Twitchcraft and Streamin'ology

 


Well, if the title of this post isn't a big enough clue as to what my cryptic Note 4 and post a few posts back was all about, let me just cut to the chase and tell you....

Me, stream, Inn

Me streamin' 

Me streaming!

I'm attempting to start live streaming on Twitch! For those who have no idea what I'm talking about, Twitch is a website that allows people to stream video live, or to watch people who are streaming video live!  It mostly centres around video gaming, but there are DJ streams, crafting streams, cooking streams, art streams and even people just having a chat as they go about their daily life.



So the plan for me is to stream some Gruesome Games this month to get people in the mood for Halloween and then also maybe nearer Halloween itself, to have a couple of streams where I chat to people about spooky happenings that have occurred to me or to them. The videos of these streams will then also be put up here for everyone to see after the fact...

I'm still a bit camera shy, so to start with I've managed to conjur up some life into the avatar I've been using for years, and he can now talk and move about a bit in a little window while I chat, so that's fun!

I think the first stream I have planned this month will be for tomorrow at 9pm UK Time, and will probably be going on for a few hours, so if you are around then and want to chat and think you'll be able to understand my Scottish accent, then why not drop by and see what I'm playing!?

Oh, and for anyone new, Gruesome Games does NOT mean the games are actually gruesome....I mean, some of them are, but some of them are also all fluffy and cuddly...the term Gruesome Games was just used as a sort of Halloweeny, Addams Family type of thing to cover any horror or spook themed games I would be covering. It doesn't mean there will only be games filled with gruesome gore and limbs everywhere, etc. although, as mentioned, there will inevitably be some filled with such content. 

Just thought I would clarify that, as some people still don't seem to get it.....

Also, don't worry, the blog will still be filled with all the usual posts too! So pop back tomorrow for our first visit this year to the vaults of the Digital Comic Museum, and in the meantime head over to the Countdown to Halloween hub page by clicking the image below to see what the other Cryptkeepers are up to!
