![]() ![]() Otherwise, the picture may be too pixelated. Here are a few general suggestions for the most popular resolutions and framerates: ResolutionĪlso, there are many handy resources that can help you with calculating the video Bitrate for your streams.īear in mind - You should raise the bitrate if you're streaming real-life footage from the streets, video games with lots of small details (grass, trees, rocks), or any other content with a bunch of colors and moving objects. Starting from your upload speed and ending with the type of content you stream - when it comes to the bitrate, you should consider every aspect of your stream. Some commonly used resolutions (represented as Width x Height in pixels):Ĭhoosing the correct video bitrate for your streams might be a very complicated task. You should set up both of them in a way your network and PC can handle flawless streaming without FPS drops. ![]() On the other hand, the output resolution is the one that is broadcasted to Twitch - basically, it's the resolution that your viewers will see. To have a nice quality of your Base resolution, it's usually better to choose your screen resolution. What's the difference between those two? The first one is the original resolution of your stream or recording. ![]() OBS Studio has two types of resolution - Base resolution and Output resolution. ![]() If you're a Twitch Partner, you can always go higher without fear that your viewers will have problems with your stream because they can choose the video quality directly in the video player. The best option is to stream in 1920x1080 or 1280x720 to keep the picture quality of your broadcasts relatively decent while taking less bandwidth. Now that you know this, we can move into details about the necessary elements of your OBS setup for streaming. So there's no particular need to go beyond those numbers with your stream. Twitch Network Limitations - Twitch has a network bandwidth of 6000 KBps (6 MBps) for video and 320 KBps for audio. Type Of Content - Having multiple colorful and moving objects might lead to high pixelization of your broadcasts. So, while setting up your stream, it's better to have a reasonable balance for quality, otherwise, your viewers will struggle with lags. This is because as a regular streamer, you will only receive access to the transcoding options if it's available on the Twitch server side. Twitch Transcoding Options - Before you become a Twitch Partner, your viewers most likely won't see transcoding options on your streams. Your Computer - Although a modern CPU can be a dealbreaker for OBS, it's better to have an Nvidia GPU (GTX 10XX series and later) and 8 GB+ of ram to achieve the best balance between quality and performance. That way, you will have some room for lag-free gaming and more. Our recommendation is to have an 8 MBps upload speed and more, if possible. It's enough to run a decent-quality 720p broadcast. Internet Upload Speed - Usually, the bare minimum recommended for streaming is around 3-6 MBps (megabytes per second). So let's break them down one by one before we dive into specific OBS Studio settings. The quality of your stream relies heavily on multiple limitations and factors that you have to consider. We will cover all important things to consider for the proper settings of bitrate, resolution, and encoders for you! Best OBS Studio Settings for Streaming This guide will help you find everything you need to start streaming and recording video with the best possible quality. But its settings might confuse even experienced streamers. OBS Studio is obviously a number 1 choice when it comes to streaming and recording your screen - it's completely free, relatively easy to use, and can be configured deeply. ![]() ![]() ![]() Similarly, completing the bug collection provides you with a coin reward that is another useless drop in the bucket.

Hip hop music follows in the footsteps of earlier African-American-rooted and Latino musical genres such as blues, jazz, rag-time, funk, salsa, and disco to become one of the most practiced genres worldwide. Sampling older culture and reusing it in a new context or a new format is called "flipping" in hip hop culture. Hip hop is simultaneously a new and old phenomenon the importance of sampling tracks, beats, and basslines from old records to the art form means that much of the culture has revolved around the idea of updating classic recordings, attitudes, and experiences for modern audiences. Even as the movement continues to expand globally and explore myriad styles and art forms, including hip hop theater and hip hop film, the four foundational elements provide coherence and a strong foundation for hip hop culture. These elements were adapted and developed considerably, particularly as the art forms spread to new continents and merged with local styles in the 1990s and subsequent decades. Hip hop culture has spread to both urban and suburban communities throughout the United States and subsequently the world. The Bronx hip hop scene emerged in August 1973 when brother–sister duo DJ Kool Herc and Cindy Campbell hosted the first hip hop party in the Bronx, sparking the rise of the genre. Some of these are argued to be the “fifth element”. Other elements include historical knowledge of the movement, beatboxing, street entrepreneurship, hip hop language, and hip hop fashion. Hip hop culture is characterized by four key elements: rapping, DJing and turntablism, breakdancing, and graffiti. Hip Hop is one of cultural movements that has been shaped and dominated by African American males though female hip hop artists have contributed to the art form and culture as well. Hip hop or hip-hop is a culture and art movement that was created by African Americans pioneered from Black American street culture, also known as hip hop African American culture, that had been around for years prior to its more mainstream discovery while later reaching other groups such as Latino Americans and Caribbean Americans, starting in the Bronx, New York City. ![]() Pictured are DJ Hypnotize (left) and Baby Cee (right).

League of Legends exists in a magical place that lies somewhere between intense competition and fun and enjoyable strategy. Thanks to attention to detail, atmospheric music, powerfully written morally ambiguous quests, and voice-acted interactions with key characters, the world feels personal and vivid even though we view it from a distant third-person camera. Exploring a vast post-apocalyptic world full of deadly raiders, supermutants, and deathclaws is daunting but exciting. ![]() Starting the journey of Fallout 2 as a tribesman with nothing more than a loincloth and a spear to my name and gradually fighting my way up to a power-armored, gauss-gunning killing machine is a fantastic and surprisingly natural feeling of progression – one that few games have been able to match. However, few things could ruin a friendship faster than wrecking someone's ride just before the finish line – though thankfully all was (usually) forgotten during the next round of Crash Mode. This was one of those games you could easily lose hours playing, either alone or with friends. Its predecessor, Point of Impact, had fine-tuned the balance of high-speed racing and vehicular destruction, but Takedown perfected it. Burnout 3: Takedownīurnout 3: Takedown is an undeniable classic. Regardless, the story, jokes, and pacing were all tightened up for the second chapter, making it arguably the best of LucasArts adventure games. Somehow, creator Ron Gilbert threw everyone for a loop, ending Monkey Island 2 in a carnival, leaving us to wonder if everything we'd played in the first two games took place in a boy's imagination, or if the ending itself was simply another LeChuck voodoo spell. When Monkey Island 2 came out, we knew who Guybrush Threepwood was, so we knew what to expect. Its naval combat and oceanic exploration offered boundless fun, and there still hasn't been a historical guest star that rivaled the likes of Blackbeard or Mary Read. AC4 is an exceptional blend of both the massive open-world exploration and the stealth-focused mission structure that gave the series its roots. There are plenty of entries in the Assassin's Creed franchise that could find their way onto a Top 100 list, but for our dubloons, Black Flag was as much fun as we’ve had in the franchise. It's this combination of light and dark that makes Final Fantasy VII such an enduring classic. While overall the story is heavy, the world thrives on its idiosyncrasies - a variety of bizarre enemies, comedic minigames, and absurdly sized swords. The pacing of its continually timely tale is its masterstroke Square allows you to slowly fall for its rag-tag bunch of eco-terrorists before introducing its main villain - the forever chilling Sephiroth - and then focusing the story on much more personal stakes, despite the looming apocalypse. Yet, its age has done nothing to change its status as the series' most popular and beloved entry, which has come about thanks to its wide cast of detailed, emotionally-driven characters that journey through one of the most memorable worlds to emerge from Japan's development scene. Final Fantasy VIIįinal Fantasy VII is a landmark JRPG for a variety of reasons, but many of its achievements have now been lost to the winds of time and technological progress.

I’ve since recommended it to all of my real-life D&D parties, and they’ve all come back with the same opinion: This is the best D&D experience you can get from a video game. When I was famished for Dungeons and Dragons, Divinity: Original Sin 2 filled that void for me.

Wrestling moves usually kill opponents but those that survive the attack will remain stunned on the ground. To nail the wrestling move, players must swing both the Wiimote and the Nunchuk in the direction indicated onscreen. Once stunned, Travis can execute a deadly wrestling move to finish off his enemies. If the kick button is held and charged, Travis' attack will stun the opponent. Players can also use the B button to mix up combos and send a kick at opponents. Travis can kick opponents to stun them, leaving them open to powerful wrestling moves. The time given is indicated by a tiger in the upper-right side of the screen. When initiated, the player only has a limited amount of time to use the power. Powers include the slowing of time and a giant explosion at the press of a button. There are five different types of the Dark Side mode a player can get. If the slots match up, Travis goes into his Dark Side mode. Presses of the A button will create combo attacks that almost always lead to the motion-controlled finishing blows.Īfter each kill in Death Blow mode, slots in the corner of the screen start to move. Killing enemies earns the player money (as well as the joy of seeing opponents spurt gallons of blood, only to then explode in a final orgy of violence). Nailing this final swing (not a difficult task, as the game provides players with a good bit of time to nail the attack) will cause Travis to dominate his opponent, usually resulting in decapitation, dismemberment, or worse. Waggle and shake control is instead relegated to a "finishing move", called Death Blow mode, which is necessary to defeat each enemy. Instead, No More Heroes maps the katana slash to the A button and a kick attack to the B trigger. Unlike other action games on the Nintendo Wii, No More Heroes doesn't make the player waggle and shake the remote to attack. Players will wield the beam katana and take the blade to hundreds of minions, using anything they can get their hands on (from baseball bats to stop signs) to try and fend of Travis and his relentless assaults. No More Heroes is primarily a standard hack-and-slash action game. Gameplay Players use the A button to make Travis swing his sword, but deliver the final blow with a motion sensing quick time event. Published by Ubisoft in the United States, No More Heroes is also the most violent game released in 2008 and one of the most violent titles on the Wii. For everyone else, don’t hesitate to skip right to the far superior Wii-exclusive sequel.No More Heroes is a cel-shaded hack-and-slash action adventure title for the Nintendo Wii, created and directed by Goichi Suda ( k iller7, Clock Tower and Fire Pro Wrestling) and Grasshopper Manufacture. If you don’t own a Wii or want to start from the beginning, this HD upgrade of the original No More Heroes is a solid but flawed brawler that introduces you to the goofy plight of Travis Touchdown. Despite taking place in a boring dream arena, these encounters are a lot of fun, but they only served to remind me how much more I liked the sequel. ![]() No More Heroes’ simple beat-em-up gameplay doesn’t benefit from the improved precision that the Move controller offers over the Wii remote, but I highly recommend sticking to that option if you play the game.Ī handful of new boss battles borrowed from No More Heroes 2 make up the only other major addition to Heroes’ Paradise. This was a wise decision, as the setup for the regular PS3 controller is bafflingly complicated and imprecise. New publisher Konami has upgraded Heroes’ Paradise from its original Japanese release by adding in Move controls. A handful of new job types and assassin missions have been added, which eases the pain a little, but I still reached a point near the end where the effort to get enough money stopped matching the payoff.
