Livestreaming

Getting Myself Out There

by

I did a livestream finally! I didn’t really say much during said stream, but I’m glad I finally did one, and the video quality was excellent. I haven’t decided if I’ll do another one tomorrow, or if I’ll jump back into video making mode. I kinda have a long week ahead of me and I’m leaning towards having a little fun.

One thing I need to do is learn to talk to no one during a stream. I had little to no audience the entire evening, and instinctively I really only talk if someone is around. Perhaps I should think of a list of things to talk about.

Rest In Pieces Mixer

You have a new neighbor, Zune.

I knew this day would come the moment Microsoft wanted to compete with Twitch and YouTube… I’m shocked I tell you! Shocked!

Microsoft announced today that the company will be shutting down its streaming site Mixer on July 22 and will partner with Facebook Gaming moving forward.

Anyone with a basic history of Microsoft products should have seen this coming from a mile away. I mean the moment I researched Mixer and found they were Microsoft owned I knew this wasn’t something that was going to stick around, much like their history with the Zune, Microsoft Phone, Microsoft Bob (yes that was an actual thing), etc. Now, Microsoft’s streaming platform isn’t entirely dead… but it might as well be, as they’re moving their services to Facebook Gaming as mentioned above… a name alone that makes me cringe buckets. Facebook Gaming makes me think of… Farmville. Then again that image alone is lame enough for Microsoft to be a part of them.

Private Streaming Returns!

I’m happy to say that for whatever reason I’m able to stream on Steam again! I tested it while playing AMID EVIL the other day and it worked perfectly. I think I might do some private-ish streams for quick goof off sessions and one shots, or streaming Audiosurf 2 without the worry of copyright bullshit. :trollface:

Something for a more comfortable atmosphere.
