Yeah, I did get some lag, but not as much as I thought I would. I certainly won't be playing any action games on Twitch though. I got a new headset with a mic and I think I'll do some streaming in a bit. Not sure how long I'll go for.

My Twitch page is here if anybody wants to check it out.

It was fun streaming, though I think the game I'm playing is going to turn out to be a disaster. A couple of folks stopped by. Don't know if they found me from this thread, but I think I'll keep it up to see how things go. This game could definitely use some more streamer attention.

I watched your stream for a bit. I assume you recordered it? I ended up recording one later yesterday evening and uploading to youtube.

Yes. Recorded and I watched it to check out how it looked. Lag wasn't quite so bad (I cleaned out the inside of my computer. The fans were getting a bit dusty). I discovered I say "um" way too much.

I don't think I'm going to go the YouTube route. That's just too much. I don't visualize myself building an audience that wants to watch me babbling on demand. I did archive my two hours of footage from last night.

I'm going to start streaming a gain in a few minutes (5 p.m. Pacific time)

The patch ended up breaking my game while I was streaming. The quests I already had active would not complete. So I had to abandon the game and start over. I ended up in much better positioning with my new game.

I feel that there's a lot of randomness in terms of how the game goes based on what the map contains and where you're placed on it. One of, and maybe the, greatest desires I have is that the map generation and placement be more balanced.

I don't expect a big youtube audience either. But my boyfriend insists I put the videos there rather than on twitch. I think he *wants* a big youtube audience, although I'm about 100% confident I don't have the charisma to pull that off, ever.

Maybe he read that Wall Street Journal story about PewDiePie raking in the dough.

Geting big on youtube requires a lot of initial luck to pull off. Sure, you have to upload consistent quality content afterwards but to get out of the <100 view mark you need the luck :P

However you should always put the broadcasts on youtube, since no one looks at twitchs archived highlights, and for some reason twitch uploads to youtube end up being more popular than rgular youtube content because for some wierd reason it attracts a lot of chinese viewers. Yeah I don't know how that works but there's probably some youtube algoriithm bug there.

Also, don't ever look at your audience retention rate stats. You will just get depressed :P

Oh, I watched most of your one YouTube video today. Are you using push-to-talk for your microphone? It cut off quite a bit, I think permanently at one point. I could tell you were still talking because you were using the mouse to highlight various things on the screen, but no idea what you were actually saying for a lot of it.

I was using push to talk, and at one point I ended up using the wrong button :P so that recorded video is mostly lost. Which is probably just as well, I'm pretty sure what I was saying was incredibly inane.

I'd like to try and set it up to not need push to talk, but my voice seems to not get picked up well when I just let it auto-find unless I talk REALLY LOUD, which is inconvenient for my bf and our roommate.

I am streaming right now. I'll probably do two lengthy streaming shifts today. Watch here.

I've been away far too long. Roving Clans are released? Geez. Wish I could watch your stream from here, but the bandwidth at the relatives I'm visiting for the fourth can't support that.

The easiest way, of course, to start streaming your favorite game on Twitch. By simply following the instructions on Twitch, you can easily start your online broadcast. I'am became a streamer just recently and not very well versed in it. But I found an article https://beststreamerguides.com/how-to-stream-on-twitch-beginners-guide/ which helped me to create an account, set up Twitch properly and launch my first broadcast. If anything, I stream World of Warcraft Lich King. I play in PVE, as an arcane mage and fury warrior. Right now I have only 20 subs but I am glad that I finally started to reach my goal.
