State of the Channel #1
I guess it's time to tell the world what's happening and what's going on.
Over the past ~2 months I've moved away from doing Let's Play's to a more interactive Let's Stream format. Using my channel at Twitch.tv. This way I can interact with my viewers while creating my video's. It's a lot of fun talking to people, receiving their input and answering their questions. This works great especially because I'm mainly playing games that haven't been released yet.
Subscribing to Twitch and following me on Twitter are probably the best ways to join me while I'm streaming live.
About the games:
I'm really thankful of Paradox Interactive for giving me the Crusader Kings II preview version. A lot of people have watched me play it and to be honest: I'm really loving it. Because they haven't stopped developing the game my game is really looking horribly out of date by now. But no worries, PI to the rescue: they have given me a beta code. So I will probably start playing that (note: because it's a beta and probably updated a lot we probably won't see long dynastic games).
I'm also looking forward to A House Divided, the Victoria II expansion. I don't know exactly when I'm getting the preview version but it's close. I will probably be halting CKII for a while to explore it.
And lastly: Magicka. I heard a lot of great things about it but I never had the time to play it. I have the game and all its DLC's (thanks Paradox Interactive 
) so I think I will try it sometime soon. Can't have good games go to waste, can I? I'll let you guys know when I boot it up for the first time. You guys might actually be able to help me get a little kick start.
The final chapter:
After doing this for almost 3 years I have come to the conclusion that this hobby isn't cheap at all. It's not only the computer hardware and the fast internet connection but I also pay for my blog, the streaming and video editing software and as you guys might have noticed my microphone quality has gone down a lot recently because my great microphone died. The ads on here and on a few Youtube video's definitely help me out but it's nowhere near covering the costs of this operation. Plus, I'd like to improve the quality over time.
Although I never liked asking for stuff I've recently added the ability to donate to me. And a few people already have, thanks a lot! The money will go to improving and maintaining what I'm doing. First on my shopping list is a 2 year license for XSplit. If you'd like to help out check out the little widget below.
As a thank you I will try to give donors little perks. Right now donors get the right to name a child in Crusader Kings II (no guarantees of survival or becoming a non-crazy character). Which obviously has the potential to turn epic.
