Off Air

I'm never going to see you play games am I. I'm strangely excited to see you play Dark Souls and go into ridiculous depth at how equipping one item is better than the other etc.

I don't have Dark Souls on PC, though.
I was playing till an hour ago, and once I figure out the thing Urban sent me (I do that, but it doesn't play the videos...), I'll just have some stuff playing.

If it wasn't 2 AM, I'd play more now. So expect me on in, uh, 8-9 hours or so.

 

[MattAY]

I'll be playing console-style then. But I can watch you at the same time I reckon.

 

[Green_Lantern]

I could potentially stream a new play through of Dark Souls.

 

[UrbanMasque]

I'm not saying you should, but we should definitely mark your streams with a GR watermark that links to your GR Profile/blog posting.

All in favor?

 

[UghRochester]

The watermark is too small for my taste. Is that the largest it could go? Also, I don't think many people would ever consider clicking on the watermark. I didn't think it could link to whatever.

Do you listen to anything I say man?

It links to where ever you want, its also as transparent as you want so you can allocate more screen space to actual game-play footage, and it generates a ton of click throughs (its actually more used than iframes)..

Considering I'm whoring myself out to my real life friends as well, and I like to keep my online and real life sides separate, I'm gonna pass on that for now.

Speaking of whoring myself out...

I'm just gonna play Brutal Legend until someone tells me to play something else.

B-but, I do listen, man. I just don't know if people would ever click on it (specially people not familiar with Ustream) they would see the watermark and most likely Google it.

..really?..

So people would Google something rather than attempting mouse over it? Also, if you don't use it of course they won't know its there.

Who thinks to hover over a watermark and click on it?

 

[danielrbischoff]

I hover over shit all the time. Stop arguing about this and get back to streaming.

yes.

 

[MattAY]

By "shit" he means hentai links - but yeah.

Me too.

So what the fuck are you guys playing next?

 

[UghRochester]

OK OK OK!
I've placed the watermark and link to my GR profile. The only thing I dislike now are my old vids with GR logo on them, you see double.

You do understand that these are the arguments I have at work on a daily basis. I basically try to justify NOT dropping features due to usage, functionality, and UX. We're not a shady site where people are scared to click on links attached to content - people explore with their mouse.

Ugh, your old vids with GR and two logos on it now are your fault sir. Plan ahead now, Place the watermark somewhere on your player, and inside your switcher/production software leave that space empty so it looks like you planned it out that way.

 

[Green_Lantern]

I might try to start streaming random stuff like Dark Souls, Super Meat Boy, or Rogue Legacy if anyone would be interested. Even though I'm not very good.

Oh, I know. I'll probably delete those videos, now that I figured out I could use the remote console

Do it! Of course, you'll probably have Urban coming in to tell your how terrible you are, but I think that's bro love.

 

[Longo_2_guns]

Even though no one watches me, I'm still gonna keep at it for a while. At the very least because then there's a place where video of all my games are saved!

So I say go for it. I'll probably watch some if I get the chance.
