Upsides:

• Much better server backend, so we can finally save 1080p offline images
  
• Probable Google+ integration for announcing you're streaming; could be seen as a downside
  
• Way more processing power in that server backend - finally we might see encoding options for non-partners!
  
• Another upside to the better server backend is that the 20s or more delay will probably be reduced to around 5 seconds or so, depending on how they handle it
  
• Better mobile apps - the current apps are horrible
  
• Might begin supporting WebM encoding, which means we could see HTML5 players/chat and better quality streams because of WebM's improved encoding over h.264

Downsides:

• Possible shitty Google+ integration
  
• Chat might become awful
  
• More ads?
  
• Might just get integrated with Google rather than staying its own site

Oh no, I don't have saving enabled, crap! I'll update this post again once I've streamed again. Sorry for the delay.

Updated the main post with new pricing info.

I've decided that, for the amount of time I'm putting into these and for the sheer amount of requests I got during the first day I was open (and the fact that a full week later I still have around 40 more requests to go), I'm going to start charging for complicated posters. I still want there to be an option for free posters though, so you can still get one character with a full custom loadout on any normal map for free. I've just gotten some really complicated freebies that take multiple hours on end and I'd like a slight reimbursement for my time. Even so, my pricing is still incredibly cheap compared to plenty of other people that charge up to 4 ref for a simple single character poster.

Anybody that requested their posters prior to this policy change will still get their original posters for free at a full 4K res. It'll be PMed to them.

If he's streaming, there's nothing wrong with 16GB which is what I assume it was originally (since it's 8GB 1600 now). Encoding takes up a fair bit of memory, as does capturing a video feed from a hungry game like TF2. Especially considering how cheap RAM is today, at this kind of price, it isn't a bad investment.

On just a 4670K and 760 you don't need anything above a 500W PSU, but I would aim for a better quality one. The OEM of that CX500 is Channel Well - I'd prefer to aim for something like an Antec Neo Eco 520c or SeaSonic S12II 520, both of which are SeaSonic internally.

Time for some more SFM... Why do I announce all of these every time?

I just realized some of the posters with blu characters often have red misc or weapon textures. If yours is affected, please tell me and I'll fix it; there are too many now to go through them one by one and find the ones affected.

Stream mostly TF2 content
I stream strictly SFM (Source Filmmaker) and TF2 (pubs, scrims, lobbies).

Stream consistently over the course of the week
I stream most nights that I'm not busy, especially for SFM content.

Provide a link to your stream
Sure thing! http://www.twitch.tv/yttriumtyclief

Provide a brief description of your stream
Love to stream myself working on SFM requests/commissions and occasionally will stream scrims or lobbies with my team(s).

State your country of residence
United States, native English speaker.

Give a brief background of your league/division/team history
I've been playing TF2 for over four years (pre-f2p) and am only now getting officially into competitive, though I've followed it for awhile. I cast with CaberCam, a channel already partnered with TF.TV and hopefully soon to be partnered with UGC. I'm the medic in three teams, one for HL, one for 6s, and one for 4s. The HL team is mid silver, the 6s team is steel looking to get into silver, and the 4s team is silver.

Chart for reference:
Straight Outta Sasketchewan [UGC Silver HL] Main Medic
Stockholm Syndrome [UGC Steel 6s] Main Medic
French Toast Mafia [UGC Silver 4s] Main Medic
Cabercam [Competitive Caster] Caster & Cameraman

Streaming between two finals? Hell yes!

I seriously need to get added to TFTV's live stream list sometime

More streaming again. http://www.twitch.tv/yttriumtyclief
Tonight I'm catching up with the huge todo list and hope to get it mostly finished off.

Even more SFM late at night. Going to try to nail down most of the old requests so won't be taking new ones from here on out; if you post, you're wasting your time, unless you hang out on the stream for a considerable amount of time. Likewise, if you've already posted, hanging on the stream will prioritize you.

Streaming again! Looks like I might just do this every afternoon as I work on these.
http://www.twitch.tv/yttriumtyclief

Doing another night of SFM! The sooner you hop in and hang out, the sooner yours will be finished. Bro-tier people get bro-tier priority. Also, if you haven't already requested but you join the stream, the "no more requests" thing will be waived.
http://www.twitch.tv/yttriumtyclief

6 hours later and I'm still streaming guys, remember, if you actually watch I'll probably work on yours in front of you. The latest 7 were all done on-stream.
http://www.twitch.tv/yttriumtyclief

Hey all, I'm gunna be streaming my progress all night. You can drop by and request I do yours next in chat, and you can basically cut to the front of the line (as thanks for supporting me).
http://www.twitch.tv/yttriumtyclief

Sounds good, you'll be up next.

I'm going to temporarily stop accepting requests so I can actually get through these.
