Game streams...yay or nay?
11 years ago
So now that my queue is starting to clear up a bit, I can start organizing my time better and actually get in some gaming time.
What do y'all think about gaming streams? I have a large Steam library...most of which I haven't touched. I used to take advantage of Steam sales and buy a bunch of games but never actually play them. It was more of "whenever I have time" purchase.
I mean...seriously. I was just looking through my library and didn't even think I had most of these games so take a gander
My Steam Game Library
I also have Assassin's Creed 3 that's not on Steam.
I have a bunch of console games, old and new, lying around but I'm not sure if/how I would really go about streaming from the console or TV. I think it would be fun if Snowy and I could stream us playing Skylanders...we have an awful lot of them!

Are you entertaining. Can you keep a audience. Is your playstyle consistent. So you wont throw controller away every ten minutes because you fail.
How do you react to failures? Can you take them with dignity amd just trh again. And laugh at yourself.
And if you are going to use face cam. Is your face fitting?
Also is the stream quality good. Preferably 1080p. But 720p is acceptable.
how do you react to trolls?
Do you have the patience to stream even if no one shows up for an hour?
I don't really care much for trolls...and I don't give them the reaction they're looking for. I usually just shrug them off or ask them to leave. In some cases, I may give them a piece of their own medicine...for example, that one "commissioner" I had that wanted me to design a tattoo for him and didn't respond to my messages regarding progress, approval, and asking if he wanted additional characters didn't reply about 3-4 attempts over the course of 2 months, and I didn't hear anything from him at all for 4-5 months ion total...actually had the audacity to come into my stream last night and bring up the tattoo at random while I was working on a paying commission. I just retorted, "oh, that tattoo you never replied to me on after several months?" It stopped him dead in his tracks for sure. XD
When i stream, I generally don't care if someone shows up or not....my art streams are generally like that anyway. ^_^ I'm hoping if I get enough watchers that i can maybe try to do charity gaming or something to raise money for causes or something.
Feel free to try
I know this feel.
