Dawn of War Codex

Hello everyone,

I've decided to try and make the streaming thing a little more regular than what it is now. I'm planning on doing it once per week with certain themes in mind not just Dawn of War II (mostly) or Company of Heroes 2 (less of), however this will probably be the focus. Fridays (between 9pm and 12am 10+ UTC) or Saturdays (same as Friday) making it your Thursdays and Fridays.

Some of the other things will be networking related sort of tutorials I suppose for those that may be interested as well as doing activities that may appear to be mediocre like creating music playlists and generally hanging out. I really enjoyed the last stream that I did, everyone was talking to each other which I really like to see which has prompted me to do it a little more often rather than once every 2 months. The music thing actually came about when I found an old archive of old mixtapes that I used to listen to when I was a teenager just tonight. I've gotten some quite good reception on the music that I play during my streams which I find really encouraging. I don't have time to do this during the week however so I'm sort of reserving this these two days in mind.

Leave feedback or not, I really don't mind as that wasn't the intent but more of an announcement than anything.

I would appreciate it, I really like your stream especially since you are one of the few streamers who are playing 1v1s

Thought you would abandon DoW until they fix the lag issues for you Australians though?

More streaming (esp 1v1s) is always great. By all means though stream whatever you want though. As for suggestions, if we could be able to check out your vods after live stream that would be great.

Twitch has gotten quite strict on use of music in streams now and its getting annoying though :/

This be like middle of the night in Yurop

9 pm would like midday in central europe me thinks.

I should clarify what I meant by the times. Those are starting times, it's a big window I know but I may not necessarily be able to start at 9pm but it would be no later than 12. Let's say for this Friday I'm going to start streaming at 10:30 and playing at 11 and I'll work out the rest later on.

It actually isn't in the middle of the night either for the European's. It's in the middle of the night for me, subtract 9/10 hours from 9pm and it would be 11am/12pm for the UK. Even if you were at UTC+5 my 6pm would be your 1pm, no?

I had said that when I was quite annoyed with the massive amounts of lag, which I still am but after considering some of the things that relic/sega may have to go through with Amazon I'm more inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. A fair few of the larger businesses are going to get as much as they can from you by providing as little as possible.

Which is why I suspect there isn't one purposed for battle servers all the way down under (besides having a very low population). Rental costs start racking up but on the other hand Sega is very large itself it just depends on what they're willing to provide to Relic to make the playing experience more enjoyable.

Have said that I still won't be playing Dawn of War II for a little while longer. It's not that I hate Relic or anything, it's that I won't be playing in those conditions unless I have to. As I've said before I'm going to make it the focus and Coh2 as a side game that I'd like to get good at at the same time.

I'll make that a habit, however there's a quite a lot of copyrighted music that I listen to such as Katy Perry (not even a guilty pleasure) as well as a lot of the other songs in the play list that I've been using for streams. I've seen my vods after I finish and you can see that there's this giant ugly red bar that indicates that it's been muted. So I'll still save them/make them public but don't expect to hear anything for portions of the stream. If you tune in at the right times then you'll be able to hear everything as per normal

I'll be announcing it via the elite mod even creator thing each time anyway.
