Planetside 2 cast

From time to time I am going to cast the game during Ops with my outfit. Feel free to check it out.

Following and looking forward to it.

I was thinking from time to time I might cast something else judging on what I feel like playing and stuff, how hard is that going to be I take it I need a capture card of some kind? And some kind of software?

If you want to capture footage off an external device, such as a console, you will need a capture card. If you want to capture footage from your computer, you will need software. We have been using Vhscrcap as a screen capture tool and Adobe's Flash Media Live Encoder as the streaming program. It gets the job done; the only downside(pretty major downside, actually) being that it's a resource hog. When I'm playing a game, my cores are usually at about 15-40% usage. As soon as I click 'Start Streaming' on FMLE, my cores shoot up to 100% usage.

The last two, streams, however, I've been using Open Broadcaster Software. It's still in Alpha, but so far it seems really great. Way less cpu-intensive for a start. Plus the ability to choose which JTV server to upload to. For help on how to use OBS, check out this link.

But, above all, be prepared for hair-shredding, screaming, head-slamming, teeth-gnashing frustration in trying to set up your stream.
