So I'm back. If you want a definition of what "back" means... I suppose I can try to explain. I've been rafting down the epic rapids of eSports for the past 3 to 4 years. Over the course of that trip I experienced many things I wouldn't ever want to give up, but I also experienced a bunch of shit I'm not necessarily proud of.
So I left LA. Obviously, after CGS closed (which ironically turned out to be a blessing). And I'm back in Nebraska. The same house that churned out thousands of hours of Q3/CS/WC3/etc.
But when I arrived here... I arrived with nothing... Just a computer.
See between 2001 and 2004 I built the "djWHEAT Shoutcasting Station". And between 2004 and 2008 it was completely raped by the companies I worked for. Most of that is my fault... cause I just wanted to get shit done. But the point was, I certainly wanted to be doing things like casting, EG, etc. but had nothing to do it with.
So I asked the Epileptic Gaming community to donate some cash. The main purpose was to "revive" Epileptic Gaming as a COMMUNITY show once again. If you're at all interested in how fucking awesome a gaming community can be read these: 1 - 2 - 3.
Now, before any fucking trolls go, "OMG DJWHEAT GOT LIEK 4 CENTS AND NOW HE NEEDS US" - that's not the case at all. The EG Community pretty much had the "djWHEAT Shoutcasting Station" up in less than 24 hours.
In reality, I think what I was missing more than anything over 4 years, was enjoyment in what I was doing. And now, back in Nebraska, I feel like more than anything, the community based casting and shows I was doing was bringing me the most enjoyment.
I'm about to give back to the EG Community by relaunching EG (it begins next week) - and now I want to give back to another community. The community that I put so much blood, sweat, and tears into... and then never got to really see that community benefit from "the big boys". So fuck them.
I'm going to do some work for various eSports organizations over the course of the next few months... but there's something much different about how it's worked in the past.
I WORK FOR MYSELF NOW.
I don't have to answer to a "station manager", a CEO, my own casters. I just wanna do my own thing.
And that's where you come in. I'm going to cast some Quake again. I'm going to cast things I enjoy... the games I like to play. I'd like to know from you guys what you would like to see in terms of coverage.
That means alot of things:
- What leagues? OSP or CPMA (both?)
- What kind of coverage would you like to see NOW that didn't exist back in the "prime" (when guys like me would go on air nearly every night). Do you want interviews, shows, just match coverage
- Do you just wanna have easy access to audio so you can watch it with GTV? Or do you want Q3 Video?
I've already had a few leagues approach me, and I'm not going to spread myself too thin. So here is a chance to be heard. What do you wanna see covered. I've already got access to a pretty hefty Shoutcast stream, and I'll likely be doing coverage off my djWHEAT.tv website.
I hope to hear from you... peace.

Amen!
Anything TDM/CTF. CPMA, of course - unless you mean VQ3 or CPM?
Gaming interviews are usually the same answers to the same questions, with the same awkward feelings. Shows/coverage/etc are all great.
Either.
