Chris, can I call you Chris? I have two questions, the first being; May I ask what kind of capture card you would need to do what you want to do? The second would be would you accept the donation of said card from a fan?
First and foremost you may always call me Chris—Rollo T is just a silly internet screenname. Onto your question: at this point I wouldn’t accept the donation of card from a viewer mostly because I really don’t think my current PC can handle it. If a viewer wanted to donate I would be very thankful, but the current PC I’m running just doesn’t have the ram, processor, and power supply to run a card faithfully and I wouldn’t want someone to donate something like that just to have my PC crash and ruin the card.
I have committed myself to buying a new PC to the point where I have a build ready and a good estimate of its price point (little under $1500 total). That would include a capture card, and I’m saving up for the machine on my own. I hoped to have it by the summer, but sadly the money I’ve been able to save for the machine has not been as much as I’d like after dealing with many of the expenses of being a new home owner. I’m still working towards it (and Blip CPMs have dramatically improved which will help), but it still isn’t likely to happen on my current funds and savings until early next year. If a viewer wanted to help increase my capability to stream better games and stream console games (like Kingdom Hearts which I cannot wait to stream), the best way would be to provide a tip/donation (whichever your preferred word is). I like to stress that the option is there for those who are entertained by the streams and want to do something to help the stream in return, and the link can be found underneath the video on Twitch.tv/RolloT.
If any viewer tips/donates I sincerely thank them for both watching and helping out the stream. Alternatively, just spreading the word of the shows is a huge help. I’m currently ¼ of the way to becoming a Twitch partner which would be a huge increase in what I could do. Having the higher quality stream and greater diversity of games to play will be a big benefit to attracting new viewers, but word of mouth always helps just the same. Regardless, I do want to thank anyone willing to help out the stream. Perhaps with internet blowjobs.
