Twitch.TV
Now with more Tangents.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
I've been a long time fan of Twitch TV streams so I look forward to seeing our Streams there!
However, I don't know if you're aware , but there's currently an issue of sorts wherein, users cannot see / interact on a Stream's chat channel, logged in or not. Apparently has to do with Twitch TV changing stuff on the backend.
In the event that this issues persists into the time for our Stream, I hope you've got Ustream as a backup.
Here's hopin'.
Pinnacle & Virtue:
A bunch of Heroes - Alpha Team, Legion of Order.
A bunch of Villains -Black Citadel , Pinnache.
Eh.

And good thing I have a direct link to Paragon Studios' page, as the "following" doesn't seem to want to work.
Edit:

Having issues with the Twitch.tv app. Can't find the Paragon Studios Channel. Seems like it has a list of 24 Games (even Runecraft) but no Paragon Studios, No City of Heroes, No COH, COH Freedom, Freedom or any amalgam thereof.
Maybe it's just me. Anyone else?
Not just you. Though it can -find- City of Heroes, it just doesn't show any -channels- for City of Heroes.
*edit* I'm talking about the website, not through an mobile device app.

I'm assuming the switch is down to Twitch being able to handle live in-game streaming better than UStream?

Assuming I wake up in time, I'm looking forward to this experiment. I'd like to be able to watch Coffee Talk on my tablet while playing CoH on the PC, and Ustream's Android app stuttered to the point of being unwatchable, even on a quad-core tablet. That being said: I can't find the paragonstudios channel on the Android client, it only shows up in my browser. Is this because it's not currently streaming? I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Ditto. Although in my case, it's cause I'd like to watch at work.

Thanks but PANCAKE that noise.
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

I just went to the page and tried the chat and it seemed to work. I just registered with the twitch website, no facebook required.

I didn't have to login through Facebook to be able to chat, I just logged in to the Twitch site.
Free sign up. No personal details needed except an email address for verification. Surely you have a throwaway email address you can use for things like this.
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.
Black Pebble is my new hero.
I had no problems following.
A search gave me zilch.
Signup using my phone was a horrendous pain in the boot. Fields were hidden behind the video feed, and on the Twitch home page I kept jumping to the far left corner of the screen. I *did* somehow manage with many shenanigans. If this proves as much a pain as Ustream, though, I won't be watching from my phone while at work.
Which makes me sad. I had to stop Ustream because it stopped working for me.

That's like saying I have an "aversion" to stamp collecting, or tennis. I just don't give a crap about it.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

Well, after 15 minutes and 3 times getting a BSoD watching TwitchTV, I'm completely unimpressed. I don't get BSoDs on anything else, including UStream (or YouTube), so whatever they are doing is annoying my machine in an unique way.|

Have fun, I'm not going to watch.

My other favorite part is the random guy named Raynin who just showed up in the middle of the presentation and pretty much asked who Zwill and HB were, what they were doing, what game this was for, what was a new powerset...
...and then said, "But what about Bio Armor?"

Cons:
No scrolling on chat
No Snow_Globe
DL'd the app for Android but did not use it. It has no chat and can only search for things currently streaming.
The Q was replaced with SMSkull. Typing that on a virtual keyboard is a pain. :P
Pros:
I had video, instead of Usteam's random, sporadic slide show. Still hung up, but I kept up better with Twitch.
Zwill could take us in-game to show stuffs
I had -video-
No ads booting!
I had *video*
Zwill pronounced my name correctly 
I. Had. VIDEO!
