Does twitch streaming utilize a microphone or does it just play the sounds from the game. I rather detest background sounds from say a dryer or traffic or idiots in the background. Then again, a quiet room with a rocking stereo track is nice.
Problem with some streaming is slow points in game going through inventory. 1 mentioned speed runs in another thread. Get a high end group together and speed run some top notch mob infested dungeons. Have a wide variety of player types for effects. Be nice when necro is polished and added.
I mean you don't want say 5 hours of Hephaestus mining and logging and making poles and pocket knives. Or do you. I could see someone doing some gardening.
And I need net period. I now miss that aspect of Missouri. Eh get me a laptop and hope over to library. Free wifi.
There are a lot of broadcasting software such as xsplit and OBS that people use to broadcast to twitch. With the proper software, the different sound configurations you can come up with are limitless, so when it comes to microphones and background audio, it depends on the caster.
As for the slow points, yes, seeing you mine for 5 hours will be boring. However the better streamers out there engage in their viewers, giving them someone to talk to and answer questions. When they are doing something that isn't fun to watch, they often bring up other interesting topics of conversation. This way, people wouldn't get entirely bored and just be watching someone do the same thing over and over. This also ties into what someone said earlier in the thread about the quality of personality of the streamer.
Twitch.tv and the livestreaming community has a huge fucking following. It is growing and people are making insane amounts of money from it. I was once subscribed to a streamer (Subscribed I mean I paid 5bucks a month to support this streamer) who has what he calls "Sub Sundays" where the subscribers of his channel visit a website and enter games for him to play on Sundays. I submitted EUO twice for this, however he never did play it. He's played small indie games like EUO before, and If a livestreamer as big as he is (he goes by Towelliee btw) were to play EUO, I'm sure it would have quite of impact on the game (be it positive or negative as his following seems to have a fair share of morons).
