So I just started doing game streams a little while ago. Not many viewers as of yet, well one really, but that's okay. Links are in my sig if anyone is interested. Though I guess this thread is a plug I guess we can make it an all-purpose thread to talk about streaming and LPs.
So anyone else here do that?

I'm actually starting a retro-game collecting blog (hence the sig), and plan on uploading short gameplay demo vids to supplement the review; they won't be the reviews themselves nor will they be complete walkthroughs/speedruns/LPs of them. I have a degree in writing and wanna use the blog to catapult either making money on the blog or putting it on a resume for a professional editing/writing/journalism career, if not both of those things.
I tried to get into streaming but found I just wasn't interesting enough to hold a stream up. When I play, I just wanna play. Unless I'm SO comfortable with a game that I don't need to concentrate to do well, I feel awkward trying to commentate my way through what's going on. I could drop factoids about the game as I go, but I feel the blog could do that a lot better than just dropping them here and there in an otherwise dull LP. I'll give all the credit in the world for the people doing YT review videos AND LPs together, but that's not me. If you give me time to write it out, set it up, prepare everything, I honest-to-God think I could make something of it. But you give me a mic, a console, a random game and just tell me to "go" and do it improvisational, I'm trash. I gotta have a plan and a script before I hit "record". So if I were doing LPs like that, MAYBE I could cut it. But again, I'm more comfortable in my writing ability.

I did twitch streaming for a while, but I was getting the boobtuber audience, and that's not really the audience I wanted.

I'd stream if my computer could handle it, but I watch a heck of a lot of streams. Just more entertaining to me than pretty much anything on TV.

I actually want to start LP'ing something, as streaming might be a tad too hard with the internet connections I have. However, I've never scene much Let's Plays (basically just stuff like that from kNIGHTWING01/kwingletsplays channels or ProJared's. Or if we go way back, the original Zelda Wednesdays series on ScrewAttack), so if anyone wants to leave some pointers, please do feel free.  |

I stream every now and again while I play Binding of Isaac. I'm not exactly a wordsmith, but I can talk about BoI all night long. (Or at least an hour or so until I burn out.)

I've been thinking about doing some casual streaming. Stuff like Fallout 4, MLB 16 The Show, Bully, that sort of stuff. Do you really need anything on PS4? I know the streaming option is built in but is voice casting an option as well?

Just make sure Include Microphone Audio in Broadcasts is checked in Audio Settings under Sharing and Broadcasts in Settings. |

Uploading streams to youtube is handy but it's making me paranoid. My last two Until Dawn videos have 8 dislikes each and I don't know why. In addition, I put my Arkham Knight stream up in 15 minutes parts (because I accidentally split the first stream into parts and I figured I'd be consistent) so there's 17 parts. But three of them have dislikes but none of the rest do. Not only that but one of my Overwatch PotG videos that doesn't even have commentary has a dislike too but none of the other PotG vids I uploaded do. Is someone just randomly disliking my videos?
Like I said, paranoid.
So yeah, anyone wants to throw some likes on my vids it'd help. Or at least give me pointers.
