to post-production to get ready for release later this year. THR reports that star Kevin Bacon has joined the cast of the upcoming Toxic Avenger remake starring Peter Dinklage, based on the cult classic Troma superhero flick! The reboot film has no release date yet but we are keeping our eyes peeled for you. Advanced tickets have gone on sale for Marvel's Black Widow release on July 9th. If you are lucky enough to have theaters open in your area you can go ahead and get advanced tickets to the first Marvel Big Screen release in over 2 years. Lawrence Fishburn has confirmed he is returning as the Bowery King for John Wick 4. He describes the script for the 4th installment of the action series as “really really cool.” Entertainment News -Ricky & Morty Movie Will Happen Says Show ProducerLastly from screen rantWhile fans eagerly wait for season five of Rick & Morty to drop later this month, the show's producer lets loose that the trippy, sci-fi comedy will eventually be made into a movie.As told to Metro, Rick & Morty producer, Scott Marder, says that a movie will happen at some point. Marder sat down with writer Dan Harmon and actress, Spencer Grammer (the voice of Summer), for a roundtable interview. The trio discussed the possibilities of making their show jump to the big screen.While a Rick & Morty movie has not been officially confirmed, nor is it in any form of production, creator Justin Roiland has fueled the rumors by saying that it's more a question of "when" and not "if." During the roundtable interview, Grammer explained her idea of how a full-length film could work by offering up the possibility of a "3D interactive movie" or even a 4D style flick like the ones featured in theme parks (recall Shrek 4D at Universal Studios).Irish - Does this series really have anything to gain from a feature film? I would rather Dan Harmon finally make the Community movie.Thor: Love and Thunder Crew Shirt Reveals New Chris Hemsworth DesignAn official crew shift for Thor: Love and Thunder reveals a brand new look for Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder.Principal photography officially wrapped on Marvel Studios' highly-anticipated sequel Thor: Love and Thunder, which will be the latest adventure centered on Chris Hemsworth's God of Thunder following the events of Avengers: Endgame.Taika Waititi returns to direct the sequel, and some set photos gave fans a glimpse at what to expect from Chris Hemsworth's new look this time around. Now, a shirt that was given as a gift to the crew of  Thor: Love and Thunder reveals an exciting design that looks to be inspired by the Eric Masterson/Thunderstrike version of the hero.Tighe - from the new look, What do you think we can gather about the 2nd strongest Avenger?Critical Role's next campaign launches this month with a new Dungeon MasterAfterAfter six years, two campaigns, and 265 livestreamed episodes, Critical Role is doing something new in the world of Exandria. The Dungeons & Dragons actual play series is launching an eight-part mini-campaign with a new Dungeon Master (DM). The story is set some thirty years after the end of season one, and a full decade after season two — which featured a group of characters known as The Mighty Nein. Best of all, creator Matt Mercer will be joining the fun as a full-time player character.The new actual play series is titled Exandria Unlimited, and it kicks off on June 24 on Twitch and YouTube. Taking the reins as DM will be Aabria Iyengar, CMO of Dice Envy and a popular actual play performer in her own right. Fans of Iyengar's work will recognize her from Mother Lands , Happy Jacks , Dimension 20, and Saving Throw — where she also spent time as the DM.Stump - What are your thoughts on this break from the norm for CR?BOLD PREDICTIONS~Plug your stuff.~Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc~Don't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The livestreaming service is testing Follower Emotes that let broadcasters hand out up to five emotes just for following their channels. You can only use the emotes in the channels where you earned them, unlike subscription emotes, but this lets you show support for a streamer without having to use generic or third-party icons.Certain Affiliates and Partners will get these follow-specific emotes as part of a beta. The feedback from the test should lead to a wider rollout later in 2021.There will be an extra motivation to pay, mind you. Twitch is introducing Animated Emotes for Tier 1 subscribers that, as the name implies, add a dash of movement. Creators will have up to five animated icons they can either produce from scratch or quickly build using canned animations like shaking, spinning and "rave." Partners will have access in weeks (including big names like Seum), while Affiliates should see them by the end of 2021. And yes, Twitch is aware they could be dangerous or annoying for some viewers — you'll have the option to turn them off.Channel owners will have an easier time managing emotes through a new Library that provides control over every approved emote, whether or not it's active. A streamer can retire or revive emotes without having to seek re-approval or otherwise walk through the upload process. This could be particularly helpful for holidays and other times when themed emotes are popular. The Library will be available to all Affiliates and Partners, but access will be phased in over the course of a few months.Twitch said the emote updates would help mark its 10th anniversary, and that there was "so much more planned" for the milestone. Don't be surprised if you see other sizeable changes, even if Twitch has already announced a few notable examples in advance.Angel -  This seems like good news all around! Not just for viewers and streamers but for emote artists. Whats your take on this rollout.GeorgeNotFound's scuffed hot tub stream shatters Pokimane's Twitch recordFirst from DexertoMinecraft YouTuber and Twitch megastar GeorgeNotFound shocked fans with an extremely scuffed hot tub stream that ended up shattering a viewership record previously held by Pokimane.On June 2, GeorgeNotFound took to Twitter to announce he was having an “epic hot tub stream” and fans absolutely ate it up.things got off to a super rocky start, as a hole in the tub started causing water to leak out of the pool and into his house. Despite this, he persevered and eventually got into the tub, albeit with clothes on.Crazily, this stunt resulted in over 350,000 viewers, demolishing Pokimane and OfflineTV's hot tub stream record that pulled 100K.Throughout the stream, George would spin a wheel with a bunch of humiliating tasks on it and whichever it landed on he would perform.These included the ever awkward “change into a new outfit” task, which poked fun at female streamers who often switch up their bikinis throughout a broadcast to even drinking the water in the tub.While the whole broadcast didn't end up lasting too long, it did create some pretty entertaining moments, kicked off some new merch sales and broke the previous hot tub viewership record.Rebel - This is obviously a pretty funny take on the hot tub meta. How do you feel about the overall shift to this type of stream?Twitch Manages To Get Out Some 'Disappointment' With Music Industry Over Latest Round Of DMCA ClaimsTwitch recently sent out an email that it had received roughly 1,000 additional DMCA takedown notices, almost all of them again over music playing in the background of recorded Twitch videos.Said Twitch in its email on Friday: “We are committed to being more transparent with you about DMCA. We recently received a batch of DMCA take down notifications with about 1,000 individual claims from music publishers.“All of the claims are for the VODs and the vast majority target streamers listening to background music while playing video games or IRL streaming. Based on the number of claims we believe these rights holders used automated tools to scan and identify copyrighted music in creators VODs and clips, which means that they will likely send further notices."Of course they will. Twitch invited them to when it showed itself to be a willing partner in treating Twitch creators like a testing ground for DMCA cluster bombs. There are platforms out there that manage to both treat DMCA requests seriously and also provide some protection, or at least communication, to its users.A few tools for creators aside, Twitch's inaction on behalf of its creative community amounted essentially to greenlighting ever more DMCA takedowns from the music industry. Any surprise at that by the Amazon-owned company is laughable.But this neutered, throwaway line from that same email is simply maddening.“This is our first such contact from the music publishing industry (there can be several owners for a single piece of music) and we are disappointed that they decided to send takedowns when we were willing and ready to speak to them about solutions.”Jacqie - Twitch acting like they are willing to talk here is kind of laughable right? They went ahead before with their music service and didnt engage the industry then to meet their needs. Do you feel like they are being truthful here or just playing a bit of the victim to avoid some backlash?Tech/Gaming News -  Brought to you by The Guy from the sneak commercial OFFICIALLY ROGUEGuardians of the Galaxy game to be announced during E3 2021 – Explica .coFour years have passed since Kotaku reported that Eidos Montreal, a subsidiary of Square Enix and creators of the Deus Ex video game saga, was working on a Guardians of the Galaxy title. Although the information was forgotten due to the lack of official information – or more leaks – it seems that we will finally see the game during E3 2021. And it is that Square Enix announced that it will hold an event to present its next news.Even more important, at the digital conference the presence of Eidos Montreal is confirmed with a World Premiere. That is, the announcement of a completely new project. If the above clues weren't enough, we should point out that Jason Schreier, a Bloomberg journalist and one of the most trusted sources in the industry, all but confirmed it.Now, Schreier's words have great importance because it was he himself who signed the Kotaku report in 2017. Before joining the ranks of Bloomberg, the aforementioned journalist was part of the aforementioned video game website. On the other hand, we must not forget that Square Enix and Marvel have previously worked on Marvel's Avengers, a proposal that unfortunately disappointed the vast majority.Rebel - First off are you more of DC or Marvel fan? Are you apprehensive at all for this title due to the way Avengers failed to meet many peoples expectations?The Twitter Blue subscription service starts rolling out ThursdayFrom the Verge,Twitter has officially announced Twitter Blue, a paid subscription service that offers access to new features like undoing tweets and viewing threads in an easier to digest “Reader Mode.” Starting Thursday, it will roll out first in Canada and Australia, where the subscription will cost $3.49 CAD or $4.49 AUD per month, respectively. We already had a good idea of what features to expect from Twitter Blue thanks to sleuthing from app researcher Jane Manchun Wong, but now Twitter has detailed everything the service includes.A new undo send feature gives you the option of retracting your tweets before they actually go live, and you can set a timer for undoing your tweets that can last up to 30 seconds. A Bookmark Folders feature lets you group saved tweets to make them easier to find later. “Reader Mode” lets you keep up with threads by “turning them into easy-to-read text” and mashing together tweets into one page. Other Twitter Blue features are purely aesthetic: it adds new color theme options as well as the ability to change the color of Twitter's app icon.Offering a paid subscription service is a significant change to Twitter's business model that the company has been considering for some time. Previously, the company has relied mainly on advertising for its revenue, but intense competition from Facebook and Snapchat's ad businesses, and pressure from investors has pushed it to explore new sources of revenue.Angel - Are any of these services something you would consider paying for?Now You Can Mine Crypto From Your Norton Antivirus AppEver wondered why it was impossible to shut down Norton antivirus? Well the time has come for an answer. Norton was preparing us to mine Ethereum.From gizmodoFirst spotted by BleepingComputer, the new Norton Crypto feature is being added to the Norton 360 antivirus app this week as an opt-in early adopter program designed to help people more easily get into crypto mining. And with the world of crypto mining littered with traps and scams, Norton Crypto does seem to offer a few advantages compared to a more DIY approach.Because many antivirus apps flag crypto-mining apps as malware, Norton claims that by building Norton Crypto into Norton 360, users can enjoy increased safety by being able to mine Ethereum without having to disable their antivirus software.Unfortunately, while Norton Crypto relies on your computer's GPU to mine Ethereum, it's unclear if each computer will be mining on its own (which is somewhat unlikely given the difficult of solving a hash with a single PC), or potentially joining a shared mining pool made up of other Norton Crypto users (in which Norton may or may not be taking a cut).And with Ethereum set to switch from a proof-of-work to a proof-of-stake validation method in the not-too-distant future, it's hard to say how Norton Crypto will be affected.But for those who've been considering dipping their toes into the crypto world and don't mind installing a potentially intrusive antivirus app, Norton Crypto could be an interesting way to learn.Jacqie - Do you see this as a positive or a negative for the crypto space?FootNotes-  Other Notable News-E3's all digital showcase is set to take place this week starting on June 12th. One of the most anticipated events on the show will be nintendos showcase where we could get a look at the next generation of the switch console but we will have to wait until tuesday the 15th for it.- An artist named Judy Juracek is suing Capcom over what she claims are stolen textures and images used in Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry. Juracek published the images in a book back in 1996 and copyrighted them asking that anyone looking to use them contact for the right to use them.- An among us crew member shaped chicken nugget was sold this week for nearly $100,000 usd. What the buyer plans to do with it I will never know.- The Atari VCS console is set to hit retailers next week. Starting on June 15th the retro console and cloud gaming hardware will hit the shelves of most major electronics retailers for a price of $299 USD. If you want to know more about the atari console I wrote an article about it and will publish the link in the description once the live show ends.Entertainment News -Discovery announces new name of WarnerMedia merger: Warner Bros. DiscoveryIn our first story a media conglomerate gets original with their new name. From the vergeDiscovery is merging with WarnerMedia, and it's now announced a new name for the combined company: Warner Bros. Discovery. According to The Wall Street Journal, the name was first revealed during a staff meeting today.The merger was announced last month. AT&T said it would spin off WarnerMedia — the entertainment giant containing Warner Bros., HBO, DC Comics, and CNN, among many others — and that Discovery would take over the new company. But they didn't have a new name prepared on the day the deal was announced.AT&T and Discovery expect the merger to wrap up in mid-2022, assuming it clears regulatory hurdles. AT&T shareholders will own 71 percent of the new company, so it's really more like WarnerMedia is being freed from AT&T and picking up Discovery along the way.The hope is that the combined entertainment giant can become an even bigger player in streaming than the two are independently today. WarnerMedia runs HBO Max, which has been fairly successful so far, though it remains smaller than Netflix and Disney Plus.Rebel - It looks like they are looking to grow their streaming properties here. Do you think we need more separate streaming entertainment or would you like to see more consolidation to 1 or 2 platforms?'John Wick 4' Adds Donnie Yen To Upcoming Keanu Reeves FilmKeanu Reeves's upcoming action, John Wick 4, has added martial arts superstar Donnie Yen to the cast of the movie.According to a new report, martial arts superstar Donnie Yen has joined the cast of the upcoming Keanu Reeves film. Donnie Yen is one of the most successful actors from the east with numerous acting credits in his native country including the Ip Man films and numerous other action films. In the United States, the actor is perhaps best known for roles in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, XXX: The Return of Xander Cage, and the live-action remake of Mulan.In the film Donnie Yen is said to play an old friend of John Wick, sharing the same history and many of the same enemies. On the casting, director Chat Stahelski seemed happy to have the martial arts icon on board for his film:“We are very lucky to have Donnie Yen join the franchise.

He previously explained that he's obsessed with the idea and that he'd do it as a one-off movie rather than spin a franchise out of it. But in a more recent interview Snyder opened up about how he'd approach the story.Snyder confessed that he'd cast new actors to play Batman and Superman in The Dark Knight Returns instead of bringing back Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, just to make sure it was entirely its own thing. He also compared the vision he has for the graphic novel to his take on Watchmen, saying it would be really frame-accurate.Jac  - Is using unknown actors something that you would get behind for something like The Bat?BOLD PREDICTIONS★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Check out her etsy!Guests -Streaming NewsAmouranth set to lose almost $500ka year from Twitch ads being removedIn our first story from Dexerto.comOn May 18, Kaitlyn ‘Amouranth' Siragusa announced that Twitch had suspended ads on her channel without warning, with no exact reason provided.It is presumed, but cannot be confirmed, that the decision was taken as a result of Amouranth's stream content, which in 2021, had been spent in an inflatable pool for the majority of the time.This so-called ‘hot tub meta' attracted significant scrutiny, and the platform said it was “monitoring” it closely. It is believed that this type of content is why Amouranth's channel can no longer be monetized with ads – and it will cost her a significant loss of income.According to the streamer herself, an average month of ad revenue on Twitch for her was around $35,000 – $40,000.Meaning, that over an entire year of streaming, this could amount to as much as $480,000 from ads alone – an income she will no longer be able to generate on Twitch.Red- I am sure she will find a way to make up for the lost revenue dont you think?Twitch is lowering subscription prices — but says streamers will earn more moneyTwitch is announcing a big change to subscription prices — but not for users in the US.From the vergeMost countries outside of the US will be getting lower prices that will be localized to their specific country, starting with Turkey and Mexico on May 20th. Those lower prices will mean less money for streamers, but Twitch believes they'll translate to more subscribers and higher earnings in the long run.The upcoming change is intended to make subscriptions more affordable for Twitch's global audience. And early tests from Twitch seem promising: the company tested localized pricing in Brazil and saw that streamer revenue and total subscriber count “more than doubled,”But Twitch is also preparing for a potential scenario where streamers could see their revenue fall as a result of the price changes, because streamers will need more subscribers — potentially a lot more — just to match their current earnings. If a streamer's revenue falls below their usual baseline (which Twitch calculates for every streamer) after the localized prices roll out, Twitch will pay that streamer a “revenue adjustment incentive” to help make up the difference.Ghost - Ghost I am wondering how this will affect gift subs. Like say I gift a sub to another country streamer will they get the revenue split of my payment or what a sub is in their country. What do you think??Twitch introduces experimental 'chant' feature for chattersTwitch is giving some communities access to a new experimental chat feature called “chant,” the popular streaming platform announcedThe feature gives content creators and moderators who use the /chant command to “suggest messages in chat.”The command will then give viewers a private message encouraging them to join others in spamming the specific message.This feature will only available for a limited time, according to Twitch's post on its customer support account on Twitter. But the exact length of time for the experiment was not disclosed.Stump - I need a bold prediction. Will this stick or end up in the garbage heap of ideas?Tech/Gaming News -  Brought to you by The Guy from the sneak commercial OFFICIALLY ROGUETech giants join call for funding U.S. chip productionSome of the world's biggest chip buyers, including Apple Inc (AAPL.O), Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) and Alphabet Inc's (GOOGL.O) Google, are joining top chip-makers such as Intel Corp (INTC.O) to create a new lobbying group to press for government chip manufacturing subsidies."Robust funding of the CHIPS Act would help America build the additional capacity necessary to have more resilient supply chains to ensure critical technologies will be there when we need them," the group said in a letter to Democratic and Republican leaders in both houses of the U.S. Congress.Automotive industry groups have pressed the Biden administration to secure chip supply for car factories. But Reuters last week reported administration officials were reluctant to use a national security law to redirect computer chips to automakers because doing so could hurt other industries.Red- We have seen chip shortages affect gamers and other tech users like crypto miners since covid. What's your take on this group lobbying DC to get chips made in the US?AT&T's $43 Billion Deal Will Impact Harry Potter, Mortal Kombat, Batman Game Studiosfrom game spot.AT&T's $43 billion deal with Discovery sees the telecom giant unload its content divisions, including HBO Max's WarnerMedia to create a new standalone company, but what's going to happen with the video game division, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment?We still don't have all the answers, but a spokesperson told Axios writer Sara Fischer that "some of the gaming arm will stay with AT&T and some will go with the new company."AT&T's new deal with Discovery represents a big change for the company--the main takeaway is that it's leaving content production by selling WarnerMedia to Discovery to create the new spinoff company. The deal's announcement was said to be "rushed,"There were reports that AT&T was planning to sell or spin off WBIE, with Microsoft, Take-Two, EA, and Activision all said to be involved or interested--in some capacity--in exploring a buyout. But in September 2020, AT&T said it was no longer seeking to sell WBIE.WarnerMedia is behind gigantic franchises like Game of Thrones, Mortal Kombat, The Lord of the Rings, and many others. It's also the operator of the newly launched HBO Max.WBIE has a number of major games in development right now across its studios, including Harry Potter: Hogwarts Legacy from Avalanche and Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League from Rocksteady.Ghost - With some pretty big titles on the way do you think they will end up spinning out to another company or sell WBIE outright?Netflix eyes video game expansion, according to new report.Netflix is reportedly searching for an executive to head up an expansion into video games, according to a report published Friday by The Information. The report suggests Netflix has approached multiple “veteran game industry executives” regarding the position, which would expand its efforts in video games.A Netflix spokesperson told Polygon the company is “excited to do more with interactive entertainment.”The streaming platform has experimented with interactive video experiences and video games in the past — in 2018, it published Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, a Choose Your Own Adventure-style movie, followed by a similarly interactive experience in 2020 for an Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt episode. That's on top of its experience producing series based off video game properties, like Dota, Castlevania, and The Witcher and its spinoffs, etcthe so-called “streaming wars” have been ongoing for years as companies prepared to launch new services, and Netflix said in 2019 that its biggest competition is actually Fortnite, which is what more likely pulls players away from the streaming service.Fortnite is a video game, yes — but developer Epic Games is also building what is calls “the Metaverse,” a growing virtual world that's more than a video game. Indeed, Fortnite is now a place where people turn for movies; over the past year, Epic has held multiple movie nights, where players can watch films through a screen in Fortnite, as well as the debut of a Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker trailer.Stump - I am intrigued by the idea of the metaverse and you and I have talked about Veve and OMI which is using NFT's to create assets for the metaverse. How do you see this shaking out for netflix?FootNotes-  Other Notable NewsA Highlander remake is in the works at Lionsgate starring Henry Cavill and John Wick director, Chad Stahelski, set to direct the film.

After it was revealed that Finn Wittrock would appear as the iconic Guy Gardener, a report has surfaced that another Hollywood name is in discussions to play another one of the Emerald Knights. Actor Jeremy Irvine as hero Alan Scott? It could happen.Jeremy Irvine, who might be remembered by some as one of the stars of the criminally underrated canceled Jason Bourne spinoff series Treadstone, is reportedly in talks to play Alan Scott in HBO Max's Green Lantern series, according to The Hollywood Reporter.While the news is not official, and it's not a sure thing Irvine will play Alan Scott, the news does seemingly confirm that audiences can expect yet another iconic Green Lantern in the series.Ghost - Most attempts at taking GL the big or small screen have been a drag. Do you think this will fare any different?HBO Max is getting new animated Batman and Superman showsLast but not least from the vergeHBO Max is getting a pair of new animated DC shows: Batman: The Caped Crusader and My Adventures with Superman, WarnerMedia announced today.The two shows appear pretty different in tone. The Caped Crusader, coming from a team that includes J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves (the director of the upcoming The Batman), and Bruce Timm (one of the co-creators of the fan-favorite Batman: The Animated Series) promises a noir-ish “reimagining” of the character.“The series will be thrilling, cinematic and evocative of Batman's noir roots, while diving deeper into the psychology of these iconic characters,” Abrams, Reeves, and Timm commented in a joint announcement. The teaser poster showcasing the art style for the series seems to back up the darker tone, with a grim-looking Batman (with an old-school pointed ear cowl) staring down at Gotham City.On the flip side of the thematic coin is My Adventures with Superman, which will follow the 20-something lives of Clark Kent (Jack Quaid), Lois Lane (Alice Lee), and Jimmy Olsen as they collectively start their journalism careers, fall in love, and for Clark, start his burgeoning career as the Man of Steel.Stump- How much lens flare can JJ Abrams get into an animated Batman show?BOLD PREDICTIONS~Plug your stuff.~Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc~Don't forget to check out the patreon.

Please welcome back to the show our good friend and the main who bails tableoc.com out of hot water regularly red_foxx15Streaming NewsTwitch uncovers 7.5 million viewing botsTwitch Streamers listen up! Twitch has removed 7.5 million of those annoying bots that make their way into your chats!From CNET.Follow-bots are used to improve a streamer's follow numbers while viewer-bots inflate the current number of viewers watching a stream, which can help boost a channel's discovery chances on the platform. Twitch says it will enforce its terms of service on these bot accounts, including taking legal action if necessary, which may lower a channel's follower and viewer counts in the coming days.Machine learning helped sniff out these bots, and Twitch says it will improve operations going forward. While some streamers looking to boost their numbers may purchase these viewer- and follower-bots in the lesser-known places on the internet, there are users who use these bots to troll certain channels. A stream could find their chat flooded with spam by the bots and this could lead to other issues if the channel gets reported for a TOS violation.Interestingly enough xQc lost 2 million followers from the ban.Matty - Have you ever had the misfortune of getting botted?Twitch loses lawsuit to banned streamer PhantomL0rdFormer Twitch streamer James ‘PhantomL0rd' Vargas has won his lawsuit against the site for banning him back in 2016, but he's received much less than the $35 million settlement he was originally seeking.Vargas was banned by Twitch all the way back in 2016 during the site's crackdown on CSGO gambling streams. Twitch said at the time of the ban that he was misleading viewers in regards to skin gambling in CSGO.The streamer wholeheartedly denied all of it and sued Twitch, seeking $35 million in damages for removing him from the platform for “unsubstantiated, false accusations,” with the court battle beginning in 2019.In the end, PhantomL0rd won his lawsuit on all counts, receiving $20,720.34 in total damages from Twitch according to court documents — a win for sure, though not exactly the $35 million he was originally going for.However, based on his reaction to the verdict on Twitter, monetary gains don't seem to have been his main reason for the lawsuit: Sending a message was.“I WON! Twitch LOST EVERYTHING, including the fraud claim against me for the CSGOShuffle allegations!” PhantomL0rd posted on Twitter. “This is a win for ALL streamers! Twitch can't bully, lie & treat streamers unfairly the way they have for years!”Foxx - Do you think this will lead to more streamers pursuing Twitch legally?https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/tiny-twitch-streamer-makes-over-85000-after-raid-by-crypto-enthusiasts-1555258/2 things near and dear to my heart. Streaming and crypto.A small Twitch streamer who was playing guitar to a handful of people had one of the craziest nights of his life after being donated over $85,000 when crypto fanatics showed up in his chat.going into his stream on April 15, Cameron Ferguson had no idea he would have one of the most successful nights anyone has ever had on Twitch, and it's because he was noticed by Cobie, who has the Twitter handle CryptoCobain, and hosts a show called Up Early.During Cobie's stream, he was looking for smaller streamers and stumbled across Cameron Ferguson playing music for a few people and decided to raid him.That's not all that happened, however, he also instructed the streamer to create a Twitter account, get on the cryptocurrency app Blockfolio and put his address in his bio so others could donate to him.From there, the money just started to roll in and completely change the tiny streamer's life.Stump - Pretty crazy and generous of these crypto streamers and fans to do this for this streamer.Tech/Gaming News -  Brought to you by our merch store!OBS gets native support for Nvidia's excellent noise-canceling techStreamers Keep listening. We have some great news coming from Nvidia as their noise cancelling tech is getting some integration into OBS.From the VergeOpen Broadcaster Software (OBS), the go-to software for streamers, is getting native support for Nvidia's excellent noise-removal technology, the graphics card manufacturer announced today. Although it was previously possible to get the same effect by combining OBS with Nvidia's Broadcast software, you'll now be able to adjust the background noise-removal feature directly from within OBS. It's currently available with the beta version of OBS Studio 27 and will be coming in a full release soon.According to Nvidia's announcement, you'll need to download its Broadcast Audio Effects SDK to get the feature to work with the new beta version of OBS Studio 27. However, when the latest version of OBS leave beta, Nvidia says the feature will be fully integrated and won't require a separate download. You'll also need Nvidia's latest game-ready driver.The new integration arrived with Nvidia's latest game-ready driver, which also adds support for Mortal Shell's RTX update as well as six new G-Sync-compatible displays.Matty - This is a great tool for people with audio issues. What other integrations would you like to see with obs?Microsoft to Buy Speech-Recognition Company Nuance for $19.7 BillionCould Voice commands  be the next big upgrade for Microsoft Operating systems??From VarietyMicrosoft said it clinched a deal to buy Nuance Communications, a pioneering voice-recognition tech company, in an all-cash transaction valued at $19.7 billion, inclusive of Nuance's net debt.It would be the second-biggest acquisition for Microsoft behind its $26 billion deal for LinkedIn in 2016. Microsoft expects the deal to close in calendar year 2021, subject to approval by Nuance's shareholders, regulatory approvals and other closing conditions.Microsoft had created its own voice-based virtual assistant, Cortana. Two years ago, the tech giant announced it would no longer try to compete with Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant in the consumer market, and instead shifted to integrate Cortana into its suite of productivity applications.Microsoft says the deal will accelerate its ability to provide cloud-based solutions specifically to the healthcare industry. “Nuance provides the AI layer at the healthcare point of delivery and is a pioneer in the real-world application of enterprise AI,” Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in a statement. “AI is technology's most important priority, and healthcare is its most urgent application.”Nuance's software formed the basis of Apple's Siri voice assistant, which debuted in 2011, before Apple brought development of the technology in-house.Stump - Where do you think they will take this tech next after medicine?Epic Games Store expands to carry Windows apps like Brave and DiscordEpic is adding five new PC apps to its Epic Games Store launcher today, in a fresh bid to offer more than just games. Indie game store Itch.io is arriving on Epic Games Store today, alongside open-source browser Brave, streaming radio app iHeartRadio, 3D model tool KenShape, and open-source painting app Krita. These are Epic Games Store's first new PC apps since Spotify launched in December.Epic Games is promising to add more PC apps in the future, including communications app Discord. There's even a new section in the Epic Games Store dedicated to PC apps, so it's clear Epic has ambitions to run its own Windows store here. That's not entirely surprising, as Epic CEO Tim Sweeney has long called for open app models and stores on Windows. Microsoft's own Windows store has failed to become a popular location for the vast amount of Windows apps and games, and popular apps like Adobe Creative Suite, Chrome, Discord, and Zoom aren't even in the Windows app store.This approach is also what Epic Games wants to see elsewhere with app stores. Sweeney was impressed by Microsoft's new open model for Windows and HoloLens 2 a couple of years ago, but Apple is firmly in Epic's sights right now.Epic's antitrust trial with Apple begins on May 3rd, after Epic sued Apple for removing Fortnite from the App Store. Epic added a direct payment system to the battle royale shooter that avoided Apple's 30 percent cut of revenues, which violated Apple's policies.Foxx - Do you see this becoming any kind of a threat to the apple store and do you think we will  see Epic move into the mobile space w this?Entertainment News -Powerpuff Girls First-Look Image Revealed for Live-Action CW SeriesCW has revealed details about their upcoming live action sequel of The powerpuff girls.From IGNThe show will still include the characters in their "official" Powerpuff uniforms, but The CW says we should only expect to see the costumes in flashbacks to their teenage years. The show will primarily focus on the characters as, "disillusioned twenty-somethings who resent having lost their childhood to crime fighting."Starring Chloe Bennet as Blossom, Dove Cameron as Bubbles, and Yana Perrault as Buttercup.Donald Faison will appear in the show as Professor Drake Utonium, along with Nicholas Podany as Jojo Mondel and Robyn Lively as Sara Bellum.The live-action version of the popular Cartoon Network show began development last summer, with producers who previously worked on the Veronica Mars revival, iZombie, and Juno. The CW ordered a pilot for the series earlier this year.Matty -Did you watch the original? Do you think you will get into this one?The Batman: TV Spin-Off Will Reportedly Focus on James GordonPersonally I loved the last Batman tv show that focused on Detective Gordon so I am HYPED for this one.The upcoming HBO Max Batman spinoff series, Gotham PD, will reportedly focus on James Gordon, forgoing using the Gotham Central comic by Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker as inspiration.Brubaker, who co-wrote the 2002 police procedural comic Gotham Central, recently appeared on Kevin Smith's Fatman Beyond podcast and shared what he knew about the upcoming HBO Max series, Batman News reports.“I was like ‘maybe they're really going to make Gotham Central this time,' and so I reached out to a producer who works for Matt Reeves and he says, ‘no, that's not really Gotham Central.'” Brubaker said. “They're making sure that they don't call it Gotham Central and it's more of a spinoff from the movie. It's like the James Gordon show.”Brubaker's comments suggest that Jeffrey Wright, who plays Gordon in Reeves' Batman, may play the officer again in the spinoff series, but no casting information has been announced as of yet.Further details about the Gotham PD spinoff remain scarce, with no release date announced, and Reeves' Batman film suffering delays due to COVID-19.Foxx - What are you looking for from an HBO Batman spinoff?Spider-Man Will Finally Come to Disney Plus With New Deal - But After NetflixNerds can rejoice! Spiderman is coming to Disney plusFrom IGNThough Disney Plus has been the streaming home for the Marvel Cinematic Universe and entries from other Marvel series like X-Men and Fantastic Four, Sony's Spider-Man movies have been a conspicuous absence from the platform's library — until now. Future Spider-Man titles, along with other Sony films, will join Disney's library in the future, as Disney and Sony have reached a new licensing agreement.The deal comes almost two weeks after Sony Pictures and Netflix have signed a multi-year contract to give Netflix first-run rights to Sony films after they play in theaters. The new Disney deal covers the period after that, meaning theatrical releases from 2022 to 2026 will head to Disney's streaming services and other television networks (FX, ABC, etc) after they leave Netflix. The package only covers U.S. markets.Stump - The landscape is changing on how these companies are cooperating. Do you think we will eventually see some of these services fold into one another?FootNotes-  Other Notable News Actress Helen McCrory, known for her roles in Peaky Blinders and Harry Potter, has died at the age of 52.

The stream lasted about an hour, and near the end, more than 125,000 people were watching live.Fallon was joined by The Roots' Questlove, Tariq Trotter, and Kirk Douglas; Stranger Things stars Noah Schnapp (who plays Will Byers) and Gaten Matarazzo (who plays Dustin Henderson); streamers Sykkuno and Rachel “Valkyrae” Hofstetter; YouTuber Corpse Husband; and Among Us developer InnerSloth's community director, Victoria Tran.

Does it help or hurt?Twitch will now use an ‘investigative partner' for off-platform misconduct Twitch is making major moves to deal with Harassment and Misconduct. From the VergeOn Wednesday, Twitch announced an expansion of its Hateful Conduct and Harassment Policy that takes into account behavior taking place off of the platform. A blog post from the company shared that the it is bringing on a “third party investigative partner” to support Twitch's internal team with investigations, and to help enforce off-platform violations.Per Twitch's post, the new partner is an “experienced investigations law firm” that will help the company to “more thoroughly investigate and respond to reports of off-service misconduct.” In addition to adding sheer numbers to the team that investigates incident reports, the post also shared that there will a dedicated email address for people to report “egregious, off-service misconduct.”The post elaborated on two categories of off-service enforcement:Category one: Someone is harassed on Twitch, as well as off Twitch. When this happens, we will take into account verifiable, off-service behaviors or statements that relate to an incident that took place on Twitch. For example: if we're reviewing a harassment report about an incident that happened live on stream, related or continued harassment on Twitter could be taken into account when reported to us. This is how our current off-service policy works in the vast majority of cases, and will not change.Category two: We will now enforce against serious offenses that pose a substantial safety risk to the Twitch community, even if these actions occur entirely off Twitch.The newly expanded enforcement will be focusing on some of the most “egregious types of physical and psychological harm,” including but limited to: deadly violence and violent extremism, carrying out or acting as an accomplice to non-consensual sexual activities and/or sexual assault, and sexual exploitation of children.Rogue: Obviously this has major upside in helping curb terrible crimes. Do you see any possible pitfalls here?Twitch streamer hits 1k subs during subathon trapped in a closet In our first story, Who knows what category this goes under on Twitch. A streamer is doing a subathon in a very peculiar fashion From DexertoA Twitch streamer by the name ‘IZIDORE' has hit 1,000 subscribers on the streaming platform thanks to a subathon – all while trapped in a closet with balloons and, bizarrely, a leaf-blower.  It was through a subathon that streamer Ludwig became Twitch's most subscribed to creator, with over 120,000 subscribers and a 240+ hour stream.While IZIDORE, with just over 8,000 followers on Twitch, could not realistically hope for a similarly monumental response, he probably got more than he bargained for when hitting 1,000 subscribers.However, the twist for IZIDORE was that the whole subathon would be completed from inside of a fairly modest closet. The closet, too, would become filled with balloons as a result of bit donations. The torture didn't end there though, with a subscription or a gifted sub leading to a leaf blower blasting.We can only imagine how sore the streamer felt when the broadcast finally wrapped at 21 hours, after nearly a full day of being stuck in a closet.Stump: You didn't know R Kelly streamed did you? What other sort of gimmick subathons will streamers come up with?Tech/Gaming News -  Brought to you by our merch store! YouTube: Videos With Moderate Profanity, Drug Content Can Be MonetizedWe are far enough into this video so we can curse. I wouldn't though because I am an angel.From VarietyYouTube said it expanded its monetization policies to allow for moderate profanity — for example, “shit” and “bitch” — used in the first 30 seconds of a video. It already had allowed light profanity (like “hell” or “damn”) throughout videos and in video titles, as well as censored profanity (including the f-word and gestures like the middle finger) and infrequent usage of strong profanity (like the f-word) after the first 30 seconds.In addition, YouTube will allow ads for more videos about “recreational drugs and drug-related content,” including those that “focus on the purchase, fabrication or distribution of drugs, such as the fabrication of home-made opioids” and “news reports about cannabis farms.” It also is granting more leeway for videos with adult themes “delivered through the context of humor” (e.g. romance and dating jokes) and for sex-education content.“Based on creator and advertiser input, we've updated our guidelines to allow more content to become eligible for full monetization (green icon) while continuing to maintain advertiser industry standards,” YouTube said in an update on its support site.It's a continuation of YouTube's gradual easing up on monetization restrictions. In 2017, as part of its attempts to become more “brand safe” for major marketers, YouTube began demonetizing videos and channels that ran afoul of advertiser-friendly guidelines. That crackdown — dubbed the “adpocalypse” — resulted in some creators experiencing significant ad-revenue losses.Cheat: This seems like a good thing for creators especially when things are live like this show but dont you think it would make sense to allow brands to choose what sort of content they are advertised w/ instead of blanket bans on things?Twitch Streamer xQc Banned From NoPixel GTA Roleplay Server Yet AgainIn a shocking turn of events xQc has been banned from a major platform….said no one ever. What wont this guy do and when will people have enough of his SHENANIGANS.From Gamerantelix "xQc" Lengyel has now racked up three bans from the Grand Theft Auto Online NoPixel roleplay server in three months. Those familiar with the former Overwatch pro's streaming career know he's an often controversial figure in streaming circles and this isn't the first game he's upset other streamers in. While playing in the Rust OfflineTV server late last year, xQc's actions frustrated others to the point that popular streamer Shroud said he would kick xQc from the server. Although the reason for xQc's latest ban from NoPixel isn't exactly clear, he's become a notorious figure in the NoPixel roleplay community.xQc's first ban came as a result of directly breaking NoPixel's server rules by killing other characters without cause. His antics reached another peak recently when xQc decided to exploit a glitch to bring a gun into a police department. After being confronted, he shot up the police department, and for this xQc was banned from NoPixel for a second time.The reason behind xQc's third ban has yet to be officially confirmed by the NoPixel roleplay server, but there's already lots of speculation, with some believing his reaction to an in-game jail sentence is the cause. After Jean Paul was sentenced to 224 months in jail for all of his antics, xQc was frustrated. Some of his Twitch chat members said they would "chat hop" to go grief some of the police roleplayers, to which xQc responded "thank god."One of the highlighted rules for the NoPixel server claims participants can be banned at any time for "breeding toxicity," and encouraging toxic chats seems to be within this scope. xQc later posted a short statement on Twitter apologizing to his streaming audience but also encouraged them not to spread hatred and to calm down.Rogue: When is it enough with this guy? How long will he be allowed to just continually break rules and push peoples buttons?Elon Musk's Neuralink Shows Monkey Playing Video Game With Mind: WatchElon Musk finally got to show off his monkey.Neuralink, a company founded by Musk that is developing artificial-intelligence-powered microchips to go in people's brains, released a video Thursday appearing to show a macaque using the tech to play video games, including "Pong."Musk has boasted about Neuralink's tests on primates before, but this is the first time the company has put one on display. During a presentation in 2019, Musk said the company had enabled a monkey to "control a computer with its brain."In August 2020 the company did a live demonstration of the technology in a pig named Gertrude. Neuralink says the monkey, named Pager, had a chip implanted in his brain six weeks ago. In the video, he was given a joystick that was hooked up to a video game in which he moves a cursor to a colored square. When he successfully moves the cursor, he's given some banana smoothie through a tube.While Pager uses the joystick, the Neuralink chip records his brain activity and sends it back to a computer for analysis of what his brain does when he moves his hand. The joystick is then unplugged from the machine, but the monkey continues to control the game, with brain signals being relayed by the Neuralink chips.Theoretically, the same tech could be used to give people control of synthetic limbs via a Neuralink brain implant. In a tweet Thursday, Musk said the first Neuralink product would let people with paralysis control a smartphone."What is definitely new and innovative is that there are no cables coming through the skin, and the brain signals are all being sent wirelessly," said Jackson a neuroscience expert who is a professor at Newcastle University,. "This to me is the advance here, and is important both for improving the safety of human applications (wires through the skin are a potential route for infection) and also as a way of improving the welfare of animals used in neuroscience studies. The Neuralink team has definitely made progress in this regard."Stump: This seems like big news for other things like Heads up displays and augmented reality.Entertainment News - This next segment brought to you by Us!

Just kidding, A new installment of the popular franchise American Pie appears  to be on the horizon from screen rant.Tara Reid has good news for those awaiting a sequel update: American Pie 5 will happen. The now iconic franchise began with 1999's American Pie, a high school comedy focused on one group's pact to lose their virginity. The original movie starred several actors who have gone on to have big careers, including Jason Biggs, Alyson Hannigan, and Natasha Lyonne. Reid played Vicky, who ends the movie breaking up with her boyfriend Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas), assuming their relationship won't survive college.Reid returned for two of the franchise's three sequel films: American Pie 2 and American Reunion. Like a few other members of the first film's cast, she was missing from 2003's American Wedding.In an interview with ET, Reid provides an update on American Pie 5. The actor says she's seen the script, calling it "one of the best ones" in the franchise. Reid also states the sequel "will happen, I just don't know when." She explains timing is the biggest obstacle to getting American Pie 5 made, though the actor says she's still in contact with her former castmates, which should help.Cheat: What is the over/under on this being direct to the walmart bargain bin?Disneyland's Avengers Campus Opening Date AnnouncedDisneyland's Avengers Campus will finally be opened on June 4, 2021, at Disney California Adventure.This immersive new area will be themed around all things Avengers and Marvel, with several locations hosted by a different Avenger and their unique theme, power, and technology. There will be areas focusing on Spider-Man, Ant-Man, and Doctor Strange, as well as the opportunity to encounter Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, Black Widow, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor, and Loki.Disney originally planned to open the Avengers Campus in 2020, but the Covid-19 pandemic closed most parks across the country. However, that's set to change at the end of April when California relaxes its lockdown rules.Alongside the existing Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout ride, Disney also revealed a closer look at the ancient sanctum, where Doctor Strange will train recruits in the "mystic arts." This area will change at night when the mystic energy lights up the area in strange ways.As for food and beverages, an eatery has been set up at the Pym Test Kitchen with an Ant-Man theme. Food is oversized or mini depending on the item, and like Galaxy's Edge, Disney will introduce alcoholic beverages for adults.Rogue - Will Tony Stark be banned from trying the adult beverages?FootNotes-  Other Notable News Hasbro has put together an Optimus prime that transforms on its own via voice command.

We have two great streamers here tonight ready to drop their opinions on us about the latest but first~Welcome RogueHate: No one hates us woooooThis first segment is brought to you by Kaylas Cupcake Design.

None of them are as weird as this next live stream.From Dexerto‘Stopsigncam' is a channel dedicated to filming a single stop sign on a random street in Salem, Massachusetts, with the account claiming that 98.73% of vehicles don't actually stop for it.While it doesn't sound like the most gripping content at first glance, Twitch viewers have become weirdly fascinated with the stream. Due to the fact that most cars don't actually stop for the sign, when someone actually obeys the instruction, the chat goes crazy.On top of that, as more and more people are catching on to the stream, some have started to actually go to the sign in person knowing that they will end up on camera.One person stopped at the sign, only to get out of his car and do a backflip.Another pair decided to re-enact a lightsaber fight, adding an unexpected bit of entertainment to the ongoing stream.The channel currently only has 7.6 thousand followers, but some of its most popular clips have over 20,000 views.While it's not the most conventional form of entertainment, stopsigncam has proven to be weirdly fascinating to plenty of viewers, and as it gets more popular, the higher the chance that people will look for the sign so they can appear on stream. Tighe - Now that people have figured out where this is of course neighbors and the streamer have started to be harassed by pizza deliveries and the fun things the internet loves to do. Do you think Twitch will eventually crack down on stuff like this because they could become liable for the harassment? The end of Ludwig's absurd 2-week Twitch stream may finally be in sight We're now 12 days into variety streamer Ludwig Ahgren's 'never-ending' subathon Twitch stream and, by golly, it actually looks like it could end this weekend. As I write this, Ludwig's chat of 36,000 viewers is fighting to keep the timer above 18 hours by tacking on another 10 seconds with every subscription. The streamer's efforts have already made him the most subscribed-to channel on Twitch right now with the second-highest total sub count ever of 120,000 (second only to Ninja's record peak of 269,000). Ludwig has a trip planned for tomorrow, March 27, that he isn't bailing on, which means he'll be forced to step away from the stream for the first time in almost 300 hours. How much his sub count grows over the next 12 hours will likely determine how this thing finally concludes. Streamer Slime (Ludwig's roommate)  will take over the subathon in his absence and even sleep on stream in Ludwig's race car bed. "I understand that this is Ludwig's stream, but we're in a weird spot," Slime said. "The [Ludwig] viewer does necessarily wish to see Slime," he said. "What I do not look forward to is 1,000 people asking, 'Who the hell is this bald douchebag?' That's just really annoying." Ludwig chimes in, "You're my horcrux, and I don't want to die." In the event that the timer is about to strike zero while Ludwig is away, his team has been instructed to halt the timer when it reaches one hour. "And then when [Ludwig] comes back, subathon is back on like Donkey Kong and the one hour starts again," Slime said in an update this morning. Off-screen, Ludwig adds, "It's like the last lap in Mario Kart." Beardcules - We see a lot of trends come and go on Twitch do you think this could become a trend or will this be a one off?GTA Online Streamer xQc Nearly Passes Out During Bank HeistReported on by Dexerto, xQc was participating in an intense bank heist on a GTA RP server. He took hostages, battled player-controlled police, but still failed to unlock the vault. During the heist, xQc saw his heart rate skyrocket to 170 BPM, and he nearly passed out from the stress. In a clip from the stream, xQc claimed his peripherals were blacking out and he was on the verge of passing out right on stream.Reported on by Dexerto, xQc was participating in an intense bank heist on a GTA RP server. He took hostages, battled player-controlled police, but still failed to unlock the vault. During the heist, xQc saw his heart rate skyrocket to 170 BPM, and he nearly passed out from the stress. In a clip from the stream, xQc claimed his peripherals were blacking out and he was on the verge of passing out right on stream.Thankfully, xQc managed to get out alive but left empty-handed, unable to solve the puzzle to open the vault. With police yelling from outside and the risk of having his character shot and killed for one of his most outrageous Grand Theft Auto stunts, the streamer's heartrate shot up to dangerous heights and the pressure almost caused him to pass out. When roleplaying in Grand Theft Auto, players often invest a lot of time and attention, and when they find themselves in close-call situations, it can be extremely stressful. Having hostages to worry about and the need to impress his audience by succeeding in the bank heist, the pressure mounted too heavily on his shoulders and he almost fainted.Rogue - This is one of those things you have to wonder  if Twitch will crack down on because of harm to the streamer. I think we should get you a heart rate monitor for when you play phasmophobia alone.Tech/Gaming News -  Brought to you by our merch store! RIP, Xbox Live (2002-2021) XBOX LIVE IS DEAD LONG LIVE XBOX LIVEFrom Kotaku,many Xbox users noticed a small change on the the Xbox dashboard. While uploading a screenshot to Xbox Live, some players noticed a reference to “Xbox network” where “Xbox Live” used to be.“‘Xbox network' refers to the underlying Xbox online service, which was updated in the Microsoft Services Agreement,” a Microsoft spokesperson told The Verge. “The update from ‘Xbox Live' to ‘Xbox network' is intended to distinguish the underlying service from Xbox Live Gold memberships.”In January, Microsoft announced an intention to increase the price of Xbox Live Gold, making it so the minimum (official) annual cost would leap from $60 to $120. Following widespread backlash, Microsoft reversed course and further announced that Xbox Live Gold would no longer be necessary to play free-to-play games. That change will happen at some point in the coming months, with no firm date yet.Tighe - What do you think of this rebrand for Microsoft? Call Of Duty Hacker Gets Banned From Two Games In One Twitch StreamThere is no one dumber on earth than someone dumb enough to hack or cheat while streaming a video game. Thankfully they get what they deserve.From screen rantActivision isn't pulling any punches when it comes to hackers and cheaters in Call of Duty, as one unfortunate streamer realized when he was banned from not one, but two different COD games in a single streaming session. A Twitch streamer banned during a livestream of Call of Duty: Warzone switched over to Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War only to discover that Activision's banhammer extended to him there as well.Call of Duty titles have had an especially disastrous epidemic of hackers as of late; an influx of cheaters that required Activision to take more drastic steps in order to curb the problem. With the Call of Duty franchise seeing a massive increase of active players in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to take preventative measures to curb or eliminate hackers and cheat bots rose with it. The cheating problem got bad enough that a Modern Warfare tournament was effectively ruined by hackers, which ultimately put a damper on the game's reputation. Activision, not one to take any threats to its profitable franchises lightly, was forced to take more drastic action to oust hackers. February alone saw Activision banning over 60,000 Warzone players for using popular cheating software, and the crusade to eliminate cheaters and hackers from Call of Duty is still pressing forward. This might be why Twitch streamer KD1PP found himself on the business end of the banhammer not once, but twice in the same stream. Serves you right.Beard - Do you think twitch should also crack down on cheating streams?This year's Call of Duty returns to WW2This year's Call of Duty returns to World War 2, according to fresh reports in part verified by Eurogamer.Modern Warzone reported this year's new Call of Duty is in development at Sledgehammer Games, maker of 2017's well-received Call of Duty: WW2, and is due out late 2021. Eurogamer sources have indicated this is indeed true.Modern Warzone also reports this game is codenamed Call of Duty WW2: Vanguard, and reports the name will be changed in the future. While this may indeed be the case, Eurogamer understands Activision's current plan is to stick with the Vanguard subtitle for the final version.Modern Warzone also reports "the entire game takes place in an alternate timeline where 1945 wasn't the end of World War 2", and is set in the 1950s. Eurogamer understands this detail isn't quite right, and Vanguard has a traditional WW2 setting.An open question is whether Vanguard is set for integration with Warzone. Black Ops Cold War was announced within Warzone, and its integration into the battle royale, while suffering from significant problems, clearly boosted sales of Treyarch's shooter.With Warzone set for a cataclysmic zombie-fuelled nuke event in the near future, one that reportedly will usher in a significant '80s-themed map change for Verdansk, the question is this: is Warzone set for a WW2-themed change in the future, too?Rogue -  What do you think of the WW2 alternate timeline?Entertainment News - This next segment brought to you by Us!

Things however don't look great on that front.From cinema blendDuring an interview with Variety, WarnerMedia Studios CEO Ann Sarnoff was asked if following the arrival of Zack Snyder's Justice League, will more DCEU director's cuts be released, with David Ayer's cut of Suicide Squad specifically being mentioned. Sarnoff responded: We won't be developing David Ayer's cut.Well, that's a devastating blow to the #ReleaseTheAyerCut movement, which started gaining in traction back in May 2020 after Zack Snyder's Justice League was announced. Like the Snyder Cut, there are plenty of differences between what unfolded in David Ayer's original version of Suicide Squad and what was presented in the theatrical cut, ranging from more scenes featuring Jared Leto's Joker to a badass fight sequence between Katana and the rest of Task Force X. While the theatrical cut was commercially successful and later won the Academy Award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, its critical reception left a lot to be desired.David Ayer has been supportive of the efforts to getting the Ayer Cut released to the public, saying last November that his version of Suicide Squad was “ripped to pieces” as a result of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice being “chewed up by the critics” and the success of Deadpool. This resulted in Suicide Squad being changed from a “soulful drama” to a more comedic story. Ayer confirmed on numerous occasions that the director's cut of Suicide Squad exists, and urged fans to ask AT&T and HBO Max (which you can sign up for with this link) to “let it see the sunlight.” it's possible that WarnerMedia's unwillingness to release the Ayer Cut boils down to two reasons. One, although the #ReleaseTheAyerCut movement is obviously filled with passionate fans, its ranks haven't grown as big as the Snyder Cut fanbase. Two, while there are no more Justice League movies planned for the immediate future (although the #RestoreTheSnyderVerseMovement is well underway), Task Force X is sticking around the cinematic realm, with James Gunn having written and directed The Suicide Squad. So perhaps WB isn't keen on releasing the Ayer Cut to the masses because it doesn't want to draw attention away from the property ushering in a new era.Beard - It seems the move from dvd/bluray to streaming has hurt the Directors  cut/ commentary scene. Why do you think studios wouldnt want more of their content out there?Ghost of Tsushima Movie From John Wick Director in Development Last years Breakout Game is getting a Big screen adaptation from the Director of the John Wick films.From IGNSony Pictures and PlayStation Productions are developing a film adaptation of Ghost of Tsushima, with John Wick director Chad Stahelski attached to helm.According to a new report from Deadline, Stahelski will work alongside producers Alex Young and Jason Spitz with their company 87Eleven Entertainment. Peter Kang of game developer Sucker Punch Productions will oversee the project on behalf of the studio, which will serve as executive producers.The film is set to adapt Ghost of Tsushima's story, which follows the journey of samurai warrior Jin Sakai as he fights for the freedom of the isle of Tsushima.“We're excited to be partnering with Chad and 87Eleven Entertainment, to bring their vision of Jin's story to the big screen," said Asad Qizilbash, Head of PlayStation Productions. "We love working with creative partners like Chad, who have a passion for our games, ensuring we can create rich adaptations that will excite our fans and new audiences.”Stahelski has been the long-term helmer of the John Wick series of highly-popular action movies, and is set to return for the upcoming John Wick 4, currently aiming for a 2022 release. It's currently unclear how far into development the Ghost of Tsushima movie is, and so there's no date yet confirmed for shooting or release.Tighe -  Do you think this will be a hyper violent move in that it's being directed by A John Wick alum?https://kotaku.com/australian-government-officials-anime-figures-joker-st-1846541409/amp?__twitter_impression=true Bad news for Weebs considering a run for office in Australia. from KotakuAn Australian government official's display of pop culture, comics and anime figurines in their office has been declared a ‘psychological hazard', according to a statement from the Comcare government agency.The bizarre intersection of public servant and waifu figurines entered the national consciousness last year. Around 20 figurines were reportedly displayed in the office of Gerard Boyce, who remains the deputy president of the Fair Work Commission, and the figures had become the subject of debate at a Senate Estimates hearing.Some members of the Fair Work Commission questioned whether the figurines would “undermine trust in the professionalism” of the Commission at the time, and the deputy president was forced to remove at least one of the figurines. It's not clear exactly what was removed, but the Sydney Morning Herald reported that some of the figures included Scarlett Johansson's representation of the Major Ghost in the Shell, a figurine of Jared Leto's Joker, along with Harley Quinn in fishnets, and Captain America. Imagine caring what someone else displays in their own office.Rogue - Do you think this sort of attitude will change as my generation and yours start to get to the politics age? BOLD PREDICTIONS  Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Don't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Check out our instagram to see the Letters she made for my daughter!Streaming NewsA streamer is staying live for as long as people keep subscribingTwitch streamer Ludwig Ahgren has been live since March 14th, and today marked the fourth continuous day of his broadcast. The reason? Every time someone subscribes to his channel, it adds 10 seconds to the amount of time he plans to remain live. In other words: Ahgren is running an uncapped subathon because he'll stay up as long as viewers keep subscribing.Since he's one of the most popular streamers on Twitch — with 1.8 million followers as of this writing — it means Ahgren's going to be live for at least a couple more days. (As of this writing, he's got another 57 hours to go.) Yesterday, when he went to sleep for the night in his red racecar bed, he even managed to become the top streamer on Twitch.This isn't actually against Twitch's TOS. A Twitch spokesperson emailed The Verge a statement, clarifying that they, too, have been watching the stream pretty closely and maintaining that Ahgren isn't violating any of their rules. “Our Community Guidelines do not prohibit sleeping on stream, however we expect streamers to take proper precautions to ensure their stream and chat are being monitored and attended to,” wrote a spokesperson.While he's been awake, Ahgren's been streaming games with friends; while he's asleep, his mods have been running videos chosen by the community. As Nathan Grayson wrote in Kotaku: “It's basically a big, bleary-eyed slumber party where everyone's just vibing.”Deviant - We have seen more and more of this recently. At what point do we sort of jump the shark and just start seeing 24/7 streamers become a regular thing?Twitch implements changes to help streamers with DMCA crackdownWe all know and have felt the pain of the DMCA crackdowns on Twitch. We have bemoaned the lack of help twitch provided and now so so many months later they have heard the call.Twitch acknowledged the issue late last year, but it seemed like nothing was being done about it. The streaming platform is now implementing some tools that will address the ongoing problems with DMCA strikes. Streamers will now be able to track DMCA notice on their dashboard, delete VODs in batches up to 20 at a time, and even delete all of their VODs with a single click.These changes will ensure that streamers are informed about the DMCA issues immediately and given the chance to properly address it before getting a suspension.In addition to these changes, Twitch is now allowing streamers to unpublish VODs directly within the Video Producer. That means they no longer have to download the videos first. The VODs that streamers must address will be made clearer as well, so that content creators are aware of the specific videos need their attention.Even though this will hopefully keep streamers from getting suspended without warning, it doesn't address streamers' continued frustrations with Twitch's limited music options due to DMCA guidelines. Many streamers are upset that they can't play certain songs on stream. Others are scared of live streaming outside of their home in case a song is suddenly played in public and then gets them in trouble on Twitch.Rogue - Is this enough? Or is it to little to late?YouTuber FlightReacts responds after girlfriend shuts down Twitch stream during argumentFlightReacts is one of YouTube's biggest reaction channels. Boasting over 4.6 million subscribers, Flight frequently posts reaction videos to NBA games and, more recently, has focused on developing his music career.Alongside his music and reaction videos, Flight is a big gaming streamer, who predominantly plays NBA 2K. He has also regularly played Fortnite duos with girlfriend Andrea ‘Dreyahh' Gonzalez, a Fortnite streamer herself with nearly 60,000 Twitch followers.However, the couple were in the spotlight for the wrong reasons on March 19 when Flight was midway through streaming a reaction to rapper DDG's new single, Rule #1. Flight and Dreyahh got into an argument which resulted in Dreyahh switching the stream offFans were immediately concerned for Flight, who became a father for the first time on March 3. Concern turned to confusion when Dreyahh later explained that, despite their feud, the couple was still together.However flight tweetedFinally got her outta my crib after 5+ hrs being held hostage she wouldn't leave don't believe shit that was posted I'm still single, video explaining everything ASAP, keep that same energy for ones talking down!Stump - This has to be a publicity stunt right? Should we have an on screen break up?+Tech/Gaming News -  Brought to you by our merch store!https://www.theverge.com/2021/3/15/22331537/nvidia-rtx-3060-ethereum-cryptocurrency-miningFrom the vergeNvidia implemented a special system to reduce the hash rate of Ethereum mining on its new RTX 3060 graphics card last month. It was supposed to limit mining performance by around 50 percent, but multiple reports now claim cryptominers have bypassed the protection.Japanese site PC Watch first revealed that Nvidia's protections can be bypassed without needing to modify a driver or BIOS. ComputerBase has since confirmed PC Watch's report and revealed that Nvidia's latest 470.05 beta driver is automatically unlocking performance for most RTX 3060 owners. Andreas Schilling, an editor at Hardwareluxx, has also backed up these findings.The beta driver appears to unlock Ethereum mining performance across a variety of RTX 3060 cards, which was likely not what Nvidia had planned for its test drivers. The 470.05 driver is designed for developers to test the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) performance and new features like OpenCL 3.0 support.Nvidia originally restricted RTX 3060 mining performance in an attempt to steer cryptominers away from purchasing the cards. Nvidia is offering a new Cryptocurrency Mining Processor (CMP) for Ethereum miners instead. The beta driver bypass of Ethereum mining performance will certainly make the cards more attractive to cryptominers now.Deviant - Shocking I know that this has already come to an end. I just figured it would be the community that found the exploit, not NVIDIA themself. What should be NVidias next move?Fortnite fans think The Rock is The Foundation after Instagram postFortnite has had crossovers with just about every franchise you can imagine, and now fans think Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson could be the next addition to the game. According to some conspiratorially minded Redditors, The Rock could be behind one of the season's most important but mysterious characters known as The Foundation.The speculation first started when Fortnite's season 6 cutscene was released. In the cutscene, Agent Jones is met by a mysterious new character called The Foundation. But outside of his role in this season's story, some fans noticed that he bears more than a passing resemblance to The Rock. Matteoiceman on Reddit even put the two side by side just to make the similarities extra clear.While the looks alone might have been enough to fuel Redditors, The Rock himself added to the speculation with an Instagram post on March 16, the day Fortnite season 6 started. In the post, The Rock says that March 16 is a very important day and that he wanted to be sure to post this because of how much it meant to certain people — though he doesn't actually say who those people are.Rogue - if this is true. This would have to be THE MOST ELECTRIFYING CAMEO they could get. Where does Fortnite go from here?Batman Arkham successor Gotham Knights delayed to 2022Gotham Knights, the open-world cooperative action game starring Red Hood, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Robin (but not Batman), won't make its previously scheduled 2021 release date. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced a delay for the game on Friday, pushing the title to 2022.“We are giving the game more time to deliver the best possible experience for players,” Warner Bros. said in a statement posted to the game's official Twitter account. “Thank you to our amazing fans for your tremendous support of Gotham Knights. We look forward to showcasing more of the game in the coming months.”WBIE announced Gotham Knights last summer at the DC Fandome event. The game was pitched as a co-op action-adventure set in Gotham City, which no longer has its famous protector, Batman. In the game, Bruce Wayne has supposedly perished in a massive explosion, but in a message to his surviving comrades, he tells them how to carry on in his absence. The game's antagonists will be the Court of Owls, a generations-long secret society made up of Gotham's wealthiest families.Stump - This is one I am actually bummed about a delay.

Years later, Superman would bestow the responsibilities of Batman on a new character.“It was going to be Lois and Superman's son,” Zack Snyder told Vanity Fair. “He doesn't have any powers, and then he was going to end up being the new Batman.”“Twenty years later, on the anniversary of [Batman's] death, they take young Bruce Kent down to the Batcave and they say, ‘Your Uncle Bruce would've been proud if you did this,'” he added.Towards the end of Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League, it is shown that Lois is pregnant with Superman's child, and so the wheels for this story are already in motion. Of course, it is unlikely that the sequels will ever be made.In Snyder's original plans for the trilogy, Lois Lane would have been killed by Darkseid in the second film. Superman, who had tasked Batman with her protection, loses the will to fight in his grief. Darkseid would have used this opportunity to control Superman and turn him into a villain. In order to prevent this dark future, the Justice League would have manipulated time in a third movie to ensure Batman died instead of Lois, which would have ensured the defeat of Darkseid and the birth of Superman's son.Deviant - How do you feel about Superman and Lois having a child who becomes the batman?Ryan Reynolds Is Watching Green Lantern For First Time In Honor Of Snyder CutRyan Reynolds announces he'll watch Green Lantern for the first time in preparation for Zack Snyder's Justice League. Prior to headlining the popular Deadpool movies, Reynolds attempted to lead a different superhero franchise via Green Lantern. Unfortunately, Green Lantern was widely panned and bombed at the box office, grossing only $219.8 million worldwide against a $200 million production budget. Due to those results, any planned sequels never came into fruition, and Green Lantern became one of the most infamous comic book adaptations in recent memory. In the decade since its release, Reynolds has openly mocked it several times.Even though Reynolds has found the humor in Green Lantern's shortcomings (most notably with Deadpool 2's post-credits scene), he's never actually watched the finished movie. Back in 2018, Reynolds admitted he's never seen the final Green Lantern cut, only seeing a "late stage rough cut" during post-production. After all these years, there seemed to be little reason for Reynolds to sit down and watch Green Lantern, but as he awaits the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League, he's finally going to check out his foray into the DC universe.Rogue  - Reynolds actually came to not hate the movie as much as he let on. I personally always felt the theatrical version was bad with the director's cut being ok. How do you feel about the actor trashing the movie without ever seeing it?King of the Hill Returns? Animated Revival Series in 'Hot Negotiations'King of the Hill may be the latest animated sitcom to return to the air. Writer Brent Forrester has revealed creators Mike Judge and Greg Daniels are currently in "hot negotiations" to revive the popular Fox series.As spotted by Tech Radar, Forrester teased the possible revival during a Reddit AMA session. While negotiations are still underway, Forrester revealed the plan is to reintroduce Hank Hill and family 15 years after the events of the series finale."I am sure Greg Daniels and Mike Judge will murder me for sharing this but... HELL YES," Forrester writes. "They are in hot negotiations to bring back King of the Hill. The Trump administration made it suddenly very relevant again. The characters have all aged 15 years. The project is sooooo good. Okay I've said too much :)"It's unclear whether the revival series would air on Fox or shift to become a streaming exclusive on Hulu or Disney+. Presumably, most of the surviving voice cast would return, including Judge as both Hank Hill and Jeff Boomhauer, Kathy Najimy as Peggy Hill, Johnny Hardwick as Dale Gribble and Stephen Root as Bill Dauterive. However, given the time jump involved, it's possible the role of Hank's son Bobby will be recast. It also remains to be seen how the revival might handle Hank's niece Luanne and her husband Lucky, as voice actors Brittany Murphy and Tom Petty have both passed away.Stump - Boy I tell ya what.

3-14-2021(Host Scene)Zazz - Welcome to Table of Content. A show by streamers for streamers and the wonderful people who support them. I am Zazzaboo your host and the Editor in Chief of TableOC.com. We have two great streamers here tonight ready to drop their opinions on us about the latest but first~Welcome StumpHate: Also now that we are on a new channel that is un affiliated you can support the podcast by subscribing to our patreon. There is special content there for all subscribers including My personal Vlog. You can subscribe for that same $5 like you would on Twitch or if you would like to there are several higher tier subscriptions to help fund the News sight and the podcast.As always we love your support no matter if it's monetary, hate mail or just keeping us company in chatIntro guests - Symphonic313 and Red_Foxx15Streaming NewsTwitch may be adding a ‘brand safety score' for streamersWe may be getting a sneak peak behind the curtain with what makes a person eligible to be considered for twitch partner.From the vergeCybersecurity researcher Daylam Tayari has found evidence in Twitch's internal API that the site plans to implement something called a “brand safety score” for its streamers. That score would depend on a number of criteria: the streamer's age, a rating given by Twitch staff, their ban history, the relationship the streamer has with Twitch, their automod settings, their partnership status, the ESRB rating of the game being played, and whether the stream is set to mature.If Tayari's research is indeed accurate this would represent a shift in the way that advertisers interact with streamers on the platform.Presently, one of the main ways that marketers work with streamers on Twitch is the site's bounty board; select partners and affiliates in the US, UK, Germany, and France can choose from a list of paid opportunities to either play games or watch branded videos with their communities for automatic payouts. It's a pretty slick system, one that streamlines and automates the (occasionally arduous) process of working with a brand and getting paid for it.It's not hard to imagine that if Twitch does in fact implement a brand safety score for streamers that it would be used to expand the bounty program; it seems like a useful thing for brands to be able to compare streamers on that specific axis, at least. Then again, for streamers, it does mean the site is tracking you on yet another metric that may or may not be available for you to see. I can't help but think about Uber and Lyft ratings, and how quietly insidious they can be: if your rating gets screwed up for whatever reason, you lose your ability to drive — to make money.Fox - Do you see this as a good move by Twitch or should they be a bit more transparent with how they rank streamers?Twitch Streamer Pokimane Reveals Her Relationship StatusI can't believe this is news but it is. Pokimane is single bt dubs.From game rantDue to her popularity, Pokimane has a lot of fans that flood her with questions on a regular basis, and it seems many have been asking the streamer about her relationship status as of late.In a tweet on March 9, Pokimane simply tweeted out, "single btw." She then clarified that she is not looking for a partner, but was "just tired" of people asking the same question and making assumptions about her relationship status. Pokimane's tweet about being single inspired some other streamers to do the same, including Lilypichu. In any case, now that Pokimane has cleared the air in regards to her relationship status, hopefully it means she won't have to deal with the question being asked so often on her Twitch streams and elsewhere.Pokimane's fans have sometimes been a little aggressive when it comes to the Twitch streamer and her relationship status. Last year, one Pokimane fan sent a boyfriend resume to the streamer as a Christmas present. Pokimane read the resume live on stream, ultimately rejecting it due to the fan's poor Fall Guys win record.Symphonic - This seems a bit silly to be talking about but so many lady streamers deal with harassment by weird simps (not Symphs). Should we be calling them out for this or handle it the way Poki has in the past by laughing at them?CodeMiko responds to criticism for inviting Alinity on her Twitch streamNo name strikes up drama quicker in the streaming sphere than Alinity and now Codemiko a popular Vtuber is under fire for inviting her onto her channel.From dexertoPopular virtual Twitch streamer CodeMiko is facing some criticism from fans after announcing that fellow streamer Natalia ‘Alinity' Mogollon had been invited as a guest on her stream.Soon after Code Miko debuted she had racked up over 200,000 followers, and that number shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon either.But as the number of fans increases, so does the number of people who might disagree with CodeMiko's content choices. On Sunday, March 7 it was announced that fellow streamer Alinity would be joining her for a broadcast, and some fans didn't seem too thrilled.Miko didn't just let the haters pile on unopposed though, replying to the main tweet and most of the replies with a link to Alinity's interview with Dr. K, where she talked extensively about the incident and the backlash that followed.Surprisingly, a lot of the tweets blasting Alinity that Miko responded to actually got deleted after she replied, and when other fans argued it was time to leave the whole incident in the pastStump - Is the tide turning for alinity on the PR front or will she just drag down those who dare have her on?Tech/Gaming NewsNetflix is trying to crack down on password sharing with new testSecondly from the VergeNetflix has more than 200 million subscribers around the world, and now the company is looking at ways to curb password sharing for both business and security reasons.A new feature, first spotted by GammaWire, prevents people who are not authorized to use the account from accessing it. A Netflix spokesperson told The Verge, “This test is designed to help ensure that people using Netflix accounts are authorized to do so.” If Netflix detects that someone is trying to use the account without being an account owner, they'll be asked to verify later or verify being an account owner through an email code or text code.If someone is unable to verify account ownership within a certain timeframe, they won't be able to stream any Netflix content. Instead, they'll be asked to make their own account. While this may not prevent all password sharing — hypothetically, an account owner could send their friend the code as it comes through — the idea is that it will prevent some password sharing.The test, which isn't specific to any one country for any specific length of time, is also being rolled out to try to better security measures around account protection. If there's a malicious attempt to use an account for which someone may have gained a password through fraudulent methods, they won't be able to access the account.Fox - How do you see this panning out for Netflix?People Willing to Pay $10 Million for Jack Dorsey's First TweetSecondly, NFT's are all the rage and it looks like Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey will be cashing in.From GizmodoTwitter CEO Jack Dorsey's first tweet is well-known on the platform. Published nearly 15 years ago, the tweet reads, “just setting up my twttr.” While there's no doubt that it's meaningful in popular culture, Dorsey apparently also seems to believe it's got monetary value. And it appears he's right.Dorsey posted a link to the auction, hosted by a platform called Valuables, on Twitter on Friday without a comment or explanation. Some of you may be asking, how can he sell a tweet? Dorsey is selling a “non-fungible token” of his tweet, known as an NFT. Things that are non-fungible are one of a kind and can't be exchanged for something of equal value. Tokens represent an asset on their blockchain, or the mechanism by which cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ether, are bought and sold.Now, what exactly does the person who wins the auction for Dorsey's tweet get? According to Valuables, you get a “digital certificate of the tweet, unique because it has been signed and verified by the creator.” Despite the sale, the tweet will continue to live on Twitter.“This autographed digital certificate will only be issued once on Valuables. It is signed using cryptography, and includes metadata of the original tweet like: when the tweet was posted, what the text contents are of the tweet, the timestamp of the tweet, and the digital signature from the creator's crypto wallet address,” Valuables stated.While that may not sound like a grand purchase, or even one worth the millions people are putting up for it, buying NFTs is a thing right now. Grimes sold NFTs of her artwork, which included videos, for around $6 million earlier this month. In February, an NFT of the Nyan Cat GIF sold for roughly 300 Ether. The cryptocurrency had a value of roughly $587,000 at the time of the sale.Dorsey later tweeted that the proceeds will be going to a worthy charity.Symph - Do you have any good puns we can sell as NFT's for a quick buck? Is this a passing trend or a new frontier for artists/creators?Tesla is using customers to test AV tech on public roads: NTSBElon Musk and friends cant seem to catch a break when it comes to legal matters. Now the NTSB is chiming in on Teslas newest version of self driving tech.From CNBCThe National Transportation Safety Board is calling for stronger federal requirements for the design and use of automated driving systems on public roads in the U.S., and it's citing Tesla as an example of why.In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration last month, NTSB chief Robert Sumwalt named Tesla 16 times, and pointed to the company's willingness to put a beta product on the road as one major reason to make rules clear and stringent at a federal level.He wrote:“Tesla recently released a beta version of its Level 2 Autopilot system, described as having full self-driving capability. By releasing the system, Tesla is testing on public roads a highly automated AV technology but with limited oversight or reporting requirements. Although Tesla includes a disclaimer that ‘currently enabled features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous,' NHTSA's hands-off approach to oversight of AV testing poses a potential risk to motorists and other road users.”“Level 2,” refers to vehicles that have some automated functions, but require drivers to remain attentive and keep their hands on the wheel. The highest level, level 5, would be a completely autonomous vehicle that never requires driver intervention.While Sumwalt had criticism, he also lauded the NHTSA for engaging and collaborating with his agency, along with state and local governments to arrive at the right balance of rules and regulations around emerging vehicle technologies.A federal crackdown could hamper Tesla's ability to test its Full Self-Driving systems the way it does today — using customers and public roads as test pilots and proving grounds.But clear rules from one central office could help the autonomous vehicle industry in the U.S. overall, says the CEO of Snow Bull Capital's Taylor Ogan. Federal rules, even if stringent, could align states and local authorities and reduce the patchwork of separate regulations around autonomous vehicles in each region, he said.Stump - Is Elon Musk a hero or a super villain? It seems like he's being investigated or harassed on multiple fronts while simultaneously being funded by the same government.Entertainment NewsMusicians call out Grammys as The Weeknd boycotts awards ceremonyThe Grammy Awards, set to air Sunday on CBS, is widely known as "music's biggest night."Some chart-topping artists, however, are calling out The Recording Academy, the organization behind the Grammys, for what they say is a lack of transparency with voting and diversity among nominees.One singer, The Weeknd, said he is boycotting the annual awards ceremony from now on after his latest album and chart-topping single, "Blinding Lights," were snubbed.The Recording Academy chooses the nominations for the ceremony. But since 1995, the final nominations in the "Big Four" categories — album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist — have been decided by a select committee, according to Billboard.The outlet wrote in a 2020 article that the committee was created so the final nominations in those categories were "more progressive" and "more musically adventurous."In a statement to The New York Times on Thursday, The Weeknd said he would no "longer allow my label to submit my music to the Grammys." When he was asked why he was boycotting the Grammys, he told the newspaper that it was was "because of the secret committees."The singer, whose real name is Abel Makkonen Tesfaye, declined to comment further when contacted by NBC News on Friday.The Weeknd, 31, has been breaking records in recent weeks. Billboard announced that "Blinding Lights" made history as the first song to spend a year in the Hot 100's top 10 list. And The Weeknd has also spent the third-most weeks at No. 1 on the Artist 100 list since its launch in 2014, behind only Taylor Swift and Drake.Last month, he performed on one of the biggest stages when he headlined the Super Bowl halftime show.Despite the accolades, The Weeknd did not receive a single nomination for this year's Grammys.Fox - Do you think we are seeing the end of these mysterious big groups who have told us what to like or will their strangle hold tighten?The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are getting a new retro beat-'em-upMany that know me know that TMNT: Turtles in time was one of my favorite games growing up and it may be getting a sequel of sorts..From polygonThirty years later, we're finally getting a sequel (of sorts) to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time. On Wednesday, publisher Dotemu and game developer Tribute Games revealed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge, described as “a classically informed side scrolling beat-em-up directly inspired by classic TMNT games.”Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is a four-player co-op beat-'em-up in the classic Konami style — that is, the style of brawler that sucked quarters out of anyone who played 1989's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and its 1991 sequel, Turtles in Time, in arcades. Presumably, Shredder's Revenge will offer a gameplay experience tailored for home, not for draining TMNT fans of their allowance.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is being developed by Montreal-based Tribute Games. Two of the founders of that studio, Jonathan Lavigne and Justin Cyr, previously worked on Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game and TMNT, the acclaimed 2007 brawler for Game Boy Advance, at Ubisoft. Tribute's other work includes retro-inspired fare Panzer Paladin, Flinthook, Wizorb, and Mercenary Kings. (In other words, it's a far more promising prospect compared to the Ninja Turtles games from PlatinumGames and from Red Fly Studio brought to us by Activision.)Since its inception in 2007, publisher Dotemu has leaned heavily into classic game nostalgia with retro remakes and sequels such as Streets of Rage 4, Windjammers 2, and Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap.Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge is bound for unspecified consoles and PC platforms. Dotemu and Tribute Games did not announce a release date.Symph - There is a rise seemingly in the need/demand for these retro style games. Do you see any of this as a backlash against the big vast broken games we get constantly? ie cyberpunkDoctor Who: New Details On Christopher Eccleston's Return Have Been RevealedLastly new details on Christopher Eccelstons return to Dr Who have emerged but we still don't know much.From Cinema BlendDoctor Who is rather notorious for finding ways to bring its past cast back into the franchise, though there's long been a glaring omission, in regard to getting one of its biggest actors back in the franchise. That was until recently when after a decade away, Christopher Eccleston revealed that he would indeed return to the franchise to reprise his role as The Doctor in an upcoming audio drama.Now the details behind that audio drama, Doctor Who: The Ninth Doctor Adventures - Ravagers, have been revealed by longtime Doctor Who audio collaborator Big Finish.The episodes are written by Big Finish executive producer and Doctor Who's voice of the Daleks and Cybermen Nicholas Briggs. It's hard to pull a lot of detail from the brief synopsis on the adventures, especially given the only character we can be sure we know is The Doctor. It's all exciting all the same, though, as Big Finish is set to do something that, frankly, many fans didn't think could ever be done.The story behind Christopher Eccleston's sudden exit in Doctor Who is well known at this point, and the actor has been vocal about not enjoying his experience on the show. It's a shame, of course, because Eccleston played a big part in the series' reboot and is partly responsible for the show's continued success to this day.Despite that, the actor has steered clear of any and all opportunities to play the doctor again, even to the point of being one of the only living Doctors to reject an invitation to appear in the 50th-anniversary special.And while Doctor Who audio dramas aren't quite the same as appearing in the series again, several actors who have done them have also appeared on television. Of course, it still seems like a stretch to assume Christopher Eccleston will do that but, considering it seemed like a long shot that he'd even do this much not that long ago, I'd say there's a non-zero chance of it happening.Stump - Any chance this leads to Eccelston on the screens again?BOLD PREDICTIONSPlug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etcDon't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

IRL streams tend to have the craziest things happen but not generally when you are in your own home.From essentially sports dot comTricia “Triciaisabirdy” Wang is one of top cooking streamers on the platform. The 27-year-old chef who trained at the famous Le Cordon Bleu in Paris has one of the best streams for Japanese cuisines. But the full-time professional chef had to endure a nightmare on her stream live because of troubling nuisance.In her latest stream, Triciaisabirdy was streaming like most days. While cooking seared scallops with balsamic caviar, lemon curd and parsley oil, the stream had a very unusual moment when an unknown voice could be heard. Tricia was unsure on what was happening, but something felt definitely wrong.An intruder had entered her home.Tricia at first couldn't comprehend what was happening, which led her to ask her roommates. She asks the intruder to leave her house, who, in turn, asks her to come with him. After realizing that someone had broken into her house, she asked her roommate to call the police. Before the incident moves on further, Tricia ends her stream, leaving everyone worried about her.Tricia continued to update her viewers on the incident through her Twitter handle. She posted a tweet after the intruder was arrested by the police and believed that the person was mentally unstable. She told her fans that the intruder's intention was to save her and called her a princess in need of help.Just a note out there to weird stalkers. No streamer gives a crap about you or needs you to come meet them in real life.

In order to qualify, artists must first have a release live on DistroKid for at least 30 days and have a minimum of three streams on Spotify. Artists who meet those criteria and apply will be accepted into the Twitch Affiliate Program. “DistroKid member artists do not need to meet any additional requirements or criteria,” according to a representative.Jeff- How do you feel about artists being able to bypass the metrics you and I had to work for?Twitch (Hilariously) Replaces Metallica BlizzCon Performance With Elevator MusicTwitch once again makes a PR misstep. This time in their Blizzcon coverage which is bringing the DMCA controversy back to the forefront and ironically this gaff includes Killjoy OG's Metallica.From THRTwitch users were in stitches Friday night when the gaming channel of the live streaming service placed lame music over Metallica rocking out at BlizzCon.The iconic band was part of the opening ceremony of the annual gaming convention held by Blizzard Entertainment.And as soon as James Hetfield and gang began to rock their classic, "For Whom the Bell Tolls," Twitch piped in generic, boring (free) music to avoid a Digital Millennium Copyright Act takedown order. It appears only the Twitch gaming channel replaced the music.Between the laughs, fans pointed out the band was one the most outspoken acts when it came to creating musical streaming laws, suing Napster in 2000.Last year, guitarist Kirk Hammett said the band's battle against streaming was, in hindsight, a lost causeStump -  Once again twitch steps in it. What do you see as a solution to their seemingly never ending series of gaffs?Tech/Gaming NewsEpic will pay off class-action loot-box settlement with in-game currencyEpic is set to fork over some cash as the result of a lawsuit which included those dastardly loot boxes.Here's what arstechnica had to sayEpic is set to settle a class-action lawsuit over its use of randomized loot boxes in Fortnite's "Save the World" mode by paying affected players with in-game currency. Rocket League players who previously purchased loot boxes in that game will also receive an in-game payment.While Epic never offered loot boxes in Fortnite's mega-popular battle royale mode, it let "Save the World" players purchase "loot llamas" full of random items until early 2019 (amid international outcry about the randomized loot-box business and its similarity to gambling). Shortly after ending the practice, Epic was faced with a class-action lawsuit alleging, among other things, that it had "psychologically manipulate[d] its young players into thinking they will 'get lucky.'"Under a proposed settlement for that suit, which Epic says has achieved preliminary approval, all players who purchased a loot llama at any time will be rewarded with 1,000 V-Bucks (worth roughly $8). Even though it's settling a US lawsuit, Epic says this same deal will apply to all Fortnite players globally.Epic estimates roughly 6.5 million Fortnite players and 2.9 million Rocket League players will receive the automatic virtual currency payments, according to The Verge. That suggests a rough valuation of over $78.3 million in digital reward payouts as part of the settlement. [Update: An Epic spokesperson has clarified to Ars Technica that these numbers only cover the US players who will be receiving the digital currency payout. An undisclosed number of non-US Fortnite players will also be receiving the 1,000 V-Bucks.]Jeff - Is it reasonable for this to be settled with in game loot and currency?Twitter announces paid Super Follows to let you charge for tweetsTwitter announced a pair of big upcoming features today: the ability for users to charge their followers for access to additional content, and the ability to create and join groups based around specific interests. They're two of the more substantial changes to Twitter in a while, but they also fit snugly into models that have been popular and successful on other social platforms.The payment feature, called Super Follows, will allow Twitter users to charge followers and give them access to extra content. That could be bonus tweets, access to a community group, subscription to a newsletter, or a badge indicating your support. In a mockup screenshot, Twitter showed an example where a user charges $4.99 per month to receive a series of perks. Twitter sees it as a way to let creators and publishers get paid directly by their fans.Twitter also announced a new feature called Communities, which appear to be its take on something like Facebook Groups. People can create and join groups around specific interests — like cats or plants, Twitter suggests — allowing them to see more tweets focused on those topics. Groups have been a huge success for Facebook (and a huge moderation problem, too), and they could be a particularly helpful tool on Twitter, since the service's open-ended nature can make it difficult for new users to get started on the platform.Tighe - Some people were trending #riptwitter when this news came out. Do you think a monetization option is a bad idea here?https://www.theverge.com/2021/2/22/22296209/elon-musk-starlink-speeds-double-2021From the vergeStarlink, SpaceX's satellite-based internet provider, will double in speed “later this year”, according to a tweet by Elon Musk, posted as a reply to someone who had just received their Starlink beta kit (via CNET). The company currently promises speeds between 50 to 150Mbps, and Musk specifically calls out a 300Mbps goal in his tweet.While 300Mbps isn't unheard-of speed, it's faster than many people currently have access to, especially in the low-to-medium population density areas that Musk talks about targeting in a second tweet.In the reply, Elon also tells the person that their latency should improve to around 20ms as well. In the speed test screenshots, their latency was at 34 and 44ms respectively, while Starlink's website says to expect between 20 and 40ms during the beta.The speed increase and latency improvements should come as a nice surprise to anyone who put down a $100 Starlink pre-order. However, it's well known that Elon's promises about the future should be taken with a grain of salt, especially if they're about timelines. Still, this shows that SpaceX is looking to speed up Starlink, and it might be able to keep pace with what's available from a copper wire running to your house.Stump - In an area like ours where we only have 1 choice for internet do you think this service will make a good competitor?Entertainment NewsSpider-Man 3 Title Officially Revealed: No Way Home - Screen RantLastly from screenrantSpider-Man 3 is officially titled Spider-Man: No Way Home. Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment's collaboration on the web-slinging hero has come a long way since it first started in 2015. It was followed by Tom Holland's Peter Parker debuting in Captain America: Civil War and since then, he's appeared in a Marvel Cinematic Universe film every year. That includes two solo movies, as well as two Avengers projects. Now, the character will embark on another standalone adventure.Not much is known about the plot details for Spider-Man 3 as of now, but it sounds like it's shaping to be one of the most interesting projects in MCU Phase 4. While Holland and other filmmakers have been mum about narrative specifics, they've been hyping the project as they're currently in the middle of production. Several set images have also made their way online, giving an idea about what to expect from the blockbuster. More recently, Marvel Studios and Sony Pictures Entertainment have started marketing the film with the release of the first look on the movie, as well as some fake titles just to troll the public.It's also exciting to finally know the movie's title, especially after the many fake outs. Audiences have been speculating about the sequel's name since it was first announced, with No Way Home even trending on Twitter just ahead of the reveal. Considering most assume the movie will focus on the multiverse, the title makes a lot of sense. It's entirely possible Holland's Spider-Man will find himself on a different world or in a different timeline, perhaps aided by Tobey Maguire or Andrew Garfield's Spider-Men. With so many rumors and reports already swirling about Spider-Man: No Way Home, the newly revealed title should only increase the speculation. Hopefully, more information will be revealed as the movie nears its release date later this year.Jeff - What are you looking forward to with this possible multi spidey crossover?Batman's next comic series is a Fortnite crossoverDC Comics and Fortnite developer Epic Games are joining forces on a new Batman and Fortnite-themed crossover comic book. The six-issue miniseries, titled Batman / Fortnite: Zero Point, will debut on April 20th. Two issues will then launch in both May and June before the series concludes with a final issue on July 6th.Longtime Fortnite fans might have perked up at the mention of the Zero Point, a reality-warping ball of energy that is hovering over the middle of the Fortnite island and is the catalyst for this season's many brand crossovers. (Just yesterday, Ellen Ripley and the Xenomorph from the Alien series were added to the game.) It seems the Zero Point will play a key role in this comic miniseries, according to this plot summary:“A crack splits the sky above Gotham City... a tear in reality itself. This rift pulls the Dark Knight into a bizarre and unfamiliar world, with no memory of who he is or where he came from...Batman has been drawn into Fortnite!As he fights to recall his past and escape an endless loop of chaos and struggle, he'll come face-to-face with the likes of Renegade Raider, Fishstick, Bandolier, and more. While the world's greatest detective strives to make sense of this strange new world, he'll uncover the shocking truth about the Island, what lies beyond the Loop, and how everything is connected to the mysterious Zero Point.”Print issues will have codes for DC-themed in-game Fortnite items inspired by the comic, and US subscribers to the DC Universe Infinite app will get the full series and codes for the in-game items for free.Tighe - As someone who is not a fan of Fortnite how does this make you feel?https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2563302/dcs-blue-beetle-movie-just-took-a-major-step-forward?pv=related_list Lastly, He may be a lesser known character but he is definitely an interesting one and one that this host looks forward to seeing on the big screen.From cinemablendIt's still a mystery as to how the DC Comics universe will move forward with an overall plan of action. With both the Aquaman and Wonder Woman franchises acting as holdovers from the originally planned DC Extended Universe, there's room for new heroes like Blue Beetle to join in on the fun. And now, the long-planned film adaptation of Jaime Reyes's antics has just taken a major step forward, landing Angel Manuel Soto as its director.This information was reported by The Wrap, as movement on the Blue Beetle solo film has made that momentous leap into action. Soto's work as a director could recently be seen with the HBO Max original Charm City Kings, and now that film has helped catapult him into a prime directing gig on this Warner Bros / DC Comics project. Rounding out the team of talent crafting this new story is writer Gareth Dunnet-Alcocer, whose previous projects include the still developing remake of Scarface.Here's the part where the usual caveats come in, so grab some snacks and a drink, because it's time to temper those expectations. Blue Beetle currently has no plot details, no casting information, and no intended release date in mind for its finished product to debut. However, we do have a new clue as to when we can expect everything to fall into place, as this report states that Blue Beetle is supposed to go into production at some point this fall.And, of course, DC Comics fans are probably wondering if Booster Gold will somehow play a part of the proceedings. It's a fair consideration, as he's typically associated with the Blue Beetle series, and the two have teamed up in the past.Which brings us to another question when it comes to Blue Beetle's ultimate endgame: what side of the DC Comics Tone Spectrum will the movie land? Is Blue Beetle better suited as a super serious origin story that brings Jaime's origins into dramatic life? Or, with his association with Booster Gold, does that mean that Mr. Reyes would be better fit to make a funnier, lighthearted adventure?Stump - I am a little sad we wont get Ted Kord as blue beetle.

Other streamers have been doing this trend since 2017 and making money, although not as much as Andy. Apparently, allowing people to interrupt your sleep in comedic ways is very popular streaming content.Symph: If this sort of stream can take off what other antics do you think we can monetize?Twitch streamer banned: video appears to show him yell at toddler, dogThe internet is forever kids. Every dumb thing you say and do online will follow you. One streamer is going to be learning that the hard way.From insiderTwitch streamer KillaMfCam has been banned from the platform after a clip of him appearing to scream at his dog and child on stream went viral. The small streamer, whose Twitter banner reads "Aspiring gamer, single father of a beatiful [sic] 3yr old" had his account taken down hours after the clip circulated online.On Monday, YouTuber Frizzable tuned into KillaMfCam's stream after just killing the streamer in Escape from Tarkov, a survival shooter.  The 21-year-old posted a two-minute edited clip of what he saw on stream as well as linking the full recording, so viewers could make up their minds for themselves.After being defeated, KillaMfCam got up out of his chair and started yelling at something off-camera. After a string of expletives at a screaming child The clip ends with the streamer saying "I'm going to break your f--- neck dude."As the original tweet started to become more popular, calls for KillaMfCam to get banned from Twitch started to gain traction. On Tuesday, his account was suspended on the platform, though it's unclear if it is permanent. A representative for Twitch told Insider, "We do not tolerate threats of violence on Twitch, and consider these zero-tolerance violations. We take swift action to indefinitely suspend accounts associated with these activities when they are reported to us."Stump: Do you think Twitch has a responsibility to report something like this to authorities?Twitch and Facebook Gaming set record highs in JanuaryIn our first story, Just exactly how big can the streaming industry grow? Will the growth keep reaching new heights? It did last month.From gameindustry.bizLive streaming continues to grow, as the latest report from StreamElements and analytics partner Rainmaker.gg (formerly Arsenal.gg) says Twitch and Facebook Gaming both more than doubled the numbers of hours watched in January 2021 compared to January of 2020.StreamElements says Twitch and Facebook Gaming saw a 117% increase year-over-year in January 2021, with Twitch's all-time high reached at over 2 billion hours and Facebook Gaming exceeding 439 million hours.On Twitch, the Just Chatting category led with 242 million hours watched, followed by survival game Rust at 189 million and League of Legends at third place with 163 million.These numbers top those from a record-setting month in December, when Twitch accumulated 1.7 billion hours watched and Facebook Gaming picked up 388 million hours.Tighe: How high can we go from here? At what point does traditional media take a back seat to new media like streaming?Tech/Gaming NewsNvidia is nerfing its new RTX 3060 for Ethereum cryptocurrency miningLooking for a new Nvidia 3060 video card? Well this one might not be exactly what you are looking for.Nvidia is purposefully making its new RTX 3060 graphics cards less efficient to mine Ethereum cryptocurrency. New drivers that will accompany the release of the GPUs later this month will reduce the hash rate of Ethereum mining by around 50 percent, using software detection for cryptocurrency mining.It's clear Nvidia is making the changes to try to help with the availability of its GeForce products. Nvidia is offering a new Cryptocurrency Mining Processor (CMP) for Ethereum miners instead. These will include the best performance for mining and efficiency, but they won't handle graphics at all. Nvidia says these CMP products, crucially, “don't impact the availability of GeForce GPUs to gamers.”The CMP products won't have display inputs so they can be more densely packed into systems designed for mining. Nvidia is also ensuring CMPs have lower peak core voltage and frequency to improve the big power requirements associated with Ethereum mining. “With CMP, we can help miners build the most efficient data centers while preserving GeForce RTX GPUs for gamers,” says Wuebbling.Symph: Is this just a pr stunt by nvidia to show they are making an effort to help with the availability of gpus?Renowned GameStop investor 'Roaring Kitty' hit with a securities-fraud lawsuit over his role in the stock's epic surgeSecondly, The mania over the Wallstreetbets stock frenzy over gamestop doesn't seem to want to come to an end. One of the leaders of the movement RoaringKitty is not the target of a lawsuit.More from business insider,Keith Gill, who goes by RoaringKitty on Twitter and YouTube, was hit with a securities-fraud lawsuit over his role in the rise of GameStop stock, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.Gill gained a following as he documented his "YOLO" trade in GameStop on Reddit's Wall Street Bets forum for more than a year. He invested $53,000 in GameStop stock and call options in June 2019. The value of those securities peaked at about $48 million during GameStop's epic short squeeze last month.Gill was named in a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in Massachusetts on Tuesday alleging that he misrepresented himself as an amateur investor when in reality he was a licensed securities professional, Bloomberg reported. The suit also alleged that Gill profited from GameStop's rise by artificially inflating the price of the stock."Gill's deceitful and manipulative conduct not only violated numerous industry regulations and rules, but also various securities laws by undermining the integrity of the market for GameStop shares," the lawsuit said, according to Bloomberg.Gill and the CEOs of Robinhood, Reddit, Melvin Capital, and Citadel are set to testify before Congress on Thursday about the GameStop saga.Tighe: Even though he is a finance professional Gill is one man. How do you feel about lawsuits going after the “little guy” for finding an opening in the system?Amazon's MMO New World gets a third delay and updated beta detailsNext up more woes for video game developers in 2021 as Amazons new MMO New world gets another delay.Gamesradar has this to sayAmazon Game Studios has delayed its upcoming MMORPG New World once again, this time pushing it to August 31, 2021.New World was previously delayed from May to August 2020, and it was more recently pushed to spring 2021. Compared to its second delay, this move to August 31 is comparatively small. Amazon is also speaking in more specific terms with regards to dates and time frames, so while this isn't necessarily the game's final delay, it seems that New World is coming into some form."We've been hard at work on compelling end-game features we believe are important to include at launch," a development update explains. "These features won't be ready for the spring timeframe that we had communicated."Many of these newly added features will be available in the New World closed beta test, which is now scheduled to launch on July 20.Stump: Should studios  just stop making promises they clearly cant keep?Entertainment News'Mortal Kombat' Movie Trailer: First Look at the Bloody New MovieFINISH HIM! The new mortal Kombat trailer is out. Here is what the thrillist had to say.One moment in the new Mortal Kombat trailer perhaps tells you all you need to know about what kind of violent, over-the-top movie this is going to be. The warrior known as Sub-Zero (Joe Taslim) stabs someone with his ice knife, and then, using his freezing powers, makes a second knife from the blood that spurts from that first wound. Yes, it's pretty gnarly.The latest attempt to bring the iconic video game to the big screen is directed by first time feature director Simon McQuoid, best known previously for his work on commercials. (The first adaptation, directed by Paul W. S. Anderson in 1995, remains a ridiculous, difficult to top cult classic.) The plot, as far as we can tell, centers around an MMA fighter named Cole (Lewis Tan), who assembles a team of superhumans to enter into a fighting tournament to stop an impending apocalypse. But really you're in it to see the brutal fatalities, right? Well, they are there. As is that key catchphrase, "Finish him!"Mortal Kombat, being a Warner Bros. release, is hitting theaters and HBO Max April 16.Symphonic: Was this a title you played as a kid or is this only exciting for us boomers?HBO Max Is Developing A Constantine Reboot With JJ AbramsConstantine is hardly DC's highest-profile character, but he's apparently one of the most adaptable; HBO Max is prepping a new series for the character in partnership with J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot production company, according to a report from Deadline.The series will focus on a slightly younger version of John Constantine, the lead character from the Hellblazer comics. The creators are apparently looking for a non-white actor for the role. According to the report, the show will focus on the comic's horror roots more than the religious focus that previous incarnations have generally focused on. Newcomer Guy Bolton is writing the pilot script, and the series will reportedly connect to HBO Max's planned Justice League Dark, which Abrams is also producing.DC previously preferred to keep its live-action incarnations to one actor playing one character, but the success of the CW's The Flash weakened that resolve, and the on-screen appearances of three different Barry Allen Flashes and three Supermen for the CW's Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover all but shattered it.The show is in the early stages of planning, so we don't know when it'll premiere, but when it does it will join HBO Max's growing list of dark DC Comics shows alongside the likes of James Gunn's Peacemaker, Justice League Dark, and DC Universe shows Doom Patrol and Titans, along with more traditional superhero fare like the announced Green Lantern show..Stump: With now 2 constantines on the horizon which do you think will be the bigger hit?Looks Like Robert Pattinson's The Batman Has Experienced Another COVID-Related SetbackRobert Pattinson's stunt double on The Batman recently tested positive for COVID-19, according to The Sun. As a result, the stuntman and his team were forced to isolate for ten days. This marks the third time The Batman has had to contend with a positive COVID case on set. Last year, Robert Pattinson himself reportedly tested positive as did another member of the movie's stunt team. Pattinson's diagnosis came shortly after the film restarted production in the UK following the initial pandemic lockdown.As you can imagine, this latest case of COVID can't be easy for Matt Reeves and Warner Bros. to deal with. A source tells The Sun that although the studio's testing methods are proving to be effective, having the lead stuntman and his team away from set is a reportedly “a headache” for Warner Bros.Despite this, it actually seems the film's production timeline won't be too heavily affected by this new development. The source did go on to say that filming is still set to wrap on time: The Batman is currently scheduled to hit theaters on March 4, 2022.Tighe: As with video games should movies alter their release schedules or just stop hyping things so early?BOLD PREDICTIONSRoaringkitty will not lose the court case or cases pending against him.Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etcDon't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The Screen actors Guild will soon accept influencers into their halls.From Kotakua SAG-AFTRA rep explained that the new agreement will officially designate “influencer-generated branded content” as advertising, which means influencers who create it will qualify for opportunities to earn union income, as well as health and pension benefits. Notably, this will only extend to video ads—not still images—but videos can be as brief as an Instagram story or a TikTok. The content also must be posted to a creator's social media channels, so appearing in commercials for a company does not fall under the terms of this agreement (SAG-AFTRA has a separate agreement for commercials).Previously, SAG-AFTRA extended protections to some YouTubers' brand deals, but the new agreement will cover basically every platform: Twitch, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and so on. In a statement to Backstage, SAG-AFTRA president Gabrielle Carteris said the goal is to “support both current and future SAG-AFTRA members in this space and for them to be able to access the benefits of union coverage.”Some creators are worried about hypothetical situations in which, say, they want to collaborate with a particular YouTuber or streamer, only to find out that they're not union-affiliated, putting the kibosh on the whole arrangement. And of course, union members have to pay dues, which may represent a high barrier to entry for smaller creators who are already working day jobs to make ends meet.Deviant - What changes do you see coming to the content creation realm as a result of this?https://win.gg/news/71410/twitch%27s-purple-screen-of-death-is-now-showing-up-in-gameThe twitch Purple screen of death is still rearing its ugly head and has somehow become even more of an annoyance.From win.ggPlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds recently faced some complications due to Twitch's newly implemented anti-adblock measure. Like many similar tournaments, the PUBG Invitational had a stream of the tournament embedded into the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds game client. But Twitch's Purple Screen of Death continued to pop up instead, a bad look for both the game and for Twitch.Esports insider Rod "Slasher" Breslau was one of the first to report the frustrating new development. He noted that it was probably "not great for the user experience."Slasher added that the PUBG Invitational wasn't the only event being affected by Twitch's continued fight against ad blockers. MultiTwitch, Team Liquid, HLTV, Juked, individual streamer platforms, the home screens of popular esports titles, and charity websites were all getting negatively impacted by the Purple Screen of Death. All so Twitch "can make a little more ad money," Slasher said.Ben Goldhaber, Twitch's former senior manager of partnerships and gaming outreach manager, has even spoken out against his former company's anti-adblock campaign. He said on Twitter that the Purple Screen of Death has evolved to impact almost every Twitch embed "everywhere, regardless of where you are viewing them and regardless if you use adblock."Goldhaber added that the Purple Screen of Death would just be an inconvenience if it showed up for only the first 30 seconds. But it pops up "every 15 minutes," interrupting big battles on stream and other hype moments during esports coverage and similarly intense streaming sessions. The disruption of PUBG's Invitational is one prominent and concerning example of this new trend.Tofu -Twitch is dominating the Esports scene right now and this could seemingly really hurt them. What do you think Twitch is thinking here?https://www.vpncompare.co.uk/twitch-banning-vpn-users/In our first story, Not only does Twitch overtly ban users with no explanation and block the use of 3rd party sites, they now appear to be shadow banning accounts that use VPN's to connect to the service.From our storyAs first reported by Win.gg, while the use of VPNs might have been frowned upon by Twitch in circumstances like circumventing govt blocks or IP bans, they have, to date, not made any efforts to block VPN users.But now this seems to have changed.So, what exactly have Twitch users been having problems with?It all comes down to the live chat feature that runs alongside Twitch streams. Users watching the stream can comment on what they are seeing and interact with both the players and other viewers.This chat feature usually works like any other live chat. But VPN users have noticed that their contributions are not receiving responses from other users.A bit of amateur sleuthing seems to have determined that while their chat contributions have been appearing in the chat on their own screens, they have not been showing up in the chat streams of other Twitch users.Hopefully, Twitch will come clean over what is happening and there is no doubt that pressure from their users is growing.It is still a good idea to use a VPN with Twitch, but if you want to make use of their live chat feature when watching streams, it is worth double-checking that your messages are still getting through.Stump - What reasoning could they have for intentionally doing this?Tech/Gaming NewsHuman or computer generated? Epic Games unveils 'MetaHumans'Lastly, More news from the realm of the unreal. This time it's not robots taking over, yet, but our online avatars have gotten an upgrade for when those robots decide to put us in the matrix.From our pieceEpic Games is taking another step forward in creating digital human images that appear like the real us. On Wednesday Epic unveiled “MetaHumans” through its Unreal video game development engineIn a “sneak peak,” Epic says users can create “high-fidelity digital humans.”The tool is called MetaHuman Creator, and Epic says it can “empower anyone to create a bespoke photorealistic digital human, fully rigged and complete with hair and clothing, in a matter of minutes.”The new development comes after Epic acquired real-time facial animation technology startup Hyprsense last November. Hyprsense says its technology will give “Unreal Engine creators the ability to deploy and drive the most advanced character assets, on any platform.”Achieving “photo realism” was a stated goal of Epic when it unveiled a new version of the Unreal engine last year.Deviant - What sort of implications do you think this has not only on gaming or streaming but other facets of our digital existence?Cyberpunk 2077 studio's hacked data has reportedly been soldThe CDRP hacking scandal rages on in our next story from the verge.Hackers have reportedly sold the game source code and other information stolen from Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 studio CD Projekt Red (CDPR). Cybersecurity firm Kela released screenshots of a post on the hacking forum Exploit allegedly posted by the attackers, saying that they've received an offer for the data from outside the forum. They added that they ended the auction at the request of the buyer. Cybersecurity Twitter account vx-underground subsequently confirmed that the auction had closed.It is not known who purchased the data or how much it was sold for. However, the auction was thought to have included source code for Thronebreaker: The Witcher Tales spinoff, The Witcher 3, a ray-traced version of The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, and copies of the company's internal documents. That's according to screenshots posted by vx-underground. The auction followed a leak of the source code for CD Projekt Red's virtual card game Gwent, which was verified by Vice.Kela previously reported that the starting price for the auction was $1 million, with a buy-it-now price of $7 million. These terms were subsequently verified by vx-underground, too.Although the hackers have not been officially named, one security researcher told Wired he believed it involved the use of the HelloKitty ransomware, which had also been used to hack a Brazilian power company called CEMIG.Tofu - Who is your guess for who would want to buy this source code?Clearview's facial recognition tech is illegal mass surveillance, Canada privacy commissioners sayFirst, unlike John Cena they can see you and are you using ai to record  and store your features.From the vergeClearview AI's facial recognition amounts to mass surveillance and the company should delete the faces of Canadians from its database, Canada's privacy commissioners said Wednesday.Commissioner Daniel Therrien said what Clearview does — scraping photos from social media and other public sites for use by law enforcement — is “illegal” and creates a system that “inflicts broad-based harm on all members of society, who find themselves continually in a police lineup.”The commissioners released a report that follows a yearlong investigation by several Canadian privacy agencies into Clearview's practices, which found the company had collected highly sensitive biometric information without consent and that it “used and disclosed Canadians' personal information for inappropriate purposes.”According to the investigators, the company maintains that Canada's privacy laws don't apply to Clearview since it does not have a “real and substantial connection” to the country, and that consent from individuals was not required because the information it collected was publicly available.“The Federal Court of Appeal has previously ruled in the privacy context that publicly available information means exactly what it says: ‘available or accessible by the citizenry at large.' There is no reason to apply a different standard here,” Mitchell said.Use of Clearview AI's facial recognition among law enforcement spiked 26 percent on January 7th, one day after a mob of rioters attacked the US Capitol, with several police departments using Clearview software to assist the FBI with identifying the rioters. Clearview also has contracts with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security.Stump - When you think about this tech and the fact that deep fakes are getting more real with tech like metahumans, will this be a viable means of evidence after a while?Entertainment NewsThe Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal will play Joel in HBO's The Last of Us TV show - https://gamerant.com/jack-black-claptrap-borderlands-movie/ Casting of some of the big Video game Series and movies has ramped up over the last several days.Pedro Pascal, who you might recognize as The Mandalorian himself, has been cast as Joel in HBO's TV adaptation of The Last of Us, as first reported by Deadline. The casting was confirmed shortly after by The Last of Us creative director (and an executive producer and writer for the show) Neil Druckmann.Pascal's confirmed casting comes just hours after the news that Bella Ramsey, who played the fan-favorite ruler Lyanna Mormont in Game of Thrones, will play Ellie, Joel's surrogate daughter.Also, The Borderlands movie had a major role if not its biggest role cast today.Coming off the heels of Jaimie-Lee Curtis joining the film,  Actor and Jumanji star Jack Black has been cast into the role of Claptrap for the upcoming adaptation of the hit video game franchise, marking the latest addition to the ambitious sci-fi comedy.The news comes from The Hollywood Reporter, who confirmed the casting choice.  Jack Black will star as the infamous robot with a wild mouth, Claptrap, a comedic companion for the Vault Hunters of Borderlands. Claptrap has been long considered an icon of the Borderlands franchise, known for his absurd humor and wild antics. Claptrap was first introduced in the first Borderlands game in 2009, and has since had a major role in every Borderlands game since, including being a playable character in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.Tofu - Do you worry that too much focus is being put on celeb casting in these movies vs putting out a good story?Bam Margera Says He's Been Cut from Jackass 4Bam Margera has urged fans to boycott Jackass 4 after he was allegedly cut from the movie.LADBible transcribed two videos that Margera posted on Instagram before they were seemingly deleted. In the videos, the Jackass prankster apparently claimed that Paramount had cut him from the upcoming fourth movie. He alleged that the studio forced multiple breathalyzer tests on him, as well as requesting urine samples and filming him take anti-depressants, per the report."Who the f**k cares if I'm drunk as hell anymore? Jackass has put me through hell on f**king wheels for a year-and-a-half," Margera reportedly said. "I wrote them so many ideas, and if I'm not in the movie and they use my ideas, how do you think that will make me feel? The last thing I want to do is be in a courtroom with [director] Jeff Tremaine, I love him. But f**k, man, I'm not in Jackass 4? If anybody cares about me, don't go see their movie, because I will make mine way f**king radder if you just Venmo me a dollar."Later, Margera stated that he was feeling a lot of "pain" because Jackass was "everything" to him. He then implored people to support him in creating his own production to rival Jackass 4, saying, "If anybody cares about me at all, then throw me a f**king bone and send a dollar to this Venmo and the more you send, the radder s*** we can do, and I give everyone f**king credit for it. Like, I can't compete with their $10m, ladies and gentlemen, but if I had that, I would blow them out of the f**king water."Deviant - Do you think it's fair for them to just cut him from the franchise that he built?Playing With Power: The Nintendo Story to Premiere on Crackle in March 2021Playing with Power: The Nintendo Story, a five-part documentary series, will premiere on Crackle on March 1, 2021.As reported by Deadline, this new docuseries is written and directed by Video Games: The Movie's Jeremy Snead and executive produced and narrated by The Lord of the Rings' Sean Astin.The Nintendo Story will feature interviews from Wil Wheaton, Alison Haislip, Nintendo of America co-founder Ron Judy, Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell, former Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske, former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, and the head of Xbox Phil Spencer.Astin discussed how chronicling the century-plus history of Nintendo was an "ambitious goal", but "little by little, over four years, the series really came together. I think we've created a five-episode journey that will open up the world of video games and this legendary company in a way that most people have never seen.”Stump - Lets hope Nintendo doesn't get wind of this and sue someone.BOLD PREDICTIONSPlug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etcDon't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

He tweeted: “If that account manager was given the clip, he could have shown it to Ziqo. Ziqo could have said, ‘No, I didn't say that. I said this.' Problem solved.”Of course, in his role with the Twitch advisory council, fans will be hoping this means more positive changes to how bans are handled, especially with situations such as Ziqo's that seem to confuse just about everyone.Rogue- Do you think anything will become of someone like Cohh speaking out about the lack of sensible reaction by twitch on bans?Twitch slammed for failing to moderate their own channel's chatEverytime Twitch seems to make steps in the right direction they turn right around and step in it. They are once again facing backlash over TOS and chatting on the platform..From Dexerto -As part of Twitch's celebration of its community, on January 23 it held a Participation Awards to commemorate the work of their streamers and the community.The stream focused on using Twitch chat as a direct medium between the hosts and viewers. But, as the event was running, some, including partnered streamers, criticized Twitch for ineffectively moderating the messages in chat.This wasn't the only debacle from the stream. It turns out that one of the awards was inadvertently handed out to a bot account, rather than a real person.It's been a turbulent few days for the platform, as users condemned their decision to ban a 15-year-old streamer with 90,000 followers because he had made his account when he was under 13. Meanwhile, other top streamers on the platform who also made their account when under 13 have gone unpunished.Tyranizam - How does this happen? A platform that is constantly blasted for how they handle others who have things happen like this.G4 returns today on YouTube and TwitchAhead of its return later this year, G4 will air a new series called B4G4 on YouTube and Twitch. It starts streaming today (Friday, January 29th). Among other content, the series will feature comedy sketches, game reviews and music parodies, with fans getting the chance to submit their own work to the show through the G4 Reddit community. It's also one of the ways those same fans can take part in G4's online search for hosting and writing talent.G4 provided an initial look at the show in a short clip it shared on its social media channels. “It's a bit of work in progress, but that's the point,” says G4 “CEO” Jerry XL (played by YouTube sketch comedian Gus Johnson) of B4G4. “Tell us what you hate. Tell us what you love. Tell us what you'd be willing to spend your discretionary income on.”The announcement comes one day after G4 confirmed both Attack of the Show! and X-Play will return when the network officially relaunches this summer. G4 first started teasing its return last summer but has so far said little about where you'll be able to watch all of its shows. With its ties to NBCUniversal, there's been some speculation its content could land on Peacock.Stump - I am stoked about this what do you want to see from a network dedicated to our industryTech/Gaming NewsXbox Game Pass subscribers hit 18 millionIn this day and age we are subscription to death. We have to consider which subscription streaming service has the best library for us and also which razer company has the smoothest shave. Microsoft however is separating itself from the pack when it comes to subscription services.From the vergeMicrosoft is continuing to attract people to its Xbox Game Pass service. The “Netflix for video games” service now has 18 million subscribers, up from the 15 million previously reported in September. Xbox Game Pass is a subscription service that offers access to a growing selection of more than 100 Xbox games for $9.99 per month.Microsoft has been pushing Xbox Game Pass for more than a year now, and it's clear the company is heavily invested in its future. Bungie's Destiny 2 title appeared on Xbox Game Pass late last year, and Control is also available on the service for both Xbox and PC.On an earnings call today, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also revealed that Xbox Live has more than 100 million monthly active users. Nadella also said the launch of the Xbox Series X and S was the most successful in Microsoft's history, with “the most devices ever sold in a launch month.”There have also been a variety of promotions designed to entice consumers into Xbox Game Pass. Microsoft regularly offers the first month of the service for $1 and has been incentivizing Xbox Live Gold customers to switch over to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, which includes the company's new xCloud game streaming feature.Rogue - How long until Xbox purchases or merges with someone like netflix or HULU?Sophia the Robot Creators Announce Plan to Mass-Produce Robots This YearWe have been heralding the rise of the machines for sometime here on TableOC. This would seem to be a major step in that front .From IGNSophia the Robot and three other models from Hanson Robotics will go into mass production this year and are expected to begin rolling out of factories in the first half of 2021.This news comes by way of a new report from Reuters after a tour through Hanson Robotics' Hong Kong factory conducted by Sophia the Robot, whom you might recognize as the viral robot from years ago that was granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia back in 2017.Hanson Robotics believes now to be a better time than ever to roll out these robots as they can help not only the healthcare sectors of the world, but the retail and airline industries as well.Reuters noted that according to the International Federation of Robots, worldwide sales of professional-service robots jumped up 32% to $11.2 billion from 2018 to 2019. Those numbers have likely risen during the current COVID-19 pandemic as robots are seen around the world helping in the healthcare sector and Hanson said he believes that in a world of COVID-19, more automation is needed to keep people safe.One of the robots Hanson Robotics is launching this year, Grace, has been created specifically for the healthcare sector.Tyranizam -  What sort of implications do you see coming with this sort of tech becoming mass produced?Timeline: GameStop's 1,600% surge in retail investor vs hedge fund battleShares of GameStop surged as much as 1,600% between Jan. 11 and Wednesday after an unprecedented stock market battle pitting amateur investors piling on the videogame retailer's shares against hedge funds scrambling to cover losing bets.The use of volatile call options, herd buying through social network Reddit, the involvement of Tesla's Elon Musk and a burst of copycat trades in an apparent speculative retail bubble have contributed to put low profile GameStop on the front page of financial news.The following are significant moments in the GameStop share price:Dec. 8, 2020: GameStop shares tank after company misses Wall Street estimates for quarterly revenue as pandemic-led store closures and intense competition from digital-game sellers hit sales.Jan 11: GameStop appoints Chewy.com founder and two other e-commerce veterans to its board in a deal with investor Ryan Cohen's RC Ventures, as it doubles down on digital salesJan 12: Short interest at 70.9 mln shares, down from 71.2 mln on Jan 8, per S3 Partners. Notional value of short bets rose to $1.4 bln from $1.3 bln, reflecting the rising stock priceJan 13: GameStops shares rise 57%, followed by another 27% jump the next day to $39.90. Its median target price among analysts is only $12.50.Jan 19: Short seller Citron Research takes aim. Tweets about GameStop, saying buyers at these levels are “the suckers at this poker game” and stock “back to $20 fast.”Jan 20: Citron Research delays negative report, says it does not want to go live with its report on the stockJan 22: Shares rise another 50%.Jan 25: GameStop stock soars as much 144% then settles up 18% with retail traders storming in to buy more.Jan 26: Elon Musk tweets "Gamestonk!!", along with a link to Reddit's Wallstreetbets stock trading discussion group, where supporters refer to the Tesla CEO as "Papa Musk." hereJan 26: Shares surge 92.7%. Top securities regulator in Massachusetts reportedly says trading in GameStop suggests there is something “systemically wrong” with the options trading.Jan 27: Melvin Capital and Citron closes the majority of their GameStop position at a lossStump - Do we now officially live in a meme economy? This has to scare many big companies, not just wall street firms. Imagine a hostile takeover of a company by a bunch of neckbeards on reddit.Entertainment NewsFirst Trailer For Tim Allen And Richard Karn's New TV Show Is Basically Home Improvement Without The FamilyUGHHHHHH Tim Allen is back with his longtime cohort Al (Richard Karn and they are bringing us a brand new show that sounds like it will be a blast.From cinemablendFor fans of the '90s sitcom Home Improvement, 2021 is something of a banner year. Not only did Tim Allen deliver a baffling Last Man Standing crossover episode in which he portrayed both Tim Taylor and Mike Baxter, but the comedian also reteamed with former co-star Richard Karn for a brand new series with talented builders as its focus. First announced last year, History's Assembly Required released its first trailer, which feels like it could have been an ad for Home Improvement's in-show Tool Time.Both Tim Allen and Richard Karn serve as co-hosts for Assembly Required, and both are also executive produces behind the scenes. They'll be joined in hosting duties by DIY YouTube star April Wilkerson, who serves as the show's resident expert. We'll have to wait and see whether Wilkerson will become another foil for Allen's jokes, or if she'll join him in poking clever fun at Al...er, I mean Karn.The show will take place on the Set of Tool Time which Allen kept after the show wrapped.Assembly Required debuts on Tuesday, February 23, at 10:00 p.m. ET. on the history channel.Rogue - Was Home improvement a show that made the jump and were you even alive to remember it?Harry Potter TV Show Reportedly In Development For HBO MaxWhat isn't in the works at HBO. Last week we found out they were working on a second Game of thrones prequel  and now this.From the piece at screen rantA live-action Harry Potter show is reportedly in the works at HBO Max. Harry Potter became a bonafide phenomenon over the last few decades. The books, penned by J.K. Rowling, spawned eight films that directly adapted the novels. All together, the films grossed over $7 billion at the box office and have continued to be popular in syndication and at-home media.Like many established franchises, the possibilities are endless when it comes to a Harry Potter television series. The most obvious choice, and likely the one fans want the most, would be one that directly follows up the immensely popular films.A Harry Potter series would either have to follow the characters as they navigate their adult lives or it could explore the lives of their children, something Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, a play and sequel, already began to do.Tyranizam - What do you want from a Harry Potter series?Stump - What's the next movie franchise TV spinoff?

Also joining us for the first time since TableOC broke the story about his firing of long time producer Shane, TigheFighterX1Streaming NewsTwitch Streamer Average Harry Devastated After Being banned on TwitchAverage Harry has been going through a rough patch which started in October 2020. A video of Harry crying after being mocked by a bunch of strangers on live stream went viral. Since then, he has been steadily gaining a lot of followers. He applied to become a Twitch partner but his application was rejected when the streaming platform found out that Average Harry had created his account before he was 13 years old.Twitch has been very strict with enforcing age-related policies and Average Harry broke those rules. Since then, it appears he has been permanently banned after Twitch noticed some discrepancies in his account details and age. Harry has been understandably agitated with this decision as he roughly had around 90,000 followers on his account.OX - Do you think its fair for Twitch to retroactively enforce this rule? They have been glad to take money from his subs up until this point.Madden streamer Buckkerz seen screaming at child, breaking controllerOn Thursday night, a clip from Twitch streamer Buckkerz that showed him screaming at his young child after losing at a video game went viral.In the clip, Buckkerz (whose legal name hasn't been confirmed by Insider) can be seen playing "Madden 21" with his toddler son on his lap. After having his in-game throw intercepted, the streamer yells "god dam---" as he throws his controller down, breaking it. "F---ing $300 f---ing controller" he yells as the young child screams on camera."I'm about to go before I lose it," he says, placing the child down in a chair before screaming directly in its face "shut the f--- up!"His webcam then disappears and the stream cuts off.For a brief period, after the clip had hit Reddit, Buckkerz changed his Twitch channel name to "Imsorry1234556" before the channel was taken offline. It is unclear if the account was removed by the streamer or if it was banned by Twitch. Twitch did not respond for comment by publication time.Tighe- How should we as a community and Twitch itself deal with situations like this?Forsen faces more Twitch drama as classic emotes removed - GENERAL - NewsSoon after his return from a month-long ban, content creator Sebastian "Forsen" Fors is facing even more backlash on Twitch.Forsen told viewers last night that some of his classic emotes were being removed because the streaming platform felt they were potentially offensive. The removed emotes include ForsenTake, ForsenA, ForsenBreak, and ForsenDED. When used together, the four emotes spell out "stop streaming" and hint that zero people are watching.ForsenDED was possibly added so Forsen could annoy Byron "Reckful" Bernstein specifically. Reckful would often appear frustrated when his viewer count was lower than usual, so Forsen created the "zero viewership" emote just to mess with him. Reckful ended up banning the emote from his chatStump - It feels like this guy keeps coming up. Should we do something controversial to get some clout?Tech/Gaming News4. Microsoft Files Patent to Create Chatbots That Imitate Dead PeopleMicrosoft has finally pierced the veil, the thin line between life and death. Sounds like a lot of hocus pocus but they have found a way to communicate with the dead.From IGNMicrosoft has filed a patent that would allow the company to digitally revive deceased loved ones as chatbots, using the individual's personal information.The Independent reports that the tech giant has raised the possibility of creating an AI-based chatbot that would be built upon the profile of a person, which includes their "images, voice data, social media posts, electronic messages," among other types of personal information. It's understood that the chatbot would then be able to simulate human conversation through voice commands and/or text chats.Microsoft has taken the concept a step further by suggesting that a 2D or 3D model of a specific person could potentially be created, using "images and depth information, or video data" of an individual in order to build a chatbot that has the same characteristics and behaviour based on the digital output of a specific person.OX - Should Microsoft be playing God and creating personalities from others data?5.  Animal Crossing is getting an official makeup lineIn our first story, You can now wear the Nook Look. Animal crossing themed makeup is on the way.From the verge -Nintendo has announced that it's collaborating with cosmetics brand ColourPop on a makeup collection inspired by Animal Crossing: New Horizons. The collection looks to be relatively extensive, including four powder palettes that are themed after characters in the game. Obviously, Isabelle is fabulous enough that she doesn't have to share with anyone and gets her own.ColourPop is no stranger to pop culture collaborations. It has lines inspired by Disney princesses, The Mandalorian, and even Sailor Moon. The Animal Crossing venture won't even be the first collab it's done with a gaming brand, as there's also a Candy Land x ColourPop line.The makeup collection will launch on January 28th. Hopefully it doesn't have the stock issues that have plagued Nintendo recently.Tighe - Are we missing out here by not having a ToC makeup line? It seems like maybe this is a case of putting a brand on everything and anything.6. Snapchat Adds Public View Counts to its TikTok-Like 'Spotlight' FeedLast night on the podcast we spoke about instagram bringing back like counts and their implication on the platform. Well now another social media company is heading down that path as well.From the piece -Snapchat has taken another step towards making its TikTok-like 'Spotlight' feed more similar to TikTok, by adding public view counts on Spotlight clips.The view count is displayed at the lower left of screen, providing more context as to each video's popularity.But It's not exactly the same. On TikTok, the view count is displayed on the video thumbnail, not on the playback overlay itself. But clearly, Snap is looking to replicate the same display options where it canFor Snapchat, it's hard to tell whether its Spotlight feed, which it added back in November, will end up being a winner for the app. Snapchat remains hugely popular with younger users, and is a key connection tool for many in that cohort. But chasing trends has never been Snapchat's thing - in fact, it was the one making the trends up till now.Stump - What are your thoughts on this? How do you feel seeing the numbers truly affects people?

Now we can. From sportsrants- Amazon's Twitch most high profile teams, Twitch Rivals, have announced an official partnership with Samsung Electronics America on a one-year mobile gaming deal for a series of online competitions.According to Deadline, the Samsung Galaxy will exclusively host regular mobile gaming challenges and events. Their new partnership agreement was formalized during one of Twitch Rivals live twitch streams during CES. Twitch views the partnership will enable users to “fully engage in the unparalleled chat and interactivity that feeds the Twitch community” Lou Garate, global head of sponsorship sales at Twitch said. “As livestreaming and esports continue to grow exponentially, we look forward to working with Samsung to help the engaged and dedicated gaming audience access their Twitch Rivals content wherever and whenever they want it.”Oasis - This seems like an obvious step considering the popularity of mobile gaming. What are your thoughts on competitive candy crush? Minecraft Twitch Streamer Loses All His Followers at Once In our first strange piece of news, A streamer did something so offensive that he lost all his followers overnight. His offense! Streaming on twitch.From game rantNathan is a regular streamer on Twitch who mostly streams Minecraft. Over the course of two years, Nathan built up a respectable following streaming Minecraft that, while not equaling any of the titans of Twitch, is still a powerful thing to accomplish. Yesterday, on January 13, 2021, almost all of Nathan's Twitch followers vanished in the course of a single night.It should come as no surprise that Minecraft is a popular game to stream, since a streamer can take it in any direction. Dedication to a single project, exploration, or just fun activities for when a streamer or their chat is bored. All of these helped Nathan get to around 21,000 followers throughout the last two years. Then, one morning, Nathan awoke to discover that number had dropped to seven. The reason for this sudden follower loss is still unknown, but hopefully Twitch Support is looking into it. This is one of the more extreme manifestations of Twitch's technical problems, but certainly not the only one. Symphonic -  This almost seems worst than being botted. What should they do in a situation like this?Twitch is sending out personalized 2020 recap emails starting todayMany have been receiving these personalized recaps from twitch about their twitch habits. Although there have been many reports of users only getting one of the several recaps.  From dot esportsTwitch is in the process of sending out 2020 Twitch Recap emails today, full of details on what channels you watched, how long you watched them, what channels you subscribed to, and even what your favorite emote was.The email also includes your most-watched categories of the year, so you can know just how much time you spent in the Just Chatting section or flipping back and forth between multiple Among Us streams.If you haven't gotten a recap email yet, be patient. Twitch said they'll be rolling out throughout the day.Rogue -  did you have any issue getting your recap? Tech/Game/Social Media News4. Mario Kart is the most stress-inducing video game: Study Lastly, They must have been playing on rainbow road when they did this study. Mario kart has been named the most stress inducing video game.According to a study commissioned by BonusFinder, one of Nintendo's signature games, Mario Kart, was found to be the most stressful to play.The commissioned researchers worked with 14 competitive gamers to play 16 of the most popular and challenging games out there.While playing, the gamers' heart rates were also measured. While playing a 30-minute Mario Kart session, players experienced elevated heart rates by an average of 21 beats per minute (BPM), which is a 32.8% increase over resting rate.While Mario Kart generated the highest amount of stress among players, Dark Souls III (an action and role-playing game) contained moments that produced the largest heart rake spikes at 127 BPM during a boss fight with character Darkeater Midir.Viral multiplayer game Fall Guys produced the second-most heart rate spikes at 125 BPM, particularly when players competed in the final rounds and were close to winning.On the opposite end,  popular games such as Animal Crossing, The Sims and Skyrim lowered heart rates below their resting rates, according to the study.Symphonic - what would you guess is the most stressful game for you?5. Instagram's Testing an Option to Unhide Total Like Counts on Posts Cyber bullying is back. Just kidding but like counts on posts are making a comeback. MaybeFrom social media today- According to a new discovery by app researcher Alessandro Paluzzi, Instagram's currently testing a new option which would enable users to hide or unhide like counts on their posts.That would enable users to display their total like counts for each post once again, which Instagram removed for most users back in 2019 as part of an initiative to support audience wellbeing.The theory, at the time, was that by removing like counts on posts, that would reduce competition over vanity metrics, which would in-turn lessen social comparison, and its associated negative impacts.No data has been released to show how effective this was.Oasis - Do you think this is a positive change? 6. PewDiePie reveals why he's taking another break from YouTube As far as bad omens go this one couldn't be much worse. Much like at the beginning of 2020 Pewdiepie has announced he will be going on a content hiatus.From DexertoFans will have to go without his content again in 2021, as he announced on January 8 that he is taking another leave of absence from making videos. When will he back?PewDiePie made the announcement on January 8 in a community post on his channel. “I FORGOT TO MENTION A FEW THINGS! I'm taking some time off to chill, epic,” the entertainer wrote at the beginning of his update.Fans of YouTuber shouldn't be too surprised with his second break as Kjellberg told his community on numerous occasions that he planned on taking a second vacation in 2021. “I feel like it's fair. Any other job you get holidays and I don't do that. And this year has been pretty crazy. It's good for my mental health,” he explained in June.Fans will no doubt severely miss him. In 2020, his popular r/Pewdiepiesubmissions subreddit hilariously turned to chaos and made hilarious jokes about his absence from YouTube. If nothing else, we can look forward to the memes.Rogue - what will we do without PEWDS? Entertainment News7.  Clerks 3 Update: Kevin Smith Finishes First Draft He wasn't even supposed to be here today but he got work done any way. Kevin Smith has announced he is done the first draft of clerks 3.From the pieceIn a Facebook post published on Thursday, writer/director/pop culture enthusiast Kevin Smith revealed that he has "just finished" the first draft of Clerks 3. He also shared that he started writing on December 28, and that this is technically the second version of the film he's written, adding that he's "now very happy we never made" the previous version from six years ago.Smith also shares that while his own mortality was very much in mind for the script, he promises "this script to Clerks 3 makes me laugh out loud." He also credited the realities of living in quarantine and overall "the real world lately" were a major catalyst for Smith to hold still, sit down, and bang out a draft--noting that "the writing doesn't begin when you start tapping the keys: I've been stirring this stew in my brain pan for a while now."No release date for the film has yet been set, but Smith indicates he wants to "spend some of 2021… in New Jersey where it all began" Symph - What do you think about smith choosing to hold off on his original script?8. The Office Showrunner Says Revival is Now More Likely with Peacock Does your life need a little hopium in it? Well here is something to get your hopes up. The Office Showrunner Says Revival is Now More Likely with PeacockFrom geek feedWith the show coming to NBC's streaming service, Peacock, showrunner Greg Daniels has implied that a revival is now more likely.“I think it's probably more likely now the show's on Peacock, but no plans right now certainly. People are more open to it now, it seems. The issue is, what is left to be said about the characters. There's been some talk of maybe a Friends-style reunion kind of thing. I don't know. It's still kind of vague.”When asked what a reunion could be about, Daniels said that maybe they could just shoot something in the vein of a ‘lost episode' and just shoot it like it was still 2010. With a lot of The Office characters having moved on from Dunder Mifflin by the finale, it wouldn't make sense for all of them to still be together 10 years later.Oasis - what do you think of this strategy if they do decide to bring the show back?9.  Tom Cruise Reportedly Buys Robots to Enforce COVID Safety on Film Set What can you say about this next story other than I welcome our robot overlords After he was recorded shouting at film set employees for breaking COVID-19 restrictions, Tom Cruise has reportedly purchased two robots designed to patrol the set of Mission Impossible 7 when it resumes film next week, The Sun reports.The robots, which can reportedly administer on-the-spot COVID-19 tests, were purchased by Cruise. It's unclear what kind of robots they are, but The Sun cites a source who describes them as “really sophisticated and rather intimidating. It's like the Terminator only not as violent.”Cruise isn't the only person employing COVID-19 testing robots in Hollywood. CBS has reportedly expressed interest in renting or purchasing lab-certified disinfection bots used in more than 500 hospitals worldwide.Rogue -  Should the police employ these sort of robots or should we allow private Karens to buy them?BOLD PREDICTIONS  Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Don't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This time it's a 7 year old survival game called rust.From screen rantThe PC game has had a long development history; it released in early access back in 2013 and spent five years in that unfinished state before finally seeing a full release in 2018. Now that it's finally been completed, many are wondering what's next for the game. It had been planned for a console release last year, but after that was delayed, fans of the game are wondering when it might arrive on PS4 and PS5.Rust has been quietly scraping by for years now, but recently, it has seen a startling resurgence on Twitch. In recent days the obscure survival game topped the charts for most views on the streaming platform, beating out titans like Minecraft. At the time of this writing it's still sitting at a respectable second place, with 612k viewers to its name. The game owes this sudden resurgence to several big-name streamers who have suddenly expressed renewed interest in it thanks to content drops that are planned for January 7th.Symphonic - How do you think indie devs could better utilize twitch to promote their games?Multiple Twitch outages causing streams lags, chat malfunctions, moreStreaming giant twitch has had its hands full in the first few days of this new year just keeping its service up and running. From Dexerto.comSince mid December 2020 and into the new year, Twitch users have been reporting site errors from small hiccups to the site being entirely down at times. While these issues have been brief in duration, they've been affecting multiple people at the same time.“We are working to resolve the issues causing the site not loading correctly. Thank you for your patience,” the Twitch support page said on January 2. It had once again gone down for some people before picking back up again.This has been a recurring theme for the site. There's been three major occurrences in the last seven days that's been a focal point of discussion among the community.These errors come in light of reports of increased ads for people who use the uBlock Origin plugin and the prevailing notion is that these outages are the result of Twitch's ongoing fight against these programs.It should also be noted that the platform has been increasingly implementing new add ons and experimental features to Twitch which could also be affecting the performance of the site.Nikki - What are you making of these constant outages? It's not just twitch lately either. What do you think is going on?Twitch will change the face of PogChamp every 24 hours Twitch removed its popular PogChamp emote a couple of days ago after the person on which it was based — Ryan “Gootecks” Gutierrez — posted some tweets encouraging more mob violence after the riot at the Capitol. The spirit of PogChamp, however, will live on: today, Twitch announced that it would cycfacele through different versions of the emote every 24 hours, starting today.The reason PogChamp was popular was because it was the site's global hype emote: when anything cool happened on Twitch, you could be sure to see people pogging in the chat.Stump - Does the rotating Pog emote cheapen the emote or do you think it will make it more popular?Tech News4. Facebook ordered to pay $4.7M to Italian developer over copycat featureLike many great tech giants before them, facebook has stolen someone else's work. Not like this is the first time.From the VergeFacebook has been ordered to pay €3.83 million or $4.72 million in damages to an Italian developer over the social network's “Nearby” feature. Reuters reports that the Milan-based appeals court upheld a 2019 ruling saying Facebook had copied the feature from developer Business Competence's Faround app.The case dates back to 2012. That year, Business Competence launched Faround which was designed to help users find Facebook friends near their location. The app quickly gained ground in the Italian market, Reuters previously reported. However, just months later, Facebook launched its own Nearby feature, which also competed with the likes of Foursquare and Yelp, and downloads of Faround reportedly plummeted.The Italian software developer responded by filing a lawsuit in 2013, and Reuters reported that the court issued a preliminary ruling in its favor in 2016, which was made public in 2017. Facebook agreed to discontinue the feature in Italy while it appealed the ruling, but subsequent courts have sided with Business Competence.Nikki - Does this really do anything to FB? Clearly its not a lot of money for them.5. Nintendo Removes Hundreds of Fan Games With DMCA Takedown Despite what you might think, DMCA Rules aren't just for ruining your Twitch Stream. Sometimes they are used to stop people from creating fun games for you to play on your twitch stream. From the pieceFollowing a mass DMCA takedown order from Nintendo, 379  fan-made games have been removed from games hosting service Game Jolt, including many free-to-play titles.Game Jolt is a website that hosts free and commercial video games for download. Sometimes indie games are sold on the website alongside the Epic Games Store and Steam, while other times, gamers make fan-made follow-ups to their favorite titles such as Undertale. "The web site at gamejolt.com generates revenue from advertising banners displayed on the site and advertisements played while users wait for the games to load," Nintendo's statement says. "We would appreciate our expeditious removal of all infringing content."The company has a legal team specifically geared towards anti-piracy and copyright infringement that seeks out even hobbyists and indie developers "to give all legally-sold Nintendo games a chance to succeed," Nintendo's legal page states. In the past, Nintendo targeted Super Smash Bros. modders for tampering with its software with costume and skin mods.Symph - Could we be sued just for talking about this? Nintendo is aggressive with this sort of thing. Should streamers be worried?6. Minecraft Earth servers to close down this June Covid lockdowns have changed our way of life. This however may be the last straw.From gamesradar,Minecraft Earth, the alternate reality mobile game where players could recreate the feeling of playing Minecraft in the real world, will shut down at the end of June due to COVID-19.An official announcement on the Minecraft website reads "Minecraft Earth was designed around free movement and collaborative play – two things that have become near impossible in the current global situation. As a result, we have made the difficult decision to re-allocate our resources to other areas that provide value to the Minecraft community and to end support for Minecraft Earth in June 2021."Microsoft will cease all content and service support for Minecraft Earth on June 30 which means you won't be able to play or download the game any longer. It's certainly a bummer, and another reminder that we're still living through a global pandemic.Stump - Will you use this like me? As an excuse to why I cant go walk around outside and exercise?Entertainment News7. Dexter Revival Reveals Villain Casting and Plot Details Lastly, Details are now emerging on the casting for the upcoming Dexter Revival and I have to say I am now just a little bit more excited.From IGNShowtime's Dexter series revival has its villain, and it's none other than Mr. Krabs himself: Clancy Brown.Brown has had a strong career between film, television, and video game roles. IGN readers will recognize him as the voice of Spongebob Squarepant's Mr. Krabs, Detroit: Become Human's jaded detective Hank Anderson, as well as roles in The Shawshank Redemption, Highlander, and Starship Troopers. Brown will be joining Dexter star Michael C. Hall, who is reprising his role as the vigilante serial killer Dexter Morgan. Hall has previously stated that he's excited to return to the role after the original series' “unsatisfying” ending.Nikki - I know you are a fan of Dexter does adding an Icon like clancy brown to the mix get you excited for the comeback?8.Daily Crunch: Roku buys Quibi's content library If you're wondering what will happen to Quibi shows like “Most Dangerous Game” and “Chrissy Court,” wonder no longer: They're going to Roku.The streaming TV platform announced today that it has acquired the global rights to Quibi's content library, which it plans to bring to The Roku Channel, free and ad-supported, some this year. This includes “more than a dozen” shows that never got a chance to stream on Quibi before the app shut down.“The most creative and imaginative minds in Hollywood created groundbreaking content for Quibi that exceeded our expectations,” said Quibi founder Jeffrey Katzenberg in a statement. “We are thrilled that these stories, from the surreal to the sublime, have found a new home on The Roku Channel.”Symph - This seems like a great way to add content to their growing channel and capitalize on some established brands. What do you think about this move?  9. ‘Doctor Who': BBC Refuses To Deny Report That Jodie Whittaker Is Quitting Sci-Fi SeriesFans of the popular Doctor who series have been struck by bad luck. The 13th Doctor is rumored to be leaving the show.From DeadlineThe BBC has declined to comment on a report that Jodie Whittaker is set to hang up her sonic screwdriver and quit as the 13th Doctor in the British broadcaster's iconic sci-fi series Doctor Who.The well-connected Nicola Methven wrote in the Daily Mirror that Whittaker's departure is being kept under wraps while filming on Season 13 continues. If she does exit the Tardis, it will be in keeping with her predecessors who also completed three seasons before moving on to other projects.Whittaker made history when she became the first female Doctor in 2017. She followed in the footsteps of Peter Capaldi, while other previous doctors include David Tennant, Matt Smith, and Christopher Eccleston.Stump - Do you think this is the end for 13?BOLD PREDICTIONS  Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Don't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

This time it's not Twitch in the mix but it does involve Twitch streamer xQc. He is in hot water on twitter over an older clip.From Game RantStreaming personality xQc is no stranger to bans. This year alone, the streamer has been banned twice, once from Twitch after stream sniping and another time for streaming an inappropriate game. But this time, his ban is from Twitter, and it seems to be a massive mistake.xQc has several clips from his own stream on his Twitter, taken from Twitch. These small samples of streams, which can be clipped from live streams, are usually only about 10 seconds long. xQc is not the only streamer with a few clips on other social media sites. When he got locked out of his Twitter for a DMCA complaint, he was surprised to find it was a clip of his own Twitch stream.Twitter sent a notice, claiming that a copyright complaint had been levied against his account for the clip, and that he had to review Twitter's copyright rules to remove the lockout.It is pretty obvious that, since the streamer was DMCA'd for content that old and from his own stream, that the process is not being very closely looked at by Twitter.Rogue  - At this point are platforms just looking for a reason to mess with this guy?  Forsen says he feels “unappreciated” after returning from Twitch suspension  Lastly, Exiled streamer Forsen is back and says he feels unappreciated after his return to twitch. Boo frickin Hoo.From Dexerto - Forsen rose to fame by competing professionally in StarCraft II and Hearthstone, and now is one of the biggest, most established channels on the site.That wasn't enough to save the Swedish streamer from catching an indefinite ban after he inadvertently showed a GIF that broke Twitch's Terms of Service and sent in by a viewer on stream.He's now returned and shared some thoughts on the suspension with viewers, and why he doesn't feel like his community gets the credit it deserves sometimes.“To sum it up, I feel a little underappreciated,” he told viewers. “You know, I might not have the most viewers, the most subscribers, or bring in the most ad money or whatever on this platform, but I do have like an aura effect, ok maybe aura isn't the best word.”“What I'm trying to say is that 9/10 good memes/inside jokes come from this community and spread to other communities,” the streamer argued. “So, other communities have more fun, right? And then those viewers stay on Twitch longer.”So Next time you have fun anywhere on twitch make sure you think of poor forsen. Stump - Do you think he has a point here or is he just whining for attention?  Twitch streamer goes viral after rogue mouse ruins Christmas dinner  Normally at Christmas, you'll see Twitch streamers taking a day off to enjoy the festivities and recharge after a long year of being in the public eye. This can provide less popular streamers the opportunity to showcase their talents to a wider audience, as viewers look for entertainment elsewhere. For Hollycannabis, who was probably expecting a chill stream and an opportunity to showcase her cooking skills, her relaxing Christmas Day stream was about to be ruined by a pesky rodent leaping from a kitchen drawer and into her oven.It wasn't going to be ratatouille for dinner, though. The mouse seemed to escape from the oven, as it wasn't in there when Holly went back to check. In fact, it seemed to disappear completely off the face of the earth, as it wasn't in the oven nor the drawer underneath.But then, five minutes after the initial trauma had subsided and armed with a pair of tongs, Holly summoned up the courage to investigate the draw under the oven again. The mouse had managed to hide underneath a baking tray, and immediately went dashing back under cover.Reba - We have a history on this show of seeing IRL streams go wrong. I'm not sure if getting robbed live on stream or having a mouse leap at you is worse. What do you think?Tech News Star Citizen is the $339 million game that still doesn't have a release date  Let's go on a journey together. Imagine people are upset over a game that has been in development for years and they are starting to feel lied to. Complaining they want the game to come out, they feel bamboozled, cheated and scammed. Nope not talking about Cyber punk from last year we are talking about the world most expensive game Star CitizenFrom yahoo news -When head developer Chris Roberts first announced Star Citizen in 2010 with a Kickstarter campaign, gamers were brimming with excitement. Tens of thousands of people eagerly backed the project, nine of whom pledged $10,000 while another 19 pledged $5,000.Star Citizen is now possibly the most expensive video game of all time. Most of its $339 million budget has been directly funded by pledgers and players. The lucrative funding prompted Cloud Imperium Games to announce Squadron 42 in 2015, a single-player companion to Star Citizen starring Hollywood stars such as Mark Hamill, Gary Oldman, Gillian Anderson and Mark Strong.But the Squadron 42 beta has been delayed yet again. After 10 years of being stuck in alpha development, irreverent and irate gamers are panning Star Citizen once again.I wont get into the details of their complaints but this is becoming a growing trend in the game industry. Stump - This may be a sore subject for you as I know you and I both have crowdfunded game makers that have gone belly up. Google's Wing warns new drone laws ‘may have unintended consequences' for privacy  If you watched our weekday update you may have heard about the new rules regarding drones and delivery drones in US airspace.Google (technically, Alphabet) isn't too happy about those new rules, as it turns out. The company's drone delivery subsidiary Wing wrote a somewhat fear mongering post (via Reuters) titled “Broadcast-Only Remote Identification of Drones May Have Unintended Consequences for American Consumers,” which argues that the FAA's decision to have drones broadcast their location might let observers track your movements, figuring out where you go, where you live, and where and when you receive packages, among other examples.“American communities would not accept this type of surveillance of their deliveries or taxi trips on the road. They should not accept it in the sky,” Wing argues.With that kind of language, you might think Wing is arguing that drones shouldn't broadcast their location, yes? Amusingly, no: the Alphabet subsidiary just wishes they'd send it through the internet instead of broadcasting it locally.Rogue - Seems a bit rich that the worlds biggest spy company is mad about spying. You have to thing they want it online for their own purposes don't you think?Think Amazon's Alexa is Hot? Sex Coach Says You Shouldn't Feel Weird If you've got a crush on Amazon's Alexa, you're not alone. Sex coach Sarrah Rose exclusively tells In Touch that it's actually not all that weird to find the virtual assistant hot — even if “her” physical form looks more like a computer speaker than a person. In fact, the New York Post reports that 28 percent of people are attracted to Alexa, but why is that? According to Rose, it's partially the way Alexa is designed and partially a natural human curiosity.“Right now, people are bored and wanting to experiment and try new things,” the sex coach explains. “It's not new for humans to anthropomorphize technology. In 1966, it was ELIZA [a chatbot designed to simulate human conversation] and today it's Alexa.” Even her name alone has a certain “sexy, no nonsense vibe” that lends itself to developing a little crush. And she's got a personality, too.“At the end of the day, times are trying right now,” Rose adds. “If crushing on Alexa makes [people] feel better, then they should enjoy themselves without feeling weird about it.” Just don't let Amazon's gadget “distract” you from “taking the steps necessary to have a life beyond [having] a machine to talk to.”Reba -  Is this the beginning of Robot/ai and human relationships developing to the next level?Entertainment News Ready Player Two Movie Adaptation In Early Stages, According to Author A movie adaptation of Ready Player Two is in early development according to author Ernest Cline. His original nostalgia-fueled novel was released in 2011 and it caught the attention of Steven Spielberg not too long after. Spielberg set his sites on directing a big-screen adaptation of Ready Player One, and it finally hit theaters in 2018. The movie received only moderately positive reviews but it became a decent box office success for Warner Bros, earning over $580 million worldwide.Cline is currently doing press for the release of Ready Player Two and that means addressing the status of the book becoming the inspiration for a sequel movie. During an interview with Inverse, Cline confirmed that development is underway on the sequel. It is in the early stages right now and has yet to be announced by the studio. But Cline seems to believe that most of the original team will return after having a good experience making Ready Player One. Here's his full quote:“It's in the early stages right now, especially since Hollywood is in limbo right now. But I can tell from the experience of making the first movie that everybody had a lot of fun.”Rogue are you excited for another installment of the series?Rome Is Renovating the ColosseumIn a possible giant facepalm move Rome has decided to renovate the Colosseum. Smithsonian magazine reported on the renovation, which Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities (or MiBACT) is funding. The Ministry is currently looking for engineers for the project, which it wants to initiate in 2021.“[The renovation] will be a major technological intervention that will offer visitors the opportunity to not only see the underground rooms…but also appreciate the beauty of the Colosseum while standing in the center of the arena,” Culture Minister Dario Franceschini said in a statement (via BBC News). The new flooring will also “allow the public to fully understand the use and function of this icon of the ancient world,” the statement added.As for the renovations of the Colosseum's floor, the aim is restore it faithfully, and update its functionality. The floor was originally made of wood and topped with sand, and covered the hypogeum; the network of underground tunnels beneath the arena's floor gladiators and other participants in the games and entertainment would use.The Ministry says the new floor will be able to move like the original, opening and closing above the hypogeum. While the floor originally opened and closed to release gladiators and wild animals, it will now open for tourists, and close for rain.STUMP - I am really nervous about this. We have seen some “restorations” of old paintings go horribly wrong the last few years. Do you think they should leave well enough alone? https://dailysoapdish.com/2021/01/tiktokers-charli-and-dixie-damelio-travel-during-pandemic/ When you are a celebrity, you will get backlash for pretty much everything that you do. One of these things is traveling during a pandemic. Just recently, TikTok stars Charli D'Amelio and Dixie D'Amelio traveled to the Bahamas for their holiday break. They aren't the only ones and their fans think that this was extremely irresponsible of them and their families.Charli, Dixie, Madi Monroe, Noah Beck, and Avani Gregg were just a few of the celebs to be seen at the resort all together. In almost every picture, there are no masks to be seen on the teenagers.Fans were incredibly upset to see the teenagers all together and traveling all over the country. California is still in the “safer at home” order and fans thought that their parents should have made the choice to keep these girls home, while the hospitals are all full or filling up again because of COVID-19.Reba -  We have seen celebrities, politicians and other influencers blatantly disregarding rules. Do you think this hurts their brand or will this just give more exposure to the stars?BOLD PREDICTIONS I dont know anything about video game laws, but in the coming year we will see new laws regarding the crowd funding of games that go nowhere. I dont know much about the writing process or creating things people want to watch but Ernest Kline like some other authors will continue writing works that they had finished for continued move deals. We will see a ready player next in 2025 or so. Yeah that first part was directed at J.K. Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Don't forget to check out the patreon.Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

It also includes stricter rules around sexual harassment and seems to give Twitch more leeway to ban streamers and commenters who make offensive comments.Rogue - Twitch has since sort of walked this back. Do you think this was a good or bad move? The latest OBS update includes support for stripping out audio from VODs on Twitch  Streamers everywhere are looking for solutions to the looming DMCA issue. This next fix is definitely a step in the right direction but is only one piece of the puzzle.From the vergeThe biggest change in this version of OBS is support for the feature that Twitch debuted in Twitch Soundtrack — the ability to play music in a second track while you're streaming to Twitch, so that it can be stripped out of your recorded broadcast, or VOD (video on demand).OBS pointed out that Twitch helped with the development of the feature, which is interesting because the company already has Soundtrack. I can only imagine it means that this is the latest front in Twitch's fight with the music industry — because if streamers get used to stripping music from their VODs as a general practice, the problem of people broadcasting copyrighted music on Twitch might eventually solve itself.Depending on how this integrates with twitch the music would technically still be there in the vods unless you are uploading the vod yourself. This also leaves the problem of live streaming the music in the first place which is a violation. Deviant- Do you think this will help with the DMCA issue?  https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/11/22169372/pokemon-cards-destroy-rare-sodapoppin-twitch-dark-raichu  Pokemon pack opening streams have become one of the hotter trends in the streaming realm in the past few months. Fans getting to get that little bit of excitement and endorphin rush of finding a rare card without spending the money themselves has proved to be a great attention getter. However, one of our favorite trolls is here to cash in on the trend in quite a different way.From polygon,On Thursday, Chance “sodapoppin” Morris streamed the unthinkable live on Twitch: He dunked rare Pokémon cards in lube. And that's not all — Morris also set plenty of cards on fire using a flamethrower, rolled cards in dirt, and blended cards in an effort to all-out destroy them.Nearly 100,000 concurrent viewers tuned in to watch the destruction at certain points; the archived stream has more than 1.2 million views.Where did Morris get all these cards, you ask? He bought them as part of a rare pack, worth thousands of dollars. There were plenty of duds within that pack, but they all faced the same fate: destruction.It's a practice that Morris himself has been critical of. “I got a lot of shit when when I played blackjack on stream because I was ‘promoting gambling to children,'” Morris said on stream in November. “And now Pokémon is big and everyone loves it. And now it's gambling but with, like, a kid-friendly label slapped on. Gambling, rated PG, for everyone. That's kinda how it feels.”Morris' Pokémon card destruction rally feels like a commentary on that — a cruel, cruel commentary for card collectors everywhere.Stump - How long until stuff like this gets marked as bullying by twitch?Tech News https://gizmodo.com/u-s-schools-are-buying-phone-hacking-tech-that-the-fbi-1845862393  In our first story, US public schools are now buying law enforcement grade spying devices to break into students phones.  Cellebrite, which is used by the FBI, has been purchased by administrations across the country to spy into students' personal devices if there is suspicion they may have done something wrong.From GizmodoWhile companies like Cellebrite have partnered with federal and local police for years, that the controversial equipment is also available for school district employees to search students' personal devices has gone relatively unnoticed—and serves as a frightening reminder of how technology originally developed for use by the military or intelligence services, ranging from blast-armored trucks designed for use in war zones to invasive surveillance tools, keeps trickling down to domestic police and even the institutions where our kids go to learn.Gizmodo analyzed a random sample of 5,000 public school or school district websites across the United States and found that eight district websites mention Cellebrite or another MDFT technology. Because our sample is a relatively small portion of the total number of high schools in the United States—and the ones that stood out did so because they published the purchases as line items in public budget reports—many other school districts may have access to this technology. The Fourth Amendment protects people in the United States from unreasonable government searches and seizures, including their cell phones. While a search without a warrant is generally considered unreasonable, the situation in schools is a little different.Cell phones are deeply personal items, and it's easy to imagine how embarrassing and potentially catastrophic it would be if an administrator or school resource officer used a Cellebrite to download students' private text messages, photos, social media posts, location history, and more. Rogue - How do you feel about admins doing this to kids phones?  Twitter is shutting down its Periscope apps  Live streaming on Periscope is coming to an end. Twitter has announced they will be shutting down the video streaming service for good.From the verge - Twitter will, however, continue to offer live video streaming through its integrated Twitter Live feature within the main Twitter app.“The Periscope app is in an unsustainable maintenance-mode state, and has been for a while,” the company explained in a blog post. “Over the past couple of years, we've seen declining usage and know that the cost to support the app will only continue to go up over time.”While Periscope won't be fully shut down until March, the company is already blocking any new account signups starting in the latest update to the apps, which is rolling out today. Users will have the chance to download an archive of both their Periscope videos and their data before the app is shuttered next year. Additionally, the Periscope website will remain active to serve as a “read-only archive of public broadcasts.”Dev - Do you see something else showing up to take periscopes place ? https://gamerant.com/cyberpunk-2077-refund-good-bad/  Currently, Cyberpunk 2077 is still in a rough state, which goes to show that the console versions are, effectively, still not ready to be released. In a statement released by CD Projekt Red, the studio admitted that it "ignored the signal about the need for additional time to refine the game in the base last-gen consoles." On the bright side of things, while Cyberpunk 2077 is riddled with bugs and glitches, most of them are fixable through a content update.Although CD Projekt Red recently released a hotfix targeting quest bugs and crashing, it will probably take a while before the game is polished to a near-perfect state, or even a playable one at that. Having said that, players whose only concern is the bugs present in Cyberpunk 2077 should probably hold on to the game, given that CD Projekt Red is working on improving the game's overall experience.Stump - Refunds are now basically being offered across all platforms. Should gamers all get refunds and wait for patches?Entertainment NewsChris Pine to Star in a DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Movie Super Nerds everywhere are giddy right now. Why? There is talk about a new Dungeons and Dragons Movie and it will allegedly star none other than Captain Kirk himself. No not Shattner. Chris Pine.From the Nerdist - John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein (both directed Game Night and wrote Spider-Man: Homecoming) are directing this Dungeons & Dragons movie. They're writing the script too; it's based on a Michael Gilio-penned draft. The film will be an ensemble that, according to Deadline, will take a “subversive approach to the game.” The ensemble part makes total sense. D&D games center on a group of players going on an adventure together. Any movie trying to capture the feeling of the game needs to be a group effort. They're planning to start filming in the first quarter of 2021. That means we should find out about additional cast members soon. We have our eyes open. Don't worry, we have a solid bonus for our perception rolls.Rogue - What do you want from a D&D movie?8. https://nerdist.com/article/the-last-blockbuster-docmentary-trailer/ Some of us may remember those great friday nights going to the local video store. Grabbing our favorite candy and the last copy of TMNT 2 the secret of the ooze on VHS. Sadly those days are gone but you can capture a final glimpse in a new documentary.“The Last Blockbuster follows Sandi Harding, the manager of the world's last remaining Blockbuster—located in Bend, OR—as she reflects on the store's vibrant past and navigates the difficult task of keeping a video rental store open in the era of streaming. Taking us through the history and subsequent rise and fall of the franchise, the documentary reveals the real reason why Blockbuster went out of business (hint – it wasn't Netflix), while celebrating the unique and defining culture it created in the '80s and ‘90s.”This documentary, which explores an era of the moviegoing experience that will once feel as outdated as leeching, featuring interviews with comedians and celebrities. That includes Adam Brody, Ione Skye, Doug Benson, Paul Scheer, Ron Funches, and Kevin Smith.Deviant - What is your top video store memory? 9. Original Boba Fett Actor Jeremy Bulloch Dies at 75 Star Wars fans can't seem to catch a break with several original cast members passing on the last few years. Now we have lost another.The man who originally wore the Boba Fett armor, Jeremy Bulloch, has passed away at the age of 75. A post on the actor's Facebook page says he passed peacefully after health complications. Born in 1945 in Leicestershire in the United Kingdom, Bulloch began his acting career in 1958. Back then he starred in television commercials. He soon transitioned to film and other TV acting roles. Aside from playing Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, he also portrayed Hamlet, appeared in Doctor Who, and Robin of Sherwood. Bulloch had parts in the James Bond franchise too in The Spy Who Loved Me, For Your Eyes Only, and Octopussy. Boba Fett became the cult icon of the original trilogy. This led to a long and successful career for Bulloch on the Star Wars convention circuit for many decades. The 501st Legion even inducted Bulloch as an Honorary Member in 2002. He often cosplayed in his Boba Fett costume and made public appearances with them. He was also a frequent guest at Star Wars Weekends at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.  In 2005, he returned to the on-screen Star Wars galaxy for a brief role as the Alderaanian pilot Captain Colton in Revenge of the Sith.Stump - It seems almost fitting that Disney will be dedicating a new series to the Bounty Hunter after this news.BOLD PREDICTIONS We have not seen the end of grogu in Mandalorian.

This bill is the spending that will keep the US government open for the next fiscal period. From the piece -  the felony streaming proposal is the work of Republican senator Thom Tillis, who has backed similar proposals previously. It is more or less exactly what it sounds like: A proposal to turn unauthorized commercial streaming of copyrighted material—progressive policy publication The American Prospect specifically points to examples like “an album on YouTube, a video clip on Twitch, or a song in an Instagram story”—into a felony offense with a possible prison sentence. Currently, such violations, no matter how severe, are considered misdemeanors rather than felonies, because the law regards streaming as a public performance. With Twitch currently in the crosshairs of the music industry, such a change would turn up the heat on streamers and Twitch even higher—perhaps to an untenable degree. Other platforms, like YouTube, would almost certainly suffer as well.Alongside the felony streaming proposal, these provisions have drawn ire from civil rights groups, digital rights nonprofits, and companies including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Internet Archive, the American Library Association, and the Center for Democracy & Technology. Collectively, these groups and others penned a letter to the U.S. Senate last week.Stump -  What do you think about turning this into a felony? Facebook Accused of Breaking Antitrust Laws  In our first story, It was almost only a matter of time until this happened. 46 States have filed lawsuits stating that facebook has engaged in anti- competitive behavior in buying up its competition.From the NYT - Federal and state regulators of both parties, who have investigated the company for over 18 months, said in separate lawsuits that Facebook's purchases, especially Instagram for $1 billion in 2012 and WhatsApp for $19 billion two years later, eliminated competition that could have one day challenged the company's dominance.Since those deals, Instagram and WhatsApp have skyrocketed in popularity, giving Facebook control over three of the world's most popular social media and messaging apps. The applications have helped catapult Facebook from a company started in a college dorm room 16 years ago to an internet powerhouse valued at more than $800 billion.The investigations already led to a lawsuit against Google, brought by the Justice Department two months ago, that accuses the search giant of illegally protecting a monopoly. Prosecutors in that case, though, stopped short of demanding that Google break off any parts of its business. At least one more suit against Google, by both Republican and Democratic officials, is expected by the end of the year. In Europe, regulators are proposing tougher laws against the industry and have issued billions of dollars in penalties for the violation of competition laws.To read the full article check out the description below.Jac - Do you feel like its fair to retro actively go after them for buying these companies? https://www.polygon.com/2020/12/10/22168442/twitch-bunnyhop-women-streamers-community-guidelines-harassment  Being a woman on Twitch can already be rough, and a website called Bunny Hop doesn't seem to be making things easier. The site, which seems fairly new, exists exclusively to highlight “cute girls” — Bunny Hop's words — who are live on Amazon's broadcasting service. And based on a number of responses on social media, it appears that most people on it never gave Bunny Hop the OK to be on the site.“They absolutely do NOT have my permission to do this,” one Twitch streamer wrote on Twitter.“This is not ok, why am I even on the website,” another said.“You should have to get notified and agree to stuff like this,” another streamer featured on the site opined.Update: Twitch has blocked Bunny Hop from embedding livestreams, according to a Twitter post by a support account. While streams are still visible when you visit the Bunny Hop homepage, clicking through to engage with them further now results in an error.Symph - Whats your take on the new twitch policies and their quick action on this site?Gaming News Cyberpunk 2077 devs warn streamers to turn off all music to avoid DMCA strikes  Speaking of DMCA, CD Projekt Red has backtracked on its claims to be safe to stream. From the Verge - CD Projekt Red's (CDPR) highly anticipated new roleplaying game Cyberpunk 2077 is having a bit of a rough release, and now you can add potential copyright issues while streaming to its list of launch-day hiccups. The developer says until it has a fix ready, any potential Twitch streamers should turn off all in-game music to avoid any strikes on their channel.The developer first warned potential streamers on Wednesday, before Cyberpunk 2077 officially launched in all regions, that a certain song (CDPR didn't say which one) during the game's “Braindance” sequences might trigger a Digital Millennium Copyright Act strike. That's even if you're using the specific in-game setting designed to toggle off copyrighted music for this exact reason.CDPR says that the issue may be larger than it first realized, and it's now advising streamers to turn off in-game music entirely due to “additional instances in the game which might put a DMCA strike on your channel.” CDPR says a fix is on the way, but it's not an ideal situation to have to disable all music (both copyrighted and original tracks) when streaming the game just to avoid tripping the automated detection systems that protect copyrighted works.Jac - What should cdpr do to make up to people that bought this game the fact that its so buggy and has all these issue?5. Google Stadia will let all users livestream games directly to YouTube tomorrow Lastly, Google stadia is making some moves to not only improve their service but to make it a bit easier to stream on Youtube.From the Verge - From the very beginning, Google Stadia and YouTube were supposed to work together — thanks to the magic of cloud computing, you'd be able to click a YouTube ad to instantly begin playing a game, YouTubers would be able to invite their viewers to instantly join their game, and — perhaps most importantly — creators would be able to instantly, effortlessly be able to livestream their Stadia games to YouTube just by pressing a button on the controller.The feature couldn't come at a more important time for Stadia: the service's most important game yet, Cyberpunk 2077, is arriving this week, at a time when next-gen consoles and the latest graphics cards to build your own powerful PC are incredibly difficult and expensive to buy. It's the biggest test for Stadia yet, and one the company is banking on: buying Cyberpunk on the service comes with a full set of free Stadia hardware for a limited time — not unlike the set it gave free to YouTube Premium subscribers.People streaming Cyberpunk 2077 from Stadia to YouTube could be the single biggest opportunity yet for Google to prove what its service can do.Symph - are you interested in gaming services like stadia to run these high end games?6. Here's every game that won big at The Game Awards 2020 The Game Awards winners are in, and though there were loads of winning games across many categories, one game took home the top prize: The Last of Us 2, which won Game of the Year.In a year with an almost shocking amount of great games, every category was filled with strong contenders for the win, which made The Game Awards 2020 a real nail-biter. Of course, as ever there were big surprise game reveals and household names like Keanu Reeves, Nolan North, and Troy Baker presenting the awards.From Most Anticipated Game and Games for Impact to best Score and Music and Art Direction, here's some winners from The Game Awards 2020.Best Performance Laura Bailey as Abby in The Last of Us Part 2 Best Game Direction Best Narrative Best audio design Best Art Direction - Ghost of TsushimaBest Score and Music/Role play - Final Fantasy 7 RemakeBest Ongoing - No Man's Sky Best Debut - PhasmophobiaStump - Its kinda hard to believe Fall guys doesnt take best debut.Entertainment News CM Punk Sounds Off On Controversial WWE/Twitch Issue, Claims Company Caters To Certain Wrestlers In our second story, A guy who never ever has an opinion on things is speaking out about WWE's policy with its superstars and Twitch. Just kidding its CM Punk and he is sounding off about the controversy.From the piece - Punk said “This is where I will get controversial and piss a lot of people off. I don't know Xavier Woods. I met him in Atlanta. He was doing a dark match one time. He was always a good wrestler but there wasn't a character for him at that time. Obviously he has become a pretty big superstar. He's big on Twitch. He's a big video gamer. I don't know what's going on with his Twitch channel so I don't want to speak out of turn on that. I just saw he was petitioning to get a job with G4. Why is it ok for him to do that but Zelina Vega can't have a Twitch? That was always my thing and people labeled me a complainer or whiny because I would always be the guy that would say, wait, why is so and so able to do this because there was always outside interest, not only for me. “You can hear his full interview on Renee Paquette's podcast Oral Sessions.Jac - Do you think this deal had anything to do with why wwe made these moves?8. Metal Gear Solid movie to star Oscar Isaac as Solid Snake Lastly, another video game favorite is making its way to the silver screen and we now know who will play its leading character. Metal Gear Solids Snake will be played by Oscar Issac of Star Wars fame. From the piece -You might be familiar with Isaac as Resistance fighter Poe Dameron in the latest Star Wars film trilogy and his upcoming role as Duke Leto Atreides in Dune, and I think he could be a great fit to play Solid Snake.Apparently Isaac did, too, as he cast himself for the role in an interview back in 2019.The Metal Gear Solid movie, which is still in development, will be directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts. But like some other movie adaptations of video games, this one has been in development for years — Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima first revealed that a movie was in the works all the way back in 2006. A start date for production is still unknown, according to Deadline, so it doesn't seem like we should expect the movie anytime soon. Symph - What do you make of this casting? Will it be a good fit?9 .Hayden Christensen returning as Darth Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi .Hayden Christensen will reprise his role as Darth Vader in the Disney Plus series Obi-Wan Kenobi, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy announced today.Christensen will star opposite his former Star Wars prequel colleague Ewan McGregor, who's reprising his role as the titular character. Obi-Wan Kenobiis set 10 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith. Anakin Skywalker has become Darth Vader and Obi-Wan is still trying to recover from his greatest defeat.“It was such an incredible journey playing Anakin Skywalker,” Christensen said in a press release. “Of course, Anakin and Obi-Wan weren't on the greatest of terms when we last saw them… It will be interesting to see what an amazing director like Deborah Chow has in store for us all. I'm excited to work with Ewan again. It feels good to be back.”The show was officially announced at D23, Disney's biennial fan convention, last year. McGregor was onstage at D23 to make the announcement. “It feels so nice to say,” McGregor said.Production is set to start in March 2021.Stump -  Yay or nay on this? Many people were not happy with HC before will they like him for nostalgia's sake here?BOLD PREDICTIONS I boldly predict you will all let me down with your hate mail the rest of the year!In the months to come we will see a law suit involving the willful infection of another for corona virus.I believe we have seen 2 cyberpunk updates since launch.

Many have lamented the lack of discoverability for smaller creators but i dont think this was a solution they had in Mind. Boost is the name of the new feature and its already raising some eyebrows.From Dexerto.comTwitch is rolling out a new feature for eligible channels called “Boost this stream,” with the hopes of giving people an avenue to be featured on “highly visible parts” of the platform. However, there are concerns it'll be damaging for the smaller streams trying to get noticed.The new Community Challenge requires viewers to pool their Channel Points to unlock the reward. Streamers will get notified once the challenge is available on their channel, then will relay that to their community to start chipping away at the progress bar.But there are concerns about its application. It'll be on Twitch's discretion for who gets to run the promotion as well as the target number to hit before a channel can be successfully Boosted. “How is not going to be abused by larger streams with more viewers, and therefore a bigger pool?” one person wrote. “IMO channel points devoted for use with a Community Challenge should be weighted in value depending on viewership.”Twitch responded saying “the amount of Channel Points required to successfully boost a stream is scaled with the size and viewership of the channel,” though a clear metric of how the cap increases wasn't made available. Deviant -  Are you buying into the criticisms coming from streamers about the potential abuse of this system?  https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/3/22150197/youtube-comments-posting-hurtful-hate-videos-discrimination-monetization-search Our tech overlords have once again come through to help us, the unwashed masses. This time they are screening our comments and asking us if we are sure we want to post, if their AI deems our comment offensive. What would we do without them?From the Verge - YouTube is trying to combat offensive comments that appear under videos by following in the footsteps of other social media companies and asking people before they post something that may be offensive: “Is this something you really want to share?”The company is launching a new product feature that will warn people when they're going to post a comment that it “may be offensive to others,” in order to give them “the option to reflect before posting,” according to a new blog post. The tool won't actually stop people from posting said comment. Prompts won't appear before every comment, but it will for ones that YouTube's system deems offensive, which is based on content that's been repeatedly reported. Once the prompt does appear, people can post the comment as they originally intended or use additional time to edit the comment.For creators, the company is also rolling out better content filtering systems in YouTube Studio (the backend where creators manage their channel). The new filter will seek out inappropriate or hurtful comments that were automatically flagged and held for review, and remove them from the queue so people don't have to read them. The new feature will roll out on Android first and in English before appearing elsewhere.Nikki -  What I thought was interesting was that this is based of past reports. This seems like it has potential for abuse by trolls. What do you think? Mizkif slams Twitch staff for DMCA issues after mocking his content  As if Twitch doesn't get enough bad press for what they don't do, They earned the ire of Popular streamer Mizkif for one employees lack of foresight when he dropped into his pokemon card unboxing stream. From the piece at Dexerto - While opening up packs during a November 29 broadcast, a member of Mizkif's chat named AidenWallis emerged and started joking about the odds of getting a rare card.Amusingly, Wallis happens to be a broadcast solutions engineer at Twitch and as such has an icon next to his name that indicates he works at the Amazon-owned platform.“We have a higher chance of getting content than you do of getting something rare,” Mizkif read the comment out loud. “This is from Twitch staff!” Not pleased with how the staff member had mocked his content, the popular entertainer proceeded to put the website on blast, primarily focusing on the DMCA issues that have plagued the platform. “Aiden Wallis is coming here to tell me to get content. How about you fix your f**king website, dude,” he slammed, ending his epic rant. While Aiden Wallis is a Twitch employee he doesnt work on the site itself. A representative of the platform has no business coming in on an official account and saying these sorts of things. Especially given that creators are feeling very abandoned and unheard by Twitch. Stump - This seems pretty unprofessional for an employee of twitch to drop in and say something like this on an official account dont you think?Gaming News https://gamerant.com/fortnite-galactus-event-vods-copyright-flag-twitch/  The never ending battle over DMCA on Twitch rages on as today we saw an interesting warning coming from Fortnite before the conclusion of their Marvel Season.From GameRantA new tweet from the official Fortnite Status account explains that Fortnite can not protect streamers who choose to broadcast the event later today and that VODs (videos on demand) or clips from streams may get flagged by Twitch's copyright detection systems. To avoid this issue, the Fortnite Status account mentions that streamers are recommended to mute their VODs or to turn off VODs and clips to protect themselves against any copyright claims or strikes.Fortnite's newest event is set to feature the big-time Marvel baddie, Galactus. There is some speculation that Galactus will bring about another "black hole" at the conclusion of this event much like players saw in the transition from Chapter 1 of Fortnite to Chapter 2. The hope now is that Galactus will only impact the in-game world of Fortnite and not cause any of Twitch's beloved streamers to receive bans over any copyrighted material.Not only could it cause DMCA issues Twitch actually had technical difficulties during the event no doubt due to the increased viewership.Dev - Seems sort of a dumb move by Fortnite to knowingly use dmca able content knowing all the current issues dont you think? E-sports : Dr. Disrespect proposes new awards in the video game industry Exiled Twitch streamer and 2 time back to back blockbuster video game champion DR Disrespect is back in the news. This time with a brilliant idea of his own.FROM Explica.com- The new criticism from Dr. Disrespect is towards the awards that are distributed in the video game and esports industry, such as the past Esports Awards or the next Game Awards 2020.He said  - “I think the gaming industry needs an award show that focuses on things that really matter.Examples: Best Multiplayer Map design, best weapon skin design, best single player level, best menu music, funniest clip, gameplay clip of the year..etc etc .It's settled …. Next year.”We do not know if he will organize some awards himself, but it is clear that he has something in mind.Nikki - What sort of things would you like to see from a Doc awards show? Esports arena for professional video game competitions planned for Chicago's Near South Side  Professional video game players could compete in front of large crowds on the Near South Side if a local real estate developer's unique, post-pandemic vision comes to fruition.Scott Greenberg, best known for Chicago hotels such as the Wit in the Loop and the EMC2 hotel in Streeterville, wants to build a $30 million esports venue called Surge near the Stevenson Expressway.The 106,000-square-foot venue at 2500 S. Wabash Ave. would serve food and drinks from three large kitchens, and include an arena large enough for 800 spectators to watch top players compete, Greenberg said.“What we're doing is not like anything else in the world, as far as esports stadiums,” said Greenberg, president of Lincolnshire-based ECD Co.The developers believe the rise in esports' popularity, including many high school and college teams, means there is significant interest in watching professionals compete in person.Stump - This seems like another step in the right direction for your esports prediction. A dedicated arena in a major market is a big step.Entertainment News Spotify tests Snapchat-like stories for playlists  Get ready for conversations that go like this. “Hey did you see my story that I posted?” Uh which one? Thats right yet another platform is adding stories to their arsenal. This time it comes from an unlikely place. Spotify.From the Verge-Spotify is testing a new Snapchat-style Stories feature alongside some of its playlists. On its Christmas Hits playlist, for example, a series of artists including Jennifer Lopez, Kelly Clarkson, and Pentatonix use a series of short video clips to share personal anecdotes about the festive period and their songwriting processes. Engadget notes that similar stories have been spotted on the Tear Drop emo rap playlist, and a version of Megan Thee Stallion's album Good News.Spotify confirmed the new feature in a statement provided to Engadget, but said it was a test and stopped short of confirming a wider release. “At Spotify, we routinely conduct a number of tests in an effort to improve our user experience,” a spokesperson said. Since debuting on Snapchat, Stories have become an increasingly common sight across numerous social networks and other services. Instagram's implementation of the format is one of the best known, but other services including YouTube, Twitter, and even LinkedIn have implemented versions of the feature. This isn't even Spotify's first stories test, following an experiment with a feature called Storylines back in 2019.Deviant - Doesn't it seem like it would make more sense for a company like spotify to integrate another platforms' stories?Super Nintendo World opens on February 4th with AR Mario Kart rollercoaster Have you always wanted to go on a trip to the mushroom kingdom? Jump down pipes and ride hungry green Dinos while stomping on mushroom shaped bipedal monsters. Well you are in Luck!Universal Studios japan has announced the Feb 4th 2021 grand opening of their Nintendo World section of their park. From the Verge - USJ and Nintendo have also provided details on what is sure to be one of the park's flagship attractions: a Mario Kart-themed rollercoaster. It's housed inside a reconstructed Bowser's castle and makes use of AR and projection mapping technology, with riders donning AR headsets shaped like Mario's cap:The cars do have steering wheels, and multiple vehicles can race alongside each other, but it sounds like the ride itself is on rails. It's not guaranteed that you win the race — there's an element of throwing power-ups from item boxes, and the experience will be different each time you ride, according to USJ.The opening of Super Nintendo World will be closely watched as a model for the theme park industry, which has been hit hard by COVID-19Nikki -  What do you think of their use of Augmented reality? Could this be a trend going forward? G4 Signs WWE Superstar Xavier Woods Don't you dare be sour clap for your new g4 personality and feel the powerThat's right boomers G4 is coming back and they have signed former wwe tag champ Xavier Woods to be a part of their team.From businesswire.comG4, the famed gaming network, previously lived on cable television from 2002-2014 and is poised to return in 2021 on multiple digital and linear platforms.Xavier Woods' appointment was announced by Kevin Sabbe, Head of Content, G4. “We could not be happier to welcome Xavier to the family and introduce the first member of G4's new cast,” said Sabbe. “The list of on-air talent with advanced degrees in psychology, unbridled passion for video games and multiple WWE Tag Team Championships is not long. We loved Xavier's creative #Creed4G4 campaign and cannot wait to showcase his many talents throughout G4's developing slate of programming. Xavier stands as a fantastic first representative of an exciting and diverse team that we are assembling for G4 and will be introducing in the coming weeks and months.”“Never in my wildest dreams did I expect #Creed4G4 to gain so much momentum among WWE fans and gamers alike,” said Woods. “As a lifelong video game fanatic, I have always held a genuine affinity for the G4 brand and I'm honored and humbled to be joining the G4 team at a time when interest in gaming and the gaming community has never been stronger.”Stump - This hire seems like a no brainer for G4 and I am really hoping they get him the rights for nick arcade. How do you think the resurrected channel will fair?BOLD PREDICTIONS The number of WWE talent that will be leaving next year will exceed 2020.2021 will be the year of usually twitch features. More useless features will come out in 21 than probably ever! This will actually help propel competitors to gain market share. Cyber punk will get absolutely shit on in the reviews but you won't know 1 person that will have a bad thing to say about it. Dr. Dis signed with G4 for an awards show!Plug your stuff.No show Dec 27thZazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Streamers flocked to twitter to voice their disgust over what in this hosts mind was a step in the right direction by twitch.FROM THE PIECE On TableOC.comA twitter user writes:So what about music in game? The biggest game is about to drop next month and we have to mute all music entirely and ruin the experience for the in game!Twitch Support (@TwitchSupport) replied: Hey there, thanks for reaching out. We recommend reading through any game's EULA, and utilizing any option to turn music off if the game includes that option, or mute the game audio.That was the point where people seemed to have lost their minds. It seems the idea that a content creator should be responsible for making sure that they have the rights to the content they are broadcasting is insane! The response has ranged from (and I'm paraphrasing) “twitch should buy licenses for everyone to stream music” to “Twitch wants to kill off our streams by having us do audio-less streams”.  The backlash is coming not from a place of reason but from obvious frustration. We as always are following this closely for you.Dainty - How do you feel about streamers not taking responsibility for their content?Twitch rolls out a new Points feature for predicting achievements   Amidst the cries of streamers everywhere for better tools to handle the looming DMCA battles, Twitch has answered the call. They heard you loud and clear and released a new Points Gambling feature called Predictions. From the piece at slash gear dot com -   With this new tool, streamers can engage with their viewers by allowing them to spend Channel Points on predicting stream outcomes, giving those viewers the opportunity to get various rewards. In a new announcement, Twitch said that viewers can now spend some of their accumulated points on predictions related to the stream. For example, a game streamer may offer a prediction about whether they'll be able to pull off a certain number of eliminations — and viewers can predict whether that'll be true or not.Those who predict correctly will get a certain portion of all the points spent on that prediction, meaning they'll either lose their contribution if they're wrong or get even more points if they're right. Streamers can offer their own custom perks for viewers to use their points.This will no doubt be a dangerous and effective tool to battle those DMCA strikes.Ghost- How do you feel about twitch making apologies for not helping with the dmca infrastructure but continuing to roll out useless and maybe kinda fun features? Shroud defends Twitch after platform refuses to explain Dr Disrespect's ban  Shroud has always been a straight-shooter. He doesn't bite his tongue when asked serious questions, and he didn't hold back when responding to comments about Dr Disrespect's permanent Twitch ban.“I just hate the fact that Twitch didn't give any [information] or reasoning why.” It's a sentiment that has echoed throughout the community. Many viewers have felt like they deserved an explanation.However, shroud was quick to shoot down that line of thought. “If they gave info on any ban that they've done… they would have to go through and give info on every single person,” he said. “That's not a good idea.”“I'm sure he got a reason [but] we didn't get a reason,” he said. “You don't really need to inform everybody why… that's between… the employer and the employee. We don't have a right to know. Only the people involved do.” Stump - Are you surprised but the fact Shroud thinks Doc knows why?Gaming News Microsoft: ‘please do not blow vape smoke into your Xbox Series X' The Next generation of consoles is upon us and even the trolls need to get in on the hype. Videos swirled this week of the Xbox series X with smoke rising from its tower like structure.From our piece - The posts would have you believe the blazing graphics of the Series X are so demanding they can cause an Xbox to catch fire, but the reality is much simpler than Xbox consoles spontaneously bursting into flame. What actually appears to be happening is that people are piping vape smoke into their new $500 consoles to give off the appearance of a fire to troll fans on social media.Xbox issued a statement via twitter saying: We can't believe we have to say this, but please do not blow vape smoke into your Xbox Series X.If that isn't the most 2020 tweet I don't know what is.Dainty - What is it that drives trolls to do this sort of thing? Among Us to Add New Map, Accounts System and More Among Us publishers Innersloth have pushed an update for the game and have outlined a road map for upcoming content. From the IGN piece -A new developer blog post on the Among Us news hub on Steam mentions that Innersloth is working on an account system, set to arrive as early as December, which will let players report toxic or hacking accounts, with friend lists to follow after that. The team is also hard at work on a free new map, which is apparently bigger than Polus and features brand new task types, and will be free to all players. Professional translations into multiple languages are also in the pipeline, as well as full-blown colourblind support.The latest update has brought bug fixes and anonymous voting to the game, which marks every vote as grey to obscure voting intention and make ejections even more mysterious. Innersloth also mentioned that it's working on dealing with cheating and hacking in the game.Ghost - Hackers in among us? I didnt know this was a thing. WWhat makes this game so popular? AEW's new video game looks like pure nostalgia injected into your Xbox or PS5  Wrestling video game developer Yuke's, who most recently worked on the WWE 2K games (up until 2019) is working on the AEW game, and it's rumored they're working the team from AKI, who were responsible for the legendary, beloved N64 titles — most important of which was WWF No Mercy. This marks the return of this style of wrestling game. For years fans have really only had the opportunity to play the WWE 2K series on consoles, though the Japanese-focused Fire Pro Wrestling World, released in 2017 offered a deeper style of gameplay, minus the AAA graphics. No release date is currently scheduled for the AEW game, with work still being done in the pre-alpha stage, but for now I'm just hoping it can live up to its pedigree, and bring me back to the time where I'd play nothing but wrestling games. Stump -  I am excited not just for this game but the mobile games that were announced. I think just like in wrestling tv we need competitors in the game world. What do you think?Entertainment NewsParler, a conservative Twitter clone, has seen nearly 1 million downloads since Election Day A new Social Media App has emerged since election day here in the US. Parler, a conservative twitter clone as billed by the verge, has become the latest bastion of free speech on the internet.From the Verge - Conservative angst over President Trump's loss has resulted in a surge of downloads for Parler, a conservative social network founded as an ideological alternative to Facebook and Twitter. According to data from SensorTower, Parler's app saw 980,000 downloads in total between November 3rd (Election Day) and November 8th,Interesting here they are calling it an ideological alternative. Parler's main difference from other social networks is that they choose not to sensor political thought or stifle free speech. Tells you a little bit about the ideology of their opponents.Dainty - Why is censorship seemingly just accepted by many from big tech?  Netflix is testing a linear channel in France that should help with decision fatigue Netflix has taken a step toward an entirely new format for their brand. The streaming giant is testing a linear pre-programmed channel in their french market.From the piece -The channel, called Netflix Direct, will be available to Netflix streaming subscribers and will provide content from its existing streaming library in a linear format, much like cable and broadcast TV stations do.Netflix has tested other alternatives to its standard streaming offerings, launching a “Shuffle” button in August to allow users to randomly scroll through recommended viewing options. With Netflix Direct, all viewers on the channel will be watching the same programming at the same time.Ghost - Do you think this is a feature that will take off? Why or Why not? Netflix reveal why so many original shows get canceled after one season  During an appearance at the Paley International Council Summit, Netflix's Global Head of TV Bela Bajaria attempted to offer an explanation as to why the service appears to cancel so many freshman shows. “It's always painful to cancel a show and nobody wants to do that. We order straight to series in the first rather than make pilots, which results sometimes in more season one cancelations,” she said according to Deadline. “Even with that, I still believe a season order is still a better creative expression of a writer's idea so I still think that's the right model for us.” “It seems like in this new age of television, the business model is a little different. The things that marked success prior to Netflix really had been getting to syndication, that was the goal and anything that didn't get to 100 episodes or past the four seasons didn't feel like a success,” he said. “Whereas I think many shows can be a success for being exactly what they are and you could tell that story in two seasons or one season or five seasons. I think it gets talked about so much because it's measured against the old way of doing things.  Stump - How do you feel about this model?BOLD PREDICTIONS Netflix will have 25% more “canceled” shows in the next fiscal year.Aew game will have the highest presales and sales of any wrestling game.Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

From the piece at the Verge - Twitch pushed an update that broke uBlock, a popular ad-blocker. UBlock users were suddenly greeted with a pop-up noting that they may be using a third-party tool or browser extension that “is impacting site performance” every 10 or 20 minutes — a little like a site-triggered midroll ad.A spokesperson from Twitch told The Verge that users were getting that specific pop-up because the tool they're using is manipulating the site code. This person stressed that the midroll experiment was over and added that Twitch hadn't actually changed the overall ad density of the site — which is to say, the only automated ads running on the site are prerolls, and streamers can disable those for their subscribers.  It's important for streamers and viewers to remember that Companies like twitch use ads to fund the platforms but TWitch may also need to take a serious look at how they have implemented these intrusive ads.Oasis - How do you feel about firstly the mid roll ads and secondly how do you feel about them working against ad blockers? Twitch announces virtual 'GlitchCon' after canceling TwitchCon 2020 Twitch has scheduled an online version of the cancelled twitchcon. This online event, Labeled GlitchCon, has been scheduled for November 14th.From the dexerto.com piece - A ton of events, not just video game and esport-focused ones, have been forced to move online this year, but TwitchCon is a very interesting case because it's the one time of year where viewers can hope to meet their favorite streamer in person. That obviously won't be possible this year, and exactly what Twitch is planning for GlitchCon remains unknown, but we should hopefully know more by the time it starts on November 14. If it's anything like the IRL convention, we can expect it to show off various artists, cosplayers, and communities from the site, though exactly how they'll manage to pull this off remains to be seen. Rogue- Have we seen the end of conventions?  Pokimane wants Twitch fans to stop giving her so much money Aspiring Vtuber and Twitch juggernaut Imane “Pokimane” Anys announced on Twitter in early November that, from now on, donations on her channel would have a cap. You can no longer donate more than $5 to Anys, who is asking viewers to instead take that money and give it to other streamers who may need it more than she does.Viewers took the change positively, with one recent donation jokingly stating that they were going to use the extra money to buy “double the RAM” on their PC now. That same livestream saw Anys explaining her decision a bit more, noting she believed that watching live streams, especially sponsored streams, was a better sign of support than monetary sums. She also encouraged people to get involved in the chat.Stump - We have talked a lot about poke lately. Do you think this is a publicity move to steer her away from the simp perception?Gaming NewsBest Buy won't let you buy a PS5 or Xbox Series X in stores until 2021As if the news and speculation around the releases of next gen consoles wasn't enough, Sony has announced that its retail partners will only sell the console online through the Holiday Season. Best buy has gone a step farther and said all next gen console sales will be handled via their website or mobile app through the Holiday Season.FROM THE VERGE“While our stores won't have devices for purchase on launch day or throughout the holiday season, keep an eye on BestBuy.com, where they'll be available for purchase as soon as we have them available,” Best Buy's Katie Huggins wrote in a blog post. “This means there's no need to camp out at your local store, just check back on BestBuy.com without leaving home!” Sony also strongly discouraged eager gamers from lining up outside stores, since the effort would be completely wasted — and could present a heightened COVID-19 risk amid the ongoing pandemic.Oasis - How do you think this will affect ps5 sales vs xbox? https://gamerant.com/gamestop-tiktok-dance-competition-canceled After the bad press finally died down after their covid response,Gamestop is once again back in hot water. This time over an internal competition promoting tiktok dances. From gamrant.com  -The competition, which was initially found on GameStop's employee portal, was removed and is no longer visible after the company received serious criticism from its followers. The big issue here was GameStop's main prize for competing, 10 labor hours for Black Friday week. Onlookers aren't entirely sure what this means, but it seems strange nonetheless.There is also some confusion around the situation, with some claiming the wording of the contest made it sound as though GameStop employees would be competing for paid time off or simply for 10 hours worth of pay. Unfortunately, GameStop hasn't yet made a clarifying comment, so it seems that speculation will have to do for nowRogue - Does this seem like less of a big deal than it's been made? Fortnite will reportedly be playable on iOS again through Nvidia's GeForce Now Fortnite may in fact make its way back to the iOS universe later this year as it may be available through NVIDIA's cloud gaming service. The gaming service has not yet made it to Apple devices but is expected to be announced before the Holidays.FROM THE VERGE-GeForce Now will supposedly run inside of Safari, the web browser, rather than as a standalone app, because of Apple's restrictions on game streaming services that make it onerous to support them through the App Store. The service allows you to stream your personal library of games to laptops, mobile phones, and other devices that might not otherwise be able to run them well — or at all. A standard “Founders” plan currently costs $5 per month, though you can play for limited time periods for free.The result of a potential GeForce Now browser solution is that Fortnite would be available, but only for those who jump through the hoops needed to set up Nvidia's streaming service on an iPhone. In that scenario, Fortnite might look better, thanks to higher-fidelity graphics, because it's streamed from a PC. But there's no guarantee it'll run as responsively as the native Fortnite mobile app does, given that it'll be inside of a browser and could face latency issues and other snags.Pat - This seems like a ridiculous way for fortnite to work sound onto apple. How do you see this affecting the lawsuits ongoing?Entertainment News Apple TV is coming to Xbox consoles on November 10th Apple is teaming up with their nemesis over at Microsoft and will be launching their AppleTV streaming service next month on the Xbox.FROM THE VERGE- Apple TV will debut on Xbox consoles next month, just in time for the Xbox Series X and Series S launch. The new Apple TV app will be available across Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S consoles on November 10th, providing access to Apple's TV shows and movie libraries. Apple TV has been missing on Xbox since its launch last year, and it's also arriving on PS5 ready for its November 12th launch.Microsoft is also confirming today that Netflix, Disney Plus, HBO Max, Spotify, YouTube, YouTube TV, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, NBC Peacock, Vudu, FandangoNow, Twitch, Sky Go, NOW TV, Sky Ticket, and more will be available on both next-gen Xbox consoles next month. Both the Xbox Series X and Series S will support Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, which work in apps like Netflix, Disney Plus, and Vudu.Oasis - Are you surprised to see apple going outside their environment like this? Judge Blocks TikTok Ban Set to Begin on Nov 12 Tik tok scored a W in court this week. A Pennsylvania judge approved an injunction that has temporarily stopped a federal ban that would have gone into effect Nov 12th.From the piece over at IGN - The Pennsylvania suit was brought forward by TikTok users Doug Marland, Cosette Rinab, and Alec Chambers, each of whom has several million followers on the social media app. Judge Wendy Beetlestone agreed that banning TikTok will mean creators will “lose the ability to engage with their millions of followers on TikTok, and the related brand sponsorships.”This is the latest in a series of setbacks for the Trump administration as it seeks to ban TikTok in the United States over alleged security concerns. A Washington D.C. District Judge already granted TikTok a temporary injunction on an order that would stop downloads for TikTok after agreeing that a ban will cause “irreparable economic and reputational harm” to the business.Rogue - Are people marketing on tiktok? Should I be doing tik tok dances for Table of Content? Chris Hemsworth Threatened to Fire His Trainer After He Was Asked to Join The Bachelor Chris' personal trainer, Luke Zocchi, revealed that the Thor actor threatened to fire him if Luke joined The Bachelor as a contestant. He told Nova 96.9's Fitzy & Wippa that he was offered a spot on the Australian iteration of the dating show, but when he asked for Chris' approval, it didn't go over too well. "I actually did get it, but I said no," Luke said. "I actually said it [to Chris] as a joke and he said, ‘If you go on The Bachelor, I will fire you!'"Stump - I think rogue's time has come don't you?BOLD PREDICTIONS I dont know if Mr Trebec can ever be replaced but  i think his shoes will be filled by a young female comedian. I'm making a called shot!

Twitch sent out emails to various content creators informing them that some of their VODs had been removed from the streaming service due to DCMA takedown requests without informing the content creator of what the violation was, which video it was or even giving them a method to dispute the claim. If this was not enough, Twitch started taking fire from the other side with The Music Industry accusing Twitch of not obtaining the proper licenses and for not doing enough DCMA takedowns. In the letter to Amazon and Twitch, the signed accused Twitch of not obtaining the proper mechanical or synch licenses they feel are needed for use of the music in SoundTrack.  In the letter to Amazon and Twitch, the signed accused Twitch of not obtaining the proper mechanical or synch licenses they feel are needed for use of the music in SoundTrack.  Red - Tell us a little more about these licenses and what you found out when researching this article.Penalty on Twitch for Celebration?From the piece over at TABLEOC.COM- Twitch is testing a new feature titled Celebration. This new feature puts a button labeled “Celebrate” in between the follow and subscribe button. What does this button do? Well let me tell you. This button is like a donation button. It allows viewers to give money outside of bits and subscriptions directly to the streamer while displaying an explosion of confetti or fireworks on the broadcaster's stream. The streamer community is in uproar over this because Twitch is currently taking 50% of funds gifted to the streamer. Streamers do still have the option to use paypal and other methods of donations via services like streamelements. These however come with their risksWe will of course keep an eye on this program as it progresses through its beta stages and becomes a full fledged Twitch feature.Tighe -  How do you feel about taking 50% of this cut? They are taking the risk here I would imagine with charge backs. https://wrestlingheadlines.com/wwe-stars-closing-their-third-party-accounts-paige-blames-wwe-and-says-she-cant-deal-with-them-anymore-paige-wants-unionization-more-on-wwe-policy-changes AJ Styles took to Discord this afternoon and announced that he was suspending his “Stylesclash” accounts on Twitch due to WWE's new policy on unauthorized third party platform activity. Styles thanked his fans for the support and memories. He also said he will be leaving his Discord server up to keep in touch with fans for future happenings. “@everyone, I want to thank you for all the greatest memories on Mixer and Twitch,” AJ wrote. “I will cherish these memories and I love everyone of you that have made this possible and supported me. As many of you know WWE is making some changes that involve streaming. We will see what the future holds in that regard. Mia Yim (Reckoning of RETRIBUTION) announced on Twitter that her “ItsMeSYB” Twitch stream is also being pulled down, right before her scheduled gameplay with Jessamyn Duke. Paige got emotional during one of her Twitch streams this afternoon on her “Saraya Official” channel after finding out about co-workers shutting down their platforms. Paige continued texting, apparently with co-workers on her phone, and came back to the camera. She was more emotional as she went back to addressing her viewers. She then commented that she “cannot deal” with WWE anymore. She also blamed the company for over-working her, to the point that she suffered a career-ending neck injury. She also claimed she is looking into Unionization. Stump - What do you make of this sudden change as we now see these channels being shut down and not continuing under wwe's control?Gaming NewsCyberpunk 2077 Dev Responds To Death Threats Over DelayOur first story is frankly not shocking and that is sad. Developers of Cyberpunk 2077 have received death threats over their delay of the game by 21 days. From the game spot piece - RPG design lead Andrej Zawadzki said on Twitter that he understands why fans may feel angry or disappointed, but sending death threats is unacceptable. "We are people, just like you," he said.Much of the anger seems to have stemmed from a tweet sent by the Cyberpunk Twitter account, just one day before the delay announcement, promising no more delays. While many fans took it in stride as a somewhat embarrassing mishap for the repeatedly-delayed game, others claimed it showed CDPR had intentionally misled its fans.While the game has had its issues 21 days seems like a minor delay.Tighe - What can we do in the community to help battle this sort of madness? Deleting your Facebook account forfeits Oculus VR games you already paid for On to our last story. Back in August Facebook announced that Oculus users will be required to have an active facebook account to use the virtual reality system. The change went into effect earlier this month and now users have discovered a new stipulation to using the system. From the article at polygon“If at any point you decide to delete your Facebook account, you immediately forfeit your access to any games or VR experiences you purchased through the Oculus store.The gotcha was spotted last week, and began to surface first on Twitter, only to be confirmed Friday by the team at UploadVR.”“Deleting your Facebook account will also delete your Oculus information,” warns Facebook in the Deactivation and Deletion section of its iOS app. “This includes your app purchases and your achievements. You will no longer be able to return any apps and will lose any existing store credits.”Facebook has stated that this change faced a lot of inner opposition when announced.They also claim too many new features are tied into accounts and the infrastructure was too complex to change.Fox - How do you see this sort of thing affecting other services going forward? Dutch judge rules that EA should be fined €500k every week until it removes FIFA loot boxes The Netherlands Gaming Authority will be allowed to fine Electronic Arts €500,000 every week it sells loot boxes in FIFA Ultimate Team, after the feature was deemed in violation of gambling rules. The decision was approved by the court of The Hague on Thursday, following a lengthy legal battle between the Gaming Authority and EA.A weekly €250,000 fine will be charged against both EA and its Swiss subsidiary, which is responsible for the sale of FIFA, for a total of €500,000 a week.  According to NU.nl, the FIFA publisher had argued that the content of its FUT packs only had value within the game itself, as they could not be converted into money. However, the judge dismissed EA's objections on Thursday and ordered that if the company wants to avoid the weekly fine, it would need to disable loot boxes within three weeks. Entertainment News Netflix is making a live-action Assassin's Creed series In a bit of lighter news Netflix will once again dip from the video game well with their new live action Assassin's Creed series. From the Verge.com -The live-action show is still in early stages and in need of a showrunner. It's also unclear when it will take place or what it will be about; the franchise is known for combining historical settings with modern narratives and has tackled everything from the Crusades to Vikings.“From its breathtaking historical worlds and massive global appeal as one of the best selling video game franchises of all time, we are committed to carefully crafting epic and thrilling entertainment based on this distinct IP and provide a deeper dive for fans and our members around the world to enjoy,” said Netflix original series vice president Peter Friedlander in a prepared statement.Netflix has already found success in a live adaptation of another beloved game series, The Witcher, starring Henry Cavill. Following the first season, Netflix announced a six-part live-action prequel spinoff. The streaming service also revealed a live-action take on Resident Evil earlier this year.Tighe - Netflix did a great job with Witcher do you have the same hope for an assassins creed series?Apple One: Not even released and Spotify is already causing headaches“Our first story - Apple finds itself in hot water again over bundling their music service with other products offered by the tech giant. From the piece of at TableOC.com - With the announcement of the Apple One subscription service, Spotify quickly voiced their opinion on the new option.Once again, Apple is using its dominant position and unfair practices to disadvantage competitors and deprive consumers by favoring its own services. We call on competition authorities to act urgently to restrict Apple's anti-competitive behavior, which if left unchecked, will cause irreparable harm to the developer community and threaten our collective freedoms to listen, learn, create, and connect.Spotify has a history of launching complaints to the European Union over antitrust behaviors from Apple. What's Spotify's issue with Apple offering a better deal to potential customers? Spotify already believes that Apple intentionally makes it harder for end-users to select their premium music service when compared to Apple Music. Since Apple Music comes bundled on with Apple's device and is not limited by App Store rules, Spotify believes that this gives Apple Music an unfair advantage in competition. If you combine this with offering a discount by purchasing more services, you can see how Spotify might be a little nervous.”Fox - Can you give us some insight into why you think Spotify is making this move? TINY TOONS Will Return for a Reboot Series!  Tiny Toon Adventures was a staple of '90s childhood and for good reason. The hilarious cartoon followed a group of young cartoons attending Acme Looniversity to become the next generation of Looney Tunes characters. The Warner Bros. Animation and Amblin Entertainment series only ran for two years in its original run. Still, it left a huge impression on a generation of toon-lovers. Now, the characters are returning for a reboot series titled Tiny Toons Looniversity. Steven Spielberg is back as an executive producer for the show, along with Sam Register—president of Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network Studios—and Amblin Television co-presidents Justin Falvey and Darryl Frank. Erin Gibson will serve as showrunner and producer. The half-hour series was ordered for two seasons and will air on HBO Max and Cartoon Network. This follows recent announcement of an Animaniacs reboot, also produced by Spielberg but headed to Hulu. Missing from the names of people involved is famed batman writer and show Runner Paul Dini Stump - I don't know if you were into this show but I loved it as a kid. BOLD PREDICTIONS Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY)  made her Twitch Debut Tuesday night in historic fashion. Her Among Us stream peaked at 435k viewers right around the time of her first match.  This puts her broadcast among the top streams of all time coming in behind Ninjas largest stream of 600k when he played fortnite with rapper Drake in 2018. AOC had some help as well as she played along with Rep. Ilhan Omar and tops streamers like Pokimaine, Dr. Lupo, Disguised Toast among others.  AOC isnt the first politician to use Video games as a way to connect with her voters. Sen. Bernie Sanders joined twitch, Joe Bidens Campaign had its own Animal Crossing Island, and Hilary Clinton famously asked voters to “pokemon go to the polls”. All of these however have seemingly fallen short to what AOC managed to accomplish.  Daintiest - Do you think this is the future of campaigning and is it a good thing really? Twitch blasts streamers with vague, unhelpful DMCA takedown emails Twitch this week surprised many of its users when it sent out a huge batch of copyright takedown emails. These messages not only didn't tell streamers what supposedly infringing content they posted, but it also said that Twitch had simply deleted content outright without giving users a chance to appeal. Many Twitch "partners"—the folks who make actual money from their Twitch participation—received emails on Tuesday warning that some of their archival content was about to be deleted for violating copyright law. There is an option to fight these claims. This time around, though, users aren't getting that option. Twitch not only didn't actually tell users what infringing content was connected to their account—it just went ahead and deleted everything permanently anyway, according to the emails: Twitch said We recognize that by deleting this content, we are not giving you the option to file a counter-notification or seek a retraction from the rights holder. In consideration of this, we have processed these notifications and are issuing you a one-time warning to give you the chance to learn about copyright law and the tools available to manage the content on your channel.Deviant - We have talked on this show before about future deals twitch is making and now that their twitch music program has started, do you think this is compliance to try to grow their library? Cyberpunk 2077 Music Should Be Safe for Twitch Streams   People who plan to play and stream Cyberpunk 2077 are getting some good news: the game's official Twitter account announced today that all of the music in the soundtrack is completely original. This means that hopefully, Cyberpunk 2077 Twitch streamers won't get hit with copyright claims. Cyberpunk 2077 is finally getting released after being delayed multiple times, and there have been a few controversies around the game including its portrayal of transgender people and CD Projekt Red's treatment of its employees. Despite this, many people are excited for what looks like a very well-made and interesting game, and understandably there are already streamers lined up ready to play Cyberpunk 2077 on Twitch and YouTube. CD Projekt Red has been accused of violating copyright for music before, which may be another reason why the devs are being extra careful with the Cyberpunk 2077 tracks. A Croatian composer named Elvis Stanić accused the studio of stealing a song for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt last year. Music copyright claims are a common and tricky thing in the gaming industry, and many devs and streamers just want to steer clear of DMCA issues altogether Stump - It seems ridiculous to me streamers need to worry about music in a game that was licensed. What do you think? Gaming News Xbox Boss Phil Spencer On Series X Launch, Halo Infinite & Bethesda  In an interview with Kotaku, Xbox boss Phil Spencer discussed the future of the next gen consoles as well as the recent purchase of Zenimax/Bethesda.  Spencer had said in previous interviews that existing deals involving ZeniMax games would still be honored, suggesting that something like the time-traveling game Deathloop would still come first to PS5, as previously announced. When asked “Is it possible to recoup a $7.5 billion investment if you don't sell Elder Scrolls VI on the PlayStation?” Spencer answered YES.  He went on to say “This deal was not done to take games away from another player base like that. Nowhere in the documentation that we put together was: ‘How do we keep other players from playing these games?' We want more people to be able to play games, not fewer people to be able to go play games. But I'll also say in the model—I'm just answering directly the question that you had—when I think about where people are going to be playing and the number of devices that we had, and we have xCloud and PC and Game Pass and our console base, I don't have to go ship those games on any other platform other than the platforms that we support in order to kind of make the deal work for us.”  Deviant -  How do you feel about exclusives? Do you think his words hold much weight or is it just posturing? Brock Lesnar Has Been Added To Non-WWE Video Game Brock Lesnar has been added to the UFC 4 roster on the back of his contract with WWE expiring. The superstar hasn't appeared in a WWE ring for some time but fans who own the game will be able to get him to their screens, something which marks the first time he's appeared in a UFC game since 2014. Lesnar was a playable character in UFC 2009 Undisputed and UFC Undisputed 3. He was also on the cover of UFC Undisputed 2010. According to Wrestling Observer Radio's Dave Meltzer, Lesnar has signed a deal with either EA or UFC. "Brock Lesnar has been added to the new EA Sports UFC 4 video game, so that means he must have made a deal with UFC or EA for the game," Lesnar is currently a free agent and there's no word yet on what's next for him. A return to UFC is thought to be on the cards but it's generally believed that he will sign a new deal with WWE. Stump - Where do you think we are going to see Brock end up?Bold prediction 1 Video Game Streamers Should Pay Devs for Streaming Games, Says Vet  Video game industry veteran, Alex Hutchinson (Far Cry, Assassin's Creed), has sparked quite a controversy on Twitter after suggesting that streamers should pay developers and publishers for streaming their games and making money from them. Hutchinson – a former Ubisoft developer and currently a Google Stadia creative – ended up doubling down on his statements after being called out by his followers as well as fellow developers, leading to Google distancing itself from his tweets. Hutchinson wrote: Streamers worried about getting their content pulled because they used music they didn't pay for should be more worried by the fact that they're streaming games they didn't pay for as well. It's all gone as soon as publishers decide to enforce it. The real truth is the streamers should be paying the developers and publishers of the games they stream. They should be buying a license like any real business and paying for the content they use. Amazing to me that people are upset at someone saying that the creators of content should be allowed to make some of the money from other people using their content for profit. Dainty - His employer walked his statement back and said they understand the symbiotic relationship that exists. Do you think his opinion is the norm in the industry or an outlier?Entertainment News Jared Leto's Joker is joining Zack Snyder's Justice League director's cut  From the Verge, Just when we thought the drama surrounding Zack Snyder's Justice League couldn't get any weirder, it seems Jared Leto's.... controversial take on the Joker will be appearing in the director's cut of the 2017 superhero team-up when it hits HBO Max next year.   Leto, who infamously played the role of the Batman villain in 2016's Suicide Squad, is reportedly joining the ongoing reshoots for the new Justice League cut, according to The Hollywood Reporter. It's not entirely clear what role Leto's Joker will play in the re-edited film. Despite the controversy over Leto's edgy interpretation of the villain, the character has only had a minor role (at best) in the live-action DC films. The fact that Snyder appears to be using the reshoots (which will also reportedly feature Ben Affleck, Ray Fisher, and Amber Heard) for his own cut of Justice League to introduce an entirely new character to the story could indicate more substantial changes from both his original version of the film as well as the final theatrical cut that director Joss Whedon finished back in 2017. Deviant - We know Leto threw a tantrum and tried to have the Joaquin Phoenix movie shut down. Do you think that played into this decision? The Mediocre Rise and Inevitable Fall of QuibiThe Quibi mobile streaming service experiment has come to an end. Maybe you are like me and said Quibi whats that? Apparently we are not alone as they have decided to close their service down after just 6 months and 1.75 billion dollars spent.  From their interview in verge “There is any number of factors that can be pointed to in unpacking Quibi's demise: the launch of a mobile-only streaming service at the height of a global pandemic when users were stuck at home; the lack of any real breakout content that was compelling enough to tempt subscribers; or the fact that shortform video content has a nearly infinite amount of free competition in the form of YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms. Quibi itself is chalking up the lack of success because “the idea itself wasn't strong enough to justify a standalone streaming service or because of our timing.” The company will be notifying current subscribers as to the final date that they'll be able to access Quibi.” We dont really know at this point what they will do with the current show lineup as its possible they could be sold to another streaming service or Television Channel. Stump - Did anyone really expect this to work? Tim Burton's Bringing THE ADDAMS FAMILY Back to Television  In what feels like the most obvious pairing of creator and material in the world, Deadline is reporting that director Tim Burton is joining with Smallville executive producers Alfred Gough and Miles Millar to bring The Addams Family back to live-action television. Burton will not only executive produce the series, but it appears as if he might direct all the episodes as well. This new iteration doesn't have a home yet, but distributor MGM is fielding offers from Netflix, among other streamers.  This would be Burton's first venture into directing for television. The original '90s Addams Family movies are often mistaken for Burton films, despite Barry Sonnenfeld being the director. Nevertheless, Burton has flirted with the creepy and kooky family on more than one occasion. He received an offer to direct the original 1991 film, but he turned it down to do Batman Returns. In 2010, he began to develop a stop-motion animated Addams Family movie, similar to The Nightmare Before Christmas. But sadly, that never came to fruition. However, it looks like Burton will finally have his chance to show the world his take on Gomez, Morticia, and the rest. Dainty - I think the question on all our minds is who will play these iconic characters? Site Tracks Every Broken McDonalds Ice Cream Machine in US Earlier this year 24-year-old Rashiq Zahid created McBroken (which we first heard about at The Verve). The free website shows a map of every McDonald's in the country. A green dot represents those locales with a functioning ice cream machine. Red dots indicate a restaurant with a broken one. You can zoom in on the map to your part of the country to see which McDonald's closest to you can deliver on that sweet promise. The site also features a statistical breakdown of just how many machines are not operational at moment, including for some major markets. No question guys just thought that this man deserves a nobel peace prize BOLD PREDICTIONS I would bet Lesner signed a deal with EA and will end up signing with WWE again.

Yesterday, Dr Disrespect tweeted out a reveal video for his new skin in Rogue Company. The collaboration included a Dr Disrespect skin for Dallas, that reflects his likeness to an almost life-like degree. Furthermore, a map called The Arena is also available for everyone to play. Now that the skin is available for everyone to purchase at $20, there's really no telling how many players will be running around Rogue Company as Dr Disrespect. That is great news for Doc and his fans. However, it can make things complicated for Twitch, and Shroud believes it could lead to bans. There has been no official confirmation on the Dr Disrespect skin and how it might affect Twitch streams. As far as anyone knows, it isn't against the rules to use that skin on a stream, but it's also a permanently banned streamer being promoted on Twitch's platform. It's possible that Twitch could even add in some new rules for this specific Dr Disrespect situation, which has happened before, when Nadeshot and Crimsix were forced to stream with Doc and didn't mute him. Foxx- How do you see this playing out from Twitch? Twitch Studio adds chat overlay and countdown timer tools  Twitch has updated its livestreaming software with more features, which will give streamers more ways to make their broadcasts pop. With Twitch Studio, you can now copy and paste or duplicate layers or scenes so that you can make your stream's visual style more consistent. Let's say you usually place your webcam feed in the corner of the screen during your stream. If you want to position it in the bottom center for some games (i.e. to cover up the game code during an Among Us session), you can more easily create a scene with that single tweak and switch to it quickly mid-broadcast. There's also an option to add a chat overlay, so that messages from your community appear on-screen during your stream. Within the next few weeks, you'll be able to adjust the software's interface to your liking, simply by dragging panels from one place to another. A new timer and some tools to make it easier for console users to get up and running. Symphonic - This seems like a step in the direction but for a company that seems to neglect its affiliates why make tools for new streamers?THE GO LIVE SEGMENT Pokemon GO streamer has phone & car stolen while live on Twitch  Pokemon GO took the world by storm in 2016, as players from all over ventured outside of their homes to catch their favorite monsters. The mobile title developed by Niantic brought the beloved Nintendo RPG to real life for millions. Unfortunately, because the game takes place in the real world, unexpected things can happen – from fans assaulting each other over Gyms, to even murder. On October 8, a streamer's broadcast quickly turned violent after they were mugged, much to the horror of their audience. Anthony ‘xDeezzNutzx' was broadcasting live on October 8 when his Twitch stream was abruptly brought to a halt. The player was trying to catch a Croagunk when a stranger attacked him. The thief can be heard telling the Pokemon fan “The f**k wrong with you?!” after they tried to resist the theft. The GO stream then cut off after the criminal stole the player's phone. They also made off with his car. Stump - Once again someone is mugged during an irl stream. Is going out in public worth it?Gaming News https://www.tableoc.com/2020/10/15/does-the-ps5-ui-live-up-to-the-next-gen-console-hype/  PlayStation has finally revealed what they call a “pre-production” UI; as it might undergo minor changes when the console finally releases. One important thing to note is that the new PlayStation UI was built for 4k tv's from the ground up and thus the UI will be in 4k HDR at all times if your monitor can  support 4k and HDR of course. One of the new features that you are greeted with in the start of the video is the control center. It has a very clean look and allows you to access anything on the PS5 without having to exit your game, making it easy to check whether or not your friends are online simply, without the need to minimize the game. Interactive notifications are also new and these allow you to interact with a notification such as a voice channel request by simply tapping the PlayStation button. This removes the need to minimize games and having to scroll to the voice channel section, also if you didn't know the Dual sense controllers feature a built in mic and mute button making it even easier than ever to talk to your friends. Foxx - Playstation has seemingly made some great quality of life changes for their players. How are you leaning in the console war? PS5 Does Not Record Your Voice Chats, Sony Confirms  The recent 8.0.0 update for the PS4 introduced new functionality for voice chats in parties that will go live when the PS5 launches, and pop-ups alerted players can these chats "may be recorded." People naturally became concerned about this, and specifically regarding conspiracy theories about how Sony might be listening in. That isn't the case, however. The Ask PlayStation UK account said on Twitter, "We do not record party chats." The purpose of the recording functionality is to give people the ability to record chats and submit them for a moderation review. The feature is only available on PS5, but the pop-up notification that is appearing now is alerting PS4 users that when they are in a chat with a PS5 player, those recordings can be sent to Sony for moderation review. Symphonic - Are you buying this? What implications might this have for 2 party consent states?  Video gaming as a child related to improvements in memory  In a new study, which features in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, researchers from the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya in Barcelona trained volunteers to play “Super Mario 64” — a game that researchers have previously shown to induce structural changes in parts of the brain associated with executive function and spatial memory. The new study found that people who played video games as children showed greater improvements in their working memory than those who did not, suggesting that video games can have long lasting benefits for cognition. Stump - As 90s kids I feel like we should be rubbing this in a lot of parents faces.Entertainment News Dexter fans have mixed feelings on Showtime limited series revival As any fan of Dexter can attest to, the show has had many ups and downs. Despite starting off strong, its final season was universally hated by critics, and its lumberjack ending was mocked online for years. On October 14, Showtime surprised viewers when it announced that actor Michael C. Hall would be returning to play the serial killer once again in a new limited time series. Fans, however, are torn on the franchise getting a second chance. Many fans reacted to the news negatively, citing its final season and poor writing, such as a Twitter user that exclaimed, “hopefully he kills whoever wrote the last season.” Another fan agreed and criticized the show's previous showrunner: “If Scott Buck is involved, I won't be watching, frankly.” Red - Yet another series revival is upon us. How will this play out now that the fans seems to be turning on it from the get go? Reports claim Netflix's subscription prices could increase again soon While Netflix has some fantastic content, the company is also known for raising their prices every few years. What once was an simple, flat $8 subscription fee here in the United States can now range anywhere from $9 for the most basic membership to $16 for a premium membership. Because of this, it's unreasonable to assume the company would stop raising prices now, especially when Netflix is as popular as ever – and, just like always, consumers will more than likely be ok with it. Now, it seems like we might be on the cusp of yet another increase, according to one analyst and Deadline. Alex Giaimo says that he thinks the price jump will most likely hit Europe and will be an increase of $1 to $2 a month. That being said, an increase in America is not out of the question either, and it's currently unclear if there's a possibility of both areas of the world being affected. The one unknown in all of this is the timing. While Giaimo says that the increase will probably happen in the “near to midterm,” it's unknown exactly what that means. Could we be seeing an announcement within the next few weeks or the next few months? It's all up in the air. Symphonic - It feels to me like it's been awhile since a price increase and we have gotten a lot of quality originals. How do you feel about a possible increase? John Cena got married!  John Cena and girlfriend Shay Shariatzadeh secretly tied the knot on Mon., Oct. 12. In a great moment for dirt sheets everywhere, the story was first reported by PWInsider, but quickly confirmed by the likes of TMZ and E! The couple, who started dating in 2019 after Cena's headline-grabbing split with Nikki Bella, had a private ceremony in Tampa. It's the second marriage for the 43 year old WWE legend, and the first for his 31 year old Canadian bride. Shariatzadeh hails from Vancouver; the tech exec met Cena while he was in British Columbia filming Playing With Fire. Stump - Do you think people chanted cena sucks at his wedding?BOLD PREDICTIONS Dr. Strange wont have a part 3.Netflix will improve their series renewal record to above 25% next year from their single digit numbers. Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ladies and Gents how are you tonight?Streaming News Facebook Gaming will now allow partnered streamers to play copyrighted music This week  Facebook Gaming announced it is set to allow its partnered streamers to play copyrighted, popular music in the background of their live streams — which means they've seemingly solved the copyright problem that's plagued live-streaming (and basically the entire internet) since the beginning. In a press release, a spokesperson for Facebook Gaming put it like this: So, how's it work? Music played during a gaming broadcast must be a background element, not be the primary focus of the stream. For example, a streamer's voice and/or gameplay audio should be in the foreground. This also applies to clips made from a livestream, and the VOD version of livestreams, but does not extend to separately edited and uploaded VOD content.  the licenses Facebook has apparently negotiated do not include every track; some, mysteriously, are “restricted.” If streamers try to play those, they'll get a pop-up notifying them that the track they're playing isn't actually licensed for use on Facebook Gaming. Symphonic - This seems like a huge move by facebook to tap into Twitches growing command on streaming. What do you think Twitch will answer with? Twitch Removes Mid-Roll Ads After Negative Response  Twitch recently rolled out a new ad experiment where it placed mid-roll ads in people's streams. The ads would show up for some viewers during streams and would support the creators that people were watching, but the streamers themselves wouldn't have any control over the ads. The test went about as well as anyone would expect and has since ended with the mid-roll ads being removed from the streams in response to the negative feedback. They had this to say on twitter - Thank you for all of your feedback. We have completed the mid-roll ads test. Ads are an essential part of keeping Twitch freely available and we understand your concerns. We'll continue to work on ways to improve the viewer ad experience and give streamers more control. FullBump - Your thoughts on the ads and the backlash? AMC Networks & Twitch To Launch The Walking Dead Universe Live Streaming Channel  Expanding a hugely popular franchise, AMC Networks is launching a new channel on Twitch, The Walking Dead Universe, in partnership with the popular Amazon-owned live-streaming service. AMC said Thursday it will produce live original programming with fans able interact via Twitch, which started as a gaming platform but has expanded into all kinds of live streaming content with a strong social media component. TWDUniverse will start with around 12 hours of original content a week. “The Walking Dead has built one of the most passionate and engaged audiences on television, and we're thrilled to partner with AMC Networks to develop new ways for fans to experience this pop-culture phenomenon,” said Michael Aragon, SVP of Content at Twitch. “Today, television audiences want more from their viewing experience beyond the traditional 50-minute episode, and we're excited to partner with brands and networks in the future to expand this audience connection.” Stump - Its interesting they seem to be focusing on curated content. Would you like to see a channel that plays episodes 24/7?Gaming News Will the Xbox Series S hold back next-gen gaming? The biggest difference between the larger Xbox Series X and the Xbox Series S, apart from the size and design, is the GPU inside. The Xbox Series S has 4 teraflops of GPU performance, compared to the 12.15 teraflops on the Xbox Series X. The smaller console also has less RAM (10GB instead of 16GB) that also runs slower than the Series X. Other than that, the Series S runs the same Series X CPU at a slightly slower speed, and has 512GB of SSD storage instead of 1TB. Some of the changes Microsoft has made to accommodate a cheaper Series S console have created a lot of debate around whether this console will hold back next-gen gaming in general. “Really bummed about this RAM situation on the Series S,” said Axel Gneiting, a principal engine programmer at id Software, in a now deleted tweet. “This isn't easy to compensate and drags down base spec quite a bit for next-gen multi platform.” Symphonic - Whats your take on MS choosing to, according to some, holding back next gen graphics and hardware? Hogwarts Legacy is an open world Harry Potter game coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC Hogwarts Legacy is a new Harry Potter open world game releasing next year across all major platforms, Warner Bros. announced on Wednesday as part of Sony's PlayStation 5 price reveal live stream event. The game, developed by Disney Infinity developer Avalanche Software, is set in the 1800s at the iconic Hogwarts from the book series, but given its time period it will not involve playing as the series' titular character. In a press release, Warner Bros. describes the game as an “open-world, single-player, action role-playing video game set in the 1800s wizarding world,” where “players will experience life as a student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry like never before, as they live the unwritten and embark on a dangerous journey to uncover a hidden truth of the wizarding world.” The release says players will “grow their magical abilities by mastering spells, brewing potions and taming fantastic beasts,” adding that the game will include familiar locations like the Forbidden Forest and Hogsmeade Village. FullBump - This is a huge game announcement for next gen platforms. Why do you think in a world of online play they opted for a single player open world? The end of the 3DS marks an inflection point for portable gaming  Nintendo seems to have halted production on all variations of the Nintendo 3DS, marking the first time since 2004 that Nintendo is not producing any dual-screen portable systems. Back in 2017, Nintendo said explicitly that the newly launched Nintendo Switch wouldn't replace the 3DS. Since then, the company has repeatedly reaffirmed that continued support, saying as recently as last November that the 3DS would be supported into 2020. For now, the Switch Lite keeps Nintendo involved in the production of dedicated portable gaming hardware, a space it has dominated in an unbroken line since the 1989 launch of the original Game Boy. Outside of Nintendo, though, portable gaming continues to be dominated by the tiny computers practically everyone carries around in their pockets. Symphonic - Do you think we will see game makers start to make higher tier games for mobile devices?Entertainment News CONSOLE WARS Doc Explores Sega and Nintendo's Epic Battle  When I was growing up you were either Team Sega Genesis or Team Super Nintendo. I was a Sega kid. Now did that mean SNES fans were my mortal enemy? Yes, of course. They still are and always will be. That's just how it worked. You had to pick a side in the first truly great video game fight. And the epic story of that Sonic versus Mario showdown will be told in the new documentary Console Wars, coming to CBS All Access this month. “Console Wars takes viewers back to 1990 when Sega, a fledgling arcade company, assembled a team of misfits to take on the greatest video game company in the world, Nintendo. It was a once-in-a-lifetime, no-holds-barred conflict that pit brother against brother, kids against grownups, Sonic against Mario, and uniquely American capitalism against centuries-old Japanese tradition. For the first time ever, the men and women who fought on the front lines for Sega and Nintendo discuss this battle that defined a generation.” FullBump - Which side were you on during the console wars? Ewan McGregor Gives Update on Disney+ OBI-WAN KENOBI Series We covered a bit about OBI Wan on past episodes but now Ewan McGregor has given us an update about the new show. So far, it appears that the Obi-Wan show is a “one and done” standalone season. While speaking to Entertainment Tonight, McGregor said,”As I understand, it's a standalone season.” But he leaves open the possibility that there could be more when asked about a season two. “We'll see. Who knows?” It doesn't sound like he's permanently closing the book on Old Ben. As most Star Wars fans know, Lucasfilm originally conceived the Obi-Wan series as a feature film. But after Solo flopped at the box office, the studio decided to hold off on doing more standalone movies. Rumor has it that the Josh Trank Boba Fett movie simply morphed into The Mandalorian. And thus, the Obi-Wan movie became a series as well. Rumors became fact when Ewan McGregor finally confirmed the series on stage last summer at the D23 Expo. He even admitted he'd kept it a secret for nearly five years. Stump - its interesting to me that longer form entertainment like podcasts and series of shows seem to be replacing movies in the fandom sphere. What do you make of Disney opting to do tv instead of movies? Neil Patrick Harris Has Been Cast in THE MATRIX 4 — GeekTyrant  Neil Patrick Harris has officially joined that cast of director Lana Wachowski's The Matrix 4. There's no word on who he'll be playing, but it will be a main role. He will join the previously cast Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss, who will be reprising their roles of Neo and Trinity in the film. Yahya Abdul-Mateen (Aquaman) was also recently cast in the movie and he's rumored to be playing a younger version of Morpheus. Symphonic - With the news of Barney Stinson himself joining Matrix 4 it would seem that the movie will be….Wait for it….Legendary. What are your thoughts?BOLD PREDICTIONS  NPH will be the new face of the matrix I dont know id this pandemic will ever end but There will be a massive announcement in the field of medicine  about a successful new treatment regime in the next year for cancer most likely but for sure something that effects end of life more than beginning. I dont know why the next major lose will be but Betty white will make 100.

Tighefighter and GhostFighterX1. Boys how the heck are you? Streaming News Twitch staff accused of tricking streamer into promoting brands  Twitch streamers are speaking out against the broadcasting platform for attempting to promote brands within individual chats. Content creators are slamming the practice, especially since they have no control of removing the adverts from their channel.  “Creators beware! Twitch staff is now going around donating spare change in an attempt to trick you into shouting out brands without proper compensation. Don't fall for it,” The Black Hokage said. Twitch partner and viral streamer ‘negaoryx' responded: “Which is great, because we can't moderate anything said by Twitch staff in chat, so we can't even purge it… great…” There is a function that lets people ‘/Clear' their channels messaging log, which lets “broadcasters and chat moderators to completely wipe the previous chat history.” This feature doesn't apply to messages from Twitch staff accounts. Ghost - Do you think this is a twitch strategy or a rogue employee? Twitch seems to have picked up most of Mixer's streamers  Streamers seem to have flocked to Twitch from Mixer after the Microsoft-owned live-streaming service announced plans to shut down in June. A new report shows that Twitch's share of hours broadcast on major live-streaming platforms jumped up by over 14 percentage points this quarter, taking away the nearly identical just over 14 percent market share that Mixer previously held. That Twitch won out is particularly notable because Facebook made a serious effort to pick up Mixer's streamers. It partnered with Mixer to help streamers get set up on the new platform, and Mixer started advertising Facebook Gaming during its final month online. Mixer's website still forwards to Facebook Gaming today. Evidently, that wasn't enough to convince Mixer streamers to pick yet another underdog in the streaming space. “Hours streamed” is a useful metric for determining where streamers are spending their time, but it's not necessarily the metric that matters. These platforms are primarily competing for viewership, and in that area, Twitch actually lost some ground. The report now puts Twitch at 63.6 percent market share, down from 67.6 percent. That should be particularly concerning because both YouTube and Facebook Gaming grew this quarter; Mixer made up only 1.4 percent of hours streamed, so these services are growing at a faster pace than Twitch. Tighe - Why do you think the closing of mixer is benefitting twitch more than the promoted facebook gaming? Twitch streamer Erobb mortified after being sent poop from viewer Streaming is one of the most interactive forms of entertainment, as viewers can influence their favorite content creator's experience live during a broadcast. However, this format is also extremely attractive to devious viewers looking to troll streamers in front of their audience. That is what happened to ‘erobb221' when he was sent a bag of poop. The Twitch personality sank into his chair and put his hand over his face after holding the disgusting fanmail. His partner told him, “I'm going to the post office and closing the PO box tomorrow!” before scolding the troll who sent it. “We have a baby who could get sick from your dirty poop in a bag!” Erobb's viewers continued to tell him to open the item up to see what it smelled like. “I'm not opening this bag, Brittany! I'm not.” Later on, he told his audience that he refused to open the bag because he does not “condone” the prank. Dainty - Could we market poop in a bag?Gaming News Amazon has canceled Crucible, its free-to-play multiplayer shooter that had already been returned to closed betaAmazon has officially canceled Crucible, its free-to-play multiplayer shooter. It's the end of a rocky journey for the game, which was first launched in May after years in development before being put back into closed beta in July. “We very much appreciate the way that our fans have rallied around our efforts, and we've loved seeing your responses to the changes we've made over the last few months, but ultimately we didn't see a healthy, sustainable future ahead [for] Crucible,” the Crucible team said in a blog post. If you're in the closed beta, you'll still be able to play the game in some form for a short while. The developers will be hosting a “a final playtest and community celebration” in the next few weeks, according to the blog. Once that's done, matchmaking will be disabled, but you'll be able to play custom games (which are expected to be available in the coming days) until 3PM ET on November 9th. Ghost - What do you think this says about the state of the Amazon titles if they are shutting this game down almost immediately? Epic judge permanently restrains Apple from blocking Unreal Engine, but won't force Fortnite Fortnite won't be coming back to the App Store any time soon. On Friday, Judge Yvonne Gonzales Rogers refused to grant Epic Games a preliminary injunction against Apple that would force the game developer to reinstate Fortnite on the App Store, while simultaneously granting an injunction that keeps Apple from retaliating against the Unreal Engine, which Epic also owns (PDF). In other words, we now have a permanent version of the temporary restraining order ruling from last month. Today's decision still prevents Apple from revoking Epic's developer tools in a way that could have harmed its broader business. “Epic Games and Apple are at liberty to litigate this action for the future of the digital frontier, but their dispute should not create havoc to bystanders. Thus, the public interest weighs overwhelmingly in favor of Unreal Engine and the Epic Affiliates,” said the judge, keeping Epic's Unreal Engine business from being harmed. Tighe - In this latest development we are seeing a balanced approach by the judge. How do you feel this plays out? Sony Confirms PS4 to PS5 Save Transfers, Reveals Incompatible PS4 Games  In a new PlayStation blog post, Sony has elaborated on the upcoming PS4/PS5 compatibility features. As revealed in the Support Page, save data can be transferred from PS4 to PS5, but it will be a developer decision. Cloud saves are also available for PS Plus members, and PS5 customers will find that their digital library will transfer once accounts are synched. Streaming PS4 games to PS5 or PS Now will also be available, but will not benefit from a performance boost some PS4 titles will get when played natively on the PS5. On another note Sony is also discontinuing store support for older systems. Dainty - How do you feel about this backwards compatibility issue?Entertainment News ‘Green Lantern' Series Gets Greenlight at HBO Max, Seth Grahame-Smith and Marc Guggenheim to Write  HBO Max has given out a series order to “Green Lantern,” Variety has learned. Based on the DC Comics property, the show was first announced as being in development last year. Plot details are now available for the first time, however. The show will depict the adventures of a multitude of Lanterns, including Guy Gardner, Jessica Cruz, Simon Baz and Alan Scott — Earth's first Green Lantern,  and many more. The series will also include fan favorites such as Sinestro and Kilowog, and will also introduce new heroes to the ranks of the Green Lantern Corps. HBO Max has ordered 10 one-hour episodes. The series will be co-written and executive produced by Seth Grahame-Smith and Marc Guggenheim, with Grahame-Smith serving as showrunner. Berlanti Productions will produce in association with Warner Bros. Television, where Berlanti is under a rich overall deal. Guggenheim has taken part in many dc properties including show runner on ARROW. Ghost - Were you a fan of the arrowverse on CW? I am excited to see dc take another run at GL since the Ryan reynolds  Netflix is testing a feature that lets you switch off its annoying "still watching?" pop-up Netflix is testing a feature that I am referring to as a “sick day function” — an option to turn off that pesky pop-up that appears after watching three episodes in a row of something to ask if you're still watching. The new feature looks like it's been in testing for a while in certain regions, and a Netflix spokesperson confirmed to The Verge today that the feature is still in testing mode. Over the recent weeks, however, excitement over the feature has hit Twitter and TikTok. It is exciting! A box appears that asks if you're still watching or if you want to “play without asking again.” Hypothetically, if you're in the middle of rewatching Supernatural and don't want Netflix to interrupt you every three episodes, hitting “play without asking again” will allow you to binge to your heart's content. Tighe - I often feel personally attacked by Netflix for this feature. How do you feel about it going away? Kingdom Come: Deliverance Being Developed as Live-Action Series or Film   Variety reports that the project will be a collaboration between Warhorse Studios and Wild Sheep Content, with Barmack and Warhorse CEO Martin Frývaldský producing the adaptation, which will take the form of either a live-action series or film. Barmack and Frývaldský are said to be in the process of reaching out to potential writers and directors to expand the creative team. Barmack spoke about the adaptable nature of video game properties and the ways in which they can deliver "amazing, non-U.S. worlds that are locally relevant, but with a regional and global popularity that streamers are looking for as they become more and more global." "It's especially interesting that video games with heavy narrative, like The Witcher and Kingdom Come: Deliverance, are uniquely adaptable, and local but global all at once," Barmack said, referencing Kingdom Come: Deliverance, which was developed by Warhorse Studios and published by Deep Silver for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The Kingdom Come: Deliverance adaptation joins a growing slate of video game movies and TV series' that have been announced, planned, or are currently in production right now, including Amazon's Fallout TV series, Netflix's Cyberpunk 2077 anime, and Sega's live-action Yakuza movie, which is being produced by Erik Barmack, Roberto Grande and Joshua Long. Dainty - I really enjoyed the beginning of this game that I got to play. They went to painstaking lengths to make it historically accurate.

How are 2 of my favorite people this evening? Streaming News Twitch streamers outraged over new unban request feature From rude messages in chat to pesky spam, bans are there as a safety measure to counter it all. Once banned, there was no way for these accounts to annoy or harass streamers moving forward. That was up until today, at least. Twitch revealed a new widget on Sep. 30 that allows mods to go through ‘unban requests.' While it could prove useful for the odd occasion where an account is wrongfully banned, the announcement mainly went down like a ton of bricks. “Channel banned users can submit an appeal through the Chat column,” the Twitch Support post explained. Through this appeal, moderators can then “review and take action.” This gives pesky accounts a second chance at doing the right thing, but it also sets the stage for even more bother. Dainty- Many are saying this will lead to further harassment by trolls. What are your thoughts on this new tool? Twitch Streamer Has Been Live For Over 1,000 Hours Straight  While a lot of news regarding Twitch in 2020 is usually related to a new ban, things are changing up with a Twitch streamer getting a new record for the site. Twitch streamer GPHustla currently has the record for the longest continuous stream on the site. GPHustla's stream is currently clocked at over 1000 hours with the time still ticking up, as the stream is still ongoing as of September 28, 2020. The stream initially began as a 24-hour marathon stream, but it ended up going beyond original plans. The stream originally began back in August, making it well over a month since GPHustla's life has been out for the world to see. If GPHustla were to continue the stream up until his attempt with Guinness World Records, this original stream would clock in at well over 3000 hours. Jac - When will we see a Jacqie 24/7 stream channel? WWE reportedly taking control of all wrestler Twitch accounts  We talked a few weeks ago about wwe reportedly telling talent they needed to cease any outside activity using their likeness such as personal appearances or streaming. They have now shifted course by taking direct control of their accounts and only giving performers a cut of whatever profit they bring in.  Stump - How much do you think this will pay off for rival promotions as contracts finish up at wwe? Twitch's Soundtrack feature debuts today, and it will let streamers play music while they're live  Today, Twitch releases Soundtrack, a new product that allows streamers to play music while they're live — or, at least, that's the simplest way to explain it. If the product works the way Twitch says it does, Soundtrack will be much more than just a way to play rights-cleared music while you're broadcasting. It might change how you think about using music on Twitch entirely. Soundtrack separates the music stream into its own channel and broadcasts it simultaneously but, crucially, separately. That integration allows Twitch to automatically strip the music from the VOD of your live stream — because songs that are cleared for live use aren't necessarily also cleared for use in recordings — and at the same time allows the site to do a lot of cool platform-side things with the music itself. (In a word: it solves the desktop audio problem.) Jac - We all speculated recently about something like this coming from twitch when we talked about Twitch sings shutting down. What do you think of this new service?Gaming News Cyberpunk 2077 developer will force six-day weeks leading up to launch  Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red has told employees it will require them to work six-day weeks until the game's November launch, breaking a previous promise not to force compulsory overtime to finish the project. Originally announced in 2012, Cyberpunk 2077 has been delayed multiple times already - most recently from April to September, and then to its current 19th November date. "These last six weeks are our final sprint on a project we've all spent much of our lives on. Something we care for deeply. The majority of the team understands that push, especially in light of the fact that we've just sent the game to cert and every day brings us visibly closer to shipping a game we want to be proud of. "This is one of the hardest decisions I've had to make, but everyone is well compensated for every extra hour they put in. And, like in recent years, 10 percent of the annual profit our company generates in 2020 will be split directly among the team." Dainty - They have been working on this much anticipated game a long time. How do you feel about the broken promise here with the compulsory OT? Apex Legends crossplay beta starts with Aftermarket Collection Event  Apex Legends crossplay is officially coming on October 6, as part of the new Aftermarket Collection event. The event also adds a new event, and lots of new cosmetic content and challenges. Crossplay was confirmed for a Fall launch earlier in 2020, but this first rollout is technically just a beta, as Respawn tests all the features. Cross-progression isn't available at this time, but Respawn will talk more about this during the Steam launch later this year. The beta will be used to test functionality before a full crossplay launch. Players on all platforms can play with each other, but by default, console players will only play with other console players. “The centerpiece of this mode are Flash Points, massive zones dotted around towns in Kings Canyon. Flash Points are special because they regenerate your health and shields over time to get you healed and ready for combat in a flash ( ba dum-tss ). Learn where these are quickly because healing items do not spawn in this mode – Flashpoints are crucial to helping you stay alive.” Jac - As a seasoned apex player how are you feeling about the new mode and crossplay?Entertainment News Cobra Kai Renewed For Season 4, Season 3 Release Date Set For Early 2021  The Karate Kid sequel TV show Cobra Kai is renewed for season 4 at Netflix as the streaming service sets the season 3 release date. Cobra Kai picks up more than 30 years after The Karate Kid movie, following Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) - the villain in the original film - as he reopens the Cobra Kai dojo. Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) also returns, but the script is flipped, with viewers meant to root for Johnny this time as he's the underdog to the now-successful Daniel. The Cobra Kai TV show also introduced a new generation of karate kids training at the dojo, including Johnny's mentee Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña). Cobra Kai originally launched in 2018 on YouTube Red as one of the streamer's originals, but has since migrated to Netflix. Seasons 1 and 2 debuted on Netflix recently, and it was announced that Cobra Kai would return for season 3. Now it appears Netflix wants even more of Cobra Kai for the streaming service. Netflix announced Cobra Kai has been renewed for season 4, though a release window was not revealed. Further, the Cobra Kai season 3 teaser trailer was unveiled, confirming new episodes will hit Netflix on Jan. 8, 2021. Stump - Why haven't you watched this show yet?! Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Star Rick Moranis Attacked While Walking in New York City  While walking in the Upper West Side neighborhood of New York City, Rick Moranis was the victim of an unprovoked attack. Footage of the assault, which took place near Central Park just after 7 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 1., has been released by the NYPD, showing an unidentified male striking the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids star in the head with a closed fist and knocking him to the ground. The suspect, seen wearing an "I Love New York" sweatshirt, then fled the scene. The NYPD confirmed they are currently looking for him. Captain american said Chris Evans tweeted that his "blood is boiling." "Find this man," he urged on Friday, Oct. 2. "You don't touch Rick Moranis." Dainty - How dare they touch the king of the nerds! This seems like the knockout game or just some unruly youth. What do you make of it? Robert Zemeckis' The Witches: First Trailer and Images Released [Updated]  The release date for the reimagined version of Roald Dahl's The Witches has been revealed alongside a colourful new poster, and it will arrive on HBO Max on October 22. Warner Bros. has announced that Robert Zemeckis' remake will be flying into homes just in time for Halloween, as the movie is set to premiere exclusively in the U.S. on HBO Max on October 22. Feast your eyes on the first official poster for the remake up there As the Grand High Witch, Anne Hathaway is commanding attention on the red carpet at the centre of the one-sheet, with the secret society of witches (disguised as humans) looking on. Stanley Tucci also appears on the poster, as the hotel manager who unwittingly hosts the witches' convention, alongside Octavia Spencer, the tough but loving grandmother who will try to put a stop to the witches' evil plans. Jac - I dunno if you ever saw the original version of this movie but it was a favorite of mine as a kid. What is your go to scary movie or halloween type movie or show to watch in October?

How are you tonight?Streaming News Random streamers become one of the biggest Twitch channels overnight A strange Twitch account has rocketed up the followers standings after gaining nearly 5 million followers in one evening – with a few notable names following the channel in question. The channel in question, aileybeanssa, was set up back in 2018. so it's not like the casino channels that are set up hours before gaining the followers.   They have streamed pretty consistently too, gaining a few thousand followers before the explosion but on September 19, the channel jumped from 5,000 followers to 22,000 according to TwitchMetrics.  A day later, that number exploded to 4.63 million and risen to 4.64 million in the days following. The two girls behind the channel confirmed that they were botted and have tried to get in contact with Twitch. Though, it appears as if that has fallen on deaf ears.  Red_Foxx - We have seen twitch take action in the past against bots but in cases like this they tend to be unresponsive to cries for help. What do you think Twitch can do to better support their affiliate/partner streamers w bans/botting etc? Forsen explains why he doesn't try to be a successful Twitch streamer  Popular content creator Sebastian ‘Forsen' Fors has revealed why he does not focus on trying to grow his Twitch channel anymore when broadcasting to his viewers. He revealed that he no longer tries to become more successful at streaming, explaining that he now has a more laid-back approach. “Why? Because it's unfulfilling,” he explained. "This kind of job is unfulfilling when you try to succeed at it, you're better off doing what you want.” Forsen followed up by explaining that there was much more freedom to streaming without focusing on what will grow his channel, such as collaborating with other creators and playing the most popular games. He added that there was also less pressure with his approach to streaming, explaining that he was his own boss, “No one is your boss, your viewer count is not your boss, your sponsors are not your boss, your viewers, especially, aren't your boss.” Tighe - What is your take on this as someone who enjoys working on your channel? Twitch streamer robbed live during IRL broadcast  Twitch streamer 'HoshmandPlays' was broadcasting live while riding his bike in the Bronx area of New York City when an unknown assailant on a moped stopped and proceeded to rob him. on September 18 to Twitch streamer HoshmandPlays. While riding his bike in New York, a man on a moped stopped him and proceeded to shake him down for his belongings, leaving both he and his viewers in shock at what had just happened.  a man on a moped stopped Hoshmand and started asking him inaudible questions, before stating, "I can take all your s**t...Do you know who I am, bro?...I'll punch you." "I'm not gonna do that. I don't know what you want," the 17-year-old stated as he began to back away, to which the assailant responded, "All jokes aside though, I ain't even playing. Do you know who I am, bro? Real s**t though, the big guns, bro. Stop playing with me, bro." Stump - As we have seen in the past irl streams can tend to get out of hand. With things like this happening do you think it will discourage irl streams?Gaming News Doom Eternal is the first game to arrive on Xbox Game Pass following Microsoft's acquisition of ZeniMax  Following a teaser from the Xbox Game Pass team yesterday, Microsoft has announced that Doom Eternal is heading to the company's gaming subscription service. The 2020 sequel to the fantastic 2016 reboot will arrive on Xbox Game Pass for consoles on October 1st and will launch on Game Pass for PC later this year It's the first game to arrive on Xbox Game Pass from ZeniMax Media, which Microsoft announced it was acquiring earlier this week. ZeniMax is the parent company for several high-profile gaming studios, including Bethesda and id Software, Doom's developer. The deal will not finalize until 2021. Now that Microsoft owns all these gaming IPs, it makes sense that games not already on the service will eventually make their way to both platforms. Xbox head Phil Spencer confirmed that particular detail, noting in a blog post that the company “will be adding Bethesda's iconic franchises to Xbox Game Pass for console and PC.” Microsoft also confirmed that future Bethesda titles would release on Game Pass the same day they launch on Xbox or PC. Foxx - This acquisition is big news for xbox fans and anyone who subs to game pass. What sort of effect do you think it will have on the sales between MS and Sony? Amazon announces new cloud gaming service called Luna At its 2020 hardware event today, Amazon announced a cloud gaming platform called Luna. The news isn't too surprising: the service has been rumored since last year, previously codenamed “Tempo,” while an Amazon-made game controller leaked out just ahead of today's event. The service will be available for an “introductory price” of $5.99 a month during its early access phase, which gives subscribers the ability to play Luna Plus channel games across two devices simultaneously and offers 4K / 60fps resolution for “select titles.”  Players who subscribe to this channel will have access to their favorite Ubisoft titles in up to 4K resolution, mobile gameplay, and access to new titles when the channel launches like Assassins Creed Valhalla, Far Cry 6, and Immortals Fenyx Rising the same day they release. This is the first of multiple Luna game channels in development. Luna will also feature Twitch integration. “Inside the Luna experience, players will see Twitch streams for games in the service, and from Twitch, they'll be able to instantly start playing Luna games,” Amazon says. Games can be played either with a mouse and keyboard or a Bluetooth controller. To go along with this, Amazon also announced its own Alexa-enabled Luna Controller, which will cost $49.99 during the early access period. Tighe - Here we have yet another game store entering the fold. How is someone supposed to keep up with all these subs? Amazon Warns Xbox Series X Pre-Orders May Not Arrive on Time  When PlayStation 5 pre-orders went live, gamers made a mad dash to sites like Amazon to pre-order Sony's next-generation console. Not long after, Amazon warned that PS5 pre-orders may be delayed and not arrive on the November 12 launch day as expected. Now Amazon has sent out a similar warning in regards to the Xbox Series X, meaning some consumers, even with their pre-orders secured, may still have to wait a little longer than expected to play their next-generation console. Anyone that has pre-ordered a video game console through Amazon in the past will know that this is nothing new. But it doesn't necessarily mean that they won't get their Xbox Series X console on launch day. This message is more or less just a way for Amazon to cover its bases in case there are issues getting anyone their pre-ordered console. On a side note -  interestingly enough XBOX one series X sales spiked due to peoples inability to read or comprehend during their pre-orders which this host finds hilarious. Stump - Are you surprised to see demand outpacing supply already early on in this new gen console war?Entertainment News Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury will reportedly return in new Disney Plus series  Samuel L. Jackson is reportedly returning to the Marvel Cinematic Universe — but this time, he'll be taking on a starring role in a new Nick Fury TV series for Disney Plus. Details are slim on the project — reported by both Variety and Deadline — which is still in the early stages and has yet to be formally ordered to series. Kyle Bradstreet, best known for his work as a writer for Mr. Robot, is also said to be on board the project as a writer and executive producer. Jackson has played the role of the leader of super-spy agency SHIELD in the MCU films since the original Iron Man was released in 2008. Appearances by Jackson as Fury have been a key part of the connective tissue between the various films in the expansive film franchise, with Jackson's appearances used to bring characters together or tease upcoming movies in post-credit scenes. The new Disney Plus series would mark the first time that Jackson has filled the lead role for a Marvel series and could see the actor play a similar role in tying together the various TV series planned for the service. Red_Foxx - What does Marcellus Wallace look like? Lol What's your take on this new show? Twitter Asking Users to Read the Article Before Retweeting Twitter has announced plans (which we heard about at Mashable) to expand a pilot program it launched with select users back in July. It's a small approach and trying to curb a major problem. Before someone can retweet an article, a prompt will appear asking the user if they have in fact read the article they are about to re-share with their followers. At first this might sound like a silly method. But the stats Twitter shared from the test run of the program show it did make a difference. It altered, for the better, the actions of a significant percentage of users. - 40% more people opened the article after seeing the prompt-33% more opened their article before retweeting it-some people didn't share it at all after reading the article I find the last point interesting because I wonder how many just didn't bother because of the extra step not because of the content. Tighe - What do you think this is a good or bad step against FAKE NEWS? Pizza Mascot Chuck E. Cheese Jumping to Movies and Cartoons  For over forty years, the Chuck E. Cheese's pizza parlors have entertained rowdy and hungry kids all over America. The combination of pizza, ice cream, video games, and singing animatronics in a kid-centric restaurant chain was a genius mash-up. And it was the brainchild of Atari co-founder Nolan Bushnell. Although good ol' Chuck isn't quite as ubiquitous a rodent as Mickey Mouse, we'd wager most American kids are very familiar with him. Now, they may be about to become even more familiar, as Chuck E. Cheese is getting ready to star in both live-action movies and animated TV shows. Stump - This seems like a smart move since I am sure Chuck has been affected heavily by the Rona don't you think?BOLD PREDICTIONS I cant tell you anything about technology as usual In the not so distant future nintendo will release a mid series console for the switch!

With over 30,000 followers on the Amazon-owned platform, Fleeksie labels herself as the “world's most pointless Twitch streamer.” While she dips into a variety of games here and there, she's most often found in the Just Chatting category, watching videos and keeping up with her chat. stop going into people live streams and asking "how are you" we live. we streaming. other people are watching. the room is not on fire. things are ok. just comment on whats happening. ask someone else in the chat how they are doing if you want small talk everytime i say "im good how are you" i feel a little puke in the back of my throat rise up. its actually painful responding to that question while ik other people who been watching for 45 mins heard me say it 36 times to all the people before you came up in here with your small talk Dainty - How are you? https://www.tableoc.com/2020/09/10/ninja-is-back-exclusively-on-twitch/  After a months-long period of “will he or won't he” with two determined suitors, Twitch and YouTube, streaming megastar Tyler “Ninja” Blevins has announced that his post-Mixer streaming return will happen “only” on Twitch. Last year, Blevins signed an exclusive deal with Microsoft-owned streaming platform Mixer. In June, Microsoft abruptly announced that Mixer had reached the end of the line and encouraged streamers and viewers to move over to Facebook instead. Blevins was reportedly offered a Facebook deal that nearly doubled his multi-million dollar Mixer deal, but he turned it down. Now, months later, he's back where he started: on Twitch. Full - Why do you think the change of heart for Ninja?Gaming News Twitch brings custom esports competitions to streamers in closed beta  Twitch and esports go together like a dusting of salt on top of a chocolate chip cookie: the sweetness of victory etc., tempered by the saltiness of defeat. Today, Twitch launches Versus — a suite of competitive tools that will let creators on the site organize and manage their own tournaments — which promises to bring those agonies and ecstasies to any streamer who feels like pubstomping their community. While the feature is in closed beta for now, collegiate esports leagues, game devs, and Twitch Rivals competitors (along with some other Twitch streamers) will have access starting today. There is a waitlist you can join if you're interested in trying out Versus for yourself. Dainty - This seems like a great step for both e-sports and Twitch as a whole. What do you think about this move? Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake brings the classic back for Xbox One, PS4, and PC  Ubisoft is bringing back one of its most legendary games with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake, a modern version of the classic action-adventure game set for release on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC on January 21st, 2021. The company says that the new version of The Sands of Time is emphatically Ubisoft's first full-fledged remake, not a remaster or reboot. Ubisoft Pune & Ubisoft Mumbai rebuilt the original game from the ground up using Ubisoft's modern AnvilNext Engine, complete with new motion capture animation, new assets, and some adjustments to the gameplay for modern audiences. The Sands of Time Remake still strongly resembles the original, though, with the same storyline and gameplay. Don't expect a full-scale reimagining like the recent Final Fantasy 7 Remake. That said, the company is promising that it has enhanced the camera controls and combat system with the aim of improving on those aspects from their 2008 iterations. FullBump - Are you like me? I have never played this series at all and am actually kind of excited to try an older classic.Entertainment News MGM Is Developing a ROBOCOP Prequel Series That Focuses on a Young Dick Jones  I've got some exciting news for all you RoboCop fans out there! MGM is developing a prequel series that will focus on the life of a young Dick Jones. I'm sure you all remember the villainous and corrupt Senior Vice President of Omni Consumer Products, who at the end of the original movie, ended up blown away by RoboCop epically shooting him out of a boardroom window! Such an awesomely classic ‘80s movie death. There is also a new sequel for the original film that's in development, which is based on the original plans from RoboCop screenwriters Ed Neumeier and Michael Miner. Neill Blomkamp was originally attached to direct, but after he dropped out he was replaced with Abe Forsythe (Little Monsters). When talking about the ideas that they are playing with, Neumeier goes on to say: “There's the idea of doing things about business and law enforcement in the city of Detroit a minute-and-a-half in the future, it would be a way to do all sorts of stories about business and tech, Silicon Valley, corporations, snakes in suits, cops, all that. It's a wonderful rich tapestry. “So we've been talking about it and I think we have an interesting story. It's fun to work with a younger version of the Dick Jones we meet in RoboCop. He's an actualised corporate predator [in the move] but nobody necessarily starts out being the bad guy. Daintiest - In the wake of the popularity of retro synth music/future retroism this seems like great timing for a show like this. What's your take? THE WALKING DEAD Will End with an Extended Season 11 The Walking Dead's upcoming 11th season will be its last. Season 11 was originally set to air this October in line with the show's normal Fall TV cycle. However, the coronavirus pandemic means fans will only get the season 10 “finale” this year and Season 11 in 2021. Now, the upcoming season will be expanded from the 16-episode norm to a whopping 24 episodes over the course of the next two years. This means the series finale will take place in 2022. It's sad news for a lot of long-term and dedicated viewers. But Daryl Dixon and Carol Peletier fans won't have to say goodbye to their faves forever. The aforementioned Deadline report reveals that actors Norman Reedus and Melissa McBride will go on to star in a Walking Dead spin-off series. The Daryl and Carol adventure will debut sometime in 2023. It would also be a spoiler for their future if it wasn't so obvious that they are basically unkillable at this point. FullBump - It's kind of crazy to think something that has been a TV and nerd culture staple is coming to an end. What are your thoughts and how do you feel about the spin off announcement?BOLD PREDICTIONS - Brought to you by the Tighe UpI cant tell you what the next must watch tv show will be but The mandalorian will have higher ratings than its first season while the Witcher will not. I cant tell you if anything will beat titanic but Wonder Woman 2 will have the top box office numbers of all the current justice league lines.  I cant tell you if anything will ever beat super mario but Assassin's creed will get a lot of blowback for leaving its roots. I cant tell you what was crossing Peter Quill's mind at “that” moment  butThor will be the first marvel solo with a 5th installment.Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Gentlemen how are you tonight?Streaming News Twitch responds to $25m lawsuit about "suggestive" female streamers  In June, frequent plaintiff Erik Estavillo filed a lawsuit against Twitch, demanding damages due to claims that the platform had made him suffer through medical problems related to sex addiction, because of the content and algorithms on the site. Specifically, Estavillo listed the names of female Twitch streamers he sought to be permanently banned from the platform, arguing that they violated the platform's own community guidelines. The lawsuit, which was, at points, extremely descriptive, received widespread coverage for its complaints, especially because of the high-figure that was requested in damages. In a response, filed on August 18, Twitch's lawyers have asked for the complaint to be struck under Anti- SLAPP laws. Anti-SLAPP laws are intended to protect businesses and individuals from essentially baseless legal proceedings. Typically, these are suits only intended to be costly or time-wasting for the defendant, rather than actually seeking victory for the plaintiff. Symph - What do you think about this guys claim against Twitch? Cheaters Live Streaming Warzone And Fortnite On Twitch  Cheaters, hackers, and players who use different mods to play games are plaguing the gaming scene. From Fortnite to Call of Duty Warzone, these cheaters are everywhere. Recently, we witnessed how they are getting more brazen every day. For instance, some set up their cheat mods while live-streaming! This has led to the entire community vocally striking down on game developers and their anti-cheat policies. Epic Games, Infinity Ward, Riot Games, they are all big names and everyone expects them to encourage fair play. We have seen Esports crack down on cheating as well in recent months. Stump - What position do you think Twitch should take against hacking/cheating if any at all?Gaming News How to watch Elon Musk's Neuralink demo at 6PM ET / 3PM PT  Amid the search for a COVID-19 vaccine and launch of a new Mars rover, there is yet another technological breakthrough on its way — at least, according to Elon Musk. Today at 6PM ET, his company Neuralink will demonstrate what may be one of the first “ultra-high bandwidth brain-machine interfaces to connect humans and computers.” Apparently, Neuralink is looking to connect to the human brain using flexible electrodes thinner than a human hair.  Stump - What sort of implications do you see for this with gaming in the future? TimTheTatman explains why Fall Guys is such a phenomenon  The internet rallied around TimTheTatman as the hugely popular Twitch streamer tried and failed, and failed, and failed again to take the crown at the end of a match of Fall Guys last week. When he finally did it, it felt like the whole world had won — a small, strange reprieve in the middle of a stressful summer. It's a really simple and easy game to understand,” he said. “It's three buttons. In Fortnite, there's lots of buttons and stuff happening. Fall Guys is pretty simple. You just jump and dive and try not to fail.” The fact that it's so simple to follow along with makes it “fun and easy to watch” as streamers play. Fall guys is also the most downloaded ps plus game of all time. Symphonic - Where do Fall Guys go from here? How do they keep people engaged?Entertainment News https://www.tableoc.com/2020/08/28/black-panther-star-chadwick-boseman-dies-at-43/  Chadwick Boseman, the actor best known for his starring role in Black Panther, has passed away at 43. He had been fighting a four-year battle with colon cancer. The news was reported by the AP and then confirmed on Boseman's Twitter account, which states that he was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016. Over the last four years, it progressed to stage IV. Boseman is best known for his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, having debuted as T'Challa in 2016's Captain America: Civil War. But his credits extend back to the early 2000s, with roles on shows like Law & Order, Third Watch, and CSI: NY. In 2013, he starred as Jackie Robinson in 42, a well-received biopic about the life of the first African American player in Major League Baseball. No real question here, just wanted to pay respects to a great actor. Thoughts and prayers go to his family. Netflix is making an original live-action Resident Evil TV series  Netflix has announced a new live-action TV series based on the Capcom's popular Resident Evil series of video games that will be produced by Constantin Film, the same company that made the previous six Resident Evil films starring Milla Jovovich. The upcoming series will feature an original story set within the world of the Resident Evil, set across two timelines. The first will see sisters Jade and Billie Wesker (presumably of some relation to longtime series antagonist Albert Wesker) move to the corporate town of New Raccoon City at age 14, before realizing the destination and their father “may be concealing dark secrets.” Andrew Dabb — who had previously worked as a writer and co-executive producer on Supernatural — will serve as the showrunner, executive producer, and writer for the eight-episode series, with Bronwen Hughes (a director best known for her work on The Walking Dead, Breaking Bad, and Better Call Saul) set to direct the first two episodes of the series. Stump and Symph - are either of you a fan of the series and what do you think about this news?BOLD PREDICTIONS - Brought to you by the Tighe UpIf you would like to enter a topic for a bold prediction or tell me why im wrong email us at tocpodmail@gmail.com.I dont know what the next popular game will be but i can tell you fall guys will fall of the map by the end of the year.Id like to handle this next prediction with a little more respect and decorum.  After Chadwick Boseman's sad passing I believe marvel will at some point recast the black panther. I think Marvel will find it important to keep this character present in their future plans and we know they had big plans for him as it was with BP 2 slated for 2022. I dont know when the machines took over but i do know that Elon Musk is going to be accused of “trying to start the matrix” or that he is “trying to become the thought police”. I dont know what the outside world looks like at this point but i can tell you that there will be a spike in agoraphobia cases in the near future as a result of covid. Remember folks right or wrong, and make no mistake about it, I will be right and you wrong, we love you all and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it! Plug your stuff.Zazzaboo plug the site, Pod etc Thanks and we will see you next week!★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Gentlemen how are you tonight?Streaming Newshttps://www.tableoc.com/2020/08/19/pokimanes-apology-video-splits-twitch-streamers-and-youtubers/Late last month, drama-baiting YouTuber LeafyIsHere stirred up an internet-wide fuss over the idea that Imane “Pokimane” Anys, the most popular female streamer on Twitch, might have a boyfriend. It was the most recent evolution of a long-running line of thought: women on the internet keep their dating lives secret to fool gullible men into giving them money. Yesterday, Anys posted an apology video in response to the boyfriend drama, as well as a great many other things. Now it's been disassembled, shoved under a microscope, and fed back into the drama machine.Her over 16 minute apology video ranged a wide variety of topics and spanned back several years. From her use of racials slurs as an edgy teen to more recent eventsShe had this to say “I personally made the decision seven years ago or whenever I got into streaming that I don't want my personal life to be part of my content,” Anys said. “For me, this also creates a healthier divide between my work life and personal life, which is an area where the lines are already pretty blurred. I understand that some people could relate this to donations, but you could also argue that one can make a lot of money by publicizing the relationship or making content out of it. Neither of these things are wrong at all… I personally want to be able to experience my relationships without the scrutiny of an online audience. If you disagree, that's totally alright. You don't have to support me or my content.”Foxx - “how do you feel about Pokimane feeling the need to make amends for keeping her personal life private?”https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/pewdiepie-wins-hilarious-bet-against-dr-disrespect-in-fall-guys-showdown-1406498 To finish out his first full week on YouTube, Dr Disrespect challenged PewDiePie to a showdown in Fall Guys. Combined, the two stars brought in over 340k viewers who tuned in to watch them duke it out in the battle royale.While Doc got off to a rocky start in their best of five contests, the streamer became neck and neck with the Swedish creator. However, his attempt to troll Pewds by grabbing onto him backfired which resulted in him getting eliminated.Pewds ended up coming out victorious in the end, narrowly beating the 38-year-old 5–3 in the final round. To punish the popular streamer, the Swede made him watch his most disliked video on his channel.Deviant - How do you feel about this meeting of the Mega Powers on youtube?

In the four-part thread, Sweeney says the fight isn't about money. Rather, he says Epic is fighting for “the basic freedoms of all consumers and developers.”“At the most basic level, we're fighting for the freedom of people who bought smartphones to install apps from sources of their choosing, the freedom for creators of apps to distribute them as they choose, and the freedom of both groups to do business directly,” Sweeney tweeted. “The primary opposing argument is: ‘Smartphone markers can do whatever they want.' This as an awful notion. We all have rights, and we need to fight to defend our rights against whoever would deny them. Even if that means fighting a beloved company like Apple.”Fox - This seems like they are directly playing on the emotions of consumers. What have you found in your research on this topic?Entertainment Newshttps://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/ben-affleck-set-to-return-as-batman-in-flash-solo-movie-1408855 Despite the fact that the actor previously confirmed that he was done with the Caped Crusader, Ben Affleck is now apparently set to return to the role of Batman in the upcoming Flash solo movie.Something must have changed his mind though, as the actor is now set to star as Bruce Wayne/Batman once again in the upcoming Flash solo movie, according to a new report by Vanity Fair.The character will apparently have a major role in the upcoming movie, which is an adaptation of the most famous Flash storyline "Flashpoint". According to the director, the relationship between Barry and Bruce will be a substantial part of the movie.Deviant -  With Robert Patinson also playing the Dark Knight, Can you think of another time we have had 2 active Batman Actors?

So far, it looks a little different depending on who's using it and what device you're on. (A Verge writer said the feature didn't show up on Roku.) Netflix appears to be testing different methods, including a “shuffle play” button upon login or another in the menu sidebar.The shuffle feature appears to be a play on the “because you watched” aspect of Netflix. The choices are based on previous content viewed, meaning you likely won't get something totally random–but you also won't get something you've seen before.We have had this feature for a few weeks and I have noticed that there is no way to pick a random episode of a specific series. This seems like an oversight to me.Fox - What is your take on this new feature and what else would you like to see?BOLD PREDICTIONS - Zazz introduceBrought to you by the bold taste of diet Nothing... cuz we don't have a sponsor. Now available at every retailer.

Now, the streamer has shared just how remarkable his return stream was in statistics. Although his move to Mixer in 2019 was a lucrative one, it didn't bode well for his average viewership. In fact, the move was so detrimental to his viewer count that he was only getting around 1/3 of his viewership from Twitch. .By the time he did appear on camera (new beard in tow), he was creeping towards half a million concurrent viewers. Although it's not quite the record (this is still held by Ninja with over 600,000), it wasn't far off. Shroud flexed his stream stats on Twitter after the broadcast: Rogue: What do you make of his numbers vs what we saw from Ninjas return?  Amazon Renamed Twitch Prime to Prime Gaming, but Whatever, Call It What You Want   Twitch, the company is officially rebranding the Twitch Prime subscription service to Prime Gaming. Despite the name change name, Prime Gaming is mostly staying the same. You'll continue to get perks like free in-game loot and cosmetics Prime Gaming access is available to anyone subscribed to Amazon Prime,but I have to wonder if the change in name could be a move towards making Twitch Prime a separate subscription.

This comes after the devs added a direct payment option for V-Bucks, which violated the tech giant's policies. Early on August 13, Epic surprised players by providing them with a direct payment option in Fortnite on iOS and Android devices. Experts in the games industry speculated that the move could be in violation of Apple's polices. Epic Games has since filed another lawsuit, this time against Google following Fortnite's removal from the Google Play app store as well. At roughly 4PM PT, Google opted to remove Fortnite from the Google Play App store. Just hours later, Epic filed a secondary lawsuit following the original case against Apple earlier in the day. The original story is as follows. Daintiest do you believe Epic has a shot at winning this battle? https://www.tableoc.com/2020/08/13/dead-by-daylight-cross-play-is-now-live/   Dead by Daylight has now introduced cross-play, letting you survive the horror game with friends across PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC. This follows Behavior linking up the Steam and Windows 10 communities with cross-play. According to the announcement, this also came alongside cross-friends functionality, letting you keep one unified friends list. The studio had previously mentioned cross-progression on Stadia in September. Cross-play or progression doesn't appear to be in the cards for the mobile version.

The dimwitted best buddy of SpongeBob SquarePants is getting his own spinoff, The Patrick Star Show, which is still in early stages of development at Nickelodeon.. The new show will explore more about Patrick and his family, and the perennially unemployed Patrick might even find a job. According to Deadline, the new show will feature Patrick hosting a late-night talk show. There's no date yet for the show's premiere. Daintiest on a scale of 1 to 10 what is your hype level for this show? https://www.tableoc.com/2020/08/10/tron-3-with-jared-leto-finds-director/   Tron 3 is currently in development at Disney, it hasn't yet been given an official greenlight by the studio, so there's no guarantee the new movie will actually see the light of day. Still, ten years after the release of Tron: Legacy, a followup is looking more and more likely. Word of a Leto-driven Tron movie first surfaced in 2017, with The Hollywood Reporter indicating the film would be a franchise reboot rather than a direct sequel to Legacy. Leto is reportedly playing a new character named Ares, one who is said to have been a key part of the abandoned Tron 3 script. That could imply the reboot is still part of the same universe as the previous two films, but it's unclear if characters like Garrett Hedlund's Sam Flynn or Olivia Wilde's Quorra will return. Unfortunately, Tron himself likely won't be appearing, as Bruce Boxleitner confirmed he's “done” with the franchise. That said, Boxleitner did reunite with his original Tron costume earlier in 2020 for Disney+ series Prop Culture.

Today, Beahm streamed for the first time since getting the big, purple boot from Twitch—now on YouTube. He was met by 500 thousand concurrent viewers.a lot of questions. “In regards to the ban, there's a lot of people who want to know what happened,” he said during the stream. “Guess what: I want you to look me in my fucking eyes when I say this; I really want you to look me in my eyes when I say this. We still have no idea. We have no idea. ‘Yeah, right dude, I'm not buying that one.' Bunch of phonies. We have no idea. And I'm gonna tell you this right now: As far as I'm concerned, we didn't do anything to warrant a ban, let alone how they ended up banning us. No communication before. No reaching out. Boom.

Pokimane announces extended break from streaming and social media  the streamer has been a subject of contention lately, after angry fans expressed dismay that she was keeping her relationship under wraps — but that doesn't seem to be the reason as to why she's taking a step back from the camera. The streamer explained that her decision was brought about by burnout, claiming that the quarantine has shut down conventions and ways for her to see her fans, which are “joys and motivation for making content.” “This has led to me feeling burnt out for quite some time, and because of that, I've been planning to take a month off,” she explained. “I haven't taken a month off since I graduated from high school over 6 years ago, and I feel long overdue for some time away from my career and online expectations.” Oasis - Which story do you think is true?

Rockstar's last entry in the franchise has since become the third best-selling video game of all time. It's no surprise that avid fans of the series have been eagerly anticipating the next-gen follow up. ‘Vector Hold' is described as an “80's Electro Synth project,” on Twitter. Led by musician Peter Bryan Rice, this account claims a wide array of Synthwave artists have been approached by Rockstar. “Music rights clearing people have been hitting up Synthwave artists for a Radio Station,” a deleted August 5 tweet said. Rockstar has allegedly been looking to secure an array of 80's music, potentially hinting at the setting of GTA VI. Lots of speculation but That didn't stop the Vector Hold account from throwing in its two cents, however.  “GTA VI will most likely take place in Vice City,” Symphonic - What do you make of the tweets? Ninja Returns To Twitch For First Time In Nearly A Year Ninja is back on Twitch, and he's received a raucous response from viewers. Over 100,000 viewers tuned in to watch Ninja play Call of Duty: Warzone with Lupo. At one point, 60,000 viewers were tuned in at the same time. It marks his return to the platform after partnering with Microsoft and Mixer last August.

The FBI has just played its hand -- partially -- and revealed the raid is somehow in connection with Jake getting arrested in Scottsdale during a George Floyd protest. The FBI tells TMZ, "The FBI is investigating allegations of criminal acts surrounding the incident at Scottsdale Fashion Square in May, 2020." Symphonic - This seems to be a pretty big deal for there to be armed raids like this for a celebrity. What do you make of this? Mario Lopez Says the SAVED BY THE BELL Revival Is 'Edgier and Hipper' This Time Around  The series ran for four seasons, then spun-off into the College Years series, a couple of TV movies, and even a New Class series with a new cast. But the show has lived on in syndication and is still a beloved series to those who grew up with it, which brings us to the revival series we are eagerly awaiting that is headed to the NBC streaming service, Peacock.  The new Saved By The Bell will bring back a few of the original characters and introduce a group of new Bayside High students to the world.  Synopsis “When California governor Zack Morris gets into hot water for closing too many low-income high schools, he proposes they send the affected students to the highest performing schools in the state – including Bayside High. The influx of new students gives the over privileged Bayside kids a much needed and hilarious dose of reality.” Oasis I know you had to watch this show are you as excited as I am about a governor Zack Morris?Florida Man - Brought to you by The Tighe Uphttps://krebsonsecurity.com/2020/08/porn-clip-disrupts-virtual-court-hearing-for-alleged-twitter-hacker/  The incident occurred at a bond hearing held via the videoconferencing service Zoom by the Hillsborough County, Fla. criminal court in the case of Graham Clark. The 17-year-old from Tampa was arrested earlier this month on suspicion of social engineering his way into Twitter's internal computer systems and tweeting out a bitcoin scam through the accounts of high-profile Twitter users. When it became clear the judge was controlling the settings of the call and it was open things started to get disruptive. What transpired a minute later was almost inevitable given the permissive settings of this particular Zoom conference call: Someone streamed a graphic video clip from Pornhub for approximately 15 seconds before Judge Nash abruptly terminated the broadcast.

They choose a popular streamer, one that would attract a sizable audience and have sponsors capable of providing giveaways. Then they register a Twitch account with a name that is as close to theirs as you can possibly claim. Next, they copy their avatar, details from their profile page, and then download footage of one of their streams using a program like Twitch Leecher. They then create an overlay that says you can get free prizes, typically skins, as part of one of their sponsors' giveaways and that you just follow the link to an external site. The article is interesting because it goes on to bash detractors on both sides, making fun of corporate shills who will defend twitch for doing nothing  and also trashing “reddit edgelords” for defending the attempts saying if you are too stupid to realize you are being scammed too bad. Twitch could be doing a lot more to stop this. You may recall when Valve's doomed card game Artifact sank to the point where you could fit all of its active players in a phone booth. (showing Christchurch shooting on loop, scams, etc)Twitch shut down new creators from streaming to the category and took legal action where warranted against egregious offenders.  Red - What can twitch do about this in your opinion? I think this is already against tos. Pokimane reveals insane costs of being a top Twitch streamer For many, Pokimane has been one of the faces of Twitch over the last few years.

It marks what may well be the largest leak of internal video game information ever released. Those with the files noticed a folder titled ‘Luigi', and loaded the contents into existing SM64 mods, creating the model you can see on screen. If legitimate, it confirms decades of rumors and speculation about the other Mario brother appearing in the game in some form. The game's files also reveal beta-only enemy types.

"Video games are a real problem," Rogan said. "They're a real problem. You know why? Because they're f**king fun. You do them, and they're real exciting, but you don't get anywhere." "There are kids that make a lot of f**king money playing video games," he finished. "But you have to be adaptable, you have to able to play multiple video games. Because the one game you get really good at, what are the odds it'll be around in 5 years time?"

It won't just be any regular movie though, as it will rely on viewers to make decisions throughout the story to affect its final outcome. The story focuses on the death of Jason Todd, who became Robin after the departure of Dick Grayson, and his eventual transformation into the violent vigilante Red Hood. Maybe after all this time, we'll finally get to see what would happen if Jason Todd hadn't been handed a death sentence by Batman fans all those years ago, an outcome that's been widely discussed and explored since. The only surefire way to find out though will be to watch "Death in the Family" when it releases on Blu-ray and Digital HD later  this Fall. Fox- How do you feel about a choose your own Bat movie?

It arrived just six months after the most divisive release in the franchise yet, The Last Jedi, and was the first Disney flick to cop mounting fan backlash on its bottom line.  The trilogy plan was suspended, and it looked like Solo's bold plan had been scuppered just a single film into its run. That is, until new rumors rumbled to life earlier this month, suggesting Disney was planning a secret Solo revival. Ehrenreich (solo) himself was the first to set the flame ablaze, telling Esquire he'd “heard some stuff, but nothing concrete." Soon after, CBR reported that the idea of taking Solo to Disney Plus had “evolved greatly” so far this year.~~~Howard said in regards to a rumored Solo followup. “[But], there's no sequel planned now.” Ghost how did you feel about Solo and would you be into an episodic adv versus a feature film?Florida Man - Brought to you by The Tighe UpNaked man tells Charlotte County deputies he's BatmanA naked man walking around at an Englewood hotel identified himself as “Batman” when deputies asked him for his name.The Charlotte County Sheriff's Office said they went to the Suncoast Inn on South McCall Road late Friday after the manager reported a naked man had tried to get into his room.Deputies found Christopher L.

According to their parents, who posted a worried plea on the official Twitch subreddit, their "minor" child "spent almost $20k using a debit card on subscriptions & donations, cleaning out my bank accounts without my knowledge or permission. Years of savings gone in 17 days." Some helpful responders suggested that the parent's only recourse would be to contact their bank directly and report the transactions as fraudulent. The bank could then, hopefully, begin the process of chargebacks. The parent said that she got the names of the streamers from their child, and they included an NBA and NFL player, and three other "super popular" streamers. Sodapoppin makes troll apology after getting banned on Twitch  Sodapoppin is one of the biggest. The popular variety streamer has been streaming since 2012, amassing over 2.7 million followers in that time thanks to his entertaining and unique content. his Twitch channel received a temporary suspension on July 20. Though, instead of being disheartened by it, Sodapoppin decided to have a little fun with the ban. “Haha I know why I was banned and u don't :)” he tweeted, before following it up with a jokey apology video. In his video, the streamer apologized to his family, friends, and viewers for the misstep. He also joked that, given he's been in lockdown for a few months, he was desperate for “female attention” and had to go into VRChat. Yet, things seemingly got a bit out of hand and Twitch might not have taken too kindly to the content – even though Soda added that he and Twitch love each other. Gaming News Halo Infinite Multiplayer Makes Grappling Hook A Pickup, 4-Player Split-Screen Confirmed Halo Infinite's gameplay debut at the Xbox event was focused exclusively on showcasing the campaign, which features open-world elements and some new tools for Master Chief to play with. Chief among them is the grappling hook, known as the grappleshot Also confirmed is four-player split-screen co-op support for Halo Infinite. This is a feature first announced back in 2018, but given how things can change, there was perhaps some question of whether it would indeed make the final cut. This is a reversal from Halo 5: Guardians, which cut split-screen. The Gentle Side of Twitch “Hi! I see you, but I'm focused on the reading right now. I can chat during the next break!” This message popped up on the stream from Ryan Blake Hall, better known as Storyteller Mars on Twitch. He was busy reading from Henry Wysham Lanier's A Book of Giants: Tales of Very Tall Men of Myth, Legend, History, and Science (published in 1922). Sitting in front of decoratively open books and teacups, he even did character voices—gruff, booming voices for the giants, a calm voice for narration. Most streams are focused primarily on video games, but there are also streams from musicians, knitters, storytellers, makeup artists, scientists, and photographers. There are streamers sewing costumes, snapping together LEGO bricks, and creating digital paintings of their favorite characters Entertainment News Production on Dwayne Johnson's BLACK ADAM Reportedly Being Delayed Until 2021 DC fans might have to wait a little longer before we see Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam get made. The movie was supposed to start shooting this summer, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the production schedule will reportedly be pushed back to 2021. According to The Hollywood Reporter, production on Johnson's Netflix action movie Red Notice is going to have to finish shooting later this year. He needs to finish that project first before he jumps into making Black Adam. Because of the delays in Red Notice's shooting schedule, Black Adam won't begin shooting until 2021. The movie will also be part of the first-ever DC FanDome event on August 22. Black Adam is currently still scheduled to hit theaters on December 22, 2021. We'll just have to wait and see if that release date will hold. The Original Ghostbusters Cast Will Suit Up in Their Jumpsuits Again in GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE We know that Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson will be reprising their roles in Ghostbusters for Ghostbusters: Afterlife. What we don't know is how big of a role they will play in the film. However, thanks to a recent interview with Hudson, we've learned that the team will be suiting up in their jumpsuits again, which probably also means that they'll be gearing up with their proton packs as well. directed Jason Reitman, Jason was one of the kids at the Brownstone Birthday party. He was the one that quoted his father who had said that the Ghostbusters were "full of crap, and that's why (they) went out of business: "Jason Reitman — who actually was in the second movie, he was the kid who opens the second movie, and I just remember him being around the set on both of the movies. So I know that he grew up with them, it's very personal to him, he wrote an amazing script, and he's established himself as a director on his own right. He's a wonderful director and so when this started to happen, and because Jason was involved, I felt this would actually happen, I was really excited about it. a single mom and her two kids [who] arrive in a small town, [and] begin to discover their connection to the original ghostbusters and the secret legacy their grandfather left behind Florida Man RHPD reports: Man calls cops after hamburger with mayo left at his doorMatter of record: An officer was sent June 11 to a local motel regarding a Florida man “wanting to file a report about someone leaving a hamburger outside his hotel room door.” Here it is.“According to Bryan County 911, (the complainant) advised them when he picked up the hamburger, he got mayo on his hands and wanted a report.

And now he's permanently banned like that's crazy. Dude, Dr DisRespect's gotta be so mad he didn't sign with Mixer”, PewDiePie said. PewDiePie said, “He signed with Twitch hoping for like the future on Twitch instead of grabbing the big money or cash right. He's like ‘Yeah, Mixer's not probably gonna take off. I'm probably better off signing with Twitch. “I bet that's what he thought. I'm saying this now, I don't know what he did. Three months ago, what happened in that period, so Mixer shut down and then Ninja and Shroud just got banks for no work.” A fan theory was that twitch wanted to recoup their money and and used a ban to cover up this fact Pewds said I don't think that's the causing factor but it's definitely an incentive. It's like Mixer shut down, so he can't go over there. So, if we ban him because he was clearly talking to Mixer about signing with them. If we ban him, we don't have to f***ing pay him. It doesn't make sense either. I mean, how many millions do you think he paid them”, PewDiePie stated. Twitch breaks records again in Q2, topping 5B total hours watched Twitch had already broken viewership records in the first quarter of 2020 amid coronavirus lockdowns, surpassing 3 billion total hours watched in a single quarter for the first time. In the second quarter, it appears that Twitch has broken that record and several others once again. Twitch saw a massive 62.7% increase in hours watched from Q1 2020 to reach 5 billion hours watched in the second quarter. This figure was also up by 83.1% year-over-year and helps to cement Twitch's place as the leader among game-streaming services, with a 67.6% market share. Dr Disrespect breaks silence on Twitch ban: 'We don't know why'  Dr Disrespect has finally opened up on one of the biggest running stories on the internet, his Twitch ban. He still doesn't know the reason why his channel was removed and has confirmed his time on the platform is over, for good.  2 months into his new contract he found out while watching a friends stream Amazon “As is our process, we take appropriate action when we have evidence that a streamer has acted in violation of our Community Guidelines or Terms of Service. These apply to all streamers regardless of status or prominence in the community.” In a second interview, this time with PCGamer, He said: "Obviously, for legal counsel, I have to be careful here. But I can say however, that I will not be returning to Twitch, so, I mean, that's it." "Let's just say all the cards are on the table. I'm more focused on just making sure whatever we do next, whether it's a platform move or not, that it's the right decision for the community and Champions Club that follows me. And that makes sense to what I want to continue to accomplish with this character in terms of taking things to the next level, and whether it's streaming or outside of streaming. So it's just being conscientious of that decision." Gaming News Xbox Series X and PS5 games to cost $70 as standard Gaming is about to get even more expensive. A couple of weeks ago, games publisher 2K announced that its sports sim NBA 2K21 will cost $70 on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 consoles. Since then, a number of voices have added to the debate, with $70 per title seeming to be the new standard price for gamers. A Twitter poll held by Mike Andronico at Tom's Guide showed 61 percent of respondents would buy fewer games if they all cost $70. Which is understandable, given the perilous world economic situation at present. Sony invests $250 million in 'Fortnite' maker Epic Games Sony has invested $250 million in Epic Games, the company behind the popular battle-royale video game “Fortnite.” The PlayStation console maker will take a minority stake in Epic, the two companies said Thursday, in a strategic investment deal that expands on an existing relationship between both firms. “Through our investment, we will explore opportunities for further collaboration with Epic to delight and bring value to consumers and the industry at large, not only in games, but also across the rapidly evolving digital entertainment landscape.” Henry Cavill Assembles a Gaming PC in Instagram Video: WATCH  Henry Cavill took to social media to show off his new gaming pc build Set to Barry Whites “You're the First , the last, my everything” Cavill gives us a montage of himself assembling the PC in presumably his home.

TABLE OF CONTENT TALKING POINTS EPISODE 7 2/23/2020Welcome to Table of Content. The Elevate community round table show where we discuss all the happenings around streaming, gaming and entertainment. We are joined this week by The_Official_Rogue, Eminent_Stump, and joining us for the first time ever, BroseWood. How are you all doing this evening? Quickly tell us about your channels/role in the community.Streaming News Dr Disrespect explains why he's "upset" with his own Twitch subs As one of the most popular channels on all of Twitch, Dr Disrespect boasts one of the highest subscriber counts on the platform. But, he's called out these very same subscribers now, criticizing them for a lack of energy in the streams. Estimated to have over 20,000 paying subscribers, one of the many benefits these users get is the ability to chat in the stream. Yet, Doc is now experimenting with allowing all viewers to chat, even non-subscribers. While worried about the spammers this will bring he said, Before this, Dr Disrespect had also roasted the spammers too, mocking them for incessantly copying and pasting messages from other users: "I can't imagine the brain that is sitting in that head!" Even big streamers suffer when their chat is as involved as they want them to be. Brose how do you deal with those streams when the hype is low? PewDiePie reveals his future YouTube plans after returning from break After a month-long break, the king of YouTube Felix 'PewDiePie' Kjellberg is back. Returning from his recent hiatus, the Swede made his triumphant return on February 21 by catching up on memes.  The Swedish star uploaded a 15-minute video where he reacted to world's best memes that he had missed while on vacation. reacted to his subreddit having descended into chaos while on break. "I always wondered what you guys would do. What's going to happen to the subreddit.  Now we know. Absolute garbage, thank you!" he joked. The YouTuber ended the video by stating that he will be uploading daily again, and also thanked his fans. "Thank you for all the nice and lovely supportive comments while I was gone, that really cheered me up," he said. "It's been really healthy and good for me to take this break. I appreciate everyone's patience." Rogue, how has pewdiepie being gone ruined your life? When will you be making your big return?  Pokimane explains why being called a “Twitch thot” doesn't bother her Imane “Pokimane” Anys is one of Twitch's most popular streamers, boasting a huge audience of over 3.9 million followers on the site — but being an internet star doesn't come without its difficulties. Although Pokimane sports a hugely supportive fanbase, she likewise has a horde of haters, many of whom label her a “Twitch thot” — an insulting term meant to degrade women on the platform by accusing them of using their sexuality to get views. “‘Thot' is like the lowest list of anything that will hurt me,” she joked. “I've heard that sh*t a million times!” ~Zazz will rant for a second here. Stump, is that the key to dealing with online hate just brushing it off or should we police it?   Twitch streamer Nymn "kicked out" of Furry convention for livestreaming  Another streamer is again in trouble for live streaming from a convention. Nymn's furry convention adventure came to a quick and abrupt end, when he and his companion were told to stop live streaming and were then kicked out of the building. Nymn seems to believe that the behavior of his chat might have been responsible for the sudden boot from the venue, and spoke candidly to his viewers about how he views their behavior. “Some of the people in the Twitch chat were not being very friendly. So I can understand, if you're into this stuff, if you see someone streaming and you check out their stream and the only thing you see in chat is negativity, you'd think ‘yeah I'd probably want them out of the convention' as well.” Blaming his chat seems a little ridiculous when he was filming/streaming from a private event without permission. Brose, what are your thoughts on irl streams and how to go about them?Gaming News EA's Server Woes Call the Entire Future of Cloud-Gaming Into Question Cloud gaming might be the future, but many people are wary. EA's recent server issues are only expanding these fears. EA is currently suffering from some server problems. Many of their online-based games remain unplayable – more than three hours after the company first marked them “resolved.” Luckily, you don't need servers to play most single-player game modes. But imagine if all video games were 100% online – as they would be if you were using a cloud gaming service – and you start to see the scale of the issue. With cloud gaming being the seeming future of gaming do you worry about these sorts of issues? Think of the implications for a live streamer if their games cloud service goes down? Rogue Tiger's retro LCD handheld games are making a comeback Hasbro is bringing back another ‘90s classic: the monochrome Tiger Electronics LCD handheld. Today, the company announced that it'll be releasing four new versions of the iconic handheld, which will launch this fall for $14.99 each. As with the originals, each device will play a single game. The launch titles include The Little Mermaid, Transformers: Generation 2, X-Men Project X, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (all are available to preorder at Gamestop now).  This isn't the first such ‘90s LCD revival. Back in 2017, Bandai Namco brought back the classic Tamagotchi, which similarly banked largely on nostalgia. Like that effort, Hasbro's new gaming devices feature nothing in the way of modern conveniences. Instead, they harken back to a much simpler time for the medium. Brose, Did you have these as a kid and will any of you be picking these up? PlayStation cites coronavirus, backs out of multiple major gaming expos [Updated]  One day after Sony's PAX East cancellation, the company's PlayStation arm has now announced plans to skip a second major gaming expo, the Game Developers Conference, by citing the impact of coronavirus on its worldwide operations. Its exit from the March expo has company: Oculus, the virtual reality arm of Facebook, will also no longer attend GDC. GDC's organizers posted a statement on Thursday assuring attendees that they're moving forward with the expo as planned, based on guidance from state and city health advisers. "We believe that, based on the strict US quarantine around coronavirus and a large number of enhanced on-site measures, we are able to execute a safe and successful event for our community," the statement said. With another piece of gaming new citing corona virus issues, and the rise in cases we have seen in the last weeks, Stump are you worried at all about world govts being able to contain the corona virus?Entertainment News Disney + Cooking Show BE OUR CHEF Serves Up a Family Affair  Video Cue A new cooking competition from Disney+ will pit two families against each other in the kitchen. They'll be tasked with making original dishes inspired by beloved Disney characters. And while the first trailer for Be Our Chef looks like the least relaxing vacation ever, it should be a lot of fun to watch. Plus, it offers a big time reward for its competitors. One family will see their original dish on a Disney menu in the park. Angela Kinsey (The Office) hosts the upcoming new cooking show for Disney +. The culinary competition premieres on the streaming site this spring, on Friday, March 27. Each episode will see two families facing off, as they concoct totally original treats and dishes inspired by that week's signature character. Brose, do you like to cook and will you be checking out the show? ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? Reboot Is Back For Seconds VIdeo Cue If there's one show that collectively traumatized a generation of millennials, it's Nickelodeon's Are You Afraid of the Dark. The Canadian-produced series originally aired from 1990 to 1996, with a reboot in 1999 for an additional season. It followed a group of friends who call themselves the Midnight Society; they gathered 'round a fire each week to tell a horror story. That story then played out for the audience, anthology-style. Each episode had a new, frightening thing to terrorize its young audience, from vampires to ghosts to aliens to ghouls. Last year, keen to dip into the wells of nostalgia, Nickelodeon rebooted Are You Afraid of the Dark. And successfully, at that, because it's coming back for a second season.  Stump were you fan of the show as a kid? Borderlands Movie to Be Directed by Eli Roth  Eli Roth (Hostel, Death Wish) is officially set to direct an upcoming film adaptation of the popular Borderlands video game franchise. For those unfamiliar with the Borderlands series, it's perhaps best to think of it as a kind of warped, sarcastic version of the Mad Max franchise. It tells the story of a post-apocalyptic world dominated by roaming gangs, legions, and other power-hungry coalitions. The series is infamous for its elaborate weapons, over-the-top violence, and wicked sense of humor. Without much detail past that Rogue what are you hoping to see from this series? Masters of the Universe: Revelation Cast Revealed  Kevin Smith's animated He-Man reboot for Netflix, Masters of the Universe: Revelation is coming closer to reality. The series, which was announced back in August, will pick up the story from the original Filmation He-Man and the Masters of the Universe animated series years later, basically taking the Creed/The Force Awakens/Jurassic World approach with its “belated sequel” look at the world of Eternia. Netflix has now revealed the Masters of the Universe: Revelation voice cast just to name a few Mark Hamill as Skeletor Lena Headey as Evil-Lyn Sarah Michelle Gellar as Teela Liam Cunningham as Man-At-Arms Stephen Root as Cringer Diedrich Bader as King Randor and Trap Jaw And the king of hardcore himself Henry Rollins as Tri-Klops Oh yeah and btw Kevin Conroy, the voice of batman, as Mer-man. With a star studded voice cast like this and the always great writing by Silent Bob I am sure this will be a must see. Guys any thoughts????Anything you want to plug, Brose?

TABLE OF CONTENT TALKING POINTS EPISODE 6 2/16/2020Welcome to Table of Content. The Elevate community round table show where we discuss all the happenings around streaming, gaming and entertainment. We are joined this week by TigheFighterX1, Eminent_Stump, and joining us for the first time ever, Red_Foxx15. How are you all doing this evening? Quickly tell us about your channels/role in the community.Streaming News Drake will stream exclusively on Twitch rival Caffeine Live-streaming platform Caffeine entered an already-crowded marketplace last year, but with a focus on celebrity-orientated channels (Offset was the first major star to join) it aimed to offer something a little different to the likes of Twitch and Mixer. Now it's scored a massive win, signing an exclusive multi-year livestreaming partnership with Drake. In the past he has streamed Fortnite, although no word on whether he'll take to Fortnite again), including a series of rap battles in partnership with Ultimate Rap League. The battles will stream live on his Caffeine channel, with the first taking place in Atlanta on February 29th. He'll also be using his channel to give a platform to new artists and creative voices. But having a major name like Drake on board will certainly help to distinguish the platform from the competition, not to mention open up livestreaming to content that until now has largely been dominated by gaming. What is your take on celebrity streaming? Stump  YouTube Copies Twitch With New $2 Clap Feature Viewers can now “clap” at their favorite YouTube stars as another way for creators to earn money through the Google-owned video platform. The feature is officially called “viewer applause” on YouTube and rests nest to the Like and Dislike buttons for viewers and can be enabled in a creator's dashboard. However, the feature is in the beta testing phase and only a small number of creators with more than 100,000 subscribers have access to it at this point. Viewers can pay $2 per clap, with a cap of “$500 per day, or $2,000 per week on Super Chats, Super Stickers, and Viewer applause combined,” according to a Google product blog post. It is unclear how that amount was calculated but for creators the 70-30 split with YouTube on SuperChats will be the same for claps. TigheFighter your thoughts on Youtube's monetization model. Twitch streamer Sacriel in hot water after impersonating his wife Popular Twitch streamer Chris 'Sacriel' Ball found himself in hot water after being called out for impersonating his wife during a recent broadcast. Not just any old impression, Sacriel ramped things up by mimicking the sounds of a Murloc from the Warcraft franchise. An often shunned race that makes indecipherable gurgling sounds, Murlocs are arguably the lowest on the food chain in that particular universe and Sacriel's wife was not at all pleased being compared to one.  She confronted him during his stream and he played it off as if sounding like a murloc is a good thing. It all seemed like she took it in good fun.VIDEO CUE He followed up with a tweet “Even after getting caught on stream impersonating a Murloc and saying that's how my wife sounds, I still am given a proper English dinner. It only smells like arsenic,” he joked. While its easy to crack jokes while streaming we as streamers got to be careful as there are real life consequences. Have you ever had any blow back from a stream or do you know anyone who has? RedFoxx Ronda Rousey signs exclusive streaming deal with Facebook Gaming  Longtime gamer and celebrity fighter Rhonda Rousey has joined Facebook Gaming in an exclusive streaming deal, adding to the platform's growing portfolio of talent. The former UFC fighter and frequent World of Warcraft Night Elf announced the news in an Instagram post. She showed off her passion for gaming as she was pictured holding a Nintendo Switch and a copy of Pokemon Shield. “Gaming has always been a huge part of my life, and I can't wait to share that passion with my millions of fans on Facebook Gaming,” Rousey said about the announcement. “Through my streams, people can hang out with the real me, not the ‘character' version of myself they're used to seeing, though the ‘Rowdy One' can't always be contained!” What do you guys think about getting to see a more personal side of some of our favorite celebs and pro wrestlers? ALLGaming News Sony reportedly battling to keep PlayStation 5 price down  Sony is struggling to land on a price for its upcoming PlayStation 5 console, according to a new report by Bloomberg, with component shortages potentially pushing the MSRP beyond that of the PS4. The bill of materials is said to be at around $450 right now, compared to IHS Markit's estimate of $381 for the PS4, which sold for $399 upon its release in 2013. Unless Sony is willing to sell the PS5 at a loss, a $450 build cost would make the new console significantly more expensive than Sony's current $399 PS4 Pro, which is often discounted to as low as $299. Tighe What impact do you think this is going to have overall on the sales? What about vs someone making a decision to move to pc? IRS backtracks on whether video game currencies are taxable  On Wednesday, the IRS quietly changed a provision on its website that said transactions of virtual currency like Fortnite's V-bucks were taxable and may have to be reported on tax returns The provision had been on the IRS's website since at least October,  bitcoin, Ether, Roblox (likely referring to Robux from the game Roblox), and V-bucks are listed as specific examples of a “convertible virtual currency.” The IRS defines a convertible virtual currency as one that has an equivalent value to or acts as a substitute for real currency. The IRS's website now only lists bitcoin as an example of a convertible virtual currency. Despite being removed from the IRS's websites, there was some confusion about whether they needed to be reported because the IRS hadn't explicitly exempted them. How do you feel about the potential of having to report in game currencies on your taxes Stump? Sources: YouTube's Deal With Activision Blizzard Valued At $160M YouTube's media-rights deal with Activision Blizzard Esports is valued at around $160M USD over three years, according to people briefed on the terms of pact The previous deal that Activision Blizzard had for just the Overwatch League (OWL)  was reportedly valued at $90M total over two years. in the broader tech war between Amazon and Google, this deal is a significant one both because of what it means on the esports side as well as the cloud services side, of which Amazon's AWS also is a major player.  Foxx from a tech perspective what do you think this means for these cloud services?Entertainment News 'The Batman' Offers First Glimpse at Robert Pattinson in Costume The first glimpse at Robert Pattinson as The Dark Knight has arrived, with filmmaker Matt Reeves sharing a camera test of Pattinson in costume for The Batman on Thursday afternoon. In recent years, filmmakers have often shared first-looks at anticipated characters while films were still in production. In September 2018, Joker filmmaker Todd Phillips shared a look at Joaquin Phoenix in his full makeup a full year before the year opened. Such reveals are particularly attractive to filmmakers whose projects are shooting outdoors, where bystanders or paparazzi might snap photos before an official look of the character is released. LETS TAKE A LOOKVIDEO CUE What do you think of the new look? Stump. Exclusive: New 'Batman: The Animated Series' tie-in comic coming to DC in April DC Comics is launching a new six-issue miniseries called Batman: The Adventures Continue in April. Set in the world of the beloved show, the digital-first series is written by the show's producers Paul Dini and Alan Burnett and illustrated by Ty Templeton For many people, the Emmy-award winning Batman: The Animated Series is the definitive adaptation of the Dark Knight. Over the course of 85 episodes, Dini, Burnett, and Bruce Timm produced mature and emotional stories that not only streamlined the Caped Crusader's mythology but also introduced new elements into it that eventually made their way to the pages of DC Comics, like Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya. Batman: The Adventures Continue is part of an initiative to introduce new characters into DC Collectibles' Batman: The Animated Series line of toys, with Templeton designing these new additions in Timm's style. So, the comic will feature many familiar faces from the DC Animated Universe like Superman and Lex Luthor and some that never appeared in that world until now, like Jason Todd. What do you think of their plan here and do you think this will spin up another Batman Animated Series?

Quickly tell us about your channels/role in the community.Before we start I want to wish a special happy birthday to our friend and former guest Jazz0ejo. Hope it's a good B-day.Streaming News Twitch streamer demands fans donate hourly or he'll quit Modern Warfare WingsOfRedemption had such a bad time that he pleaded for hourly donations from his fans just to keep a recent broadcast going. Venting his frustration just 40 minutes into his Modern Warfare session, he made a simple demand to viewers in his chat that may have wanted him to keep streaming.  “I hate to be like this, but if you want this stream to continue, it's gonna be $10 an hour,” he outlined. “We need to make $10 in donations per hour for this sh*t to continue or I'm just gonna get off.” Looking back on some past videos of his. This is sort of a normal occurrence (Begging for money) How do you feel about streamers begging for money and subs? Does it make you feel bad for them, dislike them? Tighe  How Twitch Encourages Fans To Obsess Over Streamers' Viewership Numbers  King Gothalion who recently moved to mixer opened up about how he feels growth on twitch. “I started streaming six years ago on Twitch, and it felt like back then everything was more about community,” Michael told Kotaku over the phone. “But now on Twitch, it's very much the second you log in, you're under a microscope in comparison to everybody—not only your friends, but every other broadcaster on the platform He went on to note that he feels like, in the past few years, toxicity has become a big issue on Twitch. He called it a “byproduct of growth,” but also pointed to Twitch's slowly and inconsistently revised terms of service as another possible cause. Mixer, he said, has him in a much more optimistic place, because it “feels like Twitch five years ago.” Take a look under Twitch's hood, and you'll find that it's largely by design. Twitch is a platform made for gamers that, itself, unfurls over time like a game. It has numbers-driven “paths” to Affiliate and Partner statuses, which unlock more money-making options for streamers, as well as an entire achievement system with goals like lassoing together 100 viewers at the same time or streaming for hundreds or thousands of hours total. Do you think focusing on these sorts of metrics is important for streamers or should we just ignore them and enjoy our community? Oasis Destiny 2 streamer becomes the most-subbed solo channel on Twitch Destiny streamer Sean “GLADD” Gallagher has become the most-subbed individual channel on Twitch in February 2020, according to metrics tracking site Twitchtracker.com. Previously, the most-subbed individual streamer on the platform was former Overwatch pro Felix ‘xQc' Lengyel, until GLADD moved ahead of his ranking on February 5. Unlike followers, Twitch streamers' subscriber counts aren't directly available to the public, and many fans have to simply guess at the number of subscribers content creators have gained while on the platform. According to TwitchTracker, all of GLADD's 32,443 were paid (that means no Prime subs) and, interestingly enough, 21,890 of those paid subs were gifted ones. Is this a tracking method you were aware existed and have you ever used it to look up your favorite streamer? Symphonic Guys for any of you that havent seen we can all have those terrible streams where everything goes wrong. I have them (soty)  and so do Big streamers. Doc Disrespect had a bit of a stream of the year this past week lets watch. No real question guys but thought it would be worthwhile to point out even top guys have basic tech issues from time to time.Gaming News Xbox says Nintendo and Sony no longer main rivals Phil Spencer, Microsoft's head of gaming, said he now considered Amazon and Google as his top rivals because of their cloud-computing infrastructure. But Mr Spencer said his "traditional" rivals Nintendo and Sony were out of step with the future of gaming. Saying "That's not to disrespect Nintendo and Sony but the traditional gaming companies are somewhat out of position." With cloud gaming, players do not need to buy a games console. Instead, the games are run on servers in huge data centres with the footage streamed over the internet to a TV, computer, smartphone or tablet.It means players do not need to buy discs or download games and software updates, which can take a long time. However, it requires a fast and reliable internet connection to stream the games. What changes going forward do you think we will see from data and traditional media companies to this big change in the way we consume games? TigheFighter The PS5's next-gen audio tech could transform your gaming experience – here's how  The PS5 is looming on the horizon, and while we don't know everything that the next-gen console will offer, we do know that the PlayStation 5 will be packing some very interesting audio tech, as well as ray-tracing and backwards-compatibility. In an April 2019 interview with Wired, the console's lead architect Mark Cerny confirmed that the PS5 will support what he calls "3D audio" – something he says will "make you feel more immersed in the game as sounds come at you from above, from behind, and from the side". Although the PS5's audio specs haven't been revealed yet, the 3D audio chip that Cerny alluded to could deliver Dolby Atmos sound with it, bringing it into direct competition with the Xbox One  Symph I am gonna let you explain a little about what Atmos is then get your thoughts on its impact on gaming. Coronavirus Outbreak Leads to Delays in Video Game Manufacturing  All three of the major game consoles — Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox — are manufactured in Taiwan, which has recorded multiple patients affected with the virus. Nintendo -  "We can confirm that the manufacturing of some Nintendo products for the Japanese market has been delayed due to the impact of 2019-nCoV coronavirus outbreak. Nintendo does not anticipate a significant impact on our broader global supply chain for systems and accessories at this time, and product sales in North America and Europe, including preorders, are not affected. We would like to express our concern and support for all those affected by the coronavirus during this challenging time."  C. Not just console makers - Private Division said "We're delaying Outer Worlds on Nintendo Switch due to the coronavirus impacting the Virtuous team working on the port, to provide them enough time to finish development. We'll now be releasing the physical version on cartridge. Once we have a new launch date, we'll let you know!" D. On the same day that the city of Wuhan went into quarantine and halted air and rail travel in the wake of the coronavirus, analytics company Apptica identified that the mobile game Plague, Inc. has risen to the top of the App Store's top paid apps. The game is centered around the spread of infectious disease.What do you make guys make of the seemingly growing epidemic and the rise of the plague game? Oasis you first.Entertainment News Netflix begins streaming data-saving AV1 videos on Android Netflix is rolling out support for the new AV1 video codec in its Android app, which the company claims compresses video 20 percent more efficiently than the VP9 codec it currently uses AV1 is important not just because it consumes less mobile data, but because the royalty-free video coding format has the support of the major tech players. The group behind the standard, the Alliance for Open Media (AOMedia), was founded in 2015 by a group of companies including Amazon, Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Netflix, and in 2018 Apple joined their efforts.  Engadget notes, enabling the codec for YouTube playback generates a warning that “Streaming AV1 in HD requires a powerful computer.” That makes us wonder how AV1-encoded Netflix videos will impact that battery life of our smartphones. Tighe, what are your thoughts on the tech community seemingly putting their approval behind a format and what do you make of the impact on data vs battery life? Antonio Brown threatens to sue Logan Paul over phony fight poster YouTuber Logan Paul has made no secret of his plans to box NFL star Antonio Brown — but the two have yet to make an official agreement, giving Brown quite the surprise after coming across a fan-made poster for their potential bout. The “rivalry” between Brown and Paul began after the football pro challenged “The Maverick” to a boxing match via Twitter in January. Since then, their feud has grown consistently more heated, with the two finally coming face to face to talk smack after the viral Jake Paul vs AnEsonGib fight on January 30.     C. Brown called out the YouTuber in an Instagram post after discovering a fan made poster, which boasted a placeholder date and venue that could easily appear legit to those out of the loop. “Tell Logan to send me the contract, or Imma sue him. Imma sue him like I sued the other YouTuber. I'm about to sue the kid and destroy him, for using the wrong likeness.”Do you guys think this is for theatrics or is Antonio Brown that dumb? Symph It's game on for ‘Mythic Quest': Apple TV+ comedy series set inside a video-game studio  A video game development studio is about to launch an eagerly anticipated expansion to its popular role-playing game. This is hardly a typical premise you'd expect out of a TV show, yet it's precisely what you'll find in "Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet," a new streaming comedy series on Apple TV Plus. Co-created by Rob McElhenney, Megan Ganz and Charlie Day (of “It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia” fame), "Mythic Quest" might best be described as "The Office" meets gamer culture – both in the way it's shot (often with documentary-style camera pushes) and in the hilarious contrast between disparate personalities under pressure to deliver another hit. Also Stars Dani Pudi of Community! Real-life video game publisher Ubisoft was also instrumental in conceiving, producing and consulting for this television series. “Yes, it's a comedy, but also grounded in fact,” adds Kreinik, in a telephone interview.

TABLE OF CONTENT TALKING POINTS EPISODE 4 1/26/2020Welcome to Table of Content. The Elevate community round table show where we discuss all the happenings around streaming, gaming and entertainment. We are joined this week by TigheFighterX1, Brmibe, and one half of your Walt Wednesday team Jazz0ejo. How are you all doing this evening? Quickly tell us about your channels/role in the community.Streaming News 1. Greed gets the best of streamerhttps://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/twitch-streamer-lashes-out-at-viewers-for-not-subscribing-to-her-channel-1315470 Popular Twitch streamer BadBunny has hit out at viewers who spend hours watching her content without subscribing, claiming that people "don't respect" her as a content creator. While broadcasting on January 18 though, BadBunny explained to her chat that she needed monetary support to continue creating content on Twitch, and when her viewers didn't respond with an influx of subscriptions, the streamer lashed out at them, fuming that they watch hours of content for free without paying for it. "There are regulars here. $5 a month! How do you have hours of time to watch me, and not $5? What are you doing with your life where you have hours of time to watch Twitch, and not $5 to provide for the content that you're watching." How do You feel about streamers begging for money?2. Mixer announces that annoying 24/7 spark farms and 'follow for follow' streams are going bye byehttp://www.windowscentral.com/mixer-announces-annoying-247-spam-follow-follow-streams-are-going-byebye A big sore point has long been 24/7 streams, where a user just sets their stream on some radio station and goes AFK, billing themselves as a "spark farm," Mixer's currency for viewing streams. There's also been a rise of "follow for follow" spammers, who aren't actually actively streaming. Some of these streams end up trending on the front page, taking precious space away from legitimate streamers on a platform that isn't exactly awash with viewers. Clip upgrades will let you trim your clips more accurately, all the way down to 5 seconds. Previously, Mixer's clipping tool was a little less flexible. The Mixer app on Xbox will offer an option to go back to the previous chat method, with a sidebar, rather than a chat overlay on top of the video. It's in testing now, with a planned February roll out.Starting next week, Mixer will no longer allow 24/7 spark farms nor follow for follow streams, where there's nobody actually streaming. Mixer is nailing down the fine print over how this works, but this shouldn't impact legitimate 24/7 channels such as music stations and animal cams and such, on a "case by case" basis. Mixer will also include a 24/7 stream category in the future, for legitimate 24/7 streams and creative projects, and will include an appeal process in case someone is banned unfairly or wants to change their streaming model.Mixer says it will try to action these sorts of policy changes more rapidly in the future.Mixer also teased new auto-hosting features for the future.How do you feel about follow for follow itself and what are your thoughts on the changes coming?3. Twitch streamer's attempt at a “fart mic” ends in a messhttp://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/twitch-streamer-fart-mic-skit-mess-live-1315423  Just Chatting streamer ‘AmericanDad' looked to pull off his “first ever fart mic” on broadcast, but his attempt at the joke failed miserably, with the streamer getting more than he bargained for. “Guys I'm feeling the fart mic tonight. Did the fart mic emote get approved? No it didn't. Okay, chat, fart mic. First every fart mic. Here it is.” With the microphone up right against his crotch, instead of a clean puff of air, a sound more akin to a wet mess came out. AmericanDad knew what happened, his viewers heard it, and there was only one way to explain himself out of it. He went brb and came back and explained to his chat that he had pooped his pants. His chat had a great time and he declared no more fart mic for the night.  4. Youtube snipes Big Esport gainshttps://www.wired.com/story/activision-esports-leagues-youtube-exclusive/  YouTube announced that it will exclusively stream three behemoth esports leagues—the Call of Duty League, the Overwatch League, and Hearthstone Esports, all controlled by Activision Blizzard—that had lived primarily on the game streaming platform Twitch. In an interview with WIRED, head of YouTube Gaming Ryan Wyatt said that Google, which owns YouTube, and Activision have been in talks over esports media rights since last year. “It's a long time coming,” he said StreamElements CEO Doron Nir agreed in a roundabout way: “Esports tournaments have two types of viewership: Live and VOD post game. Since most of VOD happens on YouTube already, I expect the move to YouTube for live viewership will have no negative impact on the views. If YouTube promotes it properly, it might even get more viewership.” How do you think this will affect youtube gaming going forward as well as Twitch?Gaming News5.  Final Fantasy 7 PSA https://comicbook.com/gaming/2020/01/25/final-fantasy-7-pre-orders-square-enix/  If you're still set on getting Final Fantasy VII in April and have the game pre-ordered already, you might need to check the status of your order to make sure you don't lose it. Square Enix said this week that, because of the delay that pushed the game's release date out of March and into April, people who pre-ordered it need to opt into keeping their pre-order or else it'll be cancelled. Square Enix shared the latest update on the game and its pre-orders through the Final Fantasy VII Twitter account. The need to opt into the pre-orders people have already secured only applies to people in the United States who bought the game through the Square Enix Store, but if that applies to you, you'll need to take action before February 28th. This probably won't apply to most people purchasing the game but an important psa nonetheless. What do you make of this sort of bizarre pre order process? Are you excited/ will you be playing the game?6. Rocket League supporthttps://comicbook.com/gaming/2020/01/25/rocket-league-psyonix-support-macos-linux/  Psyonix is ending its support for Rocket League on the macOS and Linux platforms within the next few months, the developer announced this week. That means that most people will still be able to play the game uninterrupted, but if you're on one of those two platforms. Psyonix said it was “no longer viable” to maintain support for those platforms since it's continually upgrading Rocket League with new tech. A final update for macOS and Linux in March will disable online functionality but would leave offline features intact. To accommodate players who bought the game on one of those two platforms and wanted their money back, Psyonix said it worked out a deal with Valve to offer refunds outside of Valve's typical refund policy. The plan didn't work as intended at first as refunds were being rejected, but Psyonix said that should be resolved now and that players can successfully request a refund through Steam's support site. What do you think about the developer ending support and do any of you play on these op sys? Chat what about you?7. GTA 6 infohttps://www.ccn.com/rockstars-grand-theft-auto-vi-leak-should-make-xbox-fans-very-happy/  A new Tax Watch UK report into Rockstar Games' finances reveals just how much money the developer has been getting from tax breaks. In 2019, the company claimed £37.6m in Video Games Tax Relief (VGTR). The report said that this claim is likely to help fund the development of Grand Theft Auto 6. If the tax breaks are to fund the development of GTA 6, Xbox fans should be very happy. Rockstar's use of tax relief may mean that it doesn't need any more money from exclusivity deals. What do you make of this rumor? Entertainment News8. Twisted Metal TVhttps://comicbook.com/gaming/2019/05/21/twisted-metal-tv-series-sony-playstation-productions/  Sony recently announced that it planned on adapting some of its many video game series into movie and TV show formats, and it appears the first of those has already been revealed. The first news of the supposed Twisted Metal TV series came from a user on ResetEra who said the project had been revealed by Sony Pictures' CEO and chairman Tony Vinciquerra. The executive reportedly told those present at the meeting during the Q&A segment that production has already begun on the series. Were you a fan of this series and how do you feel about Sony getting in the entertainment game with their Playstation Productions division?9. RIP Mr Peanuthttps://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/mr-peanuts-death-rattles-the-internet-always-classy-always-crunchy-194140518.html  Mr. Peanut, the name of Planters' longtime mascot, has been trending on social media this week after the peanut brand announced his death following a car accident alongside his celebrity friends, Wesley Snipes and Matt Walsh. What the character's “death” will actually mean is yet to be seen — but it's all part of the Super Bowl advertising blitz that invades American TV sets every year about this time. Planters has teased that his funeral will take place during the third quarter of Super Bowl LIV, the Feb. 2 showdown between the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs in Miami. Social media fans had fun, um, roasting the iconic character. For instance, another brand mascot, Mr. Clean, remembered him as, “Always classy, always crunchy, always cleaned up nicely.” How do you feel about the death of this icon and will you be tuning in for the funeral?10. Obi Wan Update http://nerdist.com/article/ewan-mcgregor-obi-wan-kenobi-disney-plus-update-star-wars/  Rumors about the fate of the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series are less dire than originally reported, according to Obi-Wan Kenobi himself, Ewan McGregor. Rumors swirled that the show had been cancelled or delayed because bad scripting and a rejection by Lucasfilm Yeah, we just pushed the shoot to the beginning of next year,” McGregor revealed. “The scripts are really good. I saw 90% of the writing. There was all this bullshit about [there] being creative differences and all that stuff. None of it true; they just pushed the dates.” He also made another mention of the scripts saying the delay will give them time to make them better.  Do you buy what he is saying here or is he acting as PR for them on the issue? No Table of Content next week for those of you that worship in the cult of the pigskin you can enjoy your super bowl parties. FOLLOW US ON TWITCH, FACEBOOK, TWITTER, and INSTAGRAMIf you would like to be a guest or have a topic you would like to hear discussed hit us up on twitter or shoot us me an email to zazzaboo@elevatesreams.comThanks, and we will see you next week★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Shortly after she arrived the streamer told her he would be taking his space back and asked her to leave immediately.c.  He explained he hadn't had a roommate in years and was not a fan of it then.d. As for why he streamed the eviction, he explained in a chat comment, "I let a friend crash at my place for free but she thinks she owns the f**king place. She also locked me out of my own apartment and fed my dog popcorn making him very sick. Wanted to record this for the record so she [doesn't] claim some crazy sh*t but figured [why] not stream it."Twitch has guidelines about privacy, do you feel like because it was his house this violated her privacy?3. Fake Gil Fake Gamblinghttps://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2020/01/15/twitch-viewers-are-betting-fake-gil-on-ai-playing-final-fantasy-tactics/a. The Twitch channel FFTBattleground has set up tournaments of AI bots playing Final Fantasy Tactics against one another that viewers can bet fake Gs on.

Sony Skips E3 againhttps://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/missing-sony-e3-moves-one-biggest-backers-1270393a.

Sony Interactive Entertainment declined to comment further beyond its initial statement that it has "great respect for the [Entertainment Software Association]," which organizes and presents the annual E3 convention and cited their "vision" as the determining factor for dropping out for a second yearc.  Sony also noted it would participate in "hundreds of consumer [separate] events across the globe" in 2020. Does Sony's absence represent something big on the horizon for them or does this signal a mistake that could be capitalized on by Microsoft and Nintendo?5.

This holiday season, both Microsoft and Sony are planning to launch next-generation game consoles: the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5, respectively.b. Though the two consoles compete directly, Microsoft is intentionally moving its Xbox business away from direct competition with Sony.c.  Instead of focusing on the new Xbox console as a replacement for the current one, as Microsoft and Sony have done in the past, Microsoft is making a different play: a digital game library that works across Xbox devices.What do you think of Microsoft strategy overall in moving the industry in such a different direction? Will they find a better niche in not trying to go head to head with the PS5?6. 8 of 10 best selling games of the decade were Call of Dutyhttps://www.pcgamer.com/8-of-the-10-best-selling-games-of-the-decade-were-call-of-duty/a.

Then, Hollywood was just entering a digital revolution that would upend old distribution models, with Netflix just starting its pivot from DVD to the internet and Hulu going live as the strike ended.c.  As a content consumer I would be disappointed to see this happen but as a creator I would love to seize the opportunity.8.
