Live Streaming and YouTube Gaming with Sean Burke

This week, Steve talks about his all new freelancing gig and then they cover some news: Sword Coast Legends: If you're a fan of Dungeons & Dragons and the video games that are based in that universe [ Neverwinter Nights , Baldur's Gate , Icewind Dale ] then you're in luck! A new game based on the Fifth Edition ruleset of Dungeons & Dragons is coming this year! [ via GameZone ] XCOM 2: The release date for the next installment in the XCOM series has been pushed back to February of 2016, which is sad...but also gives us plenty more time to invest in to Fallout 4 ! [ via PC Gamer ] Then we're joined by Sean Burke to talk about live streaming and the culture behind Let's Plays. Over the course of the last few years, all new avenues for gaming broadcast have opened up and become increasingly popular. YouTube has been the primary place to find hundreds and thousands of Let's Plays from a multitude of funny and talented personalities ( LIKE US! Go check out Pylons Play! ) On the live stream side of it, Twitch went from a modest following to being acquired by Amazon for just short of $1 billion dollars last year. In an effort to compete, YouTube launched YouTube Gaming last week in the hopes to cater to some of the disenfranchised live streamers. What are your thoughts on Let's Plays and live streaming? Would you rather play a game than watch someone else? Tell us below in the comments and we'll talk about it on next week's show! Sean Burke is a former colleague of Steve's and a marketing extraordinaire. He's a big fan of console gaming and PC gaming and just gaming in general. And he accidentally died in our XCOM playthrough! You can find him on Twitter @spb273 . If you want to play video games with him you can on PS4 - SPB273 and on Steam !
