What is your favorite thing about streaming? I love the idea of knowing people are watching my gameplay, but when I am acting all silly and such in my 1v1s I have gotten some touching messages that really keep me doing what im doing.
What do the majority of your viewers like to see you stream? They love to watch Halo Reach, and on top of that, 1v1's or 4v4 (turning point) Scrims. Since there is no MLG ranking system it is hard to get a large viewer base in playlist. (No competition)

What Monitor/TV do you use? I use an Asus 23' Monitor
