Drinking Whiskey and Playing Video Games: What the Fuck is THIS?!


HAY MY NAME IS JEFF.
 No really, it is.
 But let me tell you some about me. I grew up kind of knowing I wanted to work heavily in entertainment. The problem was that I wasn't always entertaining, but somewhere in the depths of my soul I had it. It just needed to get out of me.
I lived in Florida most of my life where old people go to die. Tourism is probably the largest industry in Florida, so naturally what else do you do when you get old? You just look at shit and walk around. Sounds perfect for tourism.
I decided though that I'd move to California to pursue a career in motion picture. Well, that's kind of on the backburner. After graduating grad school, I didn't know what the flying everloving fuck to do, so I felt it was best if I learned how to market myself. And that's how I found marketing.

Streaming on Twitch: How the Fuck did THAT happen?!

I've been streaming on Twitch since July of 2013. I literally called a friend up working at Fry's to ask if he could see my twitch stream from his phone. You should have heard me shout when it happened. You probably did. You just didn't know it was me.
But anygee, I decided after years of streaming on Twitch and my love for drinking whiskey and playing video games, that I would revamp my stream into something a little bit...different. If you've seen my stream before, it's nothing like it used to be. I did everything from the ground-up and I had a little help from some folks in the graphic design department.
But I've integrated a lot more than what you see here, and there's so much more behind the scenes than what you realize. It's a nightmare to keep track of everything, but I've had a blast integrating it all. In the future, you'll see video game reviews of a different nature here. If they're streamable, how they played, and other tidbits I'd love to share. I promise you though, you'll laugh.

 So without further ado, if you'd like to see what I have in store for you, please check out the stream. And if you haven't noticed...everything is disease-related.

Welcome to The DiZeeZ'D. The strain is alive! Thanks.

How to Tell if Someone is Viewbotting (and other malicious things)

There's an aspect of livestreaming video games that gets under my skin a bit. Viewbotting. A lot of streamers have done it in the past. In fact, I once caught someone viewbotting and looked at who the bots were "following." A laundry list of very familiar names showed up, many partnered accounts on Twitch with millions of followers. Well-known streamers making a living. It's definitely abused a lot on streaming platforms, sort of the "black hat" method of livestreaming. Thankfully, nobody I saw listed from those bot accounts was any streamer that I was supporting. I don't bother supporting anyone trying to find "get partnership quick" methods. If you want to build a business out of streaming video games , then please don't bother viewbotting. You'll eventually find you wasted your money and your community will likely abandon you. However, if you feel that someone is viewbotting, here's a few ways you can tell someone is

Twitch Los Angeles Meetup: One of the Best Events, Period

I'm kind of in awe. About two years ago, I attended a Twitch Los Angeles Meetup in Burbank. Back then it was still named Twitch Hollywood. But I knew I wanted to be a part of this because it was all about Twitch, video game livestreaming , and enjoying ourselves as gamers. Our last event, Saturday February 8th, was one of the best events I've ever been a part of. Small enough that plenty of folks knew each other, but large enough that we got deserved attention. Red Bull , Voodoo Ranger Beer , Need for Kneading , Twickle , artists, all sorts of companies came out. It was a fantastic night. We had a wonderful venue, the Hungarian Cultural Arts Center in Los Angeles. There were a few mishaps with moving in, but thankfully we were able to clear out whatever the previous guests were doing. Which strangely had to do with setting a bathtub on fire. People lined up around the block after parking about a mile away. We didn't think we'd get the attention
