The Life of Wighar Stamfaste

Recently I have begun to live broadcast and record my game sessions so I can upload them to my Livestream account I got thru Xfire.

Although the videos are not in the best quality it is sufficient enough for the time being and I am not doing anything I would consider professional so quality isn’t on my mind.

Due to limitations of the Xfire application I cant broadcast from some games, that is if I do not adapt the Xfire settings file to allow me to do so if it is possible, else I have to fraps the video and put it together in Windows Movie Maker so it fits within the 1GB source video limitation of the upload capacity to my Livestream account.

The videos are then recoded by Livestreams server so that it works optimally with the websites video player and other services provided by Livestream.

My account type at Livestream is limited to a storage of 10GB I will make backups of videos that are a couple of months old, my intention with the videos is to give potential future players or current players a chance to see the game and as well see how I approach obstacles or what tactics I use in a certain situation that may help them or provide a view to base own tactics for that game.

My Livestream channel you can visit by this link: http://www.livestream.com/xfire_wighar or use the “Live” button at menu bar at the bottom of this webpage.

The warm weather and the limited access to cooling down as my room temperature with the ceiling fan on and window wide open is roughly 25~26c at night and about 28~29c in the day.

My economy can’t handle the purchase of any cooler apparatus at this moment in time but maybe for next year, so I will have to stand the heat this summer.

I twitter as many already have guessed and I am fairly active on it now and then, among those I follow on twitter is VampyBitme a cool & beautiful girl that is a cosplayer, model/stylist and plays video games .

I find her interesting cause I see her as a fun person by her twitter messages and her responses to my own twitters to her, and she has a passion for what she does that I admire to see in people, If I had the possibility I would someday in the future like to go to visit her just to be able to meet this friendly vampire, you can visit her blog at http://blog.vampbeauty.com/

That will have to be all for now, not sure when I will be able to write another post but I hope it wont take to long, have fun and thank you for reading.

A heavy cold

This years winter was heavy compared to how it has been the last 10 or so years, and I have indeed missed the chill of a real winter season, an oddity though is that I have been struck with a heavy cold this year and its a first for a very long time, last time I had one this bad was when I was like 15-16 years old.
During a cold I will often blend about 1L of hot water with a flavor enhancer or normal household orange juice that upon consumption will increase my inner-body temperature to battle the cold from within, Warm Chicken Soup or indeed most soups for example will do your body good during a cold as it keeps the body hot.

The Games of old

Looking around in my game collection I found my Sid Meier’s Pirates! box, all CDs still in superb condition, so having a bit of nostalgia I installed the game and began to play, to my surprise however the game seemed to have constant loading pauses during play, like it was loading things every 0,3~0,5 seconds thus making the game visually lag, not sure if its my graphics card, anti virus or anything else that makes this behavior, I started to check what I could possibly turn off to make it run smooth as it should, tried all compatible modes and there was no difference at all.

I tried turning off all antivirus and internet security software and apps, I unplugged my computer from the network prior to turning everything off of course.
This did nada as well, So I am currently stuck with a superb game with a constant graphical lag like state… oh well, guess I’ll find a solution for it later.

Dedication and Explaination

Onward to the world of Online Gaming, as many of you may have seen and read in my posts earlier that I started to run a site for Dedicated Game Servers, which are paid for by public donations and the ad revenue from the Google Adsense program that I have on my blog and the community forum here at stamfaste.se

I did get a few question about “what stamfaste.se is?”, questions like “Is Stamfaste.se a Company Name?”, “How many owners does Stamfaste.se have?” and “Is Stamfaste.se for sale”…
Well first of Stamfaste.se is simply a Website I created and is owned by me, and is used as a project platform for various web based projects by me and my friends, I do not see Stamfaste.se as a company or anything like that, mostly cause I have no idea how to run a company and besides I don’t ask for anything in return for usage of the site, as I explained in earlier posts and such all money that comes in to Stamfaste.se in donation or ad revenue are used for Stamfaste.se server payments and such.

A question I got from a friend was “Have you thought of joining a Affiliate program?”, I have indeed thought about it, though I am not sure I understand them enough to consider them, mostly it’s cause I can’t be bothered to read thru several pages of license / ToS documents with a dictionary to join one, and in most cases you need to join the program to get to see what you actual get to utilize or what is required of you…

The Community and Association

Wish I had so much to write that I could type a post every week instead of whenever I get a feel to do so, but that is how it is, other than Stamfaste.se I am also an administrator for Thesecondsun.org as Head Community Manager, thus I take care of the forums and most community management requirements that the community may need or want.

Though lately I haven’t done much as I am backing of my role to basic management control keeping the forum up and as of late fixing so that the forum is a part of the community rather then the base of the community.

The community being a MMORPG player Association means we have guilds in multiple MMO’s trying to keep a stable and friendly community between the games, as of recently I was given the guild leadership of the World of Warcraft Guild “Children of Twilight” by the Game Master as our leader had been offline for a extended period of time and It was noticed that my bank alt that was in the guild still had the most activity in the guild, I hope that I can restore parts of the guild with a council command structure where my character has a central role but I put the overall command to the council.

I don’t have much else on my mind right now but I hope to make a longer post next time, so see you all then and please do visit my webshop Stamfaste.se Webshop
