I want to stream some video games.
I'm not going to talk, and I don't really know what to play. I just want someone to sit and watch. You don't have to pay full attention, just make a comment about the game or how I suck at video games here and there. Just leave the window open on another monitor. I'll talk to you through the comments when applicable.
If anyone's interested, feel free to suggest what to play. If it's a large download, I'll give you a list of related games that I have already installed. If not, I'll silently play it for you.
It doesn't matter what you play if you're a nobody and not female.
>not talking
>not skilled or doing anything special at all
Who would watch that?
>>322472794
You sound absolutely pathetic, jesus christ. Just stream some shit to your friends, or play a popular game, make a name for yourself and go from there. I enjoy a stream from time to time but your whiny attitude makes you sound like a complete faggot and has put me and probably everybody else off.
You get an F. Try harder next time.
>>322472916
I'm just doing this for the moment, I'm bored and lonely since it's the middle of the night. I have no intention of trying to get somewhere with being a streamer.
Alternatively, I'd be down if someone wants to play some video games right now.
>>322473065
I can talk though the comments section, I guess.
play some fallout 2 senapie
>>322472794
Do you sound like a fag OP?
>>322473461
Sure thing. Downloading it now.
>>322473604
I seem to be mistaken for a young boy whenever I talk to strangers.
>>322473742
Well if you're feeling lonely the speed running event will start soon.
So you can watch that if you want
Also do you have any idea how to stream? Have you done it before?
play mighty max for the super nes
>>322473850
I'm not really interested in speed running, I've watched a bit of it on occasion but just couldn't get into it at all. I prefer to relax with my video games than race against the clock.
I do know how to stream, I'm just kind of shy and awkward when I'm talking into a mic and knowing nobody's on the other side. Sometimes I stream for my friends while we're in a skype call; I can talk then.
>>322473914
Already got Fallout 2 installed, sorry bro. Setting shit up now.
>>322473742
I'm bored, post your steamID and do some broadcasting
doesn't require any setup and isn't that shitty quality-wise
>>322472794
Only if you do Sengoku Rance
>>322474152
It's good, I got it up.
twitch/earlmcbrian
I've never played FO2 before, pls be gentle.
do you play dota 2 at all op?
>>322474528
>I've never played FO2 before
He's not going to make it through the temple. I guarantee.
you can download a resolution patch for FO2 to make it bigger
>>322474528
You should use mic Anon. We'll be gentle.
lol mymacis shit and i can't watch the stream
so much for suggesting Fallout 2
have fun Chosen One
>>322472794
Darkest Dungeon is a damn fun game to stream for people if you take their input on player names and whatnot
>>322472794
im in a similar position, i cannot really understand it. i don't like streamers, ive never really watched a stream, but i want to stream and have others appreciate the work ive put into becoming good at the game. even though i used to hate people who sought attention i still very much desire it and all humans do. even though im nameless i still try and make a name for myself on this website, i feel good when i see others using my memes and (You)s genuinely make me feel good
in the end we will all become what we hate, because you think about what you hate more than what you love ~ Anonymous
>>322472794
I'm in a mood where I don't know what to play so I just watch other people.
Here's my Steam ID, add me and I'll watch your stuff while talking about it
http://steamcommunity.com/id/Implying-you-arent-a-total-fegit/
>>322475552
All humans want attention and many of us here don't get it in the real world (or at least not for the vidya skills we've worked on). Don't feel bad, stream if you want to. Just don't be a douche about it.
Post link, Anon, we wanna watch you stream
>>322475795
twitch/earlmcbrian
>>322475842
Thanks!
it is pointless for anyone to stream unless you already have a following. Enjoy your 0 views.
>>322475990
Don't be so defeatist Anon. If anyone wants tips on how to improve their stream, just ask in thread.
I want to watch anon, but Twitch requires Flash and I hate that cancer. Sorry and goodluck! You should broadcast on Steam instead.
>>322475990
No need to post sad man stuff, Anon, we're having fun with the Stream
>>322475842
I will watch when I get home mate, will you play something else later?
>>322475795
no you're mean
>>322476132
it literally doesn't matter how 'improved' your stream is. The chances of someone watching you stream in a sea of other 0viewer streams is essentially zero.
>>322476312
idk m8, I'm not OP
>>322476342
I started my stream without a cam and got viewers. As I said, you want tips, ask.
>>322476593
sure, there are exceptions. But most people have bad voices, are bad at games, and really are not exceptional in any way. People need to accept the reality that there is no point in you making a youtube channel or streaming or any of that bullshit. You're not special, no one is going to care what you say or do. You have to be a narcissist extrovert to really succeed, and most people who stream are depressed introverts.
>>322475990
>>322476342
>>322476832
There are fourteen people watching OP already, and he just wanted some company. Go fuck yourself you buzzkill.
>>322476904
OP didn't even post a link, so no, 14 people are not watching him.
>>322477049
read the thread before you reply fukboi
>>322476832
Yeah I suppose I was working on the assumption that you were competent at video games and didn't sound awful. Come watch OP, it's chill.
>>322477049
He sure did, buddy, nearly twenty minutes ago.
>>322477043
>tattoo
into the trash she does
>>322477092
>>322477174
that twitch link is not OP. maybe you should read the thread
>>322477203
maybe you should read the thread
>>322477049
Excuse yourself to read the thread retard
>>322477203
>that twitch link is not OP
I think that you are the one who needs to read the thread.
how come fo2 has fewer talking heads than fo1
>>322477049
twitch/earlmcbrian
>>322477276
>>322477343
>>322477348
ok fine, I was wrong. Doesn't change my point. It's a shit stream and you shouldn't encourage nobodies to stream.
>>322477594
I think you've proven by being a total fucking moron that your opinion doesn't matter.
>>322477343
holy shit who plays fallout in that kind of resolution, you absolute madman
>>322477594
You sound like fun to be around, anon.
>>322477594
>you shouldn't encourage nobodies to stream
Stay mad
>>322477594
Why are you such a downer. /v/ doesn't have streamers to entertain us and this is why.
how about you check my 4
>>322477704
the shitty streamer that is OP.
>>322477710
I'm not, and neither are you, or anyone who posts on /v/. It's not a bad thing, you can be an introvert. It's cringey when people like us try to stream and make videos, an inherently extrovert thing. Think about it, streaming or making a video implies that you think that people are going to want to hear what you have to say. It presupposes you are important. It's the height of arrogance.
>>322477909
this post is worse than the penny arcade blog about undertale
>>322477594
Let me guess, you got told you sound like a 12 year old girl when you tried to stream and now it's sour grapes.
>>322477909
I like OPs stream.
Walk in front of traffic faggot.
>>322477909
>being this unironically mad that some /v/tard decided to stream
>>322477909
I get the feeling you've tried streaming or making videos before Anon. Let it out, we're your friends here.
>>322477909
>everyone is as pathetic as I am
That projection.
>>322472916
This desu senpai
>>322472794
People watch strem not because of the gameplay, they watch it for the commentary and charisma that the streamer brings.
You will never achieve high rsults without talking.
Not unless you're Dendi.
>>322477909
I'll let you know that myself and 16 other anons are perfectly enjoying OP's stream experience in a non homoerotic way
>>322478146
sure , and then I realised how pointless it is, and how out of character it was. I'm just trying to save people like OP some time. I know you all hate the "HI GUYS WELCOME TO MY VIDEO YOU CUM CUMMANDERS" style people, but that is the kind of person that succeeds in online video. If you are a normal /v/ person, it's the antithesis of yourself and you're wasting time putting your toes in a ocean that you will never be able to swim in.
>>322478383
for me it's a little bit homoerotic
>>322478392
>confirmed for failure
>>322478484
if you're posting on /v/, you're already a failure in someone's eyes.
>>322478570
If we're on /v/, we already shouldn't give a shit about the opinions of others
>>322478392
It takes longer to build an audience if you're quiet and calm, but it can happen. Don't be someone you're not, just chill and let /v/ help.
Why would they watch you instead one of the other 20 people streaming the same game, except they are better at it than you are?
>>322478917
OP has a monopoly on Fallout 2. also, git gud, why are 20 people better than you?
You just gotta stream and have fun, but if you're not talking and you are not streaming you drawing shit or something unusual then no one is going to watch your stream.
I only streamed once, and it was Amnesia The Dark Descent, playing custom stories.
This was about 2 or 3 yeas ago when I was 16, I managed to stream, have fun with my viewers, and laugh a lot during these 4 hours.
Maybe I'm good at this shit? I'm 18 now so my parents don't come into my room all the time anymore and shit, but they often yell at my brother really fuckinh loud and there's fucking arguments every week.
Should I start streaming again /v/? It sounds like something fun to do, and I would just pretty much play old PS1 and PS2 games that I missed out on(just ordered SH2 and SH3 on amazon cause I really enjoyed SH1 last week).
>>322478917
you must be thrilling IRL.
>>322479135
If you enjoy it, do it!
>>322478917
exactly this. you are nobody in a sea of nobodies. Don't be pathetic.
>>322479310
he's playing fallout 2 tho
>>322479424
I'm making a more general point about the futility of streaming.
>>322479240
I gotta get a decent mic though.
But I would probably be able to stream a few hours a day when I get home from school if I don't go out with my friends and all that.
Still, do people still watch streams of old games? Or is it only COD, BF and CSGO?
>>322479493
Everything is futile you fucking moron.
Everyone dies at the end so literally everything is futile.
You posting is futile.
What is your actual point?
>>322479636
no it's lol and hearthstone only
>>322479310
most of those streams have something wrong
either you suck at the game, your bitrate is dumb and people don't want to/can't watch, or your voice is irritating.
>>322479784
exactly, and that is what most people's streams are going to be like.
>>322479636
People watch lots of games, though some are easier to build a viewbase in than others.
>>322479842
Most of those they can avoid.
Friendly reminder to report streamer scum.
>>322479135
How did you go about getting viewers?
I stream Rocket League because I'm pretty bueno at it and I'm a Navy submariner so I can talk to people about that shit, but I only advertise on tumblr and facebook and only get 2-3 viewers at a time. I feel like a cunt whenever I even think about just dropping my link on somewhere like /v/ or whatever because it just seems like a lame fucking thing to do.
>>322479713
>Everyone dies at the end
I'm planning on being the first not to. So far I'm not dead so I'm off to a good start.
>>322479893
exactly, I thought self promotion was against the rules
>>322479784
What's a good bitrate? I use 3300 but only because a beginner guide type deal said to use something like that. My internet is bretty goddamn fast.
>>322479902
>I feel like a cunt whenever I even think about just dropping my link on somewhere like /v/ or whatever because it just seems like a lame fucking thing to do.
good man, you're right. Posting a link implies that you are so full of yourself that you expect random other people to want to watch you have fun.
>>322480029
Unless you're playing the latest AAA games, drop it. Partners can max out at 3500 but only because they have quality options. I used 1500-2000 when I started out, most people can watch this.
>>322479713
>What is your actual point?
Self pleasuring. You?
>>322480103
How low is your self-esteem, honestly?
>>322480214
when I stream at that rate it's a blurry mess. But I mainly stream MMOs, maybe that's why
>>322480103
Well I don't really expect people to just watch me have fun. I'd prefer to structure it like a radio show people can talk to me through, just with something to keep your eyes busy while doing so. I guess I could advertise on /k/ in a military thread when people are asking questions and shit.
>>322480353
What MMOs? If the game requires high quality, you don't have much choice, though it locks out Aussie fans.
>>322480474
I hope you die on a mission.
>>322480605
I'm a submariner so the odds of that are extremely slim. It would be a quick death though.
>>322479902
I just streamed at the same time PewDiepie or some other big Youtuber at the time was done streaming(the guy had like 2k viewers) and thre were only a few people streamingit so i said fuck it.
At the end I got like 18 viewers and I didn't advertise at all, people just liked my content and/or my personality I guess.
>>322472794
>Not having 10 points in Charisma
>>322480474
A twitter is important for variety streamers, encourage viewers to follow it so they know when you're going live. Threads like this seem to work for bringing in viewers, OP has ~20
>>322480657
Suddenly i understand why streaming threads aren't allowed on /v/.
the fuck is happening
i can post without doing captcha
look
