Common sense is asking a lot out of streamers when they're insulated by their hugbox followers/mods.

We found one of the same guys from Zelmarked's vids playing BF4 last night but his game crashed and he stopped playing early. I'll try to get him sometime in the near future, but here's the original vid:

The ad money isn't enough to live on unless you're really huge. So if you want to make a living entirely through being a poo poo lord who calls people faggots in an FPS instead of working a job, you need donations.

That is amazing, and a clever streamer could have turned that into an amazing and unique experience for their viewers. Maybe give a short tour of the cell, play the blues harmonica for a while, give a short tour of the cell, do a Q&A session, give a short tour of the cell, etc. Some of the funniest LPs are when things have gone wrong and the presenter just has to roll with it.

It is specifically killing people for refusing to participate in combat. They hang out on rooftops and hillsides, far away from combat, to kill people with little danger from being killed back.

And then they're getting repeatedly destroyed by a little robot that is controlled by a person they can't reach from their sniper spot :getin:

Exactly. These people will have a 1:1 KDR because they killed one person by a lucky shot and got killed when a dude landed a helicopter on them.

They also stagnate the team, make the game more one-sided, and develop egos about it. So, kill them. Always.

We managed to join against EatMyDiction but it was hard to get UAV kills since he was on full 64 player conquest running blindly into danger and dying nonstop to other players. He did scream and whine a lot, and he's one of those Youtube superstars that plagues Recommended Videos so he's definitely a worthy target.

Streaming video games as your primary income is hardly a good idea since it's very clearly a passing fad. Youtube and Twitch are absolutely saturated with wannabe game commentators panhandling to buy s1ck gaming components instead of something more meaningful. Streaming or LPing video games should always be a side hobby, not your entire life. You could honestly make more by pulling yourself up by your bootstraps, going to community college or something, and refining your interpersonal skills to land a semi decent job.

That paragraph mostly applies to my next video, hopefully I'll post it later today.

Having to beg for people to donate, that I can understand. People actually donating? What's all that about

You're literally watching someone sit around playing games for their own entertainment. Are most streamers massively charismatic or something? Hell even that BongRip guy has some donations scrolling across his screen, and he's just messing around and whining at the camera. This is a thing that people can literally make a living with, however fleeting?

I imagine very few people make a living by just streaming, and I'm sure it isn't a lucrative one. BongRip dude probably has a job.

Half of Coach Topher's knife griefing in Gungame videos have at least one person who realizes what he's doing and develop a hilarious sort of resignation about it. There's also hints in a couple videos that others occasionally join in.

The sole purpose of griefing is to get a negative reaction from the other person so people who roll with it more than often don't make amazing stories.

A number of years ago on World of Warcraft my friend somehow managed to overhear the details for an in-game wedding, and we spent days organising how we were going to invade it and what the timing needed to be. We ended up with around 50-60 people including an Alliance rogue we knew and had asked to snoop for us and video-capture it, co-ordinating everything over voice chat so that as soon as the 'bride' got to the altar everyone would stream over the hill and just burn the roleplayers to the ground. It went off perfectly, we laughed and took screenshots of ourselves on their skeletons, and when the ally rogue told us they were regrouping at the capital city, we followed them there and did it again among the NPC guards.

The 'groom' later forwarded us a recording of their voice-chat and while they were kind of annoyed initially, they started laughing about it on the way to their second destination and when we showed up there they thought it was hilarious. If I remember correctly they even posted to the Blizzard forums thanking us for turning up.
