Galaxian World Record attempt by Aart van Vliet @ Eurocade 2012

(1/4) > >>

level42:
As you guys probably know by now, Aart van Vliet is going to try to break his own World Record on Galaxian during Eurocade 2012 ( more info: http://eurocade.eu/Eurocade/Galaxian_World_Record.html )


We will be streaming this event on Ustream so that everyone around the world will be able to follow it !

Here is the link for the channel:

http://ustre.am/NM3d

Ustream has free apps for iOS and Android and of course you can watch from PC and Mac via the browser too.

The "bad" thing is that there is no fixed Internet connection at the location so we will have to use a 3G connection that is specced to 1 Mbps upload speed (probably a theoratical speed), but we will have to do with it).

Coming Sunday August 26 we will be testing the entire World Record set up including cabinet, UPS, cameras etc. and also the streaming. Aart will be there too for some practice games and to see if everything is set up properly and nicely for him

We will be using a UPS (Uninterruptable Power Source) during this record try because we want to make as sure as we can that we have no spikes or glitches or even power-out (pretty rare here) to kill the try. Of course the battery capacity is limited, but we figured it would be a smart idea.

You are invited to watch the test broadcasts next Sunday and report your viewing experiences.
Times are not entirely fixed and remember local time is GMT+1

WOW...Good luck for that!!  :)

Gonna try something here....this is basically intended for the guys who (unexplainably) are not at Eurocade 2012 but DO want to see Aart's WR try:

Ustream puts ads in the video when broadcasting from a free account.

A basic account that will prevent you guys from seeing ads would cost $99

If enough of you guys chip in a couple of bucks we can do this broadcast ad-free.

The Eurocade team puts 10 bucks in the pot to start with, so only 80 to go.

Go to the donations page here:  http://www.eurocade.eu/Eurocade/Donations.html

and click on the Donation button to donate a buck or two....if everyone who wants to watch it does, it'll be without the nasty ads !!

atarimania:
... 75 to go  ;)

Q*ris:
70 to go!
Wait: it says that everything goes to the Level42 memorabilia preservation society, is it normal?
