Home News (Image credit: Bloomberg (via Getty Images)) Truly, the gamer tag is our digital handshake, a greeting we extend that says "B0ngSm0ka95" or "xXxShadowGoku420" to introduce ourselves to our friends and/or enemies. Now, a new change to Twitch's username policy aims to ensure some manners and decorum around the gamer's handshake moving forward.In the company's own words: "...we have additional, higher standards for usernames based on reducing harm across our services. Usernames and display names created on Twitch may not include:  Breaking the Law, including Terrorism and Child Exploitation Violence and ThreatsHateful ConductHarassment and Sexual HarassmentUnauthorized Sharing of Private InformationImpersonationGlorification of natural or violent tragediesSelf-Destructive BehaviorReferences to recreational drugs, hard drugs, and drug abuse, with exceptions for alcohol, tobacco, and marijuanareferences to sexual acts, genital, or sexual fluids."To be frank, those don't strike me as unreasonable standards for one of the most prominent forms of communication on the platform, and Twitch also outlined its new system of enforcement for username infractions.For your average Twitch user whose gamer tag just falls a little bit outside of acceptable bounds, the company will institute mandatory username resets with no other consequences barring repeated setting of an offending name.Twitch does, however, reserve the right to indefinitely…

Join us as we play out the final championship of our Madden NFL 22 tournament. No matter who wins, we all lose. RIP, John Madden. It’s the last day of our John Madden Memorial Shack Staff Super Challenge 2022. We’ve done the best we can to honor John Madden’s memory this week as we lead up to the actual Super Bowl this coming Sunday. Now, only one game remains. TJ Denzer and Donovan Erskine are set to throw down in a mighty matchup. Who will come out on top and be cursed with reviewing Madden 23? During this week, TJ Denzer, Ozzie Mejia, Asif Khan, Blake Morse, Donovan Erskine, Chris Jarrard, and Dennis White have gone head to head in the dismal arena that is Madden NFL 22. We work with what we have, but it has been quite the experience (albeit not one befitting of one of the most legendary NFL figures of all time). Nonetheless, the competition has chipped down to two final teams. TJ Denzer will take his Kansas City Chiefs against Donovan Erskine’s Baltimore Ravens in one final match up to take it all. Can Mahomes and his high-powered receivers outplay the dynamic game of Lamar…

Generally speaking, “subathons,” marathon streams where content creators stream nonstop for days on end, are strenuous affairs. Although the events can help rack up subscriptions, streaming every day and even as they sleep at night, is a ton of work. Luckily, one streamer, Ironmouse has figured out a clever workaround: Instead of streaming her actual body sleeping, she simply leaves an avatar on screen. She can do this because she’s a virtual YouTuber (Vtuber), a term for a content creator who uses a virtual model of a character to stream, instead of showing their actual face with a camera. Ironmouse’s design has pink and purple hair, with horns. The adorable demon-looking character streams on Twitch for an agency called VShojo and is known for her karaoke streams and lewd sense of humor. As the person behind Ironmouse moves their head and talks, the character on screen will mirror their movements. In addition to having their characters on screen, Vtubers will often layer objects over their models to change environments. Previously, some Vtubers have layered over images to make it look like the characters are in different outfits or sets, like a hot tub. Ironmouse however, made a bed for her…

As we reported earlier this week, the men’s teams from Florida and NC State will be battling head-to-head in a Fortnite matchup Wednesday night. Two of the top swimming & diving programs in the country will contest an 8v8 tournament-style Battle Royale game beginning at 7 pm (EST), with bragging rights on the line as they prepare for their respective conference championship meets later this month. SwimSwam has acquired five Twitch streams for viewers to pick from for a first-person perspective of the match. NC State Streaming Options: twitch.tv/arseniobustos (Arsenio Bustos) twitch.tv/rafalk_ncsu (Rafael Kusto) twitch.tv/klozee12 (Kacper Stokowski) twitch.tv/cynicallxbl (Aiden Hayes) Florida Streaming Option: twitch.tv/k3vin_varg (Kevin Vargas) At least for Florida’s stream, courtesy of junior Kevin Vargas, the stream will go live around 6:40 before the game starts at 7. The swimmers are partaking in the match as a way to get to know one another in what has been an otherwise difficult two years to do so amidst the pandemic. “I think a fun little competition like the one we are going to have next week will be a great one for the sport of swimming, as we often only focus on the swimming relationship between teams,” said NC State freshman…

Lost Ark, the new massively multiplayer online role-playing game from Amazon Games and Smilegate, officially launches in North America and Europe on Feb. 11, bringing the Korean fantasy hit to a global audience for the first time. But the free-to-play fantasy PC game is already a hit on Steam — where various Founder’s Packs that grant extra in-game items and early access to the game are topping the sales charts — and Twitch — where more than a million people are currently watching other people play Lost Ark to earn in-game items, or Twitch Drops. Lost Ark is an isometric action RPG, similar to Blizzard’s Diablo games, only the spells are bigger, the warriors are hotter, and everything feels cranked up to 11 (yes, the hero in the key art above is carrying a holy minigun outfitted with a chainsaw bayonet). Lost Ark offers 15 playable classes — six main classes, plus nine advanced sub-classes — to adventure through the world of Arkesia with, slaying demonic hordes with flourish and flair along the way. You can fight with heavy artillery or you can be a monster-shredding musician in Lost Ark. And if you’ve ever dreamed of having Dante (you know,…

Let's pick it up with more skankcore64, Bryan's quest to complete every N64 game released in North America. Good day to you, most excellent Shacknews users, the twilight of another weekend begins to fall so I'm here with the next installment of skankcore64. My personal trek through every Nintendo 64 game released in North America is set to go live once again at 3:00 p.m. PT/ 6:00 p.m. ET, only on Shacknews Twitch. Join me as I pick it up, it being the last collectibles needed to complete Banjo-Kazooie. Episode 114 - (Not Quite) The Big Game Antecedently on skankcore64, I climbed the great tree of Click Clock Wood four times over with seasonal differences in each attempt. With a tight livestream schedule last Wednesday, I had to cut my exploration just short of completing the level and exited with almost all of the shiny bits and baubles. I didn't want to end things prematurely, but sometimes the plot of a good story needs a cliffhanger every now and then. On today's episode, the last two Jiggies of Click Clock Wood are waiting to be collected. I already have everything I need to finish the game, battle Gruntilda, and rescue Tooty…
