Was slow to get this on the blog, is my livestream from when SWL was still in Head Start, prelaunch. Audio was a a little borked at times, thankfully I have it fixed now. 🙂

Heya folks!
As some of you might have noticed, I finally got some time to livestream Secret World Legends last night!!! 😀 I’ve been *so* excited to be able to do that…but my work schedule was crazy during Head Start, plus I’m recovering from an especially nasty cold. Many thanks to everyone who hung out. 🙂 It was a lot of fun for me to get back to streaming, especially with this game, and I hope fun for you! (I’ll get the stream up on Youtube sometime today, and post that here, too.)
I’d mentioned I was going to try to livestream a little today for the official launch, but I think too much is going to get in the way. My voice is still pretty bad this morning, so it’s probably smarter to give it more of a rest. I also noticed my audio was a little off last night, I’m going to need time to play around with OBS and see what happened there. >_> I’m not really going to have time for that since I need to spend today on last minute cleaning and prep for Nash flying in tomorrow. (You folks can thank him for building this pc, allowing me to stream SWL on Ultra graphic settings. ^_^)
While he’s here, I’m unlikely to stream, though I’ll tweet if I change my mind. And I should still be there for Beyond The Veil this Thursday. 🙂 Blogging is also on pause for the moment, unless I get a little time later tonight. (And yes, will set up a new Secret World Legends category Soon(tm).)
We’ll pick this up again in about a week, most likely starting from scratch with a new character. In the meantime, Djinn has been putting together a list of folks streaming or planning to stream Secret World Legends which can be found here:Â https://www.reddit.com/r/SecretWorldLegends/comments/6ila1m/secret_world_legends_streamer_index/. We have an awesome community, and I’m sure many of them will be streaming as much as they can!
Finally getting the last livestream posted here. New mic is working and hugely better than I had before, but go fig I forgot to adjust the UI on my alt. Ah, well… the Twitch chat overlay was also working this time so I’ll just call it a double win. We ran The Rec Center Cannot Hold, Carter Unleashed, Tier 10 of Dawning of an Endless Night, and a few missions from the Overlook and Sam Krieg. I also highlighted a section if anyone wants to see my dog’s cameo. Thanks again to everyone who popped in, it was a fun night. 🙂
My job gets in the way of any sort of regular streaming schedule, but I do at least try to post on Twitter (@darkgryphon42) as soon as I know I can run that night.

Welcome to the true spirit of Blaugust! I didn’t get any real sleep last night, just dozed for a few hours. And had to open the store early this morning. 
But, even though I didn’t technically sign up for daily posts…I don’t want to lose the streak I have going. So let’s do a post while running on caffeine and exhaustion, what could possibly go wrong?
I’m going to ramble more about where I’m at with getting back into livestreaming.
I managed to stream last night despite being tired and vaguely headachy. There’s that Blaugust nudge working again (at least partly). It’s like my dog when he’s reminding me I haven’t fed him since his last meal…both persistent and insistent. 😉 Continue Reading
Calling the actual stream last night Day 3 of Blaugust, and adjusting the post time here accordingly. Possible thoughts on it after work today, if I’m coherent at all after not being able to sleep.

I’ve been on break from streaming (other than Beyond the Veil) for at least as long as I’ve been on break from the blog. A couple days ago, I finally got around to running a short test stream. I put off adding it to the blog partly because I’m slightly annoyed by it. Not the stops and starts – that was expected for a test stream. But the other things I noted while watching it later. My headset really is dying and not helping the sound quality, settings need tweaking, some UI in game should have been moved…I had weird camera placement since I forgot I slouch like mad when I’m tired. It was also laggy, and I hate that.
Thing is, all of that is part of what made it hard to get back in at all. I’m probably not as picky as some, but I spent a good chunk of hours adjusting things in my preview window before I went live. Trying to make sure everything looked right. Like blogging, if I’m going to stream I want it to be the best quality I can manage. I don’t like looking at it later and seeing something I missed.
Ran some missions with my Illuminati alt tonight. Exploding happened. >_>
For the complete stream:
Starting the year off right with a long-promised livestream of Funcom’s The Park. Apologies for the quiet start, tired Gryph worked today and didn’t think to boost her mic to make up for it.
I absolutely love this game, as I may have mentioned more than once. The expected bits of horror work, but even more than that, the later dive into non-supernatural horror hits me very hard on a personal level every time.
Want to catch my stream live? I announce my streams on Twitter and Facebook, or you can follow me on Twitch!
I’d planned on doing an extensive post about this year’s Extra Life event, but even after a 7 hour “nap” my brain is still pretty worn out. I still want to post something, in an attempt to communicate how blown away I am by my friends and online community.
I started streaming at 7am November 7, just hoping to reach a $200 goal. By the end of the 24 hours I’d had to increase my goal twice, with a last-minute donation bringing my total to $400. Team Otterdown as a whole managed to bring in over $5000 in donations to help sick kids. The generosity is astounding, even more so when you realize that as a team, most of our donations came from right within The Secret World community. Continue Reading
