its where a bunch of kids play games and get paid millions to do it, but you're just too old to get it

Back in our day we had to pay to play video games.

you know how back in the day your parents would tell you to quit playing that trash, it's not like anybody's gonna pay you for it?

they were wrong.

 

[sdreaper]

A few years back with my "hangover sundays" I would put on twitch and watch the League of Legend games.

This year, I am putting on twitch for advice from streamers for the arpg game I play since their knowledge exceeds mine. Also using twitch for October when I don't have a horror movie (31 days of horror movies) pre-planned or can't decide since ShoutFactory is streaming daily at 4pm our time. https://shoutfactorytvlive.com/31-nights-of-horror

My parents weren't, I'm not nearly talented enough to get paid doing that, even had I "practiced" more.

There was one time in my life I thought I was good at Starcraft. Then I went to Blizzcon and watched the competition. Yeah, I'm not good.

Eh these days you don't even need to be good to make money on Twitch. I'm pretty sure like half of the wannabe's on that site are purposely ***** at the games they play because it's often more entertaining.

 

[rcubed1]

I'm assume the good players are like the great musicians and practicing for 8+ hours a day.

Definitely a mixture. There's people I watch because they're good, but more often than not I watch people because they are entertaining or just funny.

We hosted our own party at SideBar on Saturday and T-Pain was the DJ. It was absolutely amazing.

We're having our holiday party at SideBar. How is it?

Still need talent, just of a different variety. I have neither the skill nor the youtube charisma needed to actually succeed in one of those gigs.

Which is all good, I'm doing fine - just my parents were totally right in telling me to stop playing video games and study instead.

if anyone was planning on coming by mikkeller miramar, don't bother till the renovation is complete. it's horrendously bright (construction lights), loud, echoey, and miserable inside.... but the new tap system is pretty rad.

Great bar. Food was good, drinks were fine-to-good. The lighting in the back area is so ******* cool.

I plan on getting a bottle and bringing it to a softball game to make all of my friends suffer with me.

They may start questioning whether you’re actually their friend...

Hope they send me a bottle to review.

Friends make sure friends don't drink bad beer. I am just giving a free lesson on what bad beer is expected to taste like (...inb4 it actually tastes good).

Haha. Truth be told, I’m morbidly curious. Still have a soft spot for Arrogant Bastard.

I can’t think of the last time I actually had the original. But, I do remember enjoying the Lukcy Basartd releases they used to do.

Brings back memories of college, jager bombs were my jam. Shot of jager dropped in an energy drink, what could go wrong?

Sad news from Billy over at Lost Cause,

"Just lost 80 gallons of an oak aged sweet meadowfoam traditional mead. Tote on wheels caught something on the ground and tipped. This one hurts. We’re stretched enough as it is trying to open the new space. Not a good day, but trying to keep perspective. It’s just mead. And I know how to make more. And at least our place smells like vanilla marshmallows today."

=(

Oh man, reading that I hope they are not over-extending themselves like Council did and end up imploding the whole business.

Oof, that sucks.

I don't support many breweries these days (because I'm a hermit and East County exile now), but I regularly look forward to everything Lost Cause releases. I would honestly go in on a reserve membership or something if they had one.

Yeah this place totally needs a membership or even a Kickstarter.

Thomas with another spot on the podium at this year’s Alpha King with a 2nd place. Getting close to AK GOAT status.

Alvorado St won.

 

[riko1]

Sorry, but who's Thomas/what brewery?

 

[smithj21541]

Sorry, but who's Thomas/what brewery?

It took me a bit as well. Belching beaver. Thizz is what it is was the beer that medaled last year. I really liked that beer.

rcubed what beer placed this year? Is it on at 980 right now?
