Streamers that I’ve been enjoying lately

We have been using an amazon fire stick and alexa remote to watch tons of twitch on our living room TV lately.  Here are some streamers that I’ve been watching lately.

Elspeth – She is a talented voice actor that has been playing a variety of jump/scare games lately and it is hilarious.  I love listening to her slip into different characters while shes playing through her games.

Drjayfisto – Method raider and pro mage who may be streaming from his Gothic style dining room?  Sometimes I watch to learn how to play better and sometime I have him on for his music.

Lirik – He is probably the first streamer that I’ve made a point of watching consistently and have been a fan of his for the past 3 years.  He is honest, humble and will often seek opinions outside of his own on topics that he is curious about.  He plays a variety of games including tons of indie projects, the new latest and greatest game and shooters.

Method gets world first G’huun in Uldir

Method has not been shy about showing their progress to the world as they work on the final boss of Uldir.  This is an unusual move for a high profile guild since most opt for secrecy when working on their own world rankings. Many of Method’s raid team have been dominating the top stream spots for World of Warcraft for the past week.  At current tally Method streamers are responsible for 78% of the all of the World of Warcraft viewership today on twitch.tv.   After following their progress It is apparent that the production value of their content is incredibly high and is reminiscent of the Olympics coverage on NBC.

They are being supported by Discord, Wowhead, Redbull and many other mainstream companies throughout their up to 16 hour days spent throwing themselves at the bosses of Uldir.  We’ve seen an outpouring of support for the raid team through twitch subscriptions, and over $3000 in contributions and not to mention the branded merchandise that they are selling on Method.gg

I only point this all out because I think it makes a lot of business sense the way that they did things and managed to win the day! They gave us a reason to be excited about WoW by including the masses when most guilds would have shut us out. The only sad part is that now that the top spot is taken we won’t be seeing as much excitement around the race. I’m already looking forward to next tier 😂😂😂😂

Great job to everyone involved with the race, the raiders of Method, the hosts, production crew and everyone that made this amazing show possible.

Uldir the Race for World First

As of today the race for world first Uldir mythic completion is running hot!  Limit has taken the lead killing Mythrax the Unraveler with Method close behind killing Mythrax just an hour ago.  Method has claimed the title more than any other guild in history and they are close to adding another.  Limit has a real shot of unseating the reigning champ with their advantage in both bosses killed and time spent with the content.

If Limit can pull out a win here it would be the first time that a US guild has claimed the world first title since Premonition got the world first Tribute to Insanity back in Tier 9 (Uldir is Tier 22).

Method has not been shy about promoting their guild in this race.  During raid progression is one of the times that you will see a flood of viewers watching World of Warcraft on Twitch.  Has this hurt them in the race?  Most competitive guilds abstaine from streaming during their progression push, although it is the most exciting time to watch a streamer play WoW so I understand why so many of Method’s players are streaming this week.  They are not shy about displaying the amount of funds raised during this race, and each individual streamer has been gaining a following during this race for World First.

To Stream or not to Stream

I have the basic streaming set up and have occasionally streamed our raids, mostly just so other people in my guild can see what the heck is going on.  Lately I’ve debating putting more time into streaming…start using a camera and get some art on my twitch page.  One thing that holds me back is the amount of trolling that female gamers seem to get.  I would not be your typical popular female streamer with loads of make up and pink hair (although I am a big fan of Pokket) it’s just not my style.  I look like…well a mom!  And I’m proud of who I am.  Is being a streamer really for people like me?  Would anyone want to watch someone with no makeup?

I’ve been thinking about what I, personally, would get out of streaming.  Streaming is mainly thought of a way to create entertainment and make some money.  What if I don’t care if I make a dime and don’t want to put out anything that is not authentically me?  What would I get out of it then?

My dad is a creative streamer and has been doing it since earlier this year.  He really  enjoys the social aspect of streaming and has an active chat room most nights that he’s on and will talk about the projects that he’s working on.  He loves to educate and make recommendations for what type of projects that he’s been using.

I think what draws me to it is learning how the whole thing works.  I find a lot of joy in learning new things and being able to use what I learn to do some cool things.  Maybe I’ll go through the motions of setting everything up and making it look nice.  I’m so curious about this whole world of streaming and I want to know more about it from all angles.
