VOTING TIME!!!
I decided its best to just vote on what exactly to use the Tyler fund for. Here's what I'm hoping to use it for:
[collapse=Option 1: Pot Bonuses]
Having a pot bonus can really raise the hype for those traveling. However, it's a shame to use all that money just for added hype for just one tourney at a time. It's cool, but there are other options.
Ranges from $50-$150 every time we use it.[/collapse]
[collapse=Option 2: Laptop]
I'd love to buy a laptop that we can 100% rely on the fact that it will be at every tourney. As of now I've been borrowing my moms or Poppas, and can borrow Lun4's. but it would be a luxury not to have to rely on them.
This would range from $350-$400 however, I'd also use this for streaming my speed running, school, and just browsing, so I could probably get my parents help on paying for it/I want to get a job soon to help pay for it.[/collapse]
[collapse=Option 3: HD PVR]
This would allow us to stream in HD and have the nicest looking streams. It's just a much higher quality capture card than my current one.
Price ranges from $150-$250, but I'd also use this to stream speed runs, and would use money from a job if I get one soon.[/collapse]
[collapse=Option 4: Commentary Headsets]
Having over-ear headsets with mics for commentary is pretty essential in having a good stream.
I have found some decent ones for cheap.
Price range: $40 for 2. Can afford RIGHT NOW out of the Tyler Fund.[/collapse]
[collapse=Option 5: New Stream Software]
Right now I'm using the trial version of Xsplit, which isn't very high quality. There are very nice streaming programs that can range from $50-$200 but I'd hate to buy this and not have a static laptop to use ya know?
*cough*couldalwayspirateit*cough* but I don't like doing that so probably not. Would much rather buy it.[/collapse]
Option 6: Other(post ideas below)
Start voting! I'll tally up the votes at the end of next week and see what wins!
I vote for.... I guess laptop holds a lot of priority, but if not laptop(I hate to vote for that cause I'd use it for personal use too lol) then HD PVR/headsets are important too.
