Streaming

Look to your right… what do you see? Is that a Twitch Channel for Royfuss?! Why, yes it is! I don’t know how much it’ll be used, but I do have some plans for it. I invested heavily in a second PC that has a super rad capture/streaming card in it. In theory, this will allow me to play my games without stressing my PC any further, while streaming to Twitch, or just capturing data. That PC should be here by the end of the week, so you’ll probably see me do some testing. I’ll announce ahead of time when I do some official streams.

I’ve got a few games planned. I recently rebought Dishonored on PC, so I’ll probably stream a No Kill/No Detection walkthrough. I’ve also got a Super Mario World idea kicking around. I’m thinking of booting the game into an emulator, and setting the speed at 2 or 4 times… its fairly fun, and difficult, to play that way, and should provide entertainment to an audience. A Torchlight 2 stream will happen. Probably some Starcraft 2 or Borderlands 2 when I play with some friends. Usually get intoxicated when we do that, so that should be entertaining.

I also want to use it to capture media, mostly screenshots and some video. I use the internet to grab screenshots for video game posts, and I’d much rather do my own. Sometimes I want very specific pictures from games, but can’t find them from a quick Google search. Yeah, PC games I’m usually good, but console games… not so much. I was trying to find the perfect God of War screenshot, and settled for a “good enough” screenshot.

I think I said this once, but I’ll say it again: I’m really digging this WordPress theme. It’s called Mantra. Its very customizable, and it did everything I wanted it to do, with very little effort on my part. Enough of me promoting stuff that I don’t need to. I’m out.
