Ever thought of playing the Darkest Dungeon?

2016-01-21 05:58:29 +0000 UTCA thought for streams is have your indie non-video series projects (planet are, bounty train, etc) and have 2 or 3 games in a single session.

2015-12-31 22:11:53 +0000 UTCYep, those are all candidates I had in mind, in fact!

2015-12-23 01:18:10 +0000 UTCI think it won't add much labour, as each livestream will give me at least one edited highlights video, so it's not much more work than it would be to just make a normal video, so hopefully that would be ok.

2015-12-23 01:16:04 +0000 UTCI'll keep an eye on that, don't worry :)

2015-12-23 01:15:55 +0000 UTCAh yes, the Terminator thing was dreadful - another example of giving away literally the whole film up to the final fight... The Beta has kind of returned a fair bit as SO MANY games have early access phases now, which are fairly easy to get access too - not exactly a Beta, but a similar principle.

2015-12-23 01:15:30 +0000 UTCThat is an interesting point - Mass Effect 2 livestream... Huh, yes... Ok, we could be onto something here.

2015-12-23 01:14:01 +0000 UTCThe next one will likely be the KotoR, so that will indeed be its own thing :)

2015-12-23 01:13:26 +0000 UTCGood live stream on Sunday. Look forward to future ones. Planet base could be good. Or FTL / curious expedition. Both reasonable in terms of time for a play through. And both give natural points for viewer participation - multiple choices etc. Live stream might actually be a better format for those than pre recorded videos.

2015-12-22 19:32:30 +0000 UTCIn Re KOTOR: Please set up a separate commentary recording from your mic, because if Twitch gets upset with the music, they will respond by stripping the audio. You can then repair using your commentary only audio.

2015-12-22 19:27:06 +0000 UTCYes, this would be great! You don't have to trim grinding out, so it would be decent on livestream, too.

2015-12-22 19:16:01 +0000 UTCI love that you're livestreaming, but be aware that you can burn out REALLY quickly by streaming + shooting and editing YT quality videos. I'd rather you stick around. Some people balance this by populating YT with stream copies (Slowbeef, et al). Alternately, some people will do fun one offs as streams, and keep to regular edited YT posts. I think this second option would probably be best for you. I love watching you fumble through a new game and discover the mechanics (Planetbase was GREAT for that, you sold me a copy at least). Don't do Fallout on livestream. I'm saving all of your FO4 videos for once I've finished the main quest with my wife. :)

2015-12-22 19:13:34 +0000 UTCReally enjoyed the live stream Jon! keep up the good work :)

2015-12-22 12:31:17 +0000 UTCYou're going to burn yourself out on livestreaming very quickly if you try to stay at 100% entertainment value at all times. At least for me I watch livestreams more for the person streaming than the content being streamed.

2015-12-22 12:13:16 +0000 UTCAnother example for film trailers spoiling too much: the latest Terminator. For "gaming press gets the game earlier", as an ex-gaming journalist, sometimes you get to play with betas, although as game development is increasingly pushed to continue to (and in many cases after) the last possible minute, these were getting even rarer. That being said, I left the industry a couple years ago.

2015-12-22 11:22:15 +0000 UTCI'd love to see more with the Mass Effect series. I just finished the series for the first time and I'm floating on a Mass Effect high right now. : )

2015-12-22 01:14:03 +0000 UTCJon, as a fan, I just want to say, although the livestream was very entertaining, I wish you hadn't done Fallout 4, because I love the Fallout videos as their own thing.

2015-12-21 23:22:35 +0000 UTCThat's very kind of you to say - personally, I reckon I can do much better in future.

2015-12-21 22:32:24 +0000 UTCI got into Christmas in early November. I always hit "the excited ceiling" too early.

2015-12-21 22:29:31 +0000 UTCThe livestream was awesome! I can't wait for you to do more, even if I do have to get up at some ridiculous hour of the morning here in Australia for them - I'd love to see you do Bounty Train, I brought that because of you and fell in love with it - and Planetbase and KotOR would be awesome too (as would more FO4).
