I missed the end of unprofessional Fridays so I don't know if it was mentioned there, but Ryan was tweeting about doing a live Quick look of this today. Can anyone confirm this?

If that tweet ain't enough proof, I don't know what is.

@rjayb89: Yeah but this is Ryan.. He posts all kinds of dumb shit on twitter.. I'm not sure what to believe any more.

blocked.

He seemed prettt adamant about doing it earlier, and he wasn't dodgy about it either. If they had scheduled it through the Upcoming Box, it would be for certain but since it's not we'll have to wait and see.

@mister_v: I just finished watching yesterday's archive and the idea for this stream was brought up there. That said, it seemed to have just occurred to Ryan during the show, and the words "quick look" weren't even mentioned. Seems like something will happen.

Wait, a Quick Look from Ryan's house?

I wonder if the changes they've made as a result of feedback amounts to something good for the game; I hope we get a quick look of the demo aka beta.

Did anyone else know about this sleep study thing that he's doing? Are we all part of his waking dream?

Less than three hours to go before the beta opens up again!

What the fuck

Oh god, Jesus fuck!

I don't think he is going to drag everyone in to the office. Maybe he has a bedroom setup now like Jeff.

"Sleep study," yeah, right *wink.*

I bet the truth is that it's a surgery, an attempt to create a real life M.O.D.O.K.

I mean, look at his twitter avatar, it all makes sense.

Well because of that second picture I wont sleep tonight.

Am i the only one that already had that camera setup without "sleep study"

Is the beta not releasing all at the same time? My email saids that it will start Sunday Feburary 17.... Oh wait, that's when it will end... Well I best get to playing!

This second beta is weird... new code new download new exe file...

In case anyone is interested in watching the archive:

Thanks! His "taswell" justin/twitch page is wigging out.

@reckless_x:Thanks for the link. I saw that Norm was doing some streaming yesterday too - do you (or anyone!) happen to know if his stream is archived somewhere? I'll take a look around myself later and update this post if I can find it.

Norm's SimCity: http://www.twitch.tv/tested_norm

@stealthraptor: Seems like he really enjoys the game; and he lets us know he's played the beta 8 times before and managed 50.000+ populations during that one hours limited time, that's pretty good I think.

Oh gawd. I can see eternity. All truth is there in those eyes. I have peered into the void, and the void is us!

Is that the in-game music in Ryan's stream? I remember Ryan crediting someone for the music but can't find when he says it :|

@selbie: That is indeed the actual music from the game you are hearing. I love it. It's so relaxing. The name you're trying to remember is "friend of the site" Chris Tilton, as Ryan put it. He created the music for the game.

Thanks, duders!

Thanks duder. I just realised that after watching Norm's stream. Definitely buying the soundtrack for this game ^___^

Ditto - and in case anyone is going to check out Norm's stream, you can skip to about the 6:25 mark, as it's black screen until that point as he works with the streaming set-up.

In case anyone is craving some more video, here is the IdleThumbs stream: http://www.twitch.tv/idlethumbs/b/368092420. They get it working after about an hour. Apologies if this has already been posted somewhere.
