We’re experimenting with Twitch content to catch up on zillions of video games

Ars Frontlog, episode 001. FF to roughly 7:00 for gameplay.

Ars Technica's gaming trust has always strived to recommend the best in clever and killer video games. But a rising trend has made that mission more difficult: a seemingly endless fountain of content.

This statement of fact is by no means a complaint. There are more video games coming out for PCs and consoles than ever before, and many of them are quite fun. But this means that good, interesting, and uneven games alike are falling through the Ars editorial cracks more than ever before. How can we keep up?

One idea is Ars Frontlog: a new video experiment on our Twitch channel that, very simply, sees us tread water in the sea of modern game releases. The idea is that, on a regular basis, an Ars staffer will flip on a webcam and hit the "stream" button while catching up with semi-recent video games, particularly games that might otherwise escape our editorial calendar. You can either follow our Twitch channel to get alerts for when these videos will go live or just stay tuned to our traditional site, where we'll post those recordings' archives a few days later.
