Month: February 2016

We are happy to announce that our media team will be helping out with the production of GameStart Asia 2015 in Singapore this coming November 13-15 2015.

Gamestart Asia is the largest English speaking gaming convention in Southeast Asia and is getting bigger and better in it’s second year!

Our media production team lead by Offcast and Farp will produce the live streaming setup for the main stage of Gamestart Asia, as well as the Capcom Pro Tour Asia Finals. That makes the event completely powered by XSplit V2 demonstrating how powerful and flexible XSplit is for live event productions.

If you’re not going to be in attendance, you can watch the live streams at twitch.tv/gamestartasia and twitch.tv/capcomfighters. We will also be posting occasional updates on our social media channels throughout the event to make sure you’re up to date.

Let us know if you’re coming! Please don’t hesitate to say hi when you meet us there. 🙂

It’s that time again where we randomly visit members of the #XSplitFamily who are live streaming, pick those that we like the most and feature them on a blog post like this. If your name is not here, it doesn’t mean we don’t like you. It just means that your time to be showcased is not now yet. Maybe it’s in the next XSplit Community Streams blog post. Who knows!

Here are members of the #XSplitFamily that we found to be the most interesting when we visited their channel while they’re live.

CoffeenCorgis

We stopped by CoffeenCorgis Twitch channel as Kimberly was streaming Riven, a puzzle based game which is the 2nd game in a line of 6 games that Kim is marathoning.

She is mainly a puzzle based gamer/streamer as she prefers the slower based games at the moment. And in her own words “Games here include obscure, whimsical, indie, nostalgic, puzzle and mystery, and the occasional AAA title” so there really is something for everyone.

You can find Kimberly on a weekday schedule at 10am – 2-4pm central time.

PocketClint

Dropped into Clint’s Twitch channel at twitch.tv/pocketclint after being tweeted twice by different people. Upon entering we were greeted warmly and Clint himself was very quick to praise XSplit.

A variety streamer who also likes to play new games, but would rather wait to play/stream those until a few days after they’ve been released. Also looks to play certain games that go on sale so it can help people decide whether to buy them, or not.

You can find Clint live at these times: Monday – Friday: 11AM CST

RiptidePow

We stopped by RipTides stream at twitch.tv/riptidepow after being tweeted by his wife. He was playing Elite Dangerous was using XSplit Broadcaster to live stream.

A Twitch partnered streamer that streams games across PS3, PS4, PC and some old school, retro games, truly a variety streamer. He streams Monday – Friday 9AM- 5PM Eastern and 9AM – 3PM eastern on Saturdays.

Riptide also has one of the best Mario themed scenes we have ever seen, so be sure to go and check him out, even if just for that. 😉

Griff439

We met Griff at EGX when he met our community manager and grabbed a trial of XSplit and has used it ever since. We responded to Griffs Tweet and decided to check it out as he was streaming the brand new Fallout 4 at twitch.tv/griff439 on the game’s release day.

Griff has committed himself to two days a week of live streaming because of the time constraints with some other streams when possible throughout the week.

His schedule is Monday 7pm-10pm and Friday 7pm-Late

What about you?

Are you also live streaming consistently and would love to get a shout-out from us or get featured in this blog post? Tell us either here or via Twitter when we begin our announcement of the daily rounds.

Make sure to also check out these loyal XSplit users and live streamers, and perhaps there is something that you can learn from watching them. 🙂

Till next time!

Last year was our first time attending DreamHack Winter co-exhibiting with MSI. It was a wonderful experience for us as we had fun interacting and also learned a lot. That being said, it was easy for us to decide that we want to go again this year.

Just like last year, we will be co-exhibiting with MSI Nordic and will share a booth space (B01:08) with them. There will be a lot of CS:GO gaming action with pro-players and attendees for the event so if you’re going to be in attendance, drop by the booth and see how you fare with other gamers!

All these actions will be livestreamed using XSplit V2 to Azubu over at Azubu.tv/MSIGaming. We will be producing this live stream and as usual, ensure that the quality is top-notch. You can watch the live action at home for the entire duration of the event.

Aside from live streaming CS:GO, we will also be demonstrating XSplit Gamecaster V2 on all of the MSI gaming machines as well as  showcase the newest features that gamers and livestreamers alike can use to their advantage. Just like any expos that we’ve attended, expect fun activities and giveaways not just from us but also from MSI. This goes not just to those who will be at the event but also to those following us social media for updates. 🙂

See you there!

We first collaborated with Humble Bundle early this year when we became a part of their “Humble Awesome Games Done Quick Bundle” giving an XSplit Premium license as part of the bundle. Humble Bundle, just like us, are also supporting this year’s Extra Life so when they approached us and asked if we could do the same again for them, it was a no-brainer for us.

Humble Bundle will be running a flash bundle sale from November 4 – 10 2015 and a 1-month XSplit Premium license will become part of an awesome bundle that you can get for a ridiculously good deal. The bundle itself is a collection of digital goods such as games, software, etc. You can check out their Extra Life flash bundle here: https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly/extralife

All sales generated by Humble Bundle during this flash sale will be donated to Extra Life. This means you’re not only able to take advantage of the flash sale itself but you also get to help children’s hospital at the same time through the donations to Extra Life made possible by your purchase of their bundles!

Visit HumbleBundle.com to learn more details about the sale.

We announced recently that we will be once again supporting this year’s Extra-Life by providing qualified participants a 3-month XSplit Premium license for FREE. We want to spice that up even more so we’re very thrilled to announce that we are running TeeSpring campaign to complement what we already offered.

We received exceptional feedback for our T-shirts specifically how creative the designs are since we introduced them to the public and started bringing them to events and conventions. Since then people have asked us incessantly if we are planning to sell them at some point in time.

Thanks to the awesome TeeSpring platform, we can now sell limited quantities of the T-shirts without having to worry at all about printing and shipping. But the best part of this is all money that we earn for T-shirt sales goes directly to Extra Life as a donation. This means every purchase of a shirt is for a good cause!

So if you’re one of those looking to avail yourself an XSplit T-shirt before, then you can do it now and be able to help Extra Life in the process as well. Go to xspl.it/shirt to get the T-shirts!

Australia is the first international region to have PAX events outside of the United States. The Australian PAX team have done an exceptional work to make its scene grow, and this year will be the 3rd annual PAX Aus event to date.

We’ve been quite active attending several international events including PAX East, PAX Prime in the U.S. and as well as a few events that were held across U.K. and other regions in Europe.

We will not be having a booth or co-exhibiting with other companies at PAX Aus, but we’re happy to announce that our Community Manager Kevin “@BurnoutFighter” Kim will be at the venue, checking out some of the great Australian gaming industry leaders and the community of online content creators.

Kevin will be wearing the ever so cool XSplit T-shirt, and if you can spot him on the floor during the event weekend, take a photo with him then upload it to Twitter or Instagram tagging @XSplit, @BurnoutFighter and @PAXAus then you can win an XSplit Premium license code from him!

Also on Sunday, 12:30pm AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time), popular YouTube content creator Dan aka “Silentc0re” will be at the ‘Being a Gaming YouTuber in Australia’ panel in the ‘Main Theatre’ of the PAX Aus venue.

Silentc0re has been to many international gaming conventions and have been active as our brand ambassador for XSplit and is willing to share his tips on creating YouTube content with the use of the XSplit software. If you are a fan of Silentc0re’s YouTube channel, or would just like to improve on your content creation skills, feel free to ask any questions regarding the XSplit features that he utilizes in creating his content.

See you there! 🙂

The Esports and Gaming Summit aka ESGS, is the Philippines’ own combination of PAX and Dreamhack. In it’s second year, it continues to grow the gaming community in the Philippines by hosting a variety of Esports competitions, showcasing the local indie development community, and even attracting a lot of awesome cosplay talent. ESGS 2015 is happening this October 24th-25th at the SMX convention in Metro Manila, but if you don’t happen to be in town, then no worries as XSplit is the official live streaming software of ESGS 2015!

Check out the trailer below for ESGS.

XSplit V2 will be powering the main stage at ESGS, where you can catch the hottest competitions in League of Legends and DOTA 2. If you’re a fighting game fan, the XSplit media production team will be producing the Brawlfest stream featuring a wide variety of fighting games like Ultra Street Fighter IV and Tekken Tag Tournament 2. You can tune into the action live on our Twitch channel at twitch.tv/xsplit.

See you there!

As we enter the final quarter of the year, we are not done yet attending and having presence at events, and for this month we will be flying to France to co-exhibit with MSI at Paris Games Week beginning October 28 2015.

Our very own PR & Marketing boss @johnhmarshall will be attending the  trade fair to help MSI at their booth while demoing XSplit Gamecaster to the general public. As most of you know by now, XSplit Gamecaster is bundled in some MSI products which is why it just makes sense for us to showcase its features.

Aside from demonstration of the application and its features, please also expect a lot of activities in the event with some exciting prizes to be given away. We will occasionally send out updates through our Twitter and Facebook for those who will not be in the event but are interested in getting updates from us.

See you there!
