Live on the Internet

Most of our lives these days are impacted in some way by the internet.  Whether it's blogs like this, or people posting pictures on Instagram, or sharing what they did today on Facebook.  Our lives are constantly being shared with lots of people every day.

Thinking of that is both terrifying and amazing.  We can instantly share something that is 100 miles away, 1000 miles away, or halfway around the world.  Me being down here by myself with no friends around makes stuff like this key.  Without it, I would have already gone more insane than I already am.

One of the things that I'm starting to do is streaming when i'm playing games.  Now, I'm not trying to be one of those Twitch people with thousands of followers that is making their living off of that stuff.  That's not me.  Heck I don't even have a functioning computer any more, so I could edit a video to save my life.

I just want to share my experience with some friends that want to watch a game get played.  I'm not out to be super entertaining.  It's hard to talk by yourself to people that you just hope are there paying attention.  The games that I plan on playing are mostly story based anyways so talking to much would kind of be annoying anyways.  That was my plan all along!

But this is also to help me get through games that I have purchased and never played.  That sounds like it wouldn't be a lot, but it is.  I'm currently playing Tales From the Borderlands.  i heard it was good, and so far I'm enjoying it.  But I probably would have never gotten around to it without streaming.

How long I'll keep it up, or how frequently I will do it I'm not sure yet.  I want to do it every Wednesday at least for now.  Maybe try some during the weekend.  I found that I had to enable stream archiving on Beam this morning so that's enabled.  I'll have to go to Twitch if I do anything on the PS4 which is fine.  So if you happen to see MyNiceIceLife is streaming just know that it's me and that I'll probably bore you to sleep.  If I do, I'll consider it a service!

The Early Years

When I was born my parents lived in a mobile home in Hilbert, WI.  They had a cat before I was born and it didn't take to kindly to having me around all of a sudden.  They had to get rid of it as it had a tendency of trying to sleep on my face, which a baby tries enough to kill itself when it's young but having a cat, unintentionally I'm sure, trying to help with it wasn't good.  After awhile they decided they needed a bigger house and rented one in Bay Ridge which is in Appleton, WI.  They didn't actually sell the mobile home, but rented it instead so they were able to make some money from that as well as their jobs. My earliest memory was when I was three and I was playing with some Matchbox cars on the floor in the morning and my mom in a rush to get to work accidentally stepped on one of my favorite cars, crushing it.  An odd memory to be your first, but none the less that's what it is.  My best friend while living there was a girl name Ashley.  ...

Opening My Mouth

When I was younger and getting bullied, one of the things I was encouraged to do was talk to the guidance counselor.  Normally this is a good thing to do.  If you're in trouble you should talk to someone that can help. Now, I won't say it's the counselor's fault, but talking to her did not help at all.  In fact all it really did was cause everything to get worse.  At some point I just stopped talking.  I made some changes, got some payback, and the one time it started happening during my Freshman year, I didn't last too long before taking matters into my own hands (well fist). The one thing that I (unfortunately) learned from that was that saying how I feel is a bad thing.  I know I've most likely talked about this before, but it is really important.  It's something that has never really disproven itself over my life. I take the 2 instances I've told someone that I like them.  Yes, there are only two instances that this has happened.  Both...

Thanos Was Right

Spoilers for Avengers Infinity War Below First off, a movie is a movie.  It's fake, and even when it's based on true events it is still fake.  But sometimes you see something about a movie and it makes you think about the modern world and human nature and it kind of makes you think.  Avengers Infinity War would not really be one of those movies but then I saw this article and I actually had to disagree with it. The article argues that Thanos' solution of eliminating half of the universe's population was a plot hole.  If he had ultimate power, why wouldn't he just double all of the resources?  The simple answer is that the movie needed a villian and Thanos was already established, and though he did it because some lady didn't want him (that lady being Death) in the comics, they still gave him a good "evil" reason to do it in the movie.  He witnessed his planet destroy itself as it exhausted its resources even after he warned them that it was going ...
