I know this is a pretty old blog post, but it still is true to this day,year,decade. I’m very refreshed and happy that other casters feel out there feel this way (thanks dan!), perhaps there should be a fun-o-meter bar in the channel and we can just go by that! but seriously, this is the way to think if not be jealous of a fellow caster or go as far as hate on their “numbers”

for me it’s all about having fun and sharing experiences with others. Only thing I wish is more people could know about when stuff like that happens!

I’ve been trying to brainstorm of a way to get promote just the low view channels just to show examples of what Dan is saying about their “success”

awesome article, please right more.

Great Article. I myself cast whenever I can and have no schedule so that takes a toll on the viewers, but I just play whatever is fun for me or if I want to play a shitty game and laugh at it. Just keep doing what you do, if you cast it they will come. (cheesy field of dreams quote)

There is no name calling, If you are referring the casters I mentioned, if you re-read you’ll see that I’m naming example of casters with usually high view counts.

Its always sad to see a caster go down the dark side of streaming. The only bad experience that stands out for me is when I was hopping from cast to cast and I ran into this guy he seemed nice, polite etc. Eventually he got some trolls and that was all he could talk about, not the majority of people that loved him but just that one **** in chat.

This is great advice to follow a real inspiration for any aspiring casters.

I personally would call succes about numbers….of course if you have a personal goal….then i would call it a personal goal that you succeeded, that’s your personal succes, but it’s not a global succes. a global succes, is in my opinion(!) still based on numbers, the more people the more money the more succesfull you are in an average count….

For example, you can be really disapointed with the wii, but it is a succes because it’s the most sold console in the world for now….though I would call my xbox an personal succes because I enjoy playing with it more then my wii.

I do agree though that you should never “focus” yourself on getting an higher count….you will make yourself unhappy because of it , for example, not playing your own games you like but the games people want to see….of course you need compromises sometimes and “listen” to your audience, but only when it’s not in the way of your happiness, like playing skyrim because everybody thinks it would be fun watching me play it, but me being so bored by the game that the commentary I would deliver would be influenced by it. But a game like star wars kinect, that looks like fun to play but not when I’m at my own, I would consider that because I could create an experience with that , together with the people watching with me.

The only thing I would say though is if you have 2/3 people in a chat, I always feel a bit akward but that’s personal I guess, i always prefer above 10/20 people to keep the chat going.

I would disagree though on calling names in your blog….don’t know why but it doesn’t seem really right to show examples…..can’t really explain it sorry otherwise nice blog dan ^^ keep up the good work (and keep them up maybe a bit more frequent lol lol )

So true. Its also easy to focus on the bad things, all the trolls that you attract. I sometimes see populair casters that are focusing so much on the trolls, they ignore the “I love you!” fans, and only react to the “I hate you!” trolls.

But I truly believe that you Dan, will always be the same Dan that we (the community) love And continue to love and will never lose sight what is truly important. And I hope that when im 70 years old, ill be watching you play Final fantasy 32. Kappa

Comment on Rage by stealth

stealth — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:02:33 +0000

It’s good, but it ( without spoliers ) ends so abruptly. By that I mean, just as you think you are delving deeper into the story, game says no! And it leaves a bad taste..where as it should leave a ” I want to see what happens next ” taste.

Overall it’s pretty good for a ” weekend ” game. For sure though its fun.

Comment on Darksiders by stealth

stealth — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 15:00:03 +0000

Yeah totally agree with all of the review here. Darksiders is one hell of a game. Fun and to be honest a pretty easy platinum/1000gs. The story is awesome, and the setting great.

I love hack and slash genres, there is not enough of them out there in my opinion. This and Dante’s Inferno are two of the best games of the hack and slash genre ( recently at least ).

So yeah as the man says pick up a copy..and I mean if you need incentive, you get a horse that rises out the ground on fire..with no load time..just saying

Comment on Final Fantasy 13-2 Review by norbiej

norbiej — Fri, 02 Mar 2012 05:51:07 +0000

I really liked 13….that said, I haven’t completed 13-2 yet, but I also can’t really get into it….well I did play it for over 20 hours and it nice but some areas are repeated a bit too much for me….that’s why I liked 13 so much you were always on the run you almost never saw the same area twice and the story just felt a bit more like a story instead of what 13-2 is….it feels to chaotic too much choices. Now I do like choices in games, like mass effect or skyrim, but final fantasy shouldn’t have them imo….not like that. I really hope they figure out something with final fantasy 13-3 or 15 i would love to see final fantasy 12 system return with maybe a combination from 13. But nevertheless I do love 13-2, I just liked 13 more and I’m disappointed in that square listened to the fan base….they should have done what they wanted to do.

Comment on L.A. Noire by Evilcat12

Evilcat12 — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 01:21:12 +0000

Very good review. As someone who played and finished the whole game, DLC included (Even got my first Platinum), I must say I enjoyed the whole ride! I really can’t say I have played anything like this game and find it hard to understand why people say its the same thing as other games. If people thinks it’s boring, I can understand that, but to say that it’s rehash is missing the big picture. But I digress.

This game was my most anticipated game of the first half of 2011 the day it was announced, and it didn’t dissapoint. I really hope that we get a sequel (or at least a spiritual successor) to this groundbreaking game.
