Wanna Watch A Ballgame?

I may have have the best news ever. Last night, while messing around on the computer, I successfully found a live broadcast of the Softbank game. Tonight, using the same software, I am currently watching the Hawks battle the Orix Buffaloes....it's 0-0 in the top of the 5th.

What is this magical FREE software you ask? It's called TvAnts. All you have to do, is download and watch. While everything is almost everything is in Japanese (the scoreboard on the screen is simple enough to follow), I find it fascinating to listen to the crowd. Drums, whistles, chanting, they are never quiet.

The program quality is pretty good. The screen that loads is a little small but, you can maximize it if you want. The only thing is that the larger screen is a little grainy. A few times it will freeze but, it usually fixes itself pretty quickly. Really though, no complaints considering the feed is coming all the way from Japan.

On perk is that TvAnts just isn't Japanese TV shows. It has numerous Chinese and Korean channels, as well as lots of American channels. I watched the MLB network for a while on it earlier.

Here are the instruction after you have downloaded the software:

-Open up TvAnts and allow for the Channels to load on the screen.

-Once they have loaded, scroll down to where the non-english Characters begin.

-Look for NPB: Fukuoka... in the title.

-Double Click and let it buffer.

-Sit back, and enjoy the game.

*If you can't locate the feed the way described above, just type "NPB" in the search box at the top of the screen and it should come up then. Be sure it has "Fukuoka" in the title so that you load the right game.

P.S. I pre-apoligize for spelling/grammatical errors. It's 12:40am and I just got back from a full day at Six Flags. Soooo tired.
