Diving into the Tablet World

So, I have been doing a lot of research on tablets as I am looking to have something to bring with me to school to entertain me on my long breaks in between classes. I was using my iPhone for a while but the amount I was using it in between classes was leaving me with a dead battery at the end of the day. Why don't I just use my laptop in between classes? Well I have an older laptop so not only is it pretty slow (it hasn't aged well), it is also really heavy. With all of the notebooks I carry around with me plus lugging around that laptop it made my backpack ridiculously heavy. Thus I started looking into the tablet and ultra-book market. After looking at the ultra-books that were available I determined they were not what I was looking for. I mainly came to this decision because of the price point for a decent ultra-book. After looking through the current tablet market and what was displayed at CES I came to a decision. I decided to purchase a Nexus 10. What brought me to this decision? Well the price is what I was looking for and the hardware is really good for the price range. I mean if I had the money I would have purchased a Surface Pro. But since I don't have upwards of $1000 laying around I went with the 16gb Nexus 10. So far I am loving it. It is very fast and the app market is pretty decent. It does everything I want. I may consider getting a stylus for it and try out note-taking on it but for now it does everything that I need. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a tablet.

Streaming Woes

It is so hard to get an audience when streaming. The market is so over saturated many people have no reason to give new streamers a chance when there are already established streamers out there. I have been streaming for months and the highest viewer count I have seen on my stream is probably 10. The only reason I had a number that high also was because I was casting a tournament my CSL team was hosting. I really have no idea what I need to do to attract more viewers. The same thing goes with my YouTube account where I upload some of the VODs. I am sure that could easily be fixed once I figure out how to bring viewers to my twitch stream. In the mean time I will keep on streaming with the hope that someone will give me a chance and possibly by word of mouth bring more viewers to my stream.

Podcast Postponed

So the Podcast will be postponed until further notice. The reason for this is because my computer was stolen. I was coming back from a LAN and unloading my car when my tower was stolen. It happened when I went inside to bring in the first load. I still have my laptop but unfortunately it does not have enough power/space to do the podcast on. I will hopefully have a new pc built around January.

Podcast Name

So as you may know if you follow this blog at all, I run a gaming podcast that still does not have a name and if you don’t follow the blog, well you should. Well I think I have decided on a name for the Podcast for now. The podcast will now be titled Herp Derp Podcast. I think it describes what we do on the podcast pretty well :P. 

This week's podcast

The podcast scheduled for this week has been postponed. However, it has been postponed for a good reason. This reason is that I am attending IPL 5 in Las Vegas. I will do the podcast shortly after I return.

First Podcast

So we finally got around to doing the first podcast but twitch.tv messed up and split the recording into a bunch of 18 second segments. So if you want to try and watch the podcast you can go and listen to each of those 18 second segments. But we are shooting for doing another one next Saturday and I can use this first one as a learning experience.
