Quick question how many twitch viewers would I get for showing my tits? Especially if I'm also good at the game?

I'm asking even though I don't have any tits and am not good at the game.

As the MagicAmy controversy has proven in Hearthstone, you don't need tits if you're willing to cut a manipulative Asian chick in for a percentage of the take.

hahahahaha oh man I accidentally struck pubbie gold. First, a replay:

Long story short snapshot constantly. After the match, I got messaged by someone who typed like a child. He was basically unintelligible. It took me a while to catch what his point was (I must use Warpack since I hit shots!) but after I figured that out, he took the bait.

I just noticed he signed his first message :kimchi:

Yet, despite being tired, you tried to help him, sending him links to modpacks, telling him about the aiming buff, server-side reticle, etc. Some rear end clown with no command of the English language was "u gonna get ur gam bettr" at you and you still tried.

As a vet, I can see how some vets feel betrayed, but why say that to random strangers in an internet video game? :iiam:

edit: VVV He is a very special pubbie. 1200+ games in a T18 and a 48% win rate. Still in his last 1000 battles he has ~800 WN8 and a 52% win rate, so maybe he got a better computer or is learning how to play.

aww he's kinda endearing :3:

most pubbies are mouthbreathing shitlords who deserve our eternal ire, but every now and then there's a mouthbreathing pubbie who is just... i don't know, adorable. this is one of them.

So, this is a good time to remind everyone of one such special pubbie that I discovered a while back--it's probably been at least 2 years now. His name is mankindontario06 and he has a ton of Youtube videos of him playing and commenting on World of Tanks. He's really bad at the game and appears to play on a terrible computer, which makes him even worse. He doesn't really understand what's good play and what's bad play, but he thinks he does. He's rather opinionated and likes to post replays of "bad teams" so he can comment on them and point out what's bad and what should have been done. In a way, he's like us: he abhors bad play and thinks that bad players should go do something else. He'll call bad players out in game with the same zeal that goons do. The trouble is that he doesn't know what's bad.

Here's a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEuBscLbASs

He really lets them have it:

"stupis fing tushers"

"you fing weak fuc ups learn how to play it and stop wasting the teams time"

He complains that some people tell him to uninstall the game, but he says he's not going to do that. He loves the game, he loves World of Tanks. Some people pay for the game to get special shells. The problem is stupid people waste their time, not taking the game seriously. He encourages more people to take the game seriously and to not waste other people's time by playing poorly.

He obviously not a bright guy. He's a terrible player. His videos are awful, so awful that they become good. Something about him is endearing, at least to me. I enjoy watching his videos despite how bad they are. I check in on his channel from time to time to see if he's uploaded anything new.

mankindontario06, you are my favorite pubbie.

edit: please don't troll the guy's youtube channel, I want him to post videos forever

edit2: his video about the "great rip off of chips" is really great, too. don't buy great value salt and vinegar chips from wall-mart!!! mankindontario06 is the bearded guy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usIWJoD4wjw

He's just so sincere that it's endearing.

I remember back in those days when drop platoons actually worked and you could get 2-3 full platoons in the same game, sometimes even all on the same side! We'd kill everyone but one of the pubbies then surround him just to laugh at the rage and confusion.
