UPDATE: Well, that was fun. I think we learned that the stream should feature a single conversation-piece game, not an attention-dominating multiplayer one. The conversation essentially halted once the Left 4 Dead Game got going. <\/p>\n
Next time we should also make sure to have a ready list of stream-ready games. Exiting a game causes Livestream Procaster to kill the feed. Then there would be five minutes of dead time while we haggled over what we should play next. This is exacerbated by the fact that Procaster is dumber than a box of white crayons, and has all sorts of infuriating eccentricities. <\/p>\n
We’re learning as we go. I just realized that we’re sort of inventing new ways to interact. I mean, I’m sure we’re not the first people to have a “party” like this, but it’s the first time any of us has participated in one. We all know how a LAN game works. We know how a chatroom works. We know how vent works. But once you start linking things together the old assumptions go out the window. <\/p>\n
Also, sorry about my abrupt departure there at the end. Real Life intruded, as it does. <\/p>\n
We’ll try another one of these in a couple of weeks, at a different time, on a different day. Thanks for showing up. Hope you had fun.<\/p>\n

The stream is tonight! Stop in, chat, watch Josh play videogames, eat candy. (Candy not included.) The URL for the party is:<\/p>\n
