I am excited to announce a new twist to the DTBL All-Star Game.\u00a0 For the first time since the days when we used to all gather at someone’s house for the All-Star Game, you will be able to follow the action live with your own eyes and ears.\u00a0 There will be a live video stream of the game available on a LiveStream channel I created a few days ago.\u00a0 I downloaded software from LiveStream which allows me to stream my PC desktop to this channel.\u00a0 So you will be able to see what is going on within my Out of the Park baseball sim game as I play it out on my computer.<\/p>\n

I did some preliminary testing of this and I was pretty happy with it.\u00a0 If you are expecting a professional, HD broadcast, you are in for a a disappointment though.\u00a0 The video feed is a little blurry, and the only way I was able to read the game’s play-by-play was by putting the video into full screen mode.\u00a0 But you should be able to get the gist of what is going on even in standard mode, particularly since I will be providing my own play-by-play which will accompany the video.\u00a0 At the very least, you should get to enjoy me making a fool out of myself.\u00a0 I’ve set a pretty high bar for myself in the past, but this has strong potential to be the nerdiest thing I’ve ever done.<\/p>\n

The actual date and time of the 18th annual DTBL All-Star Game is still TBD.\u00a0 Dave and Nick will be managing their respective divisions, so I will have to check with them to find out their availability.\u00a0 They will be able to communicate their in-game managerial decisions to me using the chatroom that is part of the LiveStream channel.\u00a0 I invite the rest of you to join in on the conversation as well.\u00a0 It should be interesting and mildly entertaining.\u00a0 Even if you aren’t able to join us live, the video will be available on-demand on the LS channel following the game.<\/p>\n

There will be a lot more to come soon about the All-Star Game, including the rosters, lineups and a link to the actual video channel.\u00a0 The All-Star rosters may be announced as early as Monday.\u00a0 In the meantime, have a great Independence Day weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
