On Tuesday, 1/31/2017, from 6 - 10 PM (central time zone) we'll all be listening to and rating the songs from the Panasonic 3DO Music Competition. Shortly before each song finishes, I'll give users a link to where they can rate each song and the song submitters get points for any rating above a 3 (out of 5).

I will be hosting this event on my Twitch channel and I'll be giving away a total of $250 worth of Steam Games in the form of Vizzed Raffle Tickets which can be used to redeem Steam games and other digital games including eShop, Uplay and more. The Raffle Tickets can also be traded into the Vizzed Market for 10,000 Viz each.

The more songs you rate, the higher your chances are of winning a raffle after the stream is over. Each rating you make during the stream is basically another entry in the raffle. There will be over 1000 digital games that winners will be able to pick from. You can see a full list of redeemable games here:

I dropped the price of the PlayStation item from 50,000 Viz to 30,000 Viz. This is a permanent price change and is exactly enough to get from a US $25 Donation. Earning Viz is incredibly easy so you can obtain that amount without having to donate by doing many of the things listed in this thread.

The PlayStation item gives you access to play nearly 2,500 PlayStation games on Vizzed (which is almost every PS1 game ever released in all countries). All you need is a decent computer and the RGR Plugin installed and you'll be able to play the PS1 games with near perfect emulation and with lots of features. You can find a list of PS1 games that Vizzed has here:
https://www.vizzed.com/play-psx/

In related news, the PlayStation item was recently "out of stock" in the Vizzed Market (I know it's a virtual item lol) so I increased its stock to 100. I also made it so that the V-Machine CD item includes PlayStation games (which is an item that allows you to access all games for 0 Viz).

There are many reasons why PlayStation games on Vizzed are not available to everyone but the primary reason is to reduce bandwidth costs. CD games are huge, around 500 times larger than the average cartridge game.

I've extended the signup for the PlayStation netplay tournament by a week since we need more people to sign up before it can begin. This means that you all have until January 23rd to sign up.

We'll be playing various multiplayer games for the PlayStation. In each weekly matchup, you'll be able to pick which games you want to play against your weekly opponent. You and your weekly opponent come up with a time where both of you are available so this tournament can work around anyone's schedule.

If you're interested in signing up, respond here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=98115


You're in control of the weekly games you play which include:
-Twisted Metal 2
-Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
-Crash Team Racing
-Cool Boarders 2
-Jet Moto 2
-Quake II
-Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
-Gran Turismo
-X-Men vs. Street Fighter
-Micro Machines V3
-Bomberman World
-Soul Blade

You can now upload your gameplay videos to the site using the Vizzed Gameplay Videos youtube channel again. You can do it from a game's page like you normally would or you can do it from this page:
https://www.vizzed.com/videogames/videos.php

The uploading script has been rebuilt from the ground up. It's taken me a while and I'm still not done but I wont take full credit since some of the assets of the uploading script were purchased.

The new uploading script functions a lot better, tells you how far along your upload is and no longer uses the Vizzed.com server to upload the videos from (which means less strain and site slow down).

In the near future I plan to make it so that you get credit from your video uploads sooner than 24-48 hours. I also plan to give the Gaming Videos page lots of features such as the ability to search for game videos based on submitter, game, system, keywords, etc.

You can support Vizzed on Patreon here:

My Patreon page has been up for quite a while so this isn't new but I haven't been doing a very good job of promoting it or keeping up with it. I'm going to work on changing that. I also finally got around to building up the courage to make an intro video which you can find here:


The video goes over why I need the support and the rewards users get for pledging to Vizzed each month. The Patreon page goes over all of that as well.
