Are you keeping count?


Hey watchers, we're celebrating! Our <span class="bold">Twitch</span> channel recently reached 40,000 followers and we want to say "thank you" in the most appropriate way. So get yourselves comfortable and brew a cauldron of your favorite hot beverage, because we're taking you with us: it's a 40-hour streaming marathon, with 40 games, plenty of streamers, and 40 giveaways.

The marathon is already underway but don't worry if you've missed some games - it will keep going until Saturday, 6AM UTC.
Tune in now for another round of Planescape: Torment streaming with developer Colin McComb, starting today, at 5PM UTC.
Also keep an eye out for a multiplayer stream of Project Zomboid, on Friday, 9AM and Dear Esther: Landmark Edition on Friday, 5PM.

40 games in total will participate in our celebratory marathon, including Giants: Citizen Kabuto, Doom, Thief II, System Shock 2, Theme Hospital, Turok, and FTL.
Each game will have a copy given out by its streamer so make sure to drop by for a chance to try them out yourself.


Now go stock up on snacks and eye-drops, and join us for our special <span class="bold">Twitch</span> stream!

HunchBluntley: Yes, I know. But there have been mix-ups where, "Whoops, I guess no one updated the schedule to say that Chronowolf's stream got pushed back an hour and Pieman is streaming in the previous slot," or whatever. And lots of people aren't on Twitter. ;)
I wasn't saying it's a big deal or anything (personally, I rarely watch streams live anyway), just letting SpiderFighter know to take the schedule as an official estimate, rather than a 100% accurate guide. :)

madeaj: Okay, just wanted to let anyone know that the streamers are volunteers rather then GOG employees.

If you tune in right now you can see ChronoWolf play SimCity 2000 and SimCity 3000 AT THE SAME TIME!

As the Stream Team coordinator, yes, but she's the only one of the regular streamers who is employed directly by them. (Donis -- who only seems to stream for them very rarely now -- also used to work for GOG in some capacity.)

HunchBluntley: Perhaps it's from the Latin? If not, I hope they correct their error with due celerity. 8)

SpiderFighter: Congrats! Is there some kind of playlist available?

HunchBluntley: The official schedule for the GOGcom Twitch channel is here. But things are always subject to change at the last minute with no notice, and errors, oversights and simple forgetfulness regarding schedule updates have been known to happen. ;)

I've been wanting to watch GOG's Twitch streams for eons. Unfortunately Twitch.tv does not provide access to their video using an HTML5 player and I absolutely completely and totally refuse to install or use Adobe Flash, alas no Twitch for me until they either make the HTML5 player they've been hoarding behind the scenes for a year and a half now completely public to anyone and everyone, or I get magically invited to the HTML5 beta they mysteriously are rolling out to some small number of users allegedly.

Would be nice if there was an option somewhere to specifically request access to the beta player.

It's 2017, and time for Adobe Flash to die a fast painful death in a tire fire burning with the heat of 1000 suns. I'm just saying. :P

Twitch supports HTML5 for quite a while now. Months. I got rid of Flash last year. :)

8BitChris: Twitch supports HTML5 for quite a while now. Months. I got rid of Flash last year. :)
From the news articles that I read, they said that Twitch is making HTML5 available in beta form to small groups of people in batches over time. I never found anything stating it was generally available to everyone however, and the proof is in the pudding because whether I visit the site without a login, or created an account and logged into that I get the error "No supported video backend available; Flash is not installed", which implies to me Flash is required.

I also went and found an addon for Firefox called "Twitch 5" that allegedly exposes the HTML5 stream, but it also gave the same Flash error when I used it.

The Twitch help site shows screenshots of how to enable the HTML5 player on a video by clicking the settings gear and turning it on, however the option does not exist for me.

HTML5 video works fine for me on Youtube however, and other video sites.

I don't know if it matters at all and it definitely shouldn't, but I'm doing all of this in Linux. Previously I've had similar experience in Windows 7 however also.

I don't know what to tell you. I just disabled Flash (Firefox, Win 8) and loaded GOG's Twitch channel and it defaulted to HTML5, played no problem. I don't even have a Twitch account, either.
I assume you use NoScript or similar? I had to whitelist a bunch of semi-random domains to get Twitch to work properly, back when I first started using it, and occasionally have to temp-enable a few more (via trial and error) to get other, less-frequently-used (by me) site features -- such as search -- to work. Maybe that's got something to do with your problem?
