EPTHiyo folks! My alias is Famous and I am currently a US ladder player and Gold Rank in 1v1 ladder (Terran). I play 4v4 (Platinum) quite often, as well as a few customs. On the off-chance that I'm not playing SC2, sometimes I showcase WoW (raiding) and dabble in PvP on Rift.
So that's the majority of the gaming content that I do. I also play music 95% of the time, mostly Dubstep, Hip-Hop, some Hardcore Rock, and so forth (generally music that you'd hear from streams like HasHe and egIdrA). If anything, you can watch my stream, enjoy some tunes, and maybe give me a few pointers to improve my game.
On a more personal level, my name is Jera and I am a full-time student at Wichita State University working towards my doctorate in Psychology - Human Factors. I work at the lab in that department where I get to train people on video games to see if we can develop programs that will help with some real life skills. My latest project is a level designed in the Half-Life 2 engine where players train for a few hours then take visual perception field tests to see if there are improvements (I'll go ahead and spoil it, yes, there is a correlation between playing FPS and increased radial vision).
In short, I am working to find practical applications from SC2 and be able to bring them into real life. One of the future plans for this stream is to start a broadcast that relates the principles of Psychology to Starcraft 2 and see how we can pull real life skills. I've written up several episodes with some content, but I am waiting on 1) A copy of Windows Office for PowerPoint, and 2) a Webcam to help with presentations. I intend on starting the shows sometime in August (when I have some extra money).
I thank you for reading this thread, and hopefully you'll tune on in. If you have any comments, feedback, or whatever, feel free to leave me a message.
- Jera
