I had planned to join for a bit at least, but the 5 am start time (JST) defeated me. I will take on the challenge again next week!

Ok, first off, sorry for the blips over the past 2 weeks. I know they were supposed to be (arguably) the best episodes that we will have done so far, covering Fangmeis Birthday, and of course the duck racing. Unfortunately, my ISP here had other plans, and despite thinking i was on the best (and most expensive!) package, it turns out not necessarily so. I currently get 70mb download speeds, and 5mb upload speeds. Thats more than adequate for me, however the problem has arisen when we moved the start times, and 9pm is still within the "peak time" threshold. Its because of this, that the screen started juttering after the 1 hour mark, with OBS dropping frames like crazy, and the reason for this is because my ISP only allow up to a 2gig upload threshold per hour. They do have valid reasons for this, in particular to prevent P2P sharing and other illegal activity, but the issue is what about the rapidly rising amount of uploaders to the likes of Twitch and Youtube etc. who are doing perfectly legal activities.
So my ISP also have a 200 "gamer" package where they have promised me no traffic management restrictions or thresholds. Its a little bit more extra a month (of course it is) so ive went ahead and ordered it. The alternative was to move the times back to what they were which first of all, doesnt really suit myself with working a full time job, as well as the numbers and response to the new times have been very positive. Anyways, that hopefully will take care of any issues we have had, and the times will stay the same for this weeks stream and we will see how we get on.

That's good news Peter mate! I'm on that Vivid Gamer package aswell and i've had no problems apart from the first day the installation guy was a bit of a div lol, left it not working, and I had no internet that whole night. New installation guy came the day after and replaced the new router, and it's been sick since! Hopefully you get it done right the first time! Should get a better upload speed from that aswell mate, it should be 20mb, just tested mine! So looking forward to thursday now

Thanks for bearing with us with the technical difficulties over the past few streams, this time things should go down without a hitch and we should be able to stick to the time listed above. I look forward to seeing everyone there tonight!

Thank you so much to everyone who tuned in to tonight's stream. It was so much fun. Really great to see so many new names in chat. The Shenmue community is definitely one of the greatest to be a part of.

Great stream!
Chat was... meh... at first.

We are currently working hard on E3 plans for the channel. Since this will be our first year (and E3 is always a celebration of Shenmue) we want to make it as entertaining and packed full of content as we can.
But at the same time, we are open to suggestions! If anyone has any ideas for content, comments, or anything at all then let us know in here, or PM me if you like. 5 weeks to go, the countdown is on!
