<\/div>I’ll be playing Grand Theft Auto V. Well, not so much playing as wandering around, commenting on the technology, and poking at bits of the simulation to see how it responds. <\/p>\n
I realize it’s just the nature of the medium, but it bugs me that I’m slack-faced in the image. I realize everyone does this and it’s nothing abnormal, but it feels<\/em> abnormal to me.<\/p>\n Yes, that is the face we make when we play a videogame. But that’s not<\/em> the face we use when talking to people. When we’re talking to people we make eye contact and adopt some facial expression. Even if you’re talking to a large group of people, you keep your face expressive. <\/p>\n But when it’s only a camera watching you, the entire social thing collapses and most of us revert to our unflattering “staring at the television” face, which isn’t very welcoming. That’s the face of someone who is tuning you out because they’re not interested in what you have to say.<\/p>\n This is probably only a big deal to old-timers like me. Or maybe just<\/em> me. I dunno. <\/p>\n Anyway. I’ll be streaming at 6pm tonight, eastern time. That works out to 11pm GMT. Again, this is just a test stream. <\/p>\n When I go live, it’ll be on my Twitch page<\/a>. I’ll announce here and on Twitter<\/a> when I go live.<\/p>\n EDIT: That was fun. Thanks for watching. I’ll upload the VOD to YouTube for those that missed it. <\/p>\n I don’t know if I’ll make this a regular<\/em> thing, but we will be doing it again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Due to quasi-popular demand (and personal curiosity) I’m planning on doing some streaming.
