I've started streaming my 1v1 ladder and usually go live around 04:00 GMT (+00:00) every night for a couple of hours. I'm player at ~1400 Masters.
I am a Program Director and Show Host for MLG and also the creator of State of the Game. Sometimes nerds like Day[9] will pop in to play Peggle and scream "FREE BALL!" constantly while I lose a TvZ, but generally its just me laddering.
Commercials will only be played when you join the stream as quite frankly I'm too lazy to type it every game (and forget to do it anyways) but really don't care to do it in the first place.
All music that is played on the stream can be seen in the Avatar box during matches so you never have to ask if you hear something you like.
I do talk the majority of the time unless I'm trying to focus or tilted Webcam will be on most nights, unless it starts lagging the stream.
Stream quality is 1080p, 36 fps, 3mb/s, and I play with low quality settings. Screenshot in spoiler or click HERE for direct link)
I do ban people instead of timeout if they're BM or asking for mod -- don't be a pain in the ass. I will always tweet when I am going live (Twitter Link)
Not sure what else to add in here so thanks for watching if you do and keep the thread manner!
P.S. Post will get moved whenever Kennigit or Hotbid wake up... or when another mod moves it. Sorry for posting in General :D
hey JP, some people also like to see the command card, maybe you should move your webcam to the space between the unit description and the unit portrait.
One of my favorite streams for several reasons: 1. Masters random is pretty cool, since you get to see a lot of different matchups at a reasonably high skill level 2. Chat isn't that fast, meaning you can actually discuss stuff 3. Pretty awesome music IMO 4. Spontaneous Day[9] coaching
I wish you would act more mannered when streaming. We know you're not the best player out there (I'm guessing you don't prac much) but I respect the fact that you play random. Please type GG when losing and don't ban people for pointing out that you don't GG.

You have some wishful thinking there buddy. Would you like him to offer a cup of tea and some biscuits after he beats an opponent?
What is up with people and their wound-up negative nancy personalities.
GG is just a foundational form of common courtesy. JP isn't from before SC2, right? (didn't he come from WoW), so it's not unusual to see him not GG, a lot of people don't do either.
Not the end of the world, but I understand Sina's POV

There is nothing wrong with Tea and Biscuits, maybe even a scone if your feeling particularly English

But JP GG's probably 90% of the time, if not more.

I love this idea of "coming from WoW" that people have somehow manifested into an actual thing.
I played SC:BW for 1-2 years, was never anything but a lurker in Clan X17, but then moved onto CS and Q3. I covered console games first for GotFrag (before the MLG acquisition) and then moved onto WSVG for WoW.
I'll definitely start streaming again once I get back to Galveston next Monday. I'll only be home for 7 days though before taking off to Raleigh. All through September I should be streaming, though.
Random Master. Now that's something that can't be denied. As a caster you definitely have credentials and actually know wtf are you talking about when casting. Respect.
You banned me from your chat after a tough loss - I was rooting you on the whole time but you caught my "you're starting to piss me off" as the game was coming to a close (close position ZvP on that one crappy new map). Sorry about that! I still love your stream and your play. Keep fighting the random fight, and don't let assholes like me keep you down

Oh yay! You rock dude, one of the few streams I can actually listen to without having to put on my own music
Can you, by any chance, unban my account in your stream? I enjoy looking at the chat and usually don't talk, but a couple of months before I said something stupid that got be banned.
thoughts on dead island? Do you think it's worth the buy?? I have some friends who play and i was watching your stream while you were playing and it looked pretty good.

Same here, missed it and would love to see it. Does TwitchTV even save the VODs like JTV?

No idea, I went to the video archive link on the front page, but I guess your saying it's on a diff. site?
Also, the people who made Dead Island should be thanking JP, I bought it b/c the co-op looks so awesome.
On a side note, anyone want to play some co-op? I'm ~|SensenmanN|~ on Steam, add me if you want to play. (another hour or so on my download)

The archive link only directs to his blip page where he has all the SotG stuff. JustinTV saves the past streams directly on the strem link, I have no idea if Twitch does that as well.
Edit: Damn I'm so blind, found the vods, they are on the twitch site.
I love the contrast between Day[9] playing skyrim like a nbewb and having fun by dropping his character off cliff (which was hilarious btw,), Destiny trying cute stuff and not getting anywhere with it, and JP who has Legendary weapons and armors and is eating dragons for breakfast now ^^
Currently streaming some Catherine, I really appreciate this. JP doesn't get enough attention!
It's some random game I never would have looked at but its JP being frustrated. Sometimes, you just get sick of SC2 and want something else.
Its funny because i'm pretending this is one of my old video game hangouts where we smoke weed and take turns playing, except it's with JP and I never get to play. So even though I'm being a loner, JP is my gaming buddy by proxy tonight!
I figured this was worth bumping his stream for. Keep up the good work JP.

haha yeah I definitely feel that sometimes being an only child.
Apparently, my friend thinks you are a pro at ARMA 2. He told me he knew of this really cool video where this guy (plus Destiny) pretends to be a noob to two wandering players, asks for their help, and says that he found something really cool in the distance. End up leading them into a trap. Pretty funny video. But I was pretty ecstatic when he loaded up the video and I was like "JP Macdaniel isn't a pro!"
You probably looked for "Roleplay" instead of "RollPlay". http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/games/399211-rollplay-d-and-d-campaign-show Some of the information there is a little outdated or err...some "things" (in spoilers) isn't updated to include more key changes etc. The videos looks updated at a glance but the new ones aren't always included in the opening post all that quickly, so you are best off following his Youtube.
