i just took a quite count, and we have 96 user streams.
impressive, right?
well, it would be, but nearly 1 in 5 of those are VOD streams. on a good day, most of them would have one or two viewers. the rest? i imagine theyre players who livestream their games. i imagine, because i actually only see a handful that actually stream their games.
what happened to other people streaming their games live? i think the most enticing part of a stream and what sets it apart from just watching VODs is that you know theres another person watching it with you and playing for you.

the LS thing really boomed quickly when lots of great players like ret and lzgamer started streaming and now it's just flattening out. probably because of outside factors like school and stuff

Just because the stream is listed as "VODs" doesn't mean it always is that. Streamers have a way to switch from offline to vods to live. The reason there aren't many that are live is because everyone doesn't stream every time they play. There are still live streams on quite often though. But I agree that a lot of former streamers have gone inactive.

does streaming your own game cause it to lag? if so, that would suck

not at all, unless you're using an ancient computer

Just watch the ones that entertain you and note which ones are good. Easy fix.

The computer issue is pretty minor because it's more like processing power. The real issue is how fast can you upload to the internet. That's the major problem for me right now.
But to answer the question. Yes. Streaming can cause a game to lag AND cause delays with your mouse. You need to have a strong core or dual core for processing and plenty of RAM to help keep it going smoothly on top of stable upload to the internet to provide a clear stream.

I read somewhere on some back alley site that the specs for streaming live with livestream (disregarding game specs) is something like 3ghz single core or 2ghz dual core, and 1 gig of RAM.

A lot of players have on demand libraries that you can watch.
And btw, I have a 1.8GHz dual core laptop and the mouse lags/spikes while streaming and playing.

I'm kind of going off topic here, but does anyone know how much watching 1 hour of stream use up the internet usage (MB, GB)?
|
96 streams, but only half of them are listed as 'active'. And not all of them are people streaming their own FPview. So there's only about 30 people.

Roughly 300-400 MB per hour.
