Game Stream Questions!
11 years ago
So I've played some games here and there, and it's pretty fun when ya'll come out for that. :3
BUT I really need some feedback here. I recently tried another streaming service and it did okay for the mosssst part, but I had to restart the chat once, which sucked. But it has some nice features too...
Currently, I'm between
http://twitch.tv
and
http://hitbox.tv
Twitch we all know. Wildly popular. Gets the job done- BUT, the feed usually lags behind what I'm DOING in the game by a considerable degree. To the point to where your commentary may not even connect for me as to what you're talking about. :x (This is even with my delay set as low as possible. And my bandwidth is more than high enough)
Hitbox has recently come to my attention and I tried it last night. I'm definitely looking for some feedback on it! The advantage seems to be that there's MUCH less of a delay between my stream and what you see, and there are options like making Polls for ya'll to vote on things. Like what I do in-game. The chat messed up a couple times and people had to reload. But I don't know if it lagged/stopped like Twitch so often does these days? (especially with the whole Twitch Plays [...])
So, anyone have any input on which service appeals to you more?
NEXT, and much easier for anyone interested in my game streaming to answer-
WHAT THE HECK SHOULD I PLAY?

I do not claim to have beaten, be any good at, or in some cases even played some of these. If you're curious about my status on one, ask. The hilarity of how bad I am at it may increase. ;P
So... thoughts? Where should I stream and WHAT would people wanna see?
(This in no way effects art streams. ouo They still happen, this is just for other times. Those are always on Livestream. Which is bad for gaming.)

It's really interesting on a few points- You can slow down time, but it's limited. You'll run out the meter, and you have to get powerups to refill it. Additionally, you play through multiple characters and planes with different abilities to follow the storyline. It's really pretty, and really solid! I have actually yet to beat it. Too many games to play, haha! But it's a good pick!
Just wanted to share that with ya. Now -- back to your gallery ( .w.)_/
Though after playing that -- and all of the sudden getting a splash of colours and fat-Gannon made me drift a little from the series :<
Here, I figure this will be a nice time-killer > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S1.....ysIRw&hd=1
~( o.o)~ *checks more badger art*
Colorful in the palette used. Look at how much color you see in the world and the personalities of the many characters you meet! I think it's much more interesting overall! Colorful on multiple levels for me. :>
Oh yeah, I've seen that Game Theory, haha. He raises some good points, though I think he stretches it in some videos.
Now go, go and fall deeper under my spell- I mean, uh, admire more art. ouo
And then there's the game theory. It makes the game seem funny as hell. The most twisted thing I've seen.

All characters -- they were all so round and developed as characters. And the masks were awesome! -- I think as what got me sort of a TFetish (^ .^)
*Falls deeper -- starts to laugh along with skull kid Hyhgehgehe...* x)
Seriously though, I'd go with whatever you haven't played through yet, unless you're trying to do something specific like a speed run, a knife-only Fallout run, or similar sillyness. Play something you'll have fun playing and the results will be more fun to watch.
Alternatively you could go for whatever you want to show off - if you've built something awesome in Starbound or you're crazy good at TF2 people might be interested in watching you do your thing for that reason.
Also, some stuff doesn't lend itself well to streaming because it's fun to play, but not fun to watch. I'd say Farming Sim 2013 and strategy / planning games in general fall into that mold; what on your list would you want to watch someone play?
Yeah, I didn't even put some of my games on the list. Like Endless Space. It's... neat... in a way.. but it can be so boring, it's hard for me to even PLAY it, let alone somebody watch. I'd get Banished, watched that thing from its early development, but you'd have to REALLY be into city-builders to watch that hard.
IUNNO MAYBE I NEED DAYZ. MAYBE.
S-senpai~
I got that, never tried it Multiplayer though.
