Need Pilots for Livestream!

[marcingru]

im in, if nothing comes up (ill make sure hehe)

[Aidan]

I can join if there's any space left. Also, is there a chance you could switch to twitch.tv? Loads more people have twitch accounts and it is much easier to get visibility as you can tag the stream with the game you're playing, it also helps that twitch is dedicated to video games. I don't think I've ever watched a game stream on ustream, I'm not sure I even have an account.

[TheConzio]

We have tried streaming on twitch for months, it simply does not work.
I did some research and most Australians struggle to stream on twitch, due to the distance of the servers.
Our attempts to stream on twitch would only last about 5 seconds, then it would cut off the connection.

We don't have this problem on Ustream, and you don't need an account to talk on chat

[Maciek1704]

I can't participate ;_; I sprained my wrist ;_;

[TheConzio]

Oh no, I hope it gets better soon

[TheConzio]

24 hours from the time of this post until we start the WipEout segment!

[Ace3000]

I feel obligated to tell you that I'm still available to play, I'll also be in the Ustream chat as ThatAceGuy!

Also, Conzio, do you mind if I record my end of the races?

[TheConzio]

Nope, you can record

[Ace3000]

Sweet!

I've been practicing on Pure, Pulse and 2048, it seems that actually works, cause I can race just as well on HD Fury!

[Snakenator1]

I hope I wake up early enough for this, the curse of being a Brit right now lol
Should make it though

[Maciek1704]

Oh no, I hope it gets better soon

thanks, i'll try join to you

[Ace3000]

Well, that's the WipEout HD part of the livestream done, that was really fun!

[Snakenator1]

Those were some of the best races I've ever had, absolutely intense phantom races just the way I like it
Well done to all the participants as well

I would really love to race some of you guys again during AVALON too

[Knux_Chaotix]

So sorry I didnt make it guys I didnt sleep very well. Im still up for a few races if any of you are still about.

[TheConzio]

Thank you for participating to those who did! It is very much appreciated, and everything was recorded

[TheConzio]

Aidan: There was some confusion in the chat, as we know an Aidan Lee personally as well xD
Were you Aidan63 (or something similar) in the ustream chat?

[Aidan]

Yes that was me, I usually have Aidan63 for account names but Aidan wasn't taken here so I chose that. I use leegamestudios for PSN and XBL because I messed up creating my account first time on both of them :/

[TheConzio]

This was the email I received from SpecialEffect after the livestream

"Hello Connor and the PureMarathon team!

Thank you so much for the fantastic support you have shown SpecialEffect with your 12 Hour Gaming Marathon, raising a fantastic $75.29 - we really appreciate it. I loved the short video you made of your event, and your gaming caricatures - they're brilliant! Every single dollar of support we receive helps us to continue helping so many of the truly remarkable people who need it the most - the severely disabled people we do our best to help get the most out of life.

Perhaps Alex, a young man with spinal muscular atrophy, can explain better the difference you’re helping us to make: "SpecialEffect is more than just a charity which helps people play videogames. They change lives. Through their knowledge and expertise, people like myself can now join in on the fun and play with friends on an even playing field, experiencing all the benefits of social interaction. It may be hard for some to imagine, but being included in such activities makes a huge and positive difference in our lives. SpecialEffect has helped me access my computer much better. I can now talk to my friends much, much more easily and I generally have a greater sense of freedom. Without their help, I would be very confined in what I can do. In fact, I’d probably be able to do virtually nothing I enjoy”.

And Tom, a young man we’re supporting at the moment: “I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone at SpecialEffect for giving me my life back.” Despite - or perhaps because of - his disabilities, Tom has gone on to take part in fundraising events for us.

Thank you so much for your understanding and appreciation of what we do, helping us to put such huge smiles on so many people’s faces, and thank you for your sheer drive and determination to help make that difference.

With our kindest regards. Alison"

We're thinking of doing another one in December/January, and we'll raise our target as well

[TheConzio]

We have currently uploaded the first four segments to YouTube, being Castle Crashers, Tomb Raider, Forza 5 and LBP 2.

This is our LBP 2 segment. More will be uploaded later, including WipEout

[Ace3000]

I will be uploading the WipEout stream from my POV soon as well, however, it's gonna take a while to upload, as it's nearly an hour long! Also, Australia's upload speeds are horrendous, you can back me up on that, can't you Conzio?
