Hello guys, I've been watching AGDQ/SGDQ for a while now and I've decided that I'd like to give speedrunning a shot. I'm not that guy that's going to beat any world records, but i figured it'd be fun :). I only have a Wii U so I'm a little limited on my choice of games. I'm going to be playing Link To The Past for a bit to see how it feels.
Right now I don't have a capture card and don't really know of another way to stream, but I'll work on it!
Hi Stix!
Glad your interest is around, and welcome!
Many people don't go for a records- they go because they love speedrunning and love the games they run. So long as you do that, you'll have a wonderful time. If you have a wonderful time running your game, your times will improve and one day you may get that WR time.
If you don't - WHO CARES, you are doing something you enjoy! 95% of the people are here for fun - not records, not money, just fun.
If you have a webcam, you could point that at the TV and just stream through that if you really wanted. Sure, it's by no means great, but it's something. As for a capture card, have a look at AverMedia, Elgato or BlackMagic capture cards. There are plenty of other options beyond these, but these are some of the bigger guys for a reasonable budget range.
