use winamp or foobar, i can't see a reason to use itunes unless you buy digital copies of music (and even then you should just do that through amazon/bandcamp)

that was awesome

it seems like it would be pretty easy to add a plugin that displays the music on screen

If you can find the blue snowball for under 50 bucks I'd get it. It's what I use, but it's definitely not worth anything more than 50 dollars.

sorry about some of the errors on my end, i talked to lange and they have been fixed

now only if the stv crash gets fixed >;(

somehow they are more amazing than i thought they would be

also for the record they are: langebud and budlange

maybe ask him if he was intereseted in casting TF2, his fanbase would eat that up

Doing what you excel at is the best way to gain viewership. If you're funny, be funny. If you're really good at TF2, showcase your skills in PUGs/Scrims and share you're knowledge of the game with demo reviews. If you're a very social person, interact with chat a ton (even if you're not I'd still recommend at least acknowledging the chat every so often). Remember, gaining viewership takes time, unless you're a very high level player.

Watching/analyzing other streams helps too, if you like a certain stream, ask yourself why you like it.* If you check out a stream and leave in 5 minutes, ask yourself why you didn't enjoy the stream.* Then maybe even take a look at one of your own VODs to see what you like and don't like about your own stream.

I'm not a huge advocate of giving stuff away unless you really are in the giving mood. Sure you'll get a fair amount of viewers when you do it, but chances are most of the people are there just for the giveaway (this includes already established streams). With that said, if you have an absolute fuckton of items you want to give away, you could probably have some sort of policy of raffling off an item at the end of your stream each time you stream.

*not limited to TF2 streams

Also this so much:

Edit: If you have funny/amazing things happen, highlight it. You can submit it to stream highlights too 8)

IMO the pub shouldn't be 32 man and should also feature only massive maps like badwater, upward, etc (payload works well in pubs, usually). Maps like granary, foundry, badlands, etc are horrible in pubs because they are really stalematey and they usually devolve to spamfests.

Appreciate the work but those are my two complaints!

tf2 is my fav anime

Awesome to see this channel finally taken over! I think running the channel somewhat like DotA Cinema would be a pretty safe bet. They seem to have many different types of segments such as, Top 10, Mythbusters, Community Item Showcase, and a handful of others. Obviously it would take a ton of teamwork to put all that type of stuff up consistently, but I feel like attempting to do something similar would help the channel grow extremely quickly. The segments would obviously be up to you and whoever else is running the channel but I think you guys could come up with some awesome stuff. The only way I feel like I might be able to help out is to throw some stream highlights your way and possibly have a "Stream Highlight of the Week" segment, or something like that.

Sorry for a bit of a rant, I'm just excited for the community to have this since YouTube can be a powerful tool for spreading competitive TF2.

crosby and lemieux were 1st overall draft picks and malkin was picked after ovechkin

regardless im exited to finally watch the only good buffalo team play sports

even though the targe and screen are strictly worse than the sticky launcher, this shit isn't legit at all

http://www.youtube.com/user/teamfortresstelevision is open
http://www.youtube.com/user/tftv isn't
i think if there is a way to contact youtube about getting the teamfortresstv account that would be best
