btw, if anybody else is also considering running weekend tournaments, depending on interest feel free to DM me and ask if FiresideCasts would be interested in covering. worse comes to worst I can at least point you in the direction of other orgs/production that would be available. I had to step back from casting weeklies for the main season of RGL due to time constraints, but sometimes things pique my interest enough
Also huge shoutout to billdozer for running the tournament, my team tbh gang for carrying me to top 8, and everybody who came to watch the stream for the 2 matches we got to cover. hopefully this time it will be less toxic....

Is this not what 4Plug is for?

But getting back on to the main point, I've done production for TFTV from 2018-2020, and then ran my own mini production org for about a year during and afterwards, where I also branched into other games and tried to cast those as well. There are so many hurdles for people to get into observing that a lot of potential observers and producers just wouldn't be interested. The amount of energy it takes to be able to create a storyline out of DM fights, while paying attention to casters so you can help the viewer follow their action while also catching stuff the casters miss is much more than it feels like at any given time. Chat is heartless and will call you out for any mistake you make, which will be plenty as you're learning how to do it, let alone all the trolls. Players you're having to work with to get server info choose to make your life as difficult as possible, or completely disregard you because they have no respect for what you're trying to do. You're likely going to be both producing and observing simultaneously, which is navigating this jumbled mess where any mistake is also once more called out by chat, while you're also primarily observing.

Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed my time observing. I will say that I was an edge case where I both couldn't/didn't want to play on teams during those times, because anybody on a team would rather scrim and play their matches instead of running a stream, and I actually enjoyed putting on a show that people came to watch and enjoy. But I can't imagine many people being in my shoes. Louster200 enjoyed the actual act of production, but every little thing that came with it destroyed his mentality and now he doesn't even want to be near team fortress again after running the NA TFTV streams for about 2 years.
Let me know if people are interested in a production setup tutorial. I have experience with both setting up my own streams as well as what TFTV looks for in streamers, so there's a niche amount of experience that I wouldn't mind taking the time to put across to people. At the same time, don't catch me looking surprised when not many people are interested.

the link should be fixed. I didn't see that thread before, I guess I have to opt in for every single other one of my public drive links

I've been trying to get people for this game for a bit now- best I managed was 2v2s or 2v3s, which probably isn't as fun as a full set. Big recommend on this game on the premise though, at least. Would love to test real gameplay when I get the chance

every edit he makes is torture

all the other threads are 8 years old, so it's worth looking at it again
what songs fit TF2 frag videos, classics or ones that you might use in your own videos later
one that i always come back to
idk man i might use this one someday (the second half)
i just wanna listen to sick music man

I'm aware I'm probably the only person that has theirs changed, but there's no option for windows mouse ticks in this. I play with what would look like a higher mouse sens (3.9 ingame 1200 dpi) until you factor in I'm on 5/11
