I just saw this (http://www.ustream.tv/channel/penny-arcade-tv) on Penny Arcade. Its a website that streams whatever is on your PC's screen onto the net and lets people watch it. The PA guys use it so people can watch them draw the comics.

Think how cool it'd be if we could watch OoTS get drawn! I'm not saying it'll happen, just wondering if anyone else thinks that'd be cool, or if I'm just a loser.

Hrm, an interesting idea. Perhaps worth thinking about, giant.

With the server load the way it is serving the final comic image and forum, I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for any kind of streaming image feed....

Yeah, it would really slow the site down. It would have to be posted on YouTube or someplace public like that.

Ustream is its own website.

So if it can hold Penny Arcade, it can hold OotS... How 'bout it, Giant?

I think it would be cool, but it would give away elements of an epic strip before the time came to see it...

Personally, I don't like it...

Yes… I'd rather see a making-of video after reading the comic, not watch it being made beforehand.

I don't like it.

Since Penny Arcade is hand-drawn, it SORT OF works for that, but OOTS uses a lot of cut and past artwork, so it wouldn't even be that interesting to watch IMO.

Believe the Giant said it takes 2-3 hours for a finished product of the comic...
Would be a long time watching it, hehe.
