We need to have kos carry sideshow's AYO legacy :(

Any chance we could get some snapchat accounts just like what kbk did for ESEA LAN?

Can we get a community poll going for who should be forced to wear a Gopro on their head for the entire tournament?

I plan on going absolutely crazy with videos this year.

I'll also be posting a ton of pictures on twitter on the FROYO page

I've been wanting to just enjoy being in the moment at the last couple LANs but I'll go ahead and go all out on this one with the content. Not just TF2 either. I'll try and talk with some random LAN goers and any pseudo gaming celebs or vendors too.

I might make a snapchat account for i55 if I spec. Not sure if I could get a lot of content out if I was playing
edit: I am speccing so will doing a snapchat story over i55. ADD: i55ayogurl

it would be cool to have maybe a snapchat representative from every team, or at least from the big 5. spectator snapchats would be cool too.

What is the benefit of Snapchat over something like Twitter or Vine or even just Instagram in general? Wouldn't people want this content to last and be able to be revisited? (Unless snapchat has it so you can go back and watch content and I didn't know that) I'll start up a Snapchat for the event if everyone is interested but I just never considered that to be ideal compared to something like twitter/instagram/youtube/etc.

Edit: Screw it, I made a snapchat for FROYOTECH. Add it up. I think this is how you do it. Please help.

Do what 2gd did at ti5 maybe?

snapchat's more popular and very easy to use, you can save your own snaps, but not others (videos at least). If I do it then I would try and remember to save them all so that a youtube highlight thing could be made.

edit: by the way shade, I saw that you added me back on snapchat. This isn't necessary, if someone adds you then they can see things posted to "My Story", so just let people add you and send all your snaps to my story.

Yeah pretty much every other social media site is better for pictures and such, but snapchat is really easy for videos. I just checked kbk's "story" I think it's called (I actually don't use snapchat almost at all) and there was a stream of little 10 second videos that were cool to watch. Tbh it actually isn't a huge improvement over youtube or twitter for sharing what's going on but uploading dozens of 10 second videos to youtube doesn't work too well. I'm happy with anything though rofl

I think how Shade has used his youtube channel at past lans has worked perfectly fine. Maybe really short 10 second clips could be combined, but navigating the 30 seconds to 2 minute videos he's usually taken is just fine on youtube.

Snapchat has no published or supported api so I'll need to look into what I can do. There are some homebrew solutions but it's all pretty DIY so I'm not sure I'll have time figure out how to integrate them.

I'll still be uploading vlogs on my channel but less than last time ofc.

I think I'll go ahead and do a ton of videos this year and in between shooting videos my snapchat will basically be a constant stream of stuff going on at the event and quick 5-6 seconds awkward situations for anyone I feel like making uncomfortable for the moment.

the best part of any lan is my subscribe box being spammed with 10 second shade videos for me to digest

It might be better just to redirect the domain to tftv if there's not going to be much content I can bring together, the tftv twitter is much more active now and snapchat stories should do a better job of conveying the experience. Also tftv will probably have much more active editorial content and probably brackets this time around so the need for a hub isn't the same as at i52.

Hopefully there will be wifi at the event or some kind of way for me to get internet on my phone.

Ill be posting content of my i55 adventure and stuff at:

Wow guys this is awesome, thanks so much!! What Shade said is kinda what I was hoping for out of this. I still love those 1-2 minute interviews or showing off a certain teams setup, but Shade's current 8ish second story containing only two pictures already made me laugh a bit lol. Looking forward to all the cool things you guys can capture with just a few seconds of video!

I'll also try to get some vlogs and random videos that I'll upload to my Youtube channel (which I rarely use for anything anymore).

Again, not sure how frequent I'll update them at the event, depending on if I can get access to wifi.

Sending halp

Beauty, subbed and followed. The more content the better, thanks so much :D
You guys make the tf2 community proud

wrong. he must add you back or else you can't his see stories. you can't just approve a friend on snapchat, its like facebook you both are friends with each other when the other accepts.

edit: nvm I guess they changed it

Didn't add me, could see his.

IIRC there was a pretty shitty public wifi that should be enough for uploading some photos. That was in the old TF2 Dungeon though, no idea if we will get any wifi in the TF2 tent.

Updated the OP to start listing the various youtubes/twitters/snapchats referenced in the thread

add me on snapchat: twerkgod420

also instagram: https://instagram.com/ethugati55/

I'm just spectating so I'll probably post some pictures and videos of things
