    So I watched the Gamespot stream and it was mostly okay, but it did have some weird audio issue where the audio would make these clicking sounds constantly. What livestream did you guys use and was it any good?

    I'm on gametrailers. It's pretty good, I've had a few dropouts, but that might just be my internet connection. It's been pretty good otherwise.

    What's going on with the global chat in the LIVE SHOW room? Where is everyone meeting?

    I watched the gamespot one through the GB chat. It was all good except some occasional video compression. I don't know if it was my internet or the stream itself. I'm gonna try Gametrailers for the EA conference to see if it's any better.

    Was watching on GT, they lost sound for about a quarter of a minute early on. They also had some issue where they didn't play the trailer music for not-Panzer-Dragoon so all you heard was the buzz of the crowd.

    I just watched it on Spike. No issues whatsoever, thanks to not needing the Internet to buffer the video.

    I watched the one at twitch.tv/twitch. The only issue it had was that the framerate during the demos was kinda choppy, so I wasn't sure if the game demos themselves had shoddy framerates or if it was just the stream.

    That actually didn't seem to be a GT-exclusive problem. I was watching it on the Xbox Live stream and even there the sound didn't go out. I think it was probably the same for everyone.

    Twitch here too. A tad choppy sometimes, but that could just have been my shitty computer. Still, 720p the whole time, great audio, great stream.

    That's not them. That was actually the people at the conference. It was really awkward. Had issues with Battlefield 4 too.

    I watched the twitch.tv front page stream and it was rock solid throughout.

    I wanted to watch on GB but the chat doesn't work for me and they were having weird compression issues so I switched to GameTrailers like every other year. In addition they have a ton of other footage going on in between these conferences.

    Twitch worked just for me, it stuttered a few times but that's probably because I'm on shit wireless.

    @ajamafalous: I was on twitch twitch too, and im pretty sure it was the game demos being framey themselves. Team Sparks thing was the worst.
    Twitch twitch stream never dropped and was 720p+ smooth throughout even with peak throttling time in the UK kicking in mid way

    Tried Gamespot at first which had problems with compression artifacting. Switched to Gametrailers which had problems with general stabalization with audio desynching.

    So then I just pulled out the cable box and tuned into Spike. Guess it's just my internet connection that is causing most of the problems.
