It's time for another episode of Inside Eurogamer, the podcast that's exclusively for Supporters and which takes you behind the curtains here to understand why we do the work we do, and some of the things we've learnt about doing it. Today we're on trend talking about streaming. I say on trend but I don't think I've been on trend about anything, ever. Fortunately for me, other people have been.

Remember - advert voice - supporting Eurogamer is super easy and not that expensive. For £3/€3/$3 a month (or £30/€30/$30 a year), you get an ad-free website, exclusive articles, this podcast - in which we also answer your questions - and if you're a yearly subscriber, some key giveaways. I'm working on a new one of those right now. End advert.

Today I have Ian Higton and Ed Nightingale with me. Ian's expertise in the area of streaming needs little explanation. He's been one of the faces of Eurogamer video for many years now; he's actually the longest serving member by a couple of years - he ran the channel alone for a while. And as we find out in this podcast, he was right there at the start of streaming on YouTube. Incidentally, if you're interested in Ian's fuller life story, as I like to think of it, check out the dedicated interview podcast he and I recorded as he reached his 10-year anniversary here.

Five of the Best is a weekly series for supporters of Eurogamer. It's a series that highlights some of the features in games that are often overlooked. It's also about having your say, so don't be shy, use the comments below and join in!

Oh and if you want to read more, you can - you can find our entire Five of the Best archive elsewhere on the site.

Every year, there are awards given to the best lead and supporting characters in games or movies, or TV shows or whatever else. They are, after all, the characters that the stories usually revolve around. But what about all of the other characters in those fictional (and sometimes factual) worlds? They might be less integral to the overarching story but I don't know if they're any less important to the feel and impact of the world. Some, of course, can go on to be so memorable they actually replace some of the main characters in our memories of the game, and that's who I want to highlight here. The question is, which minor character do you most remember from a game, and why?

Videoherní značka Far Cry je známá svým napínavým příběhem a ikonickými záporáky, zejména Vaasem z Far Cry 3, který je považován za jednu z nejzapamatovatelnějších postav. Nyní se esence tohoto univerza přenáší do deskové hry Far Cry: Escape from Rook Islands, což je kooperativní taktická hra pro 1 až 4 hráče, reinterpretující příběh videohry.

Hráči se ujmou rolí protagonistů, kteří společně čelí nebezpečím ostrovů a snaží se uniknout Vaasovi a jeho stoupencům. Společnost ADC Blackfire navíc oznámilo, že hra bude dostupná i v češtině, což je dle mého názoru velmi pozitivní zpráva.

Hra nabízí sedm misí, kde důraz na týmovou taktiku a spolupráci vede k prohloubení zážitku. Specializace postav umožňují hráčům optimalizovat akce týmu a přizpůsobit se tak výzvám, které hra před ně staví. Far Cry: Escape from Rook Islands je tak více než jen hrou; je to šance znovu prožít dobrodružství Far Cry 3 na stole, poskytující jedinečnou výpravu do exotického a nepřátelského světa.

Jedinou obavou tak za mě je, zda půjde o vytěžení úspěšné značky s průměrnoud eskoherní hratelností anebo tvůrci se postarají i o pozitivní herní zážitek. To se však dozvíme snad během třetího kvartálu, kdy by ADC Blackfire měli naskladnit tento titul na pulty obchodů
