Welcome to my blog where all my thoughts and ideas get put into text. |

The Overwatch League began its inaugural preseason today, and it's already off to a rough start.The stream isn't available on popular streaming websites YouTube or Twitch, and is instead featured on MLG which has no Chromecast support. This made it extremely difficult for me to even begin watching the stream, taking me an extra 30 minutes to explore all my options to see if I could stream the matches directly from my phone (I can't), and then go, turn on my PC, get everything set and stream the full site page from MLG to my Chromecast. Yes, full site page. There's no way to remove or hide the chat unless you install an adblocker, and direct the adblocker to the chat window. Seriously? Where's the TV support? How are people supposed to easily watch this major e-sports event comfortable in their own home, attached at the hip to their PC? Does no one at Blizzard stream to their television, and they somehow didn't anticipate that watching what's supposed to turn into a huge sporting event on your couch would be something people looked forward to? Do people now watch the Superbowl on their PCs instead of in large parties? Did I miss a memo somewhere? I was really looking forward to this whole thing, but now I'm more frustrated than anything else. I don't want to have to come home and go to my PC to watch something on my television, especially when the standard for every single Overwatch event previous has been for it to livestream on Twitch. This is a huge inconvenience, and will likely impact the viewership if they don't get it figured out. I'm literally writing this post instead of watching the stream because it made me so frustrated I don't even care about watching it right now. Blizzard. Seriously. Get some Chromecast/SmartTV support going on, let your viewers watch the streams from the comfort of their beds and couches, and let us hide chat. Not everyone likes seeing POGCHAMP spammed a hundred times in a row.

I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it! I've been very busy the past few weeks, in no small part due to my new ventures with video recording, editing, and drawing. What has me the busiest so far is definitely the drawing.
I've recently started doing commissions of player characters from the World of Warcraft, and it's going so great! I've completed four so far, with another one on the way. Hopefully, I'll receive another couple commissions before the month is out. So far, since I'm building the pose and the background from scratch, it seems to be taking me anywhere from 2-4 days, depending on the race of the character. This male Pandaren definitely took the longest, clocking in at 4 days total. My shortest was a female undead, taking only about 6 hours, followed by a female Tauren taking about 2 days. I'm creating an art portfolio on DeviantArt, and I'll add a link in the "About Me" section of this website, so stay tuned for those pictures getting uploaded. For now, here's a sneak peak at my latest completed commission! |
