I wonder when I first started regularly streaming video? I remember downloading things to watch because streaming was too slow. Probably YouTube, but I don't remember when I started using it.
I think it was RealPlayer for me. I remember finding different sites and praying the connection was alright. That they were at least close enough in the world that you didn't see that awful word, "Buffering..." Then I learned how to rip the whole rt file. Pretty sure I still have Trigun in rt actually...
Then once Winamp had video streaming, I remember surfing through crap on there all the time. Sooooo many weird foreign movies and anime...
I almost forgot about the winamp video streams. I do still remember the 24/7 red Vs blue stream that was on it though!
I lived in the middle of nowhere and my dial-up could only do 19.6k.
Good enough to "12/f/Cali sorry no mic I gotta TracFone with no minutes parents keep the house phone in their room cuz I got caught talking to guys lol"
And that's how me as a 14 year old boy paid for my cellphone with no job.
I remember watching South Park on RealPlayer...I guess it was streaming and I forgot! Yeah, that'd be my first time as well.
