The Most Confusing AoE2 Technologies

[forgottenbones]

Qui per ricordarvi che AoE2 è ancora un gioco bello vivo, con una comunità attiva, e-sport, tornei, premi in denaro e tutto il resto. Spesso e volentieri commentato (se non proprio organizzato) dal buon Tristan qui, che dà un occhio anche ai niubbi, nella serie Low Elo Legends.

25th of February - 3rd of March

I don't know if any of y'all are interested, but I am very excited for Hidden Cup V.

I watched HC4 with my partner when we were still early in our relationship and have been waiting to watch the next one together ever since!

What is Hidden Cup under the cut

Hidden Cup V (abbr. HC5) is an Age of Empires II 1v1 tournament hosted by T90Official. After qualifiers are done, players are "hidden" until the end of the tournament. Neither the commentators, the audience, or the top 16 competitors know the real identity of the players in each match.

I had never watched or been interested in Age of Empires II (or the likes) before, but watching this tournament together was a lot of fun!

I saw your tags on that AOE post, and they were super on point lol. I'm curious, do you follow any of the competitive scene, or just enjoy it in sp?

I occasionally watch some of T90Official's youtube commentary so I'm roughly aware of the general scene but don't follow it very closely and haven't watched anything live in years. I think its very cool that its still being supported officially.

I mostly just play the campaigns because my preferred style of RTS is very slow and considered which MP AoE is Not.

Recently, fans gathered to watch Hidden Cup 3, a tournament format hosted by T90Official where pro Age players compete under hidden identities so that neither competitors or viewers know who is playing who.

Social Gaming

Believe it or not, there was a time not too long ago before Fortnite, before Facebook games and before online gaming in general where video games were a somewhat private activity. I remember being ten years old, spending a whole weekend playing Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 on the PS2, and being completely fine with the fact I was simply versing the game not a person. This concept seems so outdated and irrelevant these days; what’s the point if I’m not competing against someone, what a waste of time! So where did social gaming originate? With the emergence and dominance (at least dominance in Australia) of social media site, Facebook, arguably the origins of popular online gaming begun with Facebook games such as Farmville, Candy Crush and Words with Friends. Facebook games allowed users to verse, play co-op, in-game gift, in-game chat and share the gaming experience with friends and random people across the world. In 2017, Fortnite became a social gaming phenomenon across the world. Fortnite is a free to play battle royale shooter survival game (https://www.epicgames.com/fortnite/en-US/home). Whilst, Fortnite highlighted the benefits and power of aspects of online gaming, it also bought to light the dangers and issues of social gaming. Addiction to Fortnite in children and young people is a growing concern (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2WNWSnWFnQ), so much so that online support groups for parents and their kids have sprung up in an attempt to combat addiction (https://gamequitters.com/parents-guide-to-fortnite-addiction/). Another issue Fortnite has shone on social gaming is due the nature of the game and how it appeals to young people, regulating behaviour has become a huge concern, so much so that the creators of the game have pursued a lawsuit against a 14 year old for cheating (https://www.vg247.com/2018/04/26/fortnite-lawsuit-cheaters-epic-14-year-old/). Whilst social gaming does have its drawbacks, it’s not all cause for concern. With platforms like Twitch, cool little networked publics have sprung up. Twitch allows ‘casters’ to broadcast online games to audiences across the world. I for one, am not a huge gamer, but, I do use twitch to watch Age of Empire (a game that is now 20 years old) matches out of nostalgia (https://www.twitch.tv/t90official ). I have found that the communities on twitch are for the most part, inclusive and positive.

To wrap up, I want to recommend a video game podcast called Filthy Casuals. In this particular episode http://www.filthycasuals.com.au/2019/01/17/ Wil Wagner of the Smith Street Band talks about how online gaming has become an awesome tool for passing the time for touring bands.
