live. come listen to music.

what happened to dheroes?

Should be very easy in OBS. Software capture > Screen region. Put the box over your chat and drag the borders to change the size of the box. Use the chroma key eyedropper tool to select the background color (for example if you're capturing the twitch.tv chat select the white bg) and it should disappear, leaving a transparent background. Then edit the scene and change the size and position of the chat from there.

Super nice, easy going person with lots of talent.
Very flexible and I highly recommend checking him out.

i'm signed up for a java course this semester...is java the best one to learn? i'm a business major not a programmer.

People have already touched on some of the important factors so I'm just going to post about some other points.

You've got to enjoy streaming. It sounds silly, but some people don't get a lot of viewers because they don't enjoy it. If you don't enjoy something, it shows. So don't just stream because everyone else is doing it -- stream because you want to do it. Don't just stream something because you think it will get a lot of viewers -- stream it because you truly enjoy whatever it is that you're doing. Because some of the other things that people have talked about (streaming with consistency, improving the quality, talking to the stream, entertaining people) just won't happen unless you put time into doing it. If it's a chore to you, your viewers will see that and enjoy the stream less.

When you enjoy doing something, it shows. It doesn't matter if nobody else likes what you're doing -- if you enjoy it, it's attractive and contagious. Personally, I am not a fan of prop hunt because I don't think that hide-and-seek is all that fun. But when I watch Cole playing it, he's got a big ol' grin on his face and he looks like he's having so much fun that I just want to be there with him. It's great. I also really enjoy watching Reckful, a popular WoW streamer. I don't play WoW arena anymore, but he's really passionate about what he does and it keeps me coming back. Streaming is about sharing an experience. Find what makes you happy, and others will want to experience that with you.

Lastly, get some feedback from your stream. Everyone starting out always has "the regulars" -- the same handful of people that seem to show up every single time you go live. Ask them what they like about you and why they come back because they clearly enjoy something about your stream, and chances are someone else likes the same thing they do.
