Stuart Posted December 19, 2013 Didn't see a thread like this, so... Hello there! Do you have a Twitch/JustinTV channel? Do you broadcast yourself playing Video games/drawing/other stuff? Do you want to share those live broadcasts with fellow Idle Thumbers? Well then, this thread is for YOU. So yeah, if you wanna promote your Twitch/JTV broadcasts, you can do that here. Just take in mind of these guidelines: - Always post a link to your channel each time you're going live. - If you're planning a broadcast and want to promote before that time, be sure to post the day and time. Be wary of time zones! - Be sure to say what you're broadcasting. - Don't abuse this thread, don't want a crazy overflow of posts! Promote sparingly so that people can see other's broadcasts. - Be wary of people broadcasting at the same time as you! May wanna avoid that! I'll make an archive of Idle Thumbs Community Channels here for posterity. Also, it would be cool if the actual Idle Thumbs could promote their live broadcasts here as well? Some people usually miss the broadcasts because there aren't any clear announcements other than from Chris' Twitter or the Idle Thumbs Twitter, so here could be a great place to advertise them. If you're not broadcasting right now, but want your channel to be added on the list, you can post your channel here just for that. Wanna start broadcasting? Just download OBS. It's free and easy to broadcast with. Fuck Xsplit. So yeah! I guess I'll start the list with my own channel and the Idle Thumbs channel. BROADCAST LIST: - Idle Thumbs Channel- TheCineaste's Channel - Lacabra's Game Dev Channel I broadcast video games. Big surprise, no? I mostly broadcast old ass games or silly mods for old games. So yeah, post away! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart Posted January 8, 2014 Seeing as this thread isn't being used, I guess I'll give it a bump! Broadcasting Resident Evil 4 in 20 minutes. I'll be playing a permadeath Proffesional difficulty playthrough, cuz why not? Feel free to stop by before then, since I'll be setting it up and will be in the chatroom. http://www.twitch.tv/thecineaste03 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clyde Posted January 8, 2014 Somehow, I had not seen this thread. I'm kinda old; can you explain what the appeal is of live broadcast versus archived video? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stuart Posted January 8, 2014 Somehow, I had not seen this thread. I'm kinda old; can you explain what the appeal is of live broadcast versus archived video? Personally, I do it just for fun and to talk with people who are watching. For me, it's less about "I'm skilled and Imma show you my skills" and it's more about "Hey, Imma play this game. Let's talk while I play it, and see if anything dumb happens in the game." The Idle Thumbs Broadcasts of Crusader Kings and Far Cry 2 are perfect examples of this. EDIT: Thanks for watching! I will continue my game tomorrow, if I have the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clyde Posted August 8, 2014 With all this twitch talk today and the wine in my system, I've become curious again. Are any thumbs streaming on a regular basis? Are any thumbs streaming right now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twig Posted August 8, 2014 I could stream some dotos right now! I'm about to play. But... but I suck at dotos so I don't wanna. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stuart Posted August 8, 2014 With all this twitch talk today and the wine in my system, I've become curious again. Are any thumbs streaming on a regular basis? Are any thumbs streaming right now? I've started to stream regularly since last week. Streaming both Dark Souls 2 and doing a critical play-through of System Shock 2.

SecretAsianMan Posted August 8, 2014 I streamed a few of my Spelunky daily challenges back when the Idle Explorers club was active. I've periodically considered doing so again since I'm STILL playing Spelunky everyday but I really don't think I'm interesting enough that anyone would want to watch.

BigJKO Posted August 8, 2014 I just tried streaming some game dev for a bit now, using hitbox.tv. I'll be back later to stream, I'll post in here when I'm online. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bjorn Posted August 8, 2014 I streamed a few of my Spelunky daily challenges back when the Idle Explorers club was active. I've periodically considered doing so again since I'm STILL playing Spelunky everyday but I really don't think I'm interesting enough that anyone would want to watch. I had a tendency to watch the last minute of pretty much everyone's run in the IE club. It never really gets old watching people die in that game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SecretAsianMan Posted August 8, 2014 I had a tendency to watch the last minute of pretty much everyone's run in the IE club. It never really gets old watching people die in that game. The end of the run does tend to be the most interesting part. I can't blame people for wanting to skip to the end, which is one of the reasons I don't stream.

Zeusthecat Posted November 16, 2014 I finally got set up with Twitch and did my first livestream last night with Dishonored. Now that I think I have most of the kinks ironed out, I'm going to give it another shot and am going to do another session right now. If anyone is interested, my channel is here: http://www.twitch.tv/xxzeusthecatxx And I'm playing through on Hard difficulty. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
