Twitter feed in game

Ryne

<div class="IPBDescription">....bit weird sometimes</div>The twitter feed in game is a cool idea, but doesn't quite make sense sometimes.

e.g.:

Sitting in B210, seeing a message on bottom saying "Build 210 is now off to Valve! Look for it shortly. Hope you have fun with it this weekend"

Or, hours after Hugh's presentation: "Going LIVE IN MINUTES on the main stage @Dreamhack: <a href="http://twitch.tv/dreamhack" target="_blank">http://twitch.tv/dreamhack</a> #dreamhack #dhs12"


Perhaps having a "posted XX hours ago" type message as well as a clear indication it is from twitter might be beneficial.

Raza.

I suppose a dedicated news stream with update notifications, links to recent changelogs etc. makes more sense than integrating the general twitter feed.
Btw, hate the scrolling effect. There's a reason why scrolling text in HTML went out of style 10+ years ago.

Imo it should only post the latest tweet, posting older tweets is kind of pointless.

Yes. If you would want to see the older tweets just simply go to <b>twitter.com/ns2</b>.

Especially when they don't have the '5 hours ago' note, so unless you start watching right from when the menu loads you could get confused by contradictory messages.
