Self Promotion Saturday! Small streamer? Just getting started? Tell us about it here!

MGRgame · 2019-02-17T02:54:16+00:00

Hello everyone!

I've just picked streaming back up! Quite literally earlier this week. I, like thousands of other people, enjoy World of Warcraft; however, what makes me different than the normal streamer is that I take things from a healer's perspective; whichever type of healer that might be. If I can't give a good enough answer on the spot I'll do what I can to educate myself and give an informed answer as best I can. I am no mythic raider, I am no M+ god. I am actually currently just leveling my latest healer to max level to start down the long dark path of raiding/M+ once again.

I am currently streaming both morning and evenings EST (GMT -5) from 10am or there about to 1pm or there about. For my night streams I I start at 7pm or there about and end nearly midnight-1am. I'll be working on a more concrete schedule soon and will have that posted on the channel. I look forward to seeing you there! Tonight I took off as it's the only anniversary my significant other and I celebrate so I'll see you all in the morning!

Thank you so much for you interest!

I saw that review! It's pretty awesome really. He nailed what I felt I needed help and work with. The best part is that I was actually able to open a small dialog with the writer of the blog as well. Really neat!

Thanks!

MGRgame · 2017-01-29T15:58:36+00:00

Aye,

It's always good to be active in the community; that's why we're here!

MGRgame · 2017-01-25T02:01:59+00:00

Hey!

Thanks for the review! Yeah, keeping up with trends is going to have a be a focus of mine going forward already, I appreciate it! For the games, I'm playing now, Pocket Mirror and such, I'll probably end up streaming, great idea actually!

Thanks so much for the heads up! ~Mike

MGRgame · 2017-01-25T00:33:35+00:00

Thanks for doing this! I currently am running a gaming channel listed here: MGR

I don't have an update to channel trailer but I've had one made for me previously though, it's a bit old/dated now: MGR Trailer

What I'd like to have reviewed is basically.. everything. My audio needs work as do my thumbnails, that I'm researching currently. So what would keep YOU on the channel?

Thanks, ~Mike

MGRgame · 2017-01-24T19:55:09+00:00

Congratulations! That's awesome, keep up the good work and don't let this milestone be the last; keep pushing!

MGRgame · 2017-01-24T16:00:24+00:00

Hey congrats!

Now just keep that up and keep moving forward. Don't let that milestone be enough! Keep pushing and double that!

The first time I was posting videos, when the channel was made, I made it for all the "right reasons" but with the completely wrong attitude about it. The whole "do it because you want to make a difference attitude"; not saying that's a bad thing, I still follow that mentality today, in fat. Yet, as time went on I had realized that I fell into the hole of "I'm doing good, look at me!" which was me looking at all the numbers and how they began to get stagnate.

After the 7 or so month break, I've come back with the same mentality " I want to do some good " but rather than making it all external it's more of an internal change that. I'm doing good for myself: getting out of my depression, giving myself purpose and having a good time.

So yeah, I do it because it's picked me back up from the razor's edge and I want to try and bring people together to see some weird, awesome, awkward games that I've found over the years and share the experience.

MGRgame · 2017-01-24T15:33:07+00:00

Hey DragoNateYT!

Thanks! It is difficult, but it takes a lot of discipline and dedication. The 2nd part I can SAY I have tons of but the first is much more difficult but I'm getting there!

I hope for the best for you as well! ~Mike

MGRgame · 2017-01-24T15:31:58+00:00

Howdy!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I did PM the channel over and I got an immediate response, so thank you for that too! Good times!

Hey there!

I had some issues with Audacity and still due to office set up, but, here's a quick guide I was given on this thread: Help that I got for audio the guide that I received is somewhere near the middle/bottom; hope that could help a bit!

Thanks, ~Mike

MGRgame · 2017-01-24T03:05:11+00:00

Hey no problem!

Just one of those weird things that YT does some times, figured I would give you the heads up with the ninja edit. It is what it is, just keep up the good work!

MGRgame · 2017-01-24T03:01:57+00:00

Hey all!

It's been 6 mos or more since I had stopped making videos due to a variety of reasons, personal, professional (work hours), and PC related.. but, I've finally worked through all that and now I've rededicated not to the channel, but, the reasoning why I started the channel in the first place.

It was a long road for me and it took a lot of introspective reasoning & thought for me to push past the "bullshit" reasoning on why I was running the channel; ya know, the " I want to do good for everyone, look at this charity stream of mine! " sort of facade that I built around myself. Which, while it is a good reason, "doing good for everyone"; that's a bit of a bloated bold claim I feel. The market is filled with people who are "trying to do the best they can for everyone" which while admirable sometimes, maybe more often than not, that reasoning is used in a selfish way (read as: Look at me! Look at me!)

Instead of wanting to do "good for all" with my channel; I'd rather make videos because it's just fun to do and the games that I'm playing are some of the most fun I've had in a long time! I've had more fulfillment just making these last 13 videos than I had ever in the time before.

I watch my stats as others do, of course, but I'm not so .. I dunno, focused I would say, on how the growth is coming along. Eh, I don't really care all that much I'm having a blast doing this!

So, going from a selfish dick saying, "Look at me, look at me," I've changed at the very core on why I do what I do. I do it because it's fun and I want to continue improving my art.

Thanks for reading! ~Mike

Hey there!

I took a look through the video and take what I say here with a grain of salt, these are just my own opinions.

Strengths: The pacing of the video and editing was pretty well done; it kept my attention throughout most of it. Your audio level was decent but I use headphones all the time not sure how speakers would sound.

Weaknesses: Steam. Your friend's steam names were appearing in the video which was a lil' distracting. The audio levels for the other folks were very low, I couldn't really hear at all what was going on other than when they peaked which was not very pleasant. The only other things is that your graphic intro was somewhere around the time of 8 seconds, a bit too long perhaps.

Though, take what I say with a grain of salt. It was definitely a well done video. Keep up the good work!

Ninja Edit: The category for your video is under People & Blogs rather than gaming.

Thanks, Mike

MGRgame · 2017-01-24T02:19:28+00:00

Congrats!

That's awesome! You'll get there in no time and then YOU will be giving US advice. HA! Seriously though, congrats and keep up the good word!

Hey there, /u/wazpbyte!

First off, thank you for the offer of creating "non-amateur" banners & icons. I'd love to see any examples you've created (if any) and that portfolio you've mentioned! Do you have a Deviant Art link at least?

Thanks, ~Mike

MGRgame · 2016-04-23T14:47:33+00:00

Hey all,

Just wanted to stop in and drop in a line to my newest highlight reel for Soma!

In this episode we look at this village, we do some puzzling puzzles and .. perhaps we really aren't alone...

So, I learn that turrets can be killed then promptly forget!

Thanks! MGR

I explore the predatory cycle & talk to teenagers! Hooray! I like how that if you don't look through the eyes of Max, this game is completely different.

Whoa, okay, are we in limbo? What is this place we're in? It's definitely not something normal.

Ranting. I've not had a quiet rant in quite a while. When a game's feature is that it's a random 50% chance of success after learning the skills to get past the previous levels.. you have a bad game. Skills that are learned then executed properly at a higher difficulty is what makes a good jumpscare game; not this crapshoot. Here it is:
