Computer Games and/or Twitch Stream anyone?

Just figured I'd ask since it never hurts to meet new peeps! I'm a long time computer gamer (mainly RPGs & MMOs but I dabble in other stuff) and recently decided to get into some live streaming as well to help break some of my introversion. If anyone wants to watch, talk, play a game or trade tips on becoming a better streamer let me know!

Oh right, gotta mention my channel!

and do everything solo (which is what I prefer) if you go cleric-druid and there is lots of funny extra content. Give it a try. It is free. And if you want to throw money at it to get yourself a giant pink chocobo to ride you can, but you can do all the important content without putting in a dime, and you can make all the in game money you need just buy farming drops and the random plants/wood/minerals you come across while leveling and putting everything on auction and when it does not sell put it back on auction again and again---I am up to 600 platinums in 2 months without actually doing any work which gives me plenty of money to buy things like weird costumes and bunny and rabbit companion pets just because. Oh, and my title is Dance With Squirrels because that is a real quest. Word of warning, stay away from PVP, because there are a lot of jerks on the PVP servers.

Helps me pass the time until the FFVII reboot is finally released which, given its track record so far, will probably be the day before the rapture.

But I never understood why people watch the Golf Channel, either

If you're going to sit there and watch it, why not just do it?

the Twitch players can play so much better than me and they are fun to watch, like NFL and NBA players.

You can learn to play your character better by observing more experienced players.
