Honestly I watched some of the Solitude stream but I turned it off after about 4 minutes because all I heard was the word fuck in multiple context, and how much of a bad player nugz was.

I was also hoping to hear JgN shout cast the match.

just let scott "knockout" gordon and myself do commentary with special guest bruce smith.. we'll get it handled, we might even call up Eric "Scatman" Macaluso... we got this.

It had that cool feature where it would read the server log and report kills in IRC (matchbot) and if you could watch that it would help point out players to watch on the stream in advance because the HLTV is delayed but the matchbot is close to real-time.

best idea yet.

The stream delay is barely more than the time it takes to upload to ustream and then to you.

I think we need to get Matt or Chuck to fly out to a random person on the teams' house and report live.

We'll keep trying, but I think the fact of the matter is that some streaming services are just not going to work for some people, while for others they will work just fine.

i think the closest you can get is watching the hltv instead of the stream. if you want the commentary with it, people can sit in the channel, while muted, with matt and chuck. not sure if you guys have started doing this

Fun impromptu interview after the match last night, wasn't exactly prepared for it but that's the point I think.

I would also like to second the motion for halftime interviews just quick "how much meaningless indecipherable jargon can you fit in this 15 second window" would add a lot to the overall humor level.

And I'm sure this would be a bit of work but I think it would be hilarious to do some sort of parody of "SoundFX" on NFL network, but instead of the mashup of stuff over the course of the game just have a person in either teams vent recording. At halftime have the person recording choose the funniest moment for each team and play it for the shoutcast listeners, and do the same thing after the game. Just a thought.

P.s I am willing to help in any way you guys need just let me know.

I brought it up because whenever you seem to comment on a persons play-style or said 3 quickly down, motive would jump to that person or that side of the map and those were the most interesting parts of watching for me as a viewer. I also enjoyed when you said, "I think the strat for MVPz should be for beas to stop getting naded by JB" or something

Ahhh okay. That's good feedback. Thanks.

For both streams I joined halfway through first half so I dont know if it would have been different if I started from the beginning of the broadcast.

enjoyed the youtube versions though, great job! Would like matt to make more game references like the noting 3 downs and momentum changes that he has been, but maybe even comment more on how players are rotating or playing too slow or too fast. I think that would lead to motive criticizing more people(a good example is when you guys made fun of me whenever you were on my POV).

Did we make fun of you? I just remember saying you could play pretty much every gun?

It's possible that either ustream was really busy or FiOS in my area was really busy or my dad was downloading goat porn. Best explanations I can think of. FMLE auto-adjust is set up to drop frames but I think that's used for when it can't keep up with the encoding, not necessarily the uploading, and I really doubt that I lack the processing power for this.

by **Sears** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 3:02 pm

Chuck and I tested out pretty much every streaming site imaginable, and ustream was by far the best option for him.

Twitch worked ok for the first test stream we did, the problem is that he has a really hard time maintaining a connection to twitch while streaming. It got to the point where it was disconnecting him like every 30 seconds.

As far as the video quality goes, Ustream has also been the best. It's comprable to what he had on twitch, but its more stable, and the video pixelates far less often and much less when it does.

Really strange that ustream was choppy for some of you guys. Doesn't make sense at all.

by **avenger** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 2:45 pm

i didnt notice a difference in quality /shrug.

by **SKiNnTo** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 2:25 pm

I'm just speaking of my experience in watching the matches. Apparently ustream was better for some of you. Using ustream seemed to be choppy for me the entire time. Twitch was actually watchable.

I know hypnotik of lab has streamed his games in the past and maybe could give you a little info that could help making the stream better quality and run smoother for the viewers.

SKiNnTo wrote:It worked better on twitch than ustream.

Nothing about it worked better. I must have really shitty routing to Twitch.tv because I connect to _any_ of their servers thru RTMP and the connection just drops constantly, even when not streaming. The result is the shitty segmented stream that we had last week. At least on ustream the quality is about the same and I haven't dropped connection once; the only shittier thing is that I keep forgetting to record the motherfucker.

by **SKiNnTo** » Tue Mar 06, 2012 8:23 pm

It worked better on twitch than ustream. I agree with a scoreboard and no mini map. More first person POV. I turned it on to hear about a drinking game? Interesting...

I think the effort being put into the Live feed's is awesome. I'm glad people are still dedicated to this game, because this is probably one of the few games i've ever enjoyed playing. I think the interviews could be a good addition, i dont think they should be very serious, comedy would definately help peak my interest in watching it. Although i wouldnt want to see something thats trying too hard to be funny. A good mixture of comedy and serious questions would probably be appealing.

I understand everybody saying "let's not take this too seriously because it's 2012," but people are taking their time to watch these things. It's not like you only have 5 people interested in it and you don't want Matt and motive to get too into it for nobody. If the entire community (or a big group) is giving feedback about how they think the interviews would be interesting, then would it make it "too serious" or just in-depth and interesting?

Just an opinion. I still haven't gotten a chance to watch the things yet!

Matt + motive works really well together, only thing that could put it over the top was if somehow scat came back and jumped in the mix. Just don't turn it into a "too many chiefs not enough indians" scenario.

A++ so far though. Keep it up!

Edit: One more thing, any chance of bringing back the official preds for playoffs? I don't know all the teams but I'd be willing to write some for a round or two if there were others interested.
