The Wan Show Is Always Broken

[Guest Darth Revan]

I just have one simple question. How hard can it be to have a week, a single week where the Wan Show is not broken?

Seriously how hard can it be?

I've been following Linus's videos for years now, and ever since they decided to name the live stream to the Wan Show. Almost every single time the show has some sort of a problem. Whether it's audio problems, video problems, computer deciding to bluescreen, software issues, the audio or video doesn't work or work properly when screen sharing, you name it they have it.

How hard can it be for a team of over 10 people (honestly I lost count how many of them they are) to build a machine or fix the one they, and ensure that streaming from that machine works and then leave it like that.

All it takes is just a couple of hours to fix it once and for all. That's it.

 

So how hard can that be?

Because they have machines with 48 cores of xeons but use shit computers for hosting, and its LMG, wouldn't be LMG if it worked right

Doing things live, with mixes of live cameras, mics, inputs from various secondary display outputs (Their laptops) can be a real trick to getting running seamlessly, particularly with the resources that are worth investing into what effectively an hour podcast.

 

There's not a lot of 'consumer grade' level switching hardware for that that isn't so idiot proof that it's limited in uselessness, and a proper live production/switching/mixing setup is frankly, not cheap.

The one time I decide to watch WAN Show the stream goes down.

 

They need to have a dedicated rig for it if they don't already - a rig that doesn't get touched except for WAN Show stuff.

Its simple. Linus is just cursed. When its Linus is absent it always works right

Normally I would say give them the benefit of the doubt. Technical problems happen. But I've been watching them for like 3 years now and the wan show almost always has issues. My friends and I stream off our own computers and basically have zero issues doing it. I don't understand how they can be unprepared every week. It's surreal.

If its not broken then it looses it charm. Ive been watching the WAN show since before it was the WAN show.
