  1. A good group of PUBG streamers have their “fan base” is from former streams. Like one of the biggest PUBG streamers Daniel Kross has most of his fans from when he was a COD player. You missed talking about squad mode. Squad mode is a bunch of fun to watch and participate in.

  2. Question: I tuned into a Twitch stream of PUBG last night and I’m just wondering if the language used is similar to that used in Overwatch or is it “less controlled” ?

  3. Audiophile gear is a lifestyle choice, and that’s all. I like & respect Patrick a lot, and to be fair he’s not so far down the rabbit hole that he thinks $1000 speaker cables are a good idea. and of course everyone’s free to spend their money however makes them happy. but thats all it is. if they think they are getting a qualitatively better experience then they are kinda deluding themselves. But they are having a good time, and that’s great, all power to their elbows, but that’s all.

    Says the guy surfing the net on a 3 grand cg rendering rig – i need it man! for work? hell no, i’m an engineer! it’s for lolz… and benchmarks 🙂

  4. Love Norm, but how does he know that the gaming chairs on Twitch are not ergonomic? It would be great to test them, for sure.

  5. They already do live broadcasts of CS tournaments (for example) on TV. Is there something I missed about the Esports converstion or did you not know that?

  6. Oh and many hybrids have a button that lets you choose between performance and economy. (Volvo hybrids included.)

  7. Zach Radding this is my trailer build. In this photo it is actually parked in a marina in East Palo Alto Bay. I drove it down from Portland, OR for Tested The Show this past October. The door on the other side obviously and there is a kitchen in the hatchback rear.
