It's Twitch Drop Friay! I don't know if that is really a thing but you can get free loot this weekend for linking your Overwatch and Fortnite accounts to Twitch and watching participating streamers.
The Overwatch Stadium play test starts today. This was mentioned a month or so back but now we can get our hands on it. Connect your Overwatch and Twitch accounts and watch one of the participating streamers to earn 5 Battle Pass Tier Skips. I have not tried it yet but have been watching and it looks like a big mess. As Nopal would say, 'Too many buttons'. I'll give it a try though when I have some free time. Maybe I'll stream it so you can see what it is like. Check out the official Stadium Gameplay Trailer now!
I have been messing around with YouTube 'shorts' the last couple of days and found they get a lot better traffic than regular videos. Thee Fortnite videos managed to get almost 1,000 views while an Overwatch one is getting close to 2,000 views. I'm guessing shorts get promoted on the YouTube Shorts playlist heavily for the first day and then are replaced by new content the next day with there still being a chance for some views in the following days because the videos climbed quickly for the first 24 hours and are now getting a few views here and there.
I also think if you start getting more attention, the YouTube algorythm will start to take notice as the original QuakePark video was removed this morning for not following YouTube's harassment policy. Not a big deal. It had only received 16 votes in the two years since it was posted and I can still host the video locally so you can still watch it on the official QuakePark website. The video contains graphic violence. Viewer discretion is strongly advised.
This October, worlds will collide. At least that's what the YouTube page for the official Tron: Ares trailer is telling me. It looks pretty good with Tron bad guys in the real world. I think I even hear Flynn in there.
Nintendo of America released a new Switch 2 presentation video showing off some of the new features and some games. Mario Kart World looks amazing. And for the first time ever, Nintendo has built in audio and video chat! I know playing other games it is a lot more fun to be able to taunt your friends during the game. The Nintendo Switch 2 launches June 5 and will cost $449.99 US.
