Watch Shroud stream Apex Legends through an earthquake

That's commitment.

Southern California experienced an earthquake measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale over the weekend, but fortunately it was centred on the Mojave Desert. Presumably it inconvenienced the cazadores.

The earthquake occurred while streamer Shroud was playing Apex Legends, and you can see the footage of that moment above. There's a lot of swearing as Shroud and his friends, one of them in Las Vegas, react to the tremors. As it builds you can see the mic stand and camera begin to shake, but it's over before their characters have hit the ground so they carry on playing and apparently went on to win the round.

Thanks, PCGamesN.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
