If you’ve dropped in on the livestreams on the Centaku Media channel on Twitch, you may have noticed something really neat during the gameplay! In lieu of a webcam in the current stage of channel growth, I opted for something different.
During my stream of Final Fantasy XIV, I had my annoyances of having to read the dialog text from far away playing the game on the Playstation 4, as my setup was me sitting near a bed where my TV is mounted, giving me no option to place a chair near the viewing area. The solution would be to make a place where I can place the screen in front of me in a traditional PC Gaming style setup. That’s easier said than done.

For those who are just tuning in, I would like to explain to you what “Backseat Gaming” means. It seems it’s a term used in a very few places, especially in the online world, but such an activity could have happened to you, and you may not realize it.
In an effort to reach out to other users who share like-minded interests after relaunching and rebranding under Centaku Media, I created a Twitch account back in 2015, where I’ve streamed Dragonball Xenoverse, Final Fantasy XIV, and Overwatch. 2018 has been a year where I’ve attempted to set up a stream schedule, due to the convenience of living 10 minutes away from where I work, and the long breaks in between.
However, due to the growing workload, and the sleep difficulties of being a third-shift employee, I have been unable to keep my schedule. Now that I am in a different role at my job, and with slightly more free time, I’ve been streaming on certain days that work for me between writing new posts, and other duties of being an adult. There is also the option of having an impromptu stream during the week. Despite the efforts of keeping a consistent schedule, and finding the perfect game to stream, it’s difficult to find the viewer draw; It’s hard to compete with 10,000+ people playing Overwatch, as well as Fortnite, at any given time.
