I personally prefer FFsplit to xsplit.

Hmm never heard of it tbh, is it better? What stuff does it offer compared with split?

I don't get along with FFSplit. It's free but Xsplit just feels easier to use.
OBS (open broadcast software) is another option which a friend uses.

I use XSplit, it is a little sluggish, no doubt because it is based on flash, but it works well enough at the mo. Still waiting on a live edit mode which Wirecast has, but that thing costs some mega £££.

Using Black Magic Intensity Shuttle & Intensity Pro cards for the game capture.
Logitech C910 web cams for player / commentary cams. (works the best with XSplit, Microsoft lifecams can freeze/crash)

Open Broadcaster (OBS) is by far, the best software to stream with if your system supports it (requires directx 10 gfx card)
I stream using an Elgato Game Capture HD

I used to use xsplit to stream fighting game stuff, but sort of got bored of the "scene". Was a lot of fun though

Streaming is awesome, and the added community following you may get just makes it better.

I like watching speedruns on Twitch. I prefer to watch things like that than normal TV!

I was watching speedruns of Majora's Mask, and the amount of glitches in that game was Unbelieveable.

Mario 64 is another game that I thought I was good at, and i'm watching speedrunners make mario parkour everywhere, soo impressive.

I stream speed runs regularly on twitch. Usually resident evil 2 and Fzero gx

I sometimes watch speed runs as well, it amazes me how fluid some of the players are at exploiting / jumping etc.

Been watching some guy do San Andreas currently, seems its based more on luck with things going well then anything else

It amazes me how they can keep playing the same game over and over again. I'd get so bored. And with GTA:SA, the guy can just reset the timer and start all over again if he makes a mistake - even if he's been playing for two hours. That would drive me nuts.

I've started streaming StarCraft 2 ladder matches and tournament casts I do on twitch.tv/Kreeeee.

None of this rubbish CoD streaming for me!

Adam_ak just did the world record for Vice City at 1:38:34.96. Apparently he beat it by 1 second.
