Plenty of ink has been spilled covering the competition between TV programming and video games for the attention of today’s audience.  But according to a range of research reports compiled by gaming and esports media company Subnation, those lines are beginning to blur… to the potential benefit of connected TV devices and platforms.  Subnation recently co-published a map of the “Gaming Omniverse” with media pundit and professor, Evan Shapiro. (You can see Shapiro’s map of the Connected TV Ecosystem, exclusively on TVEV, here.) The company has since expanded that map of the gaming world with a compilation of compelling research illustrating how gaming-related content could be the next frontier for forward-looking TV programmers.  The takeaway from this presentation, which Subnation shared with TVEV, is that gamers don’t just play video games, they consume gaming content in notable volumes.  Yes, gamers are defined by playing games, to the tune of 8 hours and 27 minutes a week, according to a survey by Limelight Networks. But that same study showed that gamers on average (across all age groups) spend an additional 3 hours a week watching other people play video games, and nearly as much time watching esports tournaments.  That’s on par…

CNN —   As someone who reviews tech gadgets for a living and streams on Twitch on the side, my PC setup has been inundated with roughly a dozen different webcams over the last few years. And after rigorously testing everything from no-frills budget cameras to high-end shooters made for serious YouTubers, I’ve yet to find one that offers better quality for the money than the universally beloved $69 Logitech C920. It really is that good. Despite some strong competition, the C920 has remained our overall best webcam pick thanks to its ability to capture true-to-life video and offer a nifty companion app, all for a relatively low price. After using various versions of Logitech’s camera during countless video meetings, YouTube recordings and Twitch streams — and testing out every notable competitor — I’m convinced that it’s still the webcam that most people should buy. The Logitech C920 emerged at the top of our rankings after weeks of in-depth webcam testing (which consisted of me taking lots of pictures and videos of myself) by producing the best-looking shots of any camera in its price range. When sitting in front of natural light, Logitech’s camera captured sharp 1080p photos and videos…

If you’ve recently dipped your toes into the world of Twitch streaming, you’ve no doubt come across peripherals like the Elgato Stream Deck. The Stream Deck is an excellent tool for controlling OBS scenes, posting to Twitter, or even managing Twitch chat. The only problem is that it's an expensive upgrade if you're on a budget. But what if you could have your own controller for a fraction of the price? Good news: you can! Today, you're going to learn how to build a Stream Deck-style macro pad without burning a hole in your wallet. What is a Macro Pad? A macro pad is a series of buttons that allow you to trigger specific actions. Copy/paste is an excellent example of this type of function. If you press CTRL + C on your keyboard, this activates the copy shortcut and copies whatever you’ve highlighted to the clipboard. Now, what if you could copy with only a single keypress? What if you could trigger other actions, such as starting and stopping your Twitch stream? A macro pad lets you do that. What most people don’t know, however, is that these keypads are surprisingly easy to build, and the inexpensive Raspberry Pi Pico is the…

However, many also had bad credit, little to no credit history or revenue that changed monthly and would come from different sources. This made it hard for them to qualify for a credit card or for lines of credit from traditional banks or card issuers."The whole reason we exist is we see this entire new class of businesses found a way to make a living from content online just get treated really poorly by banks.

UPDATE: Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus has updated fans on his cancer prognosis via a Twitch discussion. Hoppus told his fans intimate details during the Twitch livestream, which has been reposted to a Blink 182 fan account on YouTube. “My classification is diffuse large B-cell lymphoma Stage 4-A, which means, as I understand it, it’s entered four different parts of my body,” Hoppus said. “I don’t know how exactly they determine the four-part of it,” he added, “but it’s entered enough parts of my body that I’m Stage 4, which I think is the highest that it goes. So, I’m Stage 4-A.” Talking about an upcoming doctor visit,  “Ideally, I go in tomorrow and they say, ‘Congratulations, your chemotherapy has worked and you’re all done and you’ll never have to think about this cancer again for the rest of your life,’” Hoppus said.

It’s not common for corporate social media accounts to jump into internet feuds, but these accounts are run by ordinary people and from time to time, they step out of their PR comfort zones to respond. That’s exactly what Xbox’s social media team did on Twitter, which not only attracted some fun responses, but also earned praise from the wider gaming community and industry professionals alike.“To the people in our replies saying ‘PS5 is better,’: The best console is the one you enjoy playing. Have fun!” reads a tweet from the official Xbox account. “I think we can all take solace in the words that Dominic Toretto imparted upon us last week and remember that people who love video games are just one big family. And you know what they say about family…”Here are a few of my favorite responses:Ok hear us out.
