So I just turned on 'Live from playstation' for the first time.....

My favorite was the drunk Batman guy that always came on with his girlfriend. Once he tried doing handstands, fell and kinda hurt himself.
 
Always something interesting for sure lol.

Oh god, I've caught him on there a couple of times by accident. He's terrifying. Which means he's amazingly good at his craft.

But seriously, pure nightmare fuel.

Lol they're the best part of ps4 streaming. I turn it on when I lift weights and try to find humerous ones. Who wants to look at game streams when you can watch drunk couples fight with one another or argue with viewer comments?

Does the guy that cosplays Batman & eats Banana still stream?
Didn't he get busted with coke?
There was a guy who was doing coke as batman once. Dude was all over the place. There was a guy who would broadcast from his tattoo shop. That one was cool.
 
Live from PlayStation is one of my favorite things to do when I have friends over on a Friday or Saturday night - the shit you see on there is so totally bizarre you almost can't believe it unless you see it with your own eyes. Once I saw two twelve year olds in Ninja Turtle masks playing with what I hope was a toy pistol pretending to shoot and hump a life size cardboard cutout of David Tennant from Doctor Who.

It's amazing what happens when you give the average person, with almost no idea of how streaming or computers work, the ability to stream yourself to thousands of people.

Alright, decided to do this myself for once instead of just reading stories. got an Xrd stream via Niconico, someone drawing anime illustrations on Ustream, and some Russian stream with a woman just lying on her bed staring into nothingness on Ustream too.

Edit: Another artist stream. I'm guessing there are a bunch of these.

I haven't used Live in a while, and this thread made me go back and take a peek... and now I'm watching an airshow from some guy's patio in a trailer park in what I think is North/South Dakota. Shit.

Reminds me of Playstation Home, in that its this weird thing Sony doesnt know what to do with, but is profitable so they leave it alone.

Then there is a Russian household with a guy sitting with his wife doing household chores and guys' commenting on her ass and what they would like to do with her and shit?

Okay not sure if it is the same one, but there is a Russian couple on now. The girl is lying on the bed eating an ice cream. Some guy just wrote, "I wish I was an ice cream cone". The Russian guy said, "fuck you America!" lol
 
Why do people use reddit? Every time I click on a link for there, I am just so confused how this layout is appealing to anyone, and I find it confusing whenever I actually click on a thread.

Yeah, same. I just can't understand that layout. This turns me off from the website even before the community does.

Umm if you're after that kind of show you'll find it, not just on PS4, but any device with a connection to the internet that can live stream videos.

The Playroom is exploited by some. It's known. Accounts that are caught with nudity etc are banned as far as I remember. Just a minority of what makes Live from PS - which is, video game live streams in general.

Great feature for next-gen consoles. Sometimes I watch games I am undecided on.

Found some more pics I tweeted forever ago.

This guy was dancing to tons of Michael Jackson songs. He was amazing, also wore a hat and glove sometimes.

This was just some random guy sleeping but the ARbot ran across his leg and started standing on him watching him sleep, it was really cool and a little creepy lol.

One another guy had plants and then another one was hands on with his gf lol.
The Playroom is a very interesting place, but it also reminded me of JTV before Twitch existed.
A bunch of random people doing random every day things, lots of cool people and lots of assholes too but it was always entertaining.

Sometimes random shit happens. It's as if some people don't even know the camera is on and use it as a radioshow.

There was this dude sitting behind his desk talking about Kingdom Heart 3. It was right after E3 and I was listening to his theories with a bunch of other viewers. He said he was going to take a drink. When he stood up you could see him sporting a massive boner behing his sweatpants. I was legit shook and killed the feed. That thing was poting at me, it was too much.

Is it normal for KH fans to get an errection when talking about the game? botty, is this true?
Who's botty?

I was kind of obsessed with it the first few weeks I got my PS4. One of the early ones I saw was "At x number of viewers she'll show boobs" and sure enough she did. Saw a stream of a guy cleaning his pool, people grilling outside. It's kind of wonderful. This is one of my favorites, a stream from Joel Schumacher's house.

Saw a stream set in a barber shop one time. Just the barber going about his business chatting with his customers while playing some hip hop station in the background. Was kind of relaxing in the same way staring at a fish bowl can be.
 
I watched a Japanese gentleman sleep one night and a topless, hairy middle aged man in a luchador mask dance erotically while his mother or possibly missus was cleaning in the background.

It was weird.
 
And what the hell is going on here?????

There is a Japanese transexual showing scars on her leg or something?
There is a super high guy with a mask on, who is dancing randomly.
Then there is a Russian household with a guy sitting with his wife doing household chores and guys' commenting on her ass and what they would like to do with her and shit?

And thats like first five minutes! What is this bizarre world? Has it always been like this?

Go to Games

there are various ways to sort, but I believe the main one is it shows the games in descending order from the game with the most broadcasters down to the least amount of broadcasters.

If you just go to plain live from playstation, yeah you will find mostly stuff not related to games at all. Especially friday night / weekend nights. People like to stream their parties or get togethers. Girls will just sit there on a bed doing random junk like reading a book and have 500+ watchers.

The best ones are the musicians for me. Good ones anyway. One japanese guy was playing all kinds of metal and had banners and shit ( using the Playroom app ) requesting the next song with his website and donation site and such up on the stream. Was awesome.
 
Giantbomb's Live section from one of their upf's was amazing. They were watching Scottish people with ecigs and an old man rocking out in his man cave.

It's surprising how few people seem to view the broadcasts. Probably would've had sections locked down long ago if more users knew about the occasional madhouse.

Last year right before Christma I watched a grown man who seemed to have legit developmental issues put together a gingerbread house. It was hypnotizing.

Live from Playstation is awesome. You end up finding a lot of dumb shit, a lot of cool shit, and plenty of interesting people.

I wrote a thing about this recently. The Playroom on Ustream has basically just turned into mostly a fucked up wasteland of sex, porn and drugs.

Thanks for the good read KillerIsJed

and people continue to have sex for everyone of any age to see with no age gate or verification. The same goes for the people performing the sex, no age verification is needed to stream or view these live streams. All streams are viewable on UStream's Playroom directory, and on the PS4's Live on Playstation app.
There is no age gate on Ustream because it would be difficult to make people adhere to a self imposed rating or for Ustream to police it. However you absolutely can prevent somebody from being exposed to this stuff on LfP. There is a very robust parental control system on the PS4. You can prevent an account from user generated media including broadcasts

Do the above if you are worried. It's like the old Uno debacle on the 360. It isn't very widespread and users who do it are often banned but you can block it if you want.
