Giving this LiveStream Thing a Shot

My LiveStream Setup
Photo-A-Day #4544

Today I decided to try out some Live Streaming. I have a lot to learn to make this a much better experience for anyone watching. I a using a software called OBS. This can do a lot of things and I got it set up so that I can play video games as well as change camera sizes. I may even grab a small HD webcam to have an additional camera angle to use when showing toys. I’ve also got to make sure that if I am doing any video game livestreaming to turn off the music from the games. I immediately got a copyright ding from Nintendo for the music from ARMS.

In my livestream I unboxed my latest Smugglers’s Bounty box. This box was themed Jedi and it contained items for Jedi like Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jin, Aayla Secura, Plo Koon and Yoda. There were good items in the box although I would have liked it if they included the paper inside that details how they decided on the characters and what it took to come up with the character designs for the Funko figures.

As far as Funko figures go I found some little figures for the movie Thor Ragnarok. They are actually keychains but I take the keychain part off to have small figures. I’ll be taking them with me to LA next month for the Thor Ragnarok Press trip that I am attending. I’ve got to write up a post all about it, too.

During the livestream I also played some Legend of Zelda and show a cool little robot that we got for review. So, take a look and I promise I will figure out the whole sound thing for the extra videos and video games.

Beat Bugs Teaches Good Values Through Great Music

In addition to being a Netflix Stream Team Member I am also a Beat Bugs Dream Team Member. As such I receive compensation and products for my posts about the show Beat Bugs. However, the opinions expressed are 100% my own. I’ll be writing often about this fun show.

Beat Bugs is a show on Netflix for pre-school age children that teaches life values through the songs of The Beatles. It is really cool how they interpret the songs to go along with the world of Beat Bugs. Just today we watched the one on The Yellow Submarine and how they created that scenario. It was done so well and I loved the look of the “submarine”. While the show looks really amazing it is the music and the musicians that make the show so special. So many amazing performers have provided their voices and talents to the Beatles’ songs. Musicians like Eddie Vedder, The Lumineers, Pink and Rod Stewart to name a few.
