Get Jackie on a real episode! Love seeing her on the show (this being her third time), but when is she gonna challenge your review?

[newchallenger]

@TrentR42 Very soon, sir. Very soon.

Shouldn't WoW have more?

I know it's not an FPS, but does it really matter...

[newchallenger]

@KillstealingPrick Different games require different kinds of technology - shooters are hard/expensive to scale because of how crippling even the slightest lag can have on the experience. MMOs are intense, too, but there's a bit more wiggle room for lag, plus instancing helps balance out the more intense areas in most games.

[DanielBoa]

It sounded fairly unstable. How would it handle a 'real' game, which would be far more straining on the server? And still loving the show man, any news on more Syndicate previews/reviews?

[newchallenger]

@DanielBoa I thiiiiiink we've got something coming today, but I have to double-check.

As far as handling a more intense game…. eeeeehhhhh, not on the amount of hardware they had. I think the real point of this thing was to show their server technology can do a lot with a little, and then let actual developers buy it and scale it from there.

Jackie is hot

[juakinote]

i love you anthony, im not sure if homo or no homo, ill let you know later

[Shadoerider]

@KillstealingPrick WoW uses a lot of different servers when you zone into different zones you are on a different server. Blizzard made seamless zoning so you don't notice the server changes

friend showed me this vid, loved it, and looking forward to more

[SealFormulaMaster]

@newchallenger Going on the technology side of things, would this type of server technology be used for MMOs in the future to reduce the lag? I know that this server is meant to increase the amount of players from a 6V6 in Battlefield to say, 10V10 or even 15V15 and have the same amount of lag as now, but I would like to see PvP in MMOs grow as well.

DId anyone else notice Max Scoville in the corner.

Jackie, your the cutest chick on ze internet.

[JennaHaze2000]

for such a basic game I'm surprized they couldn't do more then 500

In todays tech world I would think atleast 10,000 would be easy to do.

counter strike did 64 player shooter a long long time ago and that game has crazy graphics

[MudHut67]

Team Jackie or team Tara?

[Tolstoievsky]

@zab666 yeah, she's dying

[falseprophecy]

@jackierulesall It's why I like winter. Scarves are one of the few ways men can accessorize without resorting to obnoxious jewelry.

not only is Maax in the background....you can see Tera coughing madly in the background at 2:40 :-)
