DEEP BREATHS, WE GON GET THROUGH THIS

We're lf a few more backups to round out our roster. Looking for some dudes who are good at at least a few classes. You'll probably get a fair amount of play time, because a lot of us are p busy (at least for the start of the season). Gonna try and do a few tryouts tonight, hmu

I wouldn't. I've only ever really liked tf2 in terms of video games, and technology in general is pretty frustrating. I just put up with it enough to play tf2 and stream on twitch.

I hope esea finds a way to incorporate tf2 into this plan. They just fixed a lot of the issues with their tf2 service, and the tf2 numbers are as big as they have been since tf2 Main was a thing. Newbie mixes is also organizing stuff with a few large tf2/ general gaming personalities that will hopefully bring in lots of new blood into the scene (with many going into esea by the end of this year). Would be a shame if we didn't get a lan anymore, as that's one of the huge selling points for esea.

I'm super happy for CS, this is huge for their scene. But the selfish part of me can't help but be terrified of the announcement they have tomorrow.

Did you change what dx level you're launching tf2 in?

I'd be down to organize that if there's actual interest. Would be pretty cool imo.

Sorry, I was in a rush writing that, and I should have worded it much, MUCH better. The FX is a better option per $ if you factor in the cost of a new motherboard as well. Better to keep the AM3+ socket, and just upgrade the CPU than to change everything.

Is the feedback there if there is no mic plugged in? What about a different mic (or a line cord or something)?

Yeah, some of the stuff you guys do doesn't make any sense from an outside perspective.

The fact that the TF2 lan's coverage was just as good- if not better than- the CS coverage (which peaked at 6 figure view counts) just proves how absolutely world class the TF2 dudes working behind the scenes are. Roster rundowns, stat comparisons, youtube/twitter integration, a 90 second delay camera source at the event itself, instant replays, separate producer/ in-game camerawork, etc, etc, etc.

We as a community are absolutely SPOILED by the amazing coverage we get, and I love that this article gives everyone that deserves it a bit of credit. :)

I'd love feedback on how much these makes sense. It makes sense to me because I've been using OBS for 2 years, but I have no idea if what I'm saying can be interpreted as anything close to coherent.

Will the constant sound be there if you use a recording program such as "Sound Recorder" or "Audacity"?

Have you tried "Listening to this device"?

Is this a line-in mic or a usb mic?

Yes. The AM3+ socket boasts what some think is an actually stronger chip for livestreaming than an equal-costing i7. The FX Black is an extremely powerful CPU for multitasking, check it out.

Try changing "Encoding profile" in your advanced options to "high" rather than "main". Regardless, you're really trying to push that poor cpu further than it was intended to go. 720p30fps streaming WITH a cpu intensive game like tf2 is not gonna bode well for anything other than a top of the line processor.

If you're looking at upgrading to resolve this, you may just want to go for a cheap-ish motherboard with an integrated Nvidia graphics card. You can use that rather than stacking all that work on your processor.

Also 1000kbps is probably not going to create a good looking 720p game. You could probably get away with it with a game like hearthstone, but it's just not gonna cut it for an fps.

The thing with that is that I'm not exactly to keen on this stuff. I stream mainly so I can hang out with some friends I've met through my chat. I can potentially talk about what I find interesting about streaming, but that doesn't really overlap with what keeps viewers or anything.

I will be working on common problems with streams tech-wise (if that's what you meant), but that's all I'm really good at.
