Posting here to garner more attention from the livestream junkies (you, dear reade).

You need to add more colors to your post.

Intriguing!

But see, the biggest difficulty with Livestreaming is garnering interest from the community, and then sustaining interest in oneself. It's important to pick a game that takes a loooong time to play, but one that's sufficiently interesting to keep you entertained. Dwarf Fortress seems like absolutely the perfect game for this... it's rather odd that nobody else has really devoted a Livestream to it.

Well, actually, on further consideration... blasphemous though it may be, methinks that the vast majority of the folks who have migrated below the DF line of the forums are, frankly, a little bored with the current iteration. I think when the next version hits, he who starts a Livestream fortress shall be king among those not playing it themselves.

Anyway, the trouble is in playing long enough to get people to watch. I think establishing a defined timeslot would also go a long way toward increasing viewership, although, with time zones and all, it's sort of a pain. If only the whole world worked on Greenwich Mean Time.

Oh, by the way, I'm using your thread to kick around ideas mostly because it seemed as good a place as any, and also, because I want to be kept up to date on this thread using the little "Updated Topics" button. I'm lazy like that.

Hey, I'm up now to play AoE2: Conquerers.

Yeah, I tried doing it myself; it doesn't work, windowed or not. And even Game Mode wouldn't allow recording.

It seems it's unplayable, unless you plan on making a screenshot LP of it. Not as entertaining though.
