I love Kyle's Streams. I would watch them religiously when he was still with EZA. Nowadays I pick and choose just because they go on for so long. I try to watch the ones I can live but I will almost always watch the VoD if I wanted to see the stream.

One of the things that I love is his creativity.

For example, this month he collaborated with chat to create 8 characters for a fighting game concept, which resulted in Bruised Egos. He then launched a Game Jam for people to create origin story games for any of the 8 characters. Kyle's going to stream every entry in tomorrows stream.

This kind of big project is admittedly few and far between, but the creativity seeps into the rest of the content. Only Kyle wants to stream How to Draw the Marvel Way, a CD Rom from 1995. Only Kyle makes fun bits as part of his streams like Praise and Scold.

The community that rose around Kyle's streams, even in the EZA days was so cozy and fun, and it continues to be so. He's the most entertaining solo streamer I've ever watched, and I'm not exaggerating.

Like, I get if you have no interest in streaming, but Kyle left because he didn't want to be a video producer anymore, so I don't really see the problem 🤷‍♀️

Just finished It Takes Two. It deserves GOTY nominations at the very least. It’s currently my favourite release of the year and it’s going to be tough to beat.

@brunojoey Thanks :)

This is from Wikipedia?

" It was first published in 1974 by Tactical Studies Rules, Inc. (TSR).[5] It has been published by Wizards of the Coast (now a subsidiary of Hasbro) since 1997. "

Hey @brunojoey Love your website. I was wondering, would it be possible to add Publisher as a field? I find those trends really interesting.

@dipset Trials HD closed off the Summer of Arcade. It was an event on Xbox Live when a new high profile game came out every week.

Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes
Shadow Complex

2009 was especially good. I think it was this and Shadow Complex that proved a game didn't have to come from a physical shop to be good.

@scotty Think what you wanna think but I don't think your anger is justified. You haven't paid for the game at all. You were given it for "free". I don't think Square reserving the PS5 version for people who have actually paid them money is all that outrageous.

@dipset That's awesome to hear!

Not sure if you played them yet but but the DLC leads directly into Miles Morales, especially the last one. They're not super long to crit path, but the only relevant stuff is a cutscene and some phone calls here and there, so you can also go straight into Miles Morales if you really want.

@dipset

Anyone can create a Contract. It's basically a customised level, where rather than the normal target, you select a random person, and you must kill them in a specific way with the specific costume.

IOI regularly features contracts from the community that they think are particularly good, but it seems with Hitman 3, they've partnered with Web-based Outlets and featured some contracts from those guys.

Easy Allies have created some Featured Contracts for March!

None of them for Narrative. Refreshing honestly.
