Tonight I streamed the Cowboy Game, and it got *just as dark* as expected. The whole adventure is watchable here -twitch.tv/videos/3388829…, and highlights include:
23.22 - the bleakest yeet
44.25 - turtle knife fight
1.20.55 - needless slaughter
1.46.20 - TRAIN TO WIN
Oh no, just rewatching some bits of the stream and got to the bit where the Cowboy is woefully flicking through the chronicle of all the animals he's murdered, leaving bloody fingerprints on each page, as Adagio for Strings swells to a crescendo
This one minute of footage sums up the entirety of the Cowboy Game in stark, sublime perfection. Watch it, even if you hate cowboys. *Especially* if you hate cowboys. @allwrongthink's a sorcerer.

PSA for anyone keen on buying my big book of fictional video games - Amazon seems to be dispatching them a bit late for Christmas, but Waterstones can get them to you on time! waterstones.com/book/100-best-…
I have _no idea_ how Amazon works. I was delighted when loads of people RTed stuff about 100 Games this week, but Amazon taking 1 week plus to ship is disappointing. I can cope with the responsibility of marketing my published work, but I feel a bit powerless over distribution!
FWIW, I'm really sorry I keep coming out here on the beg for you all to buy the book. The truth is, for authors who aren't massive names, 90% of marketing after launch month comes down to us peddling our wares online, hoping we don't alienate folks by talking like salespeople.

If you're still shopping for christmas, this book will sort out everything for 8 quid. It's 100 completely fictional games, reviewed in depth & illustrated by professional games artists, and the person retweeting this will tell you just what a laugh it is: amazon.co.uk/Best-Video-Gam…
Thrill at the groundbreaking annelid business simulation of WORM SALESMAN '84!
Sob at the deep, deep personal pain on display in GRIEF COPS!

Just had my first proper advert dad moment going through departures at berlin-tegel. After 5 minutes of confusion over what to do with the baby's pushchair, the security lads politely commanded me to fully disassemble it, as a massive queue of waiting businessmen watched on.
We'd already held everyone up for ages, so I was feeling acutely anxious, & suddenly the pressure of the moment folded some valve of my brain completely shut. I forgot all my German, most of my English, & every conception of the pushchair as something more than an abstract shape.
I was just sort of pawing at the joints of the thing, making quiet, plaintive honking sounds - all my memory of the infernal engine's folding mechanism had vanished like snow before piss, but I figured I could postpone humiliation by at least *miming* that I was putting it down.

Latest in the Crytek v CIG lawsuit.

On Dec 6th after the judge granted an MtD in favor of CIG, they gave Crytek 21 days to file a third amendment if they wanted to.

Some were speculating that the case was "over" (lol), that Crytek won't file another amendment etc.
The primary reason for Crytek filing a third amendment would be to provide evidence that CIG were engaged in a protracted effort to market their use of Lumberyard|Star Engine, in violation of the license agreement.
Though with the judge's ruling, I now believe that it would be a stretch for Crytek to prevail in that argument, the one shot I believe they DO have, is if the judge finds that the display of the Lumberyard logo in the game, constitutes "continuous promotion".

And the final shoe drops. CIG raised $46M this past Summer from investors.

gamasutra.com/view/news/3333…
They have updated the UK listing showing that Ezer Eli KLEIN, one of the officers of Infatrade (the investor of this deal) is now a director of CIG, joining industry heavyweight @FlyingKameLA who I revealed earlier this week.

beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/088152…
Remember when I said Dan was either an investor or representing the investors?

So there you have it folks, nothing further can be said here, other than this is history repeating itself.

I can't say I'm surprised because for YEARS I've been saying THIS was going to happen.

Just to confuse what "AOC" means on my timeline, #AdventOfCode (adventofcode.com/2018) is starting in 3.5 hours!

I'll be streaming ~every day at midnight EST at twitch.com/lizthegrey or youtube.com/user/lizthegrey depending upon whether I'm at a linux or chromeos device!
It also happens to be good interview practice -- I'll be using Golang as usual rather than trying to learn a new language.
Going live in 1 minute at twitch.tv/lizthegrey, hope to see some new faces on the stream! #AdventOfCode

Round-up of news, pictures, links, and streams to delight & inspire you!

Darcy hoped to host a video today, but pulled the Inevitable Cataclysm #SoothDeck card! Her laptop must be excised of magical viruses, but a vislae must carry on, so enjoy these still-magical tweets:
This fresh-off-the-press sample of Book M has GORGEOUS art (honestly, took @DarcyLRoss's breath away), spells, ephemera objects, character secrets, & more!

The final product comes in a slipcase with spell cards, so we must drool in wait:

Weird critter news!
@EVNautilus video reveals a deep-sea gulper eel that baffles the commentator scientists, and then astounds as it unleashes its bizarre jaw and becomes recognizeable:

Inspiring for #Numenera critters or perhaps #InvisibleSunRPG demons?

Stream starting in a few minutes where I'll pull apart a few minutes of @OpenAI bot vs bot play. No past DotA experience necessary! I'll record and post online after too :)
twitch.tv/smerity/
Highlights:
Sven (blue) + Lion (red) gank (=surprise attack) an enemy
Techniques: blink (=short range teleport) to initiate and then chain stuns (i.e. if you and your team mate both have a 2 second stun it's best to stun A, wait 2 seconds, stun B, ...)
twitch.tv/videos/3003208…
Team fight with Sven (blue guy went to red due to ultimate) and Tidehunter (green snake texture)
Technique: Sven is about to die, is force staffed (magically pushed a few metres) to safety whilst simultaneously using a long range stun to set up Tide's ult

I am scheduling a series of Tweets about this twitch.tv/videos/2101488… in order to illustrate why these guys are a HUGE part of the problem that Star Citizen has become. Hootsuite is acting up, but watch the segment for about 5 mins. brb
Guys like @wtfosaurus, @BoredGamerUK, @TheAstroPub, @Twerk17Gaming are literally the Fox News equivalent of Star Citizen broadcasters. But worse because they're "gamers"
These are some of the guys who, for years, have helped promote CIG/RSI message of not only lying to and misleading backers, but also engaging in various marketing & propaganda activities
