Yesterday we went live on Twitch.TV to do our second developer Q&A. This week, Cory was the star and answered lots of questions about art, mapping, and the release date of NS3.
If you can't make the live stream times, you can also subscribe to the Unknown Worlds YouTube channel to receive all updates on all our shows!
The developer Q&A happens every week on Tuesday, 11.30am US-PST, 3.30pm US-EST, 7.30pm GMT. You can shoot questions at us live on twitter @NS2, and in the Twitch chat itself.
Today, Charlie and Hugh launched our new 'Live Developer Q&A' show on Twitch.Tv. We will be hosting this show on Tuesday every week at 1130 PST, 1430 EST, 1930 GMT. During the show, you can tweet us questions (@NS2) and also ask questions live in the Twitch chat.
Each show will also be put up on YouTube, and here is the first one. Keep in mind this was our first effort, sound / video quality will be much better next week!
PS: This was the 500th NS news post. The first ever NS news post was made on the 14th of September, 2001 - 11.5 years ago.
The time has come to award the first Squad Five awards! Launched just over a week ago, Squad Five is a way for us to say thankyou to you for outstanding community effort. There is no doubt that without the collective effort of all of you, NS2 would not be half the game it is today.
Todays awards are the first of many - we will post up new people every few weeks. No doubt we will miss people this first time around. Please bear with us and be patient - it is not because we don't value your contribution, we just have human brains and cannot remember everything that happens every day.
If you know someone who has made a consistent, outstanding contribution to the NS2 community, nominate them here. Include as much information as you can! We have had some people nominated with no information: We don't doubt these people are awesome, but we need some more info about exactly what they have done.
So without further ado, here is the first (and not exhaustive) round of awards!

Squad Five Silver
Now, we know we have missed many people. This is the first go, and there will be more to follow! Please, stay cool with us while work through all the nominations, and be sure to nominate them in the nomination form.
The icons will not yet show up in game (this is still to come), but they will show up on the forums.
