Pure Evu!

Hello, I'm Evu from Germany and I'm killing my backlog softly with this stream~
Occasionally i speedrun games, too o:

I also announce all/most of my streaming sessions on my Twitter (in case you don't want to follow me here)

Which games do you speedrun in which category? What are your personal bests (PB)?
Game Category Comment PB
PC Portal (1) SS Any% w/o OoB Mostly for racing. Challenge me on SRL :3 0:19:53
PC Super Meat Boy SS Any% Very very casually 0:47:32
PS2 Shadow of Rome SS Any% Practicing to get a run in for SDA 4:24:26
PC Caesar III IL / Any% It's hard, speedrunning this is tedious =/ -

Do you know any other streams run by cool guys/speedrunners?
http://www.w00ty.com/sda/stream/ is a collection of streams run by SDA community members for speedrunning purposes. Plus there is a similar side at http://speedrunslive.com/streams/ for the racing community of SRL.

Any more specific recommendations?
My personal favourites are: Romscout, Aftermath, Axon, Exo, Reaif, Funkdoc, Aneeslol, Mikwuyma & Surreal

Games look more sluggish than i remember them to be... How comes?
For PS2 games: Germany was pal territory before the HDTV era hit. 50fps were our standard while ntsc ran 60fps. Due to bad localization processes most games lost some of their speed and run around 8-15% slower than their american/japanese counter part.

For PC games: Streaming puts a lot of pressure on the CPU and sometimes mysterious stuff happens due that, but mostly there will be a bit of slowdown. I have a Q6600, which can deal with a lot, but sometimes (out of software architecture reasons) there can be conflicts between the games and XSplit.

Sometimes i might be dropping some frames as well during streaming. That's mostly a problem with the connection to twitch.tv servers.

What's your setup? Why is the sound quality of your voice so bad?
I mostly use XSplit for streaming and a Dazzle 100 as an capture card for my fat PS2 (with the AmaRecTV software inbetween). Due to mic recognition issues on XSplits side I'm bound to use a Sony Ericson bluetooth headset (Please bear with me here~) instead of the mic which comes with my Logitech Webcam 600 (which i use as the camera). I have an 15Mbps downstream, an 1Mbps upstream and broadcast in 480p (16:9 for 4:3 games & 11:5 for 16:9 games). In case I'm speedrunning I'm using WSplit as my timer.

Why do your characters have Japanese voices? Do you understand/speak Japanese?
If there's an option to switch over to Japanese voices in my JRPGs I will do so (like in all the NIS SRPGs), because it became an personal preference since I found Japanese voice work to be of much higher quality than any other. For the second question: neither, but I'm working towards it. You may as well call me Weeaboo.

Why don't you have a chip-in for donations?
I don't want your money and i wouldn't have any use for it atm anyway.
But if you really feel like having to give me something I will gladly accept any of these games as an gift for my steamaccount, since they aren't available in my country to buy in the first place, because my gouverment thinks virtual blood is the devil~

Your background?
...was custom made by me. You may use it, since the rights are Nintendos anyway. Tell me, if it pops or distracts you too much. On enough negative feedback I'm going to tone it down. (And no, that aren't all the 648 different Pokémon. Only 400 of them or so~)

Through which games did you already play on this stream?

For the general status of my games please visit my backloggery page.

Why do you archive your streams? Why isn't playthrough xxx from above in the archive?
I'm a guy who likes clinging to stuff, but sometimes that's just not possible (a.k.a. technical difficulties).

Which consoles do you have at the moment? Can you play game xxx?
At the moment I only have access to my PS1/2 titles, all my PC games, my handhelds and the Genesis/Megadrive games (via the official collection on Steam btw), since I got rid off my N64. Sure you can suggest which game I should play next, but keep in mind that some of my games are in German only and i will very unlikely play those on this international stream, when there are still so many english texted games in my collection~ Also I will never illegally emulate or pirate any game for this stream, and especially not on demand.

But are you planning to get xxx (in English) in the future?
Maybe~ There will be a lot of change for me in 2012. Among other things I plan to catch up on todays "next gen" consoles and to get a lot of classics in their NTSC-U version via Virtual Console and PSN (together with the AVerMedia Game Broadcaster HD [C127] capture card)
