    This whole VOD/YouTube thing is going to bring things to a head quickly.

    As content owners, this drives us crazy - it makes it harder for our musician(s) to get exposure, and just makes it harder for people to do something we fully endorse - basically stream our content it their discretion. It's to our benefit and that of the streamers to encourage this.

    Yeah, the last thing I want is for a video of our game to get flagged because a person wanted to play Get Jiggy With It alongside their GW playthrough.

    What are your/our options if Twitch decides to start muting audio just because it detects Howard's music? I've already read some reports of Twitch muting videos because of the actual game's music.

    I start driving door to door to the places who are claiming ownership of our music and hitting them with a whiffle bat.

    Best mental image ever. I'm bringing a wiffle cricket bat to PAX.

    On the bright side, there's a chance this means every PA video will end up needing to use the PA soundtrack instead of whatever people have on spotify.

    Google is definitely trying to monopolize the internet.

    Minus the crappy editing, if you find this funny you probably understand it well enough ;)

    It's a game for a more sophisticated nation. Also Britain.

    It's a game that takes 4 days to complete (Duration may be exaggerated/hyperbole). Bored now. I'm not big on watching televised sports, but I understand the appeal of watching cricket a little less than most sports. :)

    Depends on which variant. Twenty20 is over in an afternoon, so 4 days is exaggerated. Test cricket can take over a month (best of 5 test matches, limit of 5 days per test match, plus time between for players to recover), making 4 days a vast understatement.

    There are also ODIs (one-day internationals: should give you a hint as to the duration)
