When I stream it has to be stuff I want to play at this point because I don't have the motivation to do otherwise

... I should be ashamed not to remember than considering only Frudgey and you ever gave a damn about Jojo's. Maybe it's because it wasn't the manga. :< Plus that doesn't mean "plenty", even if I remembered it. I'd have an excuse (since even Wave could be found watching one anime! What a spin).
Since we're on that, I'll have to get around Akira one day, but not sure whether to go for the manga or the movie, both being pretty different from my understanding. What would people suggest?

We have a new hire today. His last name is LeBlanc. I'm scared.

Both?
If it has to be one or the other, watch the movie. It's a major milestone in the history of anime and shouldn't be missed.
Also apparently Warner Brothers is trying to make a live action Akira. WTF.

You should be fine as long as you don't see any signals of malice.

Akira live action with modern special effects I think could work fine.
The movie I've always really wanted remade with modern graphics is Dune.
You could have some really sick cgi sandworm shit these days.

"Work fine" isn't a sufficient reason to remake a landmark film.
We could arguably remake the Mona Lisa in photoshop and it would "work fine". It would also be utterly stupid.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I don't really get why you continuously have this issue. A week should never burn you out.. Everyone knows solo queue is terror in ANY game. Just accept the thing for what it is, and try not to think too much about the bad games/ people

I think if they made it just as good or better then it'll be fine. The problem is we all know what they will do. They'll butcher the story, dumb it down and shit all over it just to cash in on name recognition. Big budget movies have too many assholes that don't know how to make stories but have a lot of money dictating how things go.

I think Requizen and Wave just don't like playing games against other people. Or against other people they don't know.
Any time they play a PvP game they "burn out" inside of a couple weeks.
And Monte, have some faith. The live action Kenshin movies are fantastic.

Akira was essentially the first anime movie to see worldwide success, and was crucial in bringing the medium (especially in movie form) overseas. It was, however, one of the most expensive anime movies ever made and didn't recoup its costs domestically. There were a number of anime films that had similar problems domestically despite big budgets, which lead to a lot of studios closing in the late 80s (Ghibli is one of the notable survivors).
It's also extremely well directed, beautifully animated, highly stylized, memorably scored, and filled with well-written characters. The plot is a little complicated/weird but fairly normal for sci-fi, and despite that gripping in the telling.

I don't trust Warner Bros.

The Kenshin movies were produced/directed/made by the Japanese, and simply distributed by Warner Bros. Akira is being made by Americans and we all know how that goes.

You might as well ONLY stream stuff you like; there doesn't seem to be a point putting yourself through something you don't want to do just for the stream. I think I'd rather watch something you enjoyed playing rather than a request that bored you.

Like I've already said, that's a rabbit hole I'm going to pour way too much of myself into for way too little effect (my own perfectionism being the determinant for how disappointed I end up being). Not to mention eventually I'll have to start studying and that time is getting ever closer.
I wish I could either send you the stream link or a full transcription of the "Art of the Table: GMing Beyond the Basics" panel I went to. Alas, 'twas not streamed and I'm not THAT good at taking notes.
One of the final messages though was "anyone can be a GM." I promise you could enjoy it if you wanted to, but (again) if you don't think you would then there ya go. Play for days instead.

And Monte, have some faith. The live action Kenshin movies are fantastic. I like playing against other players. I don't like playing against my teammates. By and far the most aggravating portion of any multiplayer online game are the players you play with.
Someone on the other team is being a dick? Outplay him and kill him, it feels good. Someone on your team is being a dick? Nothing you can do about it except try to ignore them, but if you ignore them and throw the game to piss you off well then there's nothing you can do about that.
I have no problem losing a game against someone who outplays me. I don't even have a problem losing to a jerk who is smack talking. That just means I have room to grow as a player. But there's no growth you can have as a player to make your teammates play better. Sure, you can get good enough to maybe carry if they're just bad, but when a team member plays like crap, throws on purpose, and then destroys team morale in team chat, you can only just kind of move on with the next game and there's nothing to be done.
I hate that. It's not even the person - I just hate feeling like there's nothing I can do. I hate when things out of my control make things worse. It's not just games either, I get easily frustrated when something annoying or bad is happening and I have no control over it. You should see how pissed I get at red lights.
And that's the worst part. I love League. I really do. The characters, the map, the eSports, the game itself - I love it all. But I get so annoyed at the shitters in the community that it just ruins the whole thing for me.
Sorry
