24 hour live stream for faf awareness and charity

Postby Aulex » 05 Nov 2013, 19:31

Update #2: Still postponed, but more hope!
**With the large influx of response by the community (thanks tex!), i'm definitely going to try and do this but i'm still going to postpone it until i can create a solid plan and get all my problems fixed and hopefully create even more hype, thanks for the support!
Also, if we can get the live replay server utility working then we can get some dual casting in making the stream even more interesting!
viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5597
One more thing, if anyone wants to create some sort of cover art for the stream for me to put up that would be absolutely amazing, what i need is 1 for when the stream is down and one for when i take my breaks. Pm me in aeolus or post in this thread and I'll give you more specifics**

Update #1:Postponed
**With the lack of response from the community, i'm going to postpone this until i can create a better plan for this and hopefully hype up the community more.**

Original Post

I'm planning a 24 hour live stream this saturday, 11/5 from 6pm to 6pm sunday 11/6 EST.(TBA) Now i currently don't have too much planned but i'll add more to this thread as i get more information, currently i want to break it into 4 segments where i take 15 minute breaks in between for food, bathroom, etc. I also need a list of background music suggestions, write it in this thread so it's easier to keep track. I also need suggestions for charities, the current ones that i have in mind are either charity water or extra life but i'm still welcome to more suggestions. Also i'll try and be in mumble or skype(give me your skype name if you want to participate) during that entire time for anyone to hop in a chat and hopefully some faf celebrities. Also anyone can help in a minor way by just spreading the word, mention it to your friends, mention it to anyone and anybody!

Current plans:
    Four 15 minute planned breaks to break into four 6 hour segments - used for food,bathroom,etc. (I will take appropriate emergency breaks if needed, but i'll try to limit these)

    Donate all proceeds to charity that will be determined soon

    Will be playing faf for the most part, maybe a different game here in there to spice it up

    Time slot will be from 6pm 11/5 to 6pm 11/6 EST(TBA)

Current Problems
    OBS (open broadcasting software) sometimes crashes when i stream faf, something to do with my laptop swapping between my integrated gpu and my discrete one, if anyone has a solution to this it would be amazing

    Need a second monitor for twitch chat Solved! my friend is letting me borrow his, yay!

    Energy drinks taste bad

    Need more awareness, if anyone wants to make a well written reddit post (let me review it first) and hopefully we can get some new people to join faf. (Thanks for the facebook link tex!)

Content
    Me playing ladder or custom 1v1s / 2v2s maaaaybe 3v3s if it's a smaller map

    casting games (GIVE ME REPLAYS!)

    possible other games if anyone is interested, here is a list of all my games on my steam account, i may think about buying smaller games, but nothing too larger, post the name of it in this thread if you want me to

This sounds fantastic! Maybe you could co-ordinate with some other casters? Also, depending on what your discrete graphics card is (nvidia vs amd), you can use the nvidia control panel to force certain applications to use the discrete graphics card.

I think the game you want to play is Starcraft 2.

yea sadly my laptop y510p is set up so it doesn't like to be told which graphics card is being used, it decides on its own.

Sounds like a great idea, but yeah need to give a longer timeframe to build up some interest and get people to know about it. Sure some of the casters would be glad to mention it and help generate interest.

Since you'll be playing for 24 hours, maybe some relaxing tunes will help in between.
