Obs streamer actually, it's free.

OBS, yes. XSplit is a pile of rear end and crackers. (And the deinterlacing options aren't as good.)

Edit: As an example of XSplit being bad, we have a secondary machine for the Skype devs capturing the stream mirror feed, because Skype itself doesn't like the capture card and XSplit has a fake capture card output option which we feed into Skype.

All it's been doing for the last 24 hours or so is just sitting there so I can watch the stream output on the far side of the tech station, and every six hours or so the preview framerate drops like a stone and I have to restart XSplit to get it to come back to a watchable state.

Meanwhile all that's happened on the actual stream box, which has FIVE capture cards in it, is a couple of blue screens related to the lovely Avermedia drivers.

Nowadays XSplit is not needed unless you're still on XP or otherwise stuck with DirectX 9.

Apparently, the run is bad, or something? If the runner didn't keep saying, "This is bad," I don't think anyone would be noticing. It's still interesting.

8 minutes in and he already starts apologizing. I swear, Jak games are cursed at marathons or something. Those and Ratchet games never seem to be consistent enough to behave for a marathon.

The guy does TASes, he's likely a perfectionist. He probably subconsciously expects to get similar results in his real-time runs.

God drat Jak II is boring compared to the first and third games. No wonder I never finished it.

Yeah, it doesn't do the GTA thing well at all. Also, it's so loving dark. Would it kill them to put in some more lighting?

Just use this reddit page which actually updates

Ones to watch so far are probably

Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels
Super Kaizo World
Super Monkey Ball Deluxe
Tetris Grandmaster

Really quite silly indeed.

Man, the runner makes this seem so easy.

Also, some of these french voiceovers really are godawful.

How long does it take between donation and it being confirmed in the list?

Jak 2 was such a disappointment to me at launch. I was expecting more of the same as the first Jak and instead ended up with a mediocre sandbox game.

It definitely feels like donations have slowed down over the past day or two. I was pretty surprised when I woke up today and they still weren't past $600k. Hopefully things will pick up with the more popular games coming up.

Yep.

I feel like at least this has gotten a bit more chill as the run went on. It's pretty pleasant background noise.

e: And just as I said that he gets really down on himself again.

I would throw in the TAS block (though there is a lot of waiting around) and at least Trio the Punch if not the rest of the awful games block.

Shovel Knight and They Bleed Pixels had devs on Skype and were fun, if not mindblowing.

The schedule says 'Setup Gear Solid Green', later on there's a 'Setup: The Final Frontier'

Just sounds like a funny name for setup before Pokemon.

A ground Zeroes run literally takes about 5 minutes at most, they can fit it in unless setup is a huge pain.

I think it's just for the bad voiceovers, there was a bidding war for French or another language.

Also the Portal two players one controller run was really fun and worth adding too.
