Calgary Thread 2015

also i don’t understand stream culture but i would totally take donations if people are willing to do that, even if i had a ton of subs

if i was mega set for life or something like that, then maybe i’d donate a portion of donations to charity, but streaming is a super volatile, super unproven market so you might as well make that bank while people are willing to give it to you, because in a year or two the whole thing might collapse or you might not be the new hotness. also, i think the number of people who are able to make a living streaming is pretty low (percentage wise to the number of people who stream regularly), and even fewer are the number of people who make SO much money that they can choose not to accept money. on the whole, a $10 donation from a viewer means a lot to 99% of the people who stream

as lucky as max may have been to be “randomly” selected by the wind as the premiere FGC streamer, and as good as he is at what he does (because while it’s luck among equally skilled people, it’s not ALL luck… he has good stage presence etc), i don’t think i would want his job. he’s a nice dude and i like him as an ambassador for the FGC, but he must put up with a ton of crap and i just can’t do that.

I would never play enough of one video game to build a stream audience. I’m a recluse by nature and listening to the incoherent ramblings of streamgoers would feel like a waste of time to me when I can play in serenity.

Can’t say whether I would accept money becuase I know for a fact I would never stream. I’m content making the honest money I do doing honest work. if you can call bartending being honest a hyuk

I’m not much of an economist.

WTI Crude oil prices, oil @ $38/barrel this morning.
That’s not good right?.. :S

Economics 101, if you don’t talk about it, it might not actually be happening.

Good thing my industry is recession proof. Too bad I hate what I do with ever fibre of my being.

you guys are hatin. if streamers can get donations, more power to them. i would love to play video games for a living.

yeah dude :frowning:
im scurred… beer is more valuable than oil now.
a 24 pack of Heineken costs $40

i’d rather hate what i’m doing rather than hate what i’m not doing if you catch my drift. a bad job is better than no job.

i’m all for them getting donations, i just don’t understand why people throw money at them when they already (probably) make way, way more then them in the end lol

idk why people do it but i’m glad

i bought usf4 for pc and a bunch of other shit with stream donations(mostly stream related things tho)

ps lets hots tonight boys

one of you dudes who says they want to play but never do should come on

after that last game i got the itch

kk, let me be on your team. im terribad.
ill be on at about 7:15pm

haha that was such a bad way to lose it made me chuckle

SIEGE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I don’t care about starving children!

We must resolve the issues of transgender washrooms in airports.
This is year 2015 Angry Mike, understand that women like to take a piss standing up too.
These are sensitive “women”, how dare you Mike.
This is first priority issue we all need to openly discuss.

Time we budget million of dollars for an extra public washroom for the transgender community.
We FUCKING NEED IT!

edit:
just joking.

yeah all things considered that was a really close/good game

i definitely think that when we play and dont “have enough damage” is more of “we dont have focusfire or good positioning in a lot of fights”

as soon as we started taking it to them we fucked them up pretty good in that double tank game on mines and hollow

we should probably do QM dream teams and practice strats like roaming(tyrande/muradin/jaina comps) and specific wombo combo type shit like maw into sindragosa/pheonix or something

also i dont want to play assasins anymore unless its jaina, i have like a 30% winrate with them across the board except for her :X

I don’t disagree, we just can’t really focus fire when the other DPS is usually a random scrub lol
If anything our 5th random person almost needs to be the support in this case since support generally have the same game plan regardless

But SFV beta tonight :frowning:

is it? when does it start

hey pete if you’re not wanting to “embarrass” yourself by playing Heroes with proz me and a couple dudes from work will be on tonight and we’re scrubs too!

Not that I want to steal him from your team, Foger. I’m just putting it out there if he’s intimidated by your L337 ski1lz

honestly as long as you just ask questions, follow us around and attack the same dudes it really doesn’t matter how good you are

when we talk about playing with shitties i’m talking about dudes who take literally all the wrong talents and just run off and die on their own the entire game

Fcuk man, great reviews.

I wanna play MGSV.

Fuck, wish you can rent games like you can before.
Cause those games I play only for the action and story.

:S

Remember what voice acting was like in video games before Metal Gear changed everything? Good times
