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.

Here’s Johnny – Friday Special from Snappy Dogs

The heres johnny
Photo-A-Day #4538

It has been a tough week. Allison’s grandfather passed away earlier in the week and today was the wake. It was up in Fitchburg at night and so I had to take a night off of work. The funeral will be tomorrow first thing in the morning in Leominster and so Allison’s parent’s got us a hotel room up that way.

On the way up to the hotel we went by one of our favorite hot dog places, Snappy Dogs and so we stopped for lunch. Today they were having a Friday special called the Here’s Johnny. The photo for today is one of Allison’s hot dog. She got the full special. I opted not to have the apple, pear and cranberry chutney on mine. Allison loved it that way, though. The ladies at Snappy Dogs do know how to make amazing gourmet hot dogs. The dog also had chunks of sharp white cheddar cheese, thick cut smoked bacon from The Butcher on Ash (Arena’s) and Caramelized onions. That is the way that I had mine and it was fantastic! We needed a little distraction before the next couple of days.

With the Snappy Dogs Ladies

Of course we had to make sure that we got a photo with the wonderful ladies at the trailer.
