Because Massvio and Pixel Legion are owned by the same group you will see further updates about Pixel Legion here in the future.

This tweet is the latest GIF to date, While the GIF’s below have been getting slowly released.

Running

A character running around while exploring a campsite

Destruction

Chainsaw test

Effects

Standing in a meadow

Getting Gas

This is by far my favorite as it shows the developers sense of humor. Needed in a world based on fear.

Driving

This movie gives you a sense of the world, it’s colors, how you interact with the enviroment while in a car. So cool.

Car derby

They are working and revising various parts of the graphics and this shows the awesomeness of vehicles smashing into one another.

More Chainsaw Action

The amount of weapons in this game seems endless, however it also seems like a chainsaw will be a mainstay weapon which we will rely on heavily.

Pillows!

Again, another hilarious scene in which we get to see some sillyness while experiencing another cool aspect of the game.

More Weather Variations

I’ve exposed a lot more variety to the weather system, so overcast days get rain and sunny days get heat, and each gets their own specialized tone mapping. It’ll allow more variety to be added really easily now, too

Stabby stabby

Stabbing weapon animation tests!

Flashlight and MAC 10

Dual wielding test – these animations weren’t designed to go together but I’m thinking I’ll see if I can make it work because it feels badass

Motel

A scenecap from Dead Static Drive – outside a motel with an axe and a bad feeling

Screenshake

This is a pretty over-the-top demo, but I’ve added a linear screenshake for weapon firing

Bethesda’s List of Events

• Skyrim VR & DOOM VFR on SONY/PLAYSTATION booth (Stand 44 – Hall 1 raw D)
• DOOM Switch and Skyrim Switch on NINTENDO booth (Stand 02 – Hall 1 raw A)
• Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus on SHADOW booth (Stand 09 – Hall 1 raw G)
• Quake Champions on ESWC booth (Stand 33 – Hall 3 raw H)

How does the game change?

First off you can now see your weapons. That may be a sword and shield or your hands when casting a spell. The GUI is also different in that it is fixed in your view. You can look in nearly any direction and not know it’s there which makes that experience a bit strange. It appears that you can even bypass it altogether.

Pictures really don’t do this experience justice. You really have to see it. Better yet experience it first hand.

No word on when this will be available for PC but it is set to be released on the PlayStation 4 version soon.

Hands-on review from The Verge

From the trailer, we get four new characters. Yara, Lev, Emily, and mysterious new women. Some people are theorizing this new mysterious figure to be Anna, Eli’s mother. Emily is being dragged to be hung, and later Yara is brought in and questioned. From there the action gets bloody and a bit gory.

The Creative Director Neil Druckmann for Naughty Dog said this about the game;

“At its core, The Last of Us Part II is still very much about Ellie and Joel, but for this reveal, we wanted to showcase several new characters that are integral to their next journey. We’re sure you will have many questions after watching this scene.

We’re also pretty sure that we’re going to see all sorts of theories about whom these characters are, where and when this scene takes place, and how all of this fits into Ellie and Joel’s next story. For now, we’re keeping mum, but we’re excited to see what y’all make of this piece of the puzzle.”

“Instead of giving you an adjacent puzzle piece about Ellie and Joel’s journey, we wanted to go somewhere else and give you something else and see how people make the connections. But as far as who these characters are, what their conflict is, where this takes place, when this takes place, going to leave it up to the fans for now,” Druckmann said.

Introduction

Gaming is one of Youtube’s fastest growing segments. Getting paid for playing video games is not a new idea, but playing while talking about it is. Gamers by the millions watch other people play video games as much as they play the games themselves.

Everyday tens to hundreds of gamers dream about the idea that they might be able to make the cut and be a Youtube star. The list below contains the forerunners to this emerging genre. I round it out with a few people who could become some of the elite.

The Established

The channels listed below have been working at this in some way or another for a few years. Many have come from a tournament, podcast, or traditional broadcasting backgrounds. While others just have a natural ability to connect with other people through their voice and personality.

The channels here have set trends, earned developers respect, and have even driven games to profitability.

Yogscast

Louis and Simon started off by playing an assortment of video games until they finally found Minecraft. At the time Minecraft had been doing okay by itself, but once the duo started to focus on the game, their careers and Minecraft as a game took off. The primary reason why Yogscast tops this list is because they brought the idea of scripting and producing videos of Minecraft into the forefront. Many successful channels have since borrowed that idea and are now very popular because of what Yogscast helped pioneer.

Today Yogscast boasts over 20 Million subscribers across 5 channels with more than 2 Billion video views.

Total Biscuit

John has a couple of aliases including, The Cynical Brit, Totalhalibut, and TB. He spent some of his earlier careers at tentonhammer.com where he met some of his current Youtube friends. For a long time, TB went it alone and traveled to cast tournaments around the world for a variety of games. Currently, TB one of the more influential gaming channels on Youtube. He often makes compelling content and champions internet causes for gamers. He is part of Polaris, one of the founding members and publishes content to support it with Dodger, Jessie Cox and random guests in the Co-Optional Podcasts.

Swifty

While Swifty doesn’t have the subscriber base as some of the others on this list, his influence is seen far and wide. Swifty is primarily known for his Warrior guides and video uploads about World of Warcraft. He has gone on to inspire many current and past Youtube stars and has established a network of fans and supporters worldwide. Switfy helped pioneer the Let’s Play Youtube advertising and sponsorships. One of his most notable achievements in this area was being one of the first gamers to get a contract with Razor and giving away thousands of Razor gear items over the past few years to his viewer base.

While John’s Youtube uploads have waned slightly recently, his Twitch presence has increased ten fold and can be found streaming 24-hour casts from his Gamer House.

TobyGames

Currently running 3 Youtube channels, each having its own purpose. Toby has a total of over 15 million subscribers and over 3.2 billion video views. TobyGames is his Let’s Play channel, originally helping popularize Terraria and Happy Wheels. Tobuscus is his entertainment channel which he uses to upload his ridiculous personality videos to. TobyTuner is his video log channel. If you want to get to know the real Toby and see some random animation check out this channel.

• TobyTurner — https://www.youtube.com/user/TobyTurner

Drumpf

Counted as the most popular Hearthstone streamer, his twitch and youtube presence is huge. TrumpSC lives by playing video games and works tirelessly to keep both platforms up to date. One aspect of his Twitch videos that you won’t see on Youtube are his videos of him singing popular songs.

His background includes casting Hearthstone tournaments and winning some awards at Blizzcon. His loyal fan base increases everyday and can regularly stream to 30k plus, and draw in over 60k views on his youtube videos just a day after publishing.

TheRadBrad

This guy is known as one of the best Let’s Play video makers. His videos are often liked in the tens of thousands on youtube. Brad has a unique and distinctive voice armed with a very likable personality he plays games and makes you feel like you’re in the room with him.

As a prop gag he used to be known as the gamer that threw chairs, but as his popularity increased he has settled down and now mostly just entertains us with his personality.

Athene

Athene [along with Reese] is an amazing guy because he is one of the few gamers who actively give back. Raising over $20 Million in donations in 2014, he fed thousands of children. If you are not aware of that side of Athene you may know him as the ultimate troll. He loves to fuck with people and stir up controversy regarding his personal gaming achievements in games like World Of Warcraft and Hearthstone, among others.

PewDiePie

Felix is known for being a celebrity, video-gamer, and comedian who uploads horror based Let’s Play games. His sometimes over-the-top personality drives the videos and makes him enjoyable to watch. Felix has consistently been the most subscribed to gamer boasting over 33 Million subscriptions for the last couple years.

Up-and-Coming

The breakout stars of 2013 until now are listed here. Their subscriber base isn’t as large as the established, but they are on their way.

Jessie Cox

Jessie got his start at the same time as TB at tentonhammer.com, but Jessie stuck to his path and carved out a niche of his own. Today Jessie is doing his own thing, though parting with OFMGCata and WoW, he now co-hosts Co-Optional Podcast show with TB, Danger and a random assortment of other personalities. Jessie is known as a voice actor, had an incredibly successful run at a Skyrim Let’s Play and Witcher2 where he extends his talents and has even landed a few gigs in some videos games, you may have played.

Gamebreaker TV

Before there was Twitch or even before Justin.TV had made a name for itself, Gary Gannon created Gamebreaker TV. Until recently they were using Blip.TV as their video platform. Many of the old Legendary shows are no long available to watch at Gamebreaker.tv – Legendary was their breakout hit which helped popularize the small gaming empire they were about to create. Some early stars including MikeB and Lore would sit in with Gary and discuss the latest news on the popular game World of Warcraft.

After some issues regarding monetization, Gary has dropped Blip.tv, and now moved Gamebreaker TV video services to Youtube. As of Jan 2015 and this post they have 14 thousand subscribers. Undoubtedly they will reclaim their status in this medium in 2015.

Sips

Sips has his hands in all sorts of games and his unique voice and delightful personality makes him very easy to watch and listen to.

AngryJoeShow

A very smart and funny guy, angry joe uses his rough stern personality to communicate his personal feelings to gamers worldwide.

Kripparrian

He got started his broadcasting career after he got a chance to cast ESGN TV’s Fight Night Hearthstone. After which he got opportunities to cast other tournaments and his Youtube and Twitch channels started to take off. Unlike TrumpSC, Krip rarely posts loosing videos on his Youtube channel which has been propping up his legendary status as a HearthStone player.

GhostRobo

Ghostrobo has been growing rapidly. When I discovered his channel he had around 600k subscribers and as of Jan 2015 he is now close to 1.2 Million. Ghost mirrors lots of the same games TheRadBrad plays, often giving viewers a new perspective. He is different and in ways that you might not expect. He will dive into playing Wii U as well as do some of his personal video blogging on his main channel.

XboxAhoy

Ahoy as he goes by now has some amazing content on his channel. He likes to produce content in which he finds specific topics to cover and then will follow up with a series of videos. An example of that is covering guns in games like TitanFall, or doing a series of videos with amazing art direction on the history of video games.

He has a total of 4 channels right now. Ahoy2 features videos which answer questions posed to him via twitter and some Let’s Play videos. AhoyReto is for older Let’s Play titles and finally his DrinksAhoy channel is dedicated to talking about beer.

• Ahoy — https://www.youtube.com/user/XboxAhoy/
• Ahoy² — https://www.youtube.com/user/AhoyXbox
• RetroAhoy — https://www.youtube.com/user/RetroAhoy
• DrinksAhoy — https://www.youtube.com/user/DrinksAhoy

VanossGaming

Vanoss usually groups up with some friends and then lightly scripts out what they want to accomplish and then roughly do it. His videos generally provide a good show because of all the guests he brings in. Think of Vanoss as a Let’s Play channel with friends.

jacksepticeye

Jack has an explosive personality. His Irish background and accent help bring his Let’s Play videos some depth. He often plays Happy Wheels and can be found to collaborate with other Youtube personalities.

Sky Does Minecraft

Sky is in a group of players who join Minecraft servers to compete or set objectives and complete them all while have a great time doing it. Some of the more popular video series he runs are, Finish the story!! and LoveCraft.

HikeTheGamer

Known for mostly his Grand Theft Auto V scripted videos Hike has also done some Minecraft videos. Lots of his GTA V and Online videos consist of funny moment recap videos.

FRANKIEonPCin1080p

Frankie is known for his compilation videos in a variety of games he plays including: Arma 3, Day-Z, and other well-known first person shooters. His about profile on his gaming channel sums it up nicely. “The best place for Funny Moments, the Best Upcoming Games, Epic Laughs and Surviving in the Wild!”.

I have been playing Banished off and one since it was released at the beginning of 2014. With the mods kit looming there is renewed interest in the game from those of us who have put hundreds of hours into it.

With the release of the mod kit coming there will be a new wave of players entering the game and because of that I have decided to publish a list of tips from a redditor by the name of chowriit. Their post is linked at the end of this article.

These are a few highlights from his thread. (NOTE: Items in this list may change due to future patches.)

Wooden houses burn (very approximately) 30 firewood a winter, while stone houses burn roughly 15. Using trading values to calculate the value of the saved firewood, a stone house pays off the investment of building it (instead of a wooden house) in ~5 years (in pure resource costs, assuming you’re trading the firewood for the building resources – the time to pay off is slightly higher, due to the opportunity cost of using the trader).

A trading post can be great for micromanaging your supply of materials – set your desired levels up to 9999 for (for example) stone and iron tools and your traders will move them from everywhere on the map into the trading post, then set the desired quantity back to zero, and they’ll move it all out again – into the nearest stockpile and storage barn. As traders carry 5 times as much as normal labourers, this is an efficient way to move large quantities of material about, e.g. from your outer foresters. You can also mark the nearest stockpile for demolition to cause them to drop off at the second nearest, etc. I like to use this to micromanage a few hundred logs into the stockpile next to my woodcutters every few years.

Idle traders work as labourers, but despite not having their wheelbarrows they appear to still have their increased carrying capacity, making them more efficient than normal labourers (more tests are needed on this one, and it’s presumed to be a bug).

Education is incredibly important. While we don’t have hard numbers for most professions, there seems to be a 33%-50% improvement in working speed or resources gathered per action across the board. Woodcutters produce 4 firewood per log instead of 3 with education (massively improving your output of a vital resource and probably the best trade good in the game), tailors produce coats two at a time (twice as fast, but no improvement in resource efficiency) and blacksmiths produce two tools instead of one per action, while consuming the same resources (double speed AND double resource efficiency, although this is presumably a bug and that they should act similar to the tailor). It’s worth checking regularly to ensure your blacksmith and perhaps also woodcutters are educated.

The best place for your first foresters lodge? The (nearly) middle of your town! You won’t expand in buildings fast for 5-10 years, so most of the area will remain free for trees for a long time, by having a short commute to houses, food and stockpiles it will actually likely be as or more efficient as one on the edge of your town, and your labourers can easily clear out all blocking stone and iron deposits early on without having to walk too far (and frankly, that’s where you’re likely to be mining stone anyway). My current game is in year 15, and my central forester is still producing more wood a year than the two in dedicated foresting areas. Your mileage may vary.

Hold shift to build diagonal roads. They take up twice the number of squares and therefore building time (and stone, for stone roads), and buildings cannot be built efficiently on them, but if workers need to travel on a diagonal anyway they provide 41% more efficient routes (square root of two) than going around in a square, if the workers weren’t cutting the corner on the previous road.

You can find the remaining tips which I didn’t list in this reddit thread. http://www.reddit.com/r/Banished/comments/1yu1eq/banished_discoveries_data_and_tips/
