Its currently being shot by a tank. Cant it die?

And then the Batman vs Superman advertisement showed up. I thought that was rather fitting... :-)

Guessing they've just replaced the player skin with that of the deer. Would make sense, since a program could read the players position from memory and pick random targets or directions for it to head towards. Also makes sense why it would be shot at...

Sad to say that it's better viewing than almost all free-to-air TV in Australia. Someone should extend this to script a series of characters in various games and automate Twitch production to make a living.

That's exactly what I said! More entertaining than any Aussie TV :)

Jesus, Twitch is still using Flash? What year is it anyway?

Yeah, right? That said, you can avoid the Flash by streaming the video to a native video player with ttp://docs.livestreamer.io/

Interesting. I tried livestreamer first and got an error about it not recognizing the URL pattern, but then I just upgraded and it seems to be working
