Every weekend, Windows Central streams an Xbox One game or two on Twitch for 1-2 hours and gives out free games to the cool people who join us during the stream. It's like a live podcast, only you also get to watch a game while chatting with our awesome readers and viewers!
Tonight at 8pm Central (9pm Eastern, 6pm Pacific, 2am GMT), we'll be playing Terraria from 505 Games and Re-Logic. Terraria is a 2D platformer with creative and survival elements, much like Minecraft. To make things even better, we have a whopping 35 Terraria codes to give away for Xbox One, PlayStation, and Steam!
Update: The stream has ended. Continue reading to watch the abridged replay in YouTube format and see the list of contest winners!
Terraria
Do the blocky 3D worlds of Minecraft rub you the wrong way? Then try Terraria, the 2D platforming survival game. At the start, you'll create your own male or female custom character. Then it's time to generate a new world or load up a saved one.
Terraria has many familiar mechanics like exploration, mining and building things. The building works a bit differently in 2D, but players can still create impressive structures. Don't mistake this for Minecraft, however. Terraria has a much greater emphasis on combat and platforming. Find the right gear and you can even gain unique abilities like super jumps and turning into a werewolf.
Naturally, games of this type are more fun with friends. Terraria supports 8-players online or 4-player split-screen on Xbox One.
Tune in tonight to watch me play online multiplayer and maybe win a copy of your own!

How to watch Twitch live streams
What's the best way to experience Twitch? The Twitch website on your PC or Mac web browser. If you don't have or prefer not to use a computer, you can get the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, or Xbox 360 Twitch apps and watch from the comfort of your couch. Android and iOS both have official and unofficial Twitch apps to choose from as well.
On Windows Phone, you'll have to grab an unofficial app. There are several to choose from, each with different strengths and weaknesses. Only one app lets you search directly for our channel, however. If you use the others, you'll have to find and follow us from a web browser first. Read the roundup to learn more!
