DayZ Adventures from last weekend (2/7-2/9)

This weekend was ACTION packed. I sat in my computer chair and played video games ALL weekend. I parked by car on Friday night after work, and did not get back into it until Monday morning at 8AM. These days, for some weird reason, that defines a perfect weekend for me. I'm not sure if I am turning into a recluse, or am just sick of socializing. Anyways, I finally got into some AWESOME DayZ action. I had been playing a character during the week (last week) here and there, and had a pretty geared dude with a rifle and handgun, plenty of ammo and food. I was a strong survivor, but had yet to meet much opposition. I like to lurk in the shadows of night servers, and avoid contact with other players. Although I'd love to meet new people and team up to pursue other bandits, it isn't easy to trust anyone in this game.

DAY 1
So, I was set up to do some serious fighting, and had my cousin Dave to assist me. We were both on ventrillo together, so we could chat while playing but nobody would hear our voices in game. We decided to go up to the northeast airfield and lay low back in the woods. After about 5 minutes or so, we got bored. So we carefully made our way down from the woods to the actual air base tower, keeping our eyes peeled for other bandits. The server we were on was heavily populated, and it only takes one shot from a sniper to end your life. We went into the main tower and I waited downstairs while Dave checked upstairs for any loot. The building was already cleared out, and I knew we had to be on the move quick. My cousin Dave was dicking around upstairs with his rifle, I think trying to put different attachments on his Mosin. It was funny, because right before we made contact with another bandit, I told Dave that we need to get moving, that something didn't feel right.  All of the sudden, I hear a gun reloading sound.  This sound happens either when A)You or someone nearby is reloading their gun or B)When someone spawns, that sound automatically plays. So I instantly start barking at Dave, "Yo Dave!! Are you reloading!? Dude is that you!!??", and he replies with "No! It isn't!!" and we both go quiet. I hear footsteps outside the building, and realize we are finally in for an encounter. Now, at this point, you can choose two paths. I could have spoke up in the game and told the guy we were friendly and didn't want any problems. I also could have just waited for the guy to enter the building and shoot him in the face and see if he had any good loot. We decided to take the guy out. As Dave waited upstairs, I waited on the bottom, peeking around the corner looking at the door. I hear the footsteps get closer, hear gunshots and see a bandit out of the corner of my eye, BEHIND ME! The motherfucker must have hopped through a window to get into the building, instead of strolling through the door I was watching. So, now I'm dead and pissed. I tell Dave to be ready, the guy will be walking up the stairs right to him any second now. During this commotion, Dave decides to switch weapons, and the guy catches him mid-switch and lights him the fuck up with his machine gun. We are both dead. 2 versus 1. Owned. Embarrassed. All caught on tape (well my point of view was). So we talked about what happened, and learned alot. It was kind of late at night by this point, so we logged off for the night and made plans to begin again the next day.

DAY 2
Ok. The next day. I am geared, like really fucking geared. Dave is also really fucking geared. Dave has a M4A1 with tons of ammo, and I was rocking two pistols, a magnum and a FNX45. We were scouting out the northeast airfield once again, silently stalking. We were at the hangars, and I spot a bandit running from the tree line down to the air force tower that I died in the night before. One thing about DayZ that really is amazing is the RUSH you get, because you spend so much time gearing your toon, you really try to be careful because when you die, your dead for good. So, seeing another bandit INSTANTLY gets your heart pumping.  We strategically place ourselves at the back corner of one of the hangars, waiting for the bandit to exit the tower. Finally, after the bandit loots the building, he comes running out, totally oblivious, towards the hangars. I tell Dave that I am going to pop out first and unload my 45 mag on him, and Dave will back me up with his machine gun. I pop out from the corner of the hangar, and put all six shots from my clip all over the bandit. He doesn't drop, and Dave peeks out as well and throws a couple shots his way. The bandit is bleeding heavily, but retreats back towards the air tower he first came from. We pause for a minute, and then decide to pursue before he can get bandaged up. We knew that he was hurt pretty bad, and most likely will go down quick with a shot or two. So, Dave and I head towards the building, with Dave leading because he has a much better gun than me at this point. We peak around the corner of the tower, and see the bandit under a tree bandaging. Dave pops out and unloads his M4 on him. Lights out. High fives go back and forth. We just killed our FIRST BANDIT as a team!! Like I said above, the rush you get from this game in these situations is UNMATCHED by any other game I've played before. Turns out that guy had a M4 as well, so now Dave and I are geared up even more. We take what we can from his body, and head further east towards the ocean and a huge shipwreck we saw earlier that night. GOLDMINE. I really hate typing this info, but yeah, the shipwreck up in the northeast corner of the map is LOADED with some good loot. Either that, or it was our lucky day. Dave and I found ammo, scopes, gear and two SKS rifles, which is like an semi-auto Mosin. FUCK YEAH! I decided to keep the M4 and Dave took the SKS for sniper support, seeing he had a scope for it. With our new gear and big egos, we head back up to the NE air force base to do some hunting. We soon find ourselves in a similar situation, as we wait silently on the edge of the woods for bandits going to loot the air towers. We see a bandit, who looks well geared, heading for a tower. Dave and I decide to take strategic positions on each side of a wall near the building, so we can see which way he decides to exit the building. We are up near the hangars, so we know once this bandit finishes looting this building his next stop will be right towards us. Finally, we see him exit the building. I was at the south end of a wall to provide cover, while Dave was at the north end. He was headed towards Daves end, and once he gets close Dave pops out and empties 2 rounds into him... yah that's right...2 rounds. Dave forgot to tell me he only had 2 rounds for his weapon, so Daves shots weren't lethal and the guy just lights Dave up. I'm watching from the south wall, waiting to cover. The guy runs up on Daves body and I pop out and blast off with my M4. I must have shot everywhere around this bandit, because he just turned towards me while I was firing, I heard a couple shots, and my screen was black. We just got dominated by one guy! And we knew he was coming! Total embarrassment! After discussing the terrible outcome, we thought of different approaches to that type of situation. First of all, I reminded Dave to have a fully loaded weapon before pursuing someone head on. If I knew he was rocking a gun with 2 bullets, I would have never even tried to kill the bandit. I also came to the conclusion that shooting someone in the back, when they are running away from you, is way better than shooting someone as they run at you. Pursuing them from behind will let you get shots off at them first, and if you don't kill them, you can drop back and reload without worrying about getting yourself killed. After that catastrophe, we took a break from DayZ for the rest of the weekend. Either way, we had TONS of fun and I cannot wait to fuck some bandits up after work today! I'm going to find water, a can of beans, to the ship and then up to the airbase. Bring it on, bandits!

MASSIVE MUSIC UPDATE

So, I got home from work last night and literally just slept until I woke up this morning. Boring life. But, when I woke up and began my trek through the snowy wastelands of New York, I was delighted to see so many new JAMS on my Soundcloud feed. Check these bad boys out...

MAJA LAZA! I love the middle-eastern type sound in this, and it reminded me of another jam from a while back, give it a listen... I fucking love BeatauCue. Always have. I would highly suggest checking out their soundcloud page, they have such an amazing range of tunes. They make everything from house to trap, dubstep and even some moombah, like the track above. I really love these guys!

Tomorrow is V-Day, and its about that time we get a new Luvstep mix from Dirty South Joe and Flufftronix! I think this will be Luvstep V, and these mixes are always FUCKING AMAZING! I feel like these two guys really were pioneers of making a genre of dubstep that isn't vicious and angry, more laid back and lovely. This seems to be a new remix and I'm positive they will drop it on Saturday night (2/15/14) on Diplo & Friends. With this giant snowstorm coming, I know I'll be relaxing with my girlfriend listening.

And then I went #OneDeeper


Here is a new track from this producer Kygo, who has such a different style. I read that he is doing his first tour in the US soon, and I took a minute to imagine what his set would be like. His music is very peaceful, almost sounding like some old school Japanese stuff that would be playing in a shogun temple. I would definitely like to check him out if he comes anywhere near NY.

WHAT DA HOOK GON BE?

I am feeling nostalgic today. So, this post will be dedicated to the jams from the early 2000's and even late 1990's. These tracks were fire then, and they still are damn good. It sucks that rap has been so shitty lately, and I don't care what anyone says. Kendrick Lamar sucks. I will never forget, like a year ago, reading some article about his debut being compared to Ready To Die or Illmatic...haha COME ON MAN! NO WAY! Anyways, check out these jams...throwback city biiiiiiatch!


This track was fire...what happened to the St. Lunatics?





I wish Kanye just stuck to making beats. I remember bumping this song in my moms mini-van like i was a BOSS.



I never meant to give you mushrooms girl...





Feel good music.



SOME PEOPLE ONLY SEE THAT IM WHITE IGNORIN SKILL, CAUSE I STAND OUT LIKE A GREEN HAT WITH A ORANGE BILL,BUT I DONT GET PISSED, Y'ALL DONT EVEN SEE THROUGH THE MIST, HOW CAN I BE WHITE? I DONT EVEN EXIST...



I play this for my mom on mothers day and she was like "I fucking hate rap Stephen."






Grab ya dicks...






Love this beat...







and this honestly might be my favorite track of all time... ALL PRAISE HOVA...

New music to start the week off with..

i know y'all gonna like dis shit!



Here's a new mix my dude Dillon Francis did for the TripleJ radio, loving the *DIPSET* he threw in there. 





#OneDeeper
This track really is a fucking banger, FYI.




Mr. Carmack proving us with some of that silky smooth space-trap. I can dig it.



Here is a deep house jam with some Outkast vocals mixed in. Supposedly this song was submitted from an "unknown" producer, but if I had to guess who it was , I'd go with someone from the French Express label (Perseus, Moon Boots, Isaac Tichauer) or maybe Duke Dumont? Maybe? WHO KNOWS?!




Glitch Hop. Itch Glop. Hotch Glip. Very glitchy.



This remix make a nigga think he bein chased through da jungle.


Some of that fast paced wub wub wub !




Sick remix of a track by one of my all time favs, Beataucue. FUCK YEAH!

 

 

AND THE MONDAY THROWBACK JAMS....

BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP! Huge throwback track from Bart B More. Damn, I used to love this shit when it first dropped.


Perfection of gnarly dubstep with some high pitched female vocals. This type of remix shows you why Zeds Dead were on their way to the upper echelon of dance musique. ZD BABY

BUT FIRST...LEMME TAKE A #SELFIE. ENOUGH SAID.





JFK from MSTRKRFT is a living legend. I like Bird Peterson too, so now listen to some tracks from their new record label.

Speaking of Bird Peterson, here is a dope ass old school rap mix he made a few months ago, I think sometime last summer. Sippin on dat lean'


Sticking with the rap thing...this new track produced by A-Trak aka Trizzy Turnt Up with KILLA CAMERON GILES aka Camron on the vocals is HOT FIRE! Reminds me of the good ol days when I was bumpin Purple Haze with my boys in like 12th grade. Cheers.

WHY AM I OBSESSED WITH TWITCH.TV?

www.twitch.tv/backwoods518th


I've known about Twitch.TV for a while. I never understood why people would enjoy watching people play videos games. Why not play the game yourself? Recently, I have found myself watching TONS of Twitch.TV and even trying out my own stream. So, in this post I want to go over my favorite streamers on Twitch, and talk about my stream and what I plan to do with it.

SUMMIT
www.twitch.tv/summit1g

Summit is one of the first dudes I stumbled upon while browsing Twitch. I guess the guy is a former Counterstrike pro, so I assume his large following must have been from his CS days. He is now retired from competitive play and streams full time on Twitch. I've watched this guy for 30 minute intervals and literally seen him get over $2,000 in donations. FUCKING INSANE! He is kind of funny at times, and provides good insight into the games he plays. One of the main reasons I purchased DayZ SA was from watching him play. I usually troll his channels and say things like "Yo Summit, remember all the weed we used to smoke together back in the good ol days?" , and he always replies back and is like "Umm nah Backwoods. Nah.". Either way he responded, so my troll wins. He was definetly the first guy I followed and even threw him a $2 donation. If you check out his stream, you will see he has multiple donators, with the top donator BigHerp. BigHerp has donated this guy over $20,000! ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! Anyways, when I watch this guy consistently stream with over 3,000 viewers, raking in cash for playing video games, I realize that I am alot cooler than this guy, have a better personality, and with a proper fan base: CAN BE THE #1 TWITCH STREAMER!

 

 

TOWELLIEE

www.twitch.tv/towelliee

So, Towelliee is another big time streamer on Twitch. His stream can sometimes be funny, crazy to watch is guild raid in WoW. He also reminds me of someone I know I think, but just can't figure out who. He is very similar to the other streams I watch, and is extremely goofy looking just like Summit.

 

SODAPOPPIN

www.twitch.tv/backwoods518

 

Sodapoppin is the SUPERSTAR of Twitch.TV. He usually plays WoW, and is known for being obnoxious and a virgin. He has a huge fanbase of little girls who worship him. Definetly don't wanna follow in his footsteps, but he is funny as hell sometimes.

 

 

ok so now here is my idea...

First of all, I need to figure out the best way to advertise my name and get a following. Putting your time in is definetly something you can do, but in order to be the best, I imagine some kind of act of god must happen. So, until I'm famous I will just troll the above 3 streams until they get me followers. Originally I had ideas of maybe having a Friday night show or something, but that takes too much planning. It is way easier to just sit back in your computer chair and act normal, while people watch you play. I'm not really the most vocal gamer, while some of these dudes are constantly talking while playing. I'm not sure if they always narrate everything they do, but for me, that doesn't happen naturally. So, I've been working on doing that better and just talking to the camera, because even though I usually only have one viewer, PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT!

check out my stream, almost every night I'll be on!

What to do this summer?

These dark, cold winter months are growing old. Being a lifelong New Yorker, winter has never appealed to me. I went skiing a few times as a kid, but deciding a day of skiing is not worth the wind burnt fucking face. I do enjoy ice fishing, but I'd rather be FISHING in the middle of a lake in a BOAT when its 80 degrees out. So, this blog is about how to deal with winter; by dreaming about SUMMER! Now, you might ask for someone who hates winter so much, why not move somewhere warmer? Well, due to certain situations I've put myself into, A) I do not have any money saved to move anywhere B) I have no degree so applying to jobs in another state or country would not be easy because you cannot do anything without a degree anymore C) I enjoy being angry and miserable so even though I hate winter, I secretly love it.

SUMMER

 

Ok, now lets talk about summer and everything we wanna do! We = my beautiful girlfriend and MYSELF. Isn't she beautiful!? So, initially we were planning on going to Costa Rica in the spring, but our plans have changed a bit. By March 1, we plan to move into an apartment together in Albany! So yea, we gotta save our mulah for that shit. WE ARE BOTH SUPER EXCITED because after almost a year and a half of long distance, we can see each other on a daily basis, not just weekends. wE areeEee sooOoo in loOooovee. Ok enough of the love bullshit, because Natasha and I mean business this summer. We are going to make 2014 our BEST YEAR yet. We are just gonna dominate this summer and do every single activity possible. Last fall we started hiking different mountains in the Adirondacks with my Aunt Colleen and a wide assortment of family/friends. Every time we had a FUCkING BLAST! So I definitely want to climb more mountains this summer, and just spend more time in the ADKS in general.

 



Most of the PLUR fam ontop of Mothafucka Mountain in the ADKS.

Summer will probably start with a bang, because I know I'll end up going to Mysteryland at the end of May with the PLUR FAM! ~update: $300 for a Sat/Sun pass + camping = GET THE FUCK OUT BRO. NOT GOING~ Anyone who is close to me understands that I have over a million hobbies, gaining new ones almost on a daily basis. This summer I've decided to touch on some old hobbies, something to GIVE ME A RUSH! So, as summer nears I may buy a new BMX bike and head into my family's sand pit with some heavy equipment. I used to ride bikes constantly with my friends up until around 16, once we got our licenses we stopped pedaling. Now that I am a bit older, I have thought about how lucky I am to live on 100 acres of land, and I definitely want to take advantage of that this summer. Hoping that my family will allow me to operate some heavy machinery that I was not allowed to use in my teens, building a dirt jumping course or even a race track through the woods will be ALOT EASIER! I get so damn excited even thinking about this, I CANNOT WAIT FOR SUMMER! I would even want to build the trails to have friends come over and ride, because I'd love to get some sick pictures and videos and maybe make something cool with it. So the word is out y'all, Backwoods Trails coming soon.

This is the bike I'm thinking of buying, something that will handle my fat ass but nothing insanely expensive.

Talk to ya later!

~~ WiNtEr JaMzZzZ~~

Wassup baby? Its dat boy Ski Bird providin them infamous ~~ WiNtEr JaMzZzZ~~ to keep ya body warm through them cold months. Ya heard?

I have a huge crush on Alex Metric lately. This is a super sweet mix of tunes he has been listening to on the road as of late. I love these chill-out type mixes, and this one is great to kick back with. Hipsters love nu-disco.
Herro my name isa herry fong and i come from Florida. Yo, the original is a tight track but this Destructo remix is sick! My man takes this electro banger and remixes it into some tech house ear funk for your soul. Must listen, cannot wait for the full track to be released. Soul Food bro! Mr. Flash has been around FOREVER! I remember seeing his name on the Ed Banger Rec Vol. 1 album, and didn't really understand his style then. Last night I pulled up the album from 2007 and listened to the Mr. Flash track on it, and was like wow...this sound is fucking huge today! Fast forward to 2014...and you can hear the funk coming from all directions. There are tons of guys ruling the scene using the funky sample-driven, dubstep whomp formula such as Pretty Lights, Gramatik, Griz, ExMag, etc.
Check out the youtube video of this Mr. Flash track from 2007 while your here, you can see what I'm talking about.


This song equals HAPPINESS! One of my Favorite tracks off the EP Oliver put out in early 2013, this remix is PERFECT! I love the funky bassline and the high pitched synths, which goes together perfectly with the voice samples they used in the remix. Gimme some more of dat!

Ok, here is a Thursday Throwback track...my all time favorite DJ Avicii and my 2nd all time favorite song behind Levels. Enjoy.

Welcome to the world of Shaye Saint John

ok. watch this video.





ok. now watch this one.




ok now one more.


if you now fully understand what the fuck is going on in these videos, you are full of shit. because no one knows what the fuck is going on in these videos. not even the person who made them. this is shaye saint john and she made like mad youtube videos. now that you are properly introduced, scan her youtube channel and prepare to feel uncomfortable. =)

I was randomly searching youtube one day at work, and came across these weird ass videos. The first one I saw was "The Hand Thing". I was like wow, this is great, and continued to watch. After becoming very uncomfortable from watching this weird shit, I began to think about what or who the fuck was making these WEIRD ASS VIDEOS. I like to think that I am weird sometimes, but dude this is some weird shit. Most of the videos contain Shaye, the weird mask creature with a wig. I did some research, and supposedly these videos were made by some hopeful actress who lived somewhere in California (I think LA) but was burned very badly (like picture 2-face from that batman jumpoff), which crushed his/her (?) acting hopes and gave birth to this creature we see in these youtube videos. In some of the videos you see Shaye wandering the streets, and it definetly looks like some upscale town in the hills of California, but something just isn't right. At first I thought these videos would be funny or kind of make more sense the more you watched, but this is sadly not true. The more you watch, the more confused you get. So, when you have some extra time today, sit back and force yourself to watch Shaye Saint John videos for like 30 minutes and then come back to this blog and comment your thoughts. I'd also like to touch on how weird it is that these videos suddenly STOPPED. I think there are ~57 videos on the youtube page, and the last upload was 6 years ago. It seems that they were being regularly updated for a while, but I'm unsure why they stopped. Rumor is that Shaye died, but its real hard to find any sources or news about this. So, in the spirit of weird ass shit, I'll post a link to my other all time favorite WEIRD youtube video.


I FEEL FANTASTIC HEY HEY HEY



Fucking weird, right!? Supposedly this was made by a serial killer, and the mannequin is wearing clothes of the victims, and the shot of the backyard towards the end of the video is where the victims were buried. Now, make sure you watch this video right before you go to sleep tonight.  -ski bird

LATHER!

 

Läther
 

Läther - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
So, last weekend was an interesting musical journey for me. I had a very late night Saturday, and spent a lot of time exploring some new tunes. That's when I came across this gem. Lather is a 1996 album by Frank Zappa, the fucking original bad boy of classic rock. If you never gave him a listen, and you like humorous lyrics accompanied with insane instrumental classical rock, check this dude out! This is his sixty fifth studio album! 65 fucking albums! That's insane! This album touches on a bunch of songs that I really like, especially Re-gyptian Strut, Broken Hearts are for Assholes and RDNZL. Check it out if your a fan of Zappa, or if your are just trying to find something different. Here is a link to a YouTube of the whole album.

FRANK ZAPPA - LATHER (ENTIRE ALBUM)

Before I forget...

So, I just wanted to share this DJ mix by Alex Metric that he did for OWSLA, and a remix by the allmighty Jonas Rathsman that I heard first in this set. Alex opens with the beautiful track Panama-Always (Classixx remix) and just gets better as it goes on. The whole vibe of the mix really makes you want to relax on a beach somewhere, or atleast be somewhere warm. Since I am NY, this isn't a reality for me, but whatever! Really one of my favorite mixes so far in 2014, and the Rathsman remix is a MUST LISTEN. skibird, paz.

HEARTHSTONE OPEN BETA!

 

 

 

Go check out Battle.net and sign up for the free beta RIGHT NOW!



 

WHATS UP MOTHAFUCKAS? Aw man, I really wish I wasn't sitting at work right now! Other than just not wanting to be here, I have a new reason to despise leaving mi casa: Hearthstone. So, this is a new game from Blizzard, the creators of 98% of lifes necessities (These guys made Warcraft, Starcraft, World of Warcraft and of course DIABLO...so besides those games you need a computer and some food and your set for life).

I hopped on the beta last night around 9:30. It was cool to see the new Blizzard "launcher" being beta tested for Hearthstone. It combines all of your Blizzard games into one simple page, so you can just launch and update games easily. The initial game download was around ~1 GB, and then you had to install around ~800MB of patches. Launching the game was awesome, I always love to see new Blizzard cinematics. The tutorial of the game sets you against 5 computer characters. Blizzard chose to start us (the beta testers) with a mage. It is really fucking cool how they incorporated all of the graphics and sounds from previous Warcraft titles. So, as a mage, you recognize tons of spells/minions/abilities if your familiar with Blizzard games. The game is a lot like Magic the Gathering, being that it is a card game, where you draw a card each hand, and control your character who has a set amount of hit points. The major difference from Hearthstone and Magic is that there are no "land" cards in H.S., but at the beginning of each turn you actually gain a mana crystal, which pays for creatures and spells you cast.

So, if you are on your 8th turn, you should have at least 8 mana crystals at your disposal at the beginning of that turn. There are also cards, like in MTG, that can add mana to your pool, making your army powerful a lot faster.There is also in-game deck editing, which I thought was wicked cool and user friendly. It is basically just a click and drag interface, for almost every aspect of the game. It was definitely made with the intention that you could pick it up and learn how to play almost instantly. After playing for about 2 hours last night, I realized that this game requires more skill than I previously thought. As you begin to play online against other people, you gain experience and gold. The experience will level your character up, and at certain levels you unlock other playable characters to battle with. From as far as I got last night, the gold you earn was used for buying new packs of cards, which from what I saw, are 5 to a pack. These packs are then added to each characters card bank, and you can go and custom build 30 card decks. I am eager to get the fuck outta work and battle tonight!

I also was downloading Eve Online while I was at work all day yesterday, and was able to log on and play the game for about an hour. This is an open space MMORPG type game, and it seems insane! You choose a character and board a space ship, and the rest of the game is totally up to you. I just began the tutorial quests, which taught me how to fly and attack, and harvest supplies. From what I've heard, the game is VERY advanced, and you can manipulate almost every aspect of the game world. I am excited to play it some more, I got it for a 14 day trial, and maybe if I really enjoy it I'll make the purchase. Life is so tough though, because there are so many video games but so little time!

OK , I'm done writing for now. I am going to try to end every blog with some music, so check out what I got for today...some Ski Bird Drum and Bass Chillout Jams...Paz =)


UPDATE

I am sitting at my desk at work staring out onto the barren wasteland that is Albany, New York. I am pretty sure its fucking -2 outside. I forgot I started this stupid little blog! Summer nights are much better than fucking winter days! Anyways, I wanted to use this post as a little update to whats going on in my life. I am moving into a new place hopefully around March 1st with my lovely lady @Natashakrolo_ ! We are looking to move into a nicer part of Albany, either uptown or downtown in the Center Square neighborhood. We are trying to get a dope 2 BR spot, and the second bedroom is gonna be MY COMPUTER LAIR  (hopefully). With that being said, I've kinda gotten obsessed with gaming again. I've always been obsessed, but during the winter months my playing time reaches an all time peak. I mean, what the fuck else is there to do? So, lately I've been playing tons of different games. Almost too many, but thats not a bad thing. I also have set up my streaming account, with Twitch.TV. For anyone who doesn't understand what streaming is, I'll explain. I run a program on my computer that records my actual computer monitor, showing whatever game I'm playing. I also have a mic and webcam set up, so you can hear my beautiful voice narrate and see my beautiful face gaze into the computer screen as I pwn n00bs.

www.dayzmod.com

DayZ has been my game of choice lately, and it is SO FUCKING FUN! It is the first survival FPS I've ever played, and its mad realistic. You gotta feed your dude so he isn't hungry, purify water you take out of streams so you don't get sick, and clean your weapons so they shoot straight. I really enjoy trekking through a HUGE map to get supplies, and in a half of a second have all of your work be worthless because you stepped into the line of sight of a bandit with a sniper rifle. Another great aspect of the game is the world chat, where you can just chat with random people while playing and hear what type of weird shit they have to say. Anyways, you can get to my stream at www.twitch.tv/backwoods518th !

 

 If I can work up a miracle and stream to thousands of viewers per night, maybe I can quit my day job and just be a full time video game player. I've been working hard to think of ideas to maybe generate a fanbase, but its not as easy as you think. I might try giveaways to lure people in and then charm them with my witty comments and amazingly good looks. There are so many "big time" streamers such as Toweliee and Summit, that literally stream themselves playing video games, accept Paypal donations the whole time, and also get paid by sponsors to run commercials during their streams. The only thing I don't have going for me, is some of the streamers are like "pro-gamers" and had a big following from YouTube or some other shit before they even hit Twitch TV. There some, like SodaPoppin, who just blew up randomly though, and thats what I gotta hope happens. Ok, I gotta get back to work. Thanks for reading!
PS:
Also, heres a link to a new JAM from Sluggers. They did a remix for the Diplo track Revolution. I love where the song is headed in the first 1:30 ish, and kinda wish the drop followed that dark, robot like beat rather than the chopped vocals drop with limited bass. Either way, I dig the song ! Check out the other remixes while you are at it. Make sure to check out Sluggers new EP as well, the originals are remixes are fucking dirty tech house nastiness!
