Hey guys.

So, as of late, since I'm out of a job and stuff, I decided to start streaming stuff. I do have a few questions, though, such as if I should broadcast through a router? Should I plug in my cable in the PC itself? Any better service apart from twitch.tv? Better software than Open Broadcast Software?

My viewers report slowdowns every few seconds, but I'm sure this is not from my side of the GAME since I don't even get slowdowns when streaming, but rather my Internet.

Thanks and please excuse the stupid questions, apart from the OBS setup I found nothing else on the internet.

I usually stream stuff: http://www.twitch.tv/claudeftw

A router should not affect your streaming in any way unless your router actively throttles your internet or blocks required ports. Seeing as you can stream already I doubt this is the case.

Slowdowns can be fixed by slightly reducing the amount of frames you're recording if you're using OBS, I remember that causing significant slowdowns in my case.

Battlefield 4 for the moment. Maybe some Far Cry 3, Splinter Cell Blacklist in the future.

I suck, though, I don't play for points.
