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

I'm seeing the HTML5 player.

What browser? I'm using chrome, and I had to use the devtools to hide the overlays so I could get it to play. Now the video is showing behind the text on the page, but at least I can see it.

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.

Didnt the guy that made the "Twitch Plays Pokemon" do this? He probably made an absolute killing.

That or amazon did for sure (owns Twitch)

html5=true will play html5.

But I had to disable every possible ad/tracking blocker (even Firefox native) for it to work, kind of ridiculous.

P.S. The deer crashed, so its not moving.

Honestly, why not though? Write a sufficient enough AI, get your camera angles right, and slow down the decision tree with some dialogue, and you've essentially got a movie. Not saying it'll be grand, but it certainly won't be the worst thing produced in a given year; probably guaranteed to be the best for a given cost.

Further on that, you could probably create a batshit-insane zoo of some sort which combined a variety of animals in a fixed environment. Make it an Apple TV app/channel.

In a physical zoo experience, the animals are caged and often just hide out the day. In the batshit-insane zoo, they'd be entertaining everyone all the time without any animal welfare issues.

In can foresee a time where the majority of people (e.g., not purists or those with money to travel) are more regularly entertained by virtual animals than the real thing.

Take GTA V, add Godzilla and let the public watch what happens.
