I'd like to review my gamer habits and my involvement in the gamer community. I REALLY want to start up a twitch stream, or just upload my gameplay to Youtube and I would, I really would, but my fucking computer and internet is too shitty. I don't even know why, I had a program that worked perfectly when it came to recording games with my commentary and all that bullshit, but I can't find it. My internet is so shitty that if I twitch streamed my gameplay I'd probably lag too much to play, I tried just steam streaming it to a laptop so a friend could watch what I did and it had horrible, horrible results. I somehow managed to win the game though, emphasis on somehow. I played a heavy carry that was dced for 5 minutes while my lanemate fed. But that's beside the point. Another problem is I don't watch enough gameplays online, whereas my brother watches that more than anything else on youtube, so besides Dota I wouldn't know what to do to entertain people. I just know there's a crapload of commentary.

The list of games I currently play and would love to stream and do the challenges and all that good shit is at this right now.
1. Dota (of course)
2. Binding of Issac Rebirth (I'm actually mad about this because I had a lot of progress with him but then steam cloud rolled it back for no fucking reason)
3. Civ 5 (Not the best game to stream but if I play hard and do stupid shit the way I learned people love to watch then I could definitely make it somewhere with it)
4. Warlock Master of the Arcane (Personally I prefer it to Civ 5 but there's still a lot more for me to explore in Warlock)
5. Risk of Rain ( A perfect game to do runs with, not on the level of shit like Binding of Issac though, I don't think there's an end to it)
6. Dungeons of Dredmor (Love this game to death, I don't know why I never put it on my laptop before I stepped on the screen which I never said anything about)
7. Spelunky ( This game should be higher up but I haven't played it in so long and when I did it was with a controller so I'd have to transition to PC because fuck capture cards)

There's probably many more to add that I play like a fucker but those are the ones that I could do a good enough commentary on, except the last 3. I used to play Spelunky a shit ton but never learned all the secret mechanics and shit. Again, I don't even know how to start it up. It'd take me awhile to and since I wouldn't be twitch streaming it might be harder to make money because I'm stuck with youtube videos. I only even say I know how to be a dota caster because I read up on articles on dota, I know the items, I play enough that I'm not just aware of new meta but I play with old meta to an advantage as well. From what I've scraped people watch dotacasts to either learn metas, learn to play, or for the caster. I could probably do all 3, but biggest problem would be the caster part. I also like to play "retard builds" which are the ones that you fuck someone up and they're just like, the fuck just happened.

As for other ventures, right now I'm considering League again, I also might start playing Smite. Smite is just because I have another friend that is the gamer type, that I can trust to know what the fuck he is doing, and Smite is a game that my brother used to play and my other gamer friend would probably switch to if my brother and I started playing it also. The transition however would probably fuck me over completely because of the 1st person view versus the top down view that I'm familiar with, also because you have to aim autoattacks and there's a massively different meta compared to Dota in terms of lane setups. League is just because well, to put it plainly, bitches. Bitches, Bitches, Bitches. When I'm in a slump playing Dota I consider playing League to refresh my intuitive brain matter because I gotta relearn League every time I play and know completely jackshit about it whenever I play it. But I'd never transition unless my true motive was because of a girl. Last year I started playing because one of my friends who's a gamer chick kept telling me to and I figured why the fuck not, I was always thinking about getting in her pants too but now I couldn't really give a fuck, she's dating one of my pally pals also so there's that. But this year is cause of a chick in my class that plays it, of course I don't talk to her much so it'll give me something to talk about. I'm already at least acquaintances with her brother, her twin brother, and he tells me to play League with them so I figured why the fuck not, I'm going to refresh my abilities in playing League for a week and hit him up and blame it on my Dota slump. Also, it seems that all people will play is League and I don't know any dotafags outside of my brother and our friend. Cause I'm still running Hipster Darth Vader I'm also still trying to interact with the community and so I invited people to play League. I tried it with Dota and everything else I could think of but it was all a no go.
