First Couple of Streams

So, I started a Twitch account. And I’ve streamed a grand total of three times. The first two were complete tests to see how the mic and stuff would work out. There was an original first one but I deleted it because apparently 1080p on the Twitch app streaming direct from xBox was not a good idea. It couldn’t keep up or something, it came out horrible. So – gone. The new first one has no mic audio because I’m apparently a dumbass and straight up didn’t have the mic turned on via xBox audio settings. The second one is better, there’s mic audio but the fan makes it sound like I’m heavy breathing into the mic the entire time. The third one, it was too late in the night so I just pu on there no mic/chat. I think I’ll do that every now and again for the middle of the night streams when I’m just going to grind out some things on there.

So far, the experience has been okay but honestly, I wish I could get rid of the streaming bar on the screen. The moment I know someone is watching (which I’ve had a few people so far come and go, which is weird) – my game gets off for a few seconds. You know how it is – you’re all fine until someone watches you then you start to suck.

Anyway, I just wanted to put a little post about it. So far, it’s okay. The mic audio seems to be a second or so behind the video though so some of my commentary doesn’t exactly line up – which I’m sure is a xBox Twitch app thing. It’d probably be better if I was using the PC to stream but c'est la vie.

I’ve added the new links to both the new YouTube channel – which so far has nothing on it because I’m not entirely sure what I’m going to put on there yet – and the new Twitch channel – to the menu bar. I’m also going to be messing around with the blog design soon, updating it and adding my new header though I really do enjoy this one. We’ll see what I do with it.
