What We’re Playing On Twitch – March 2019

Back in August 2018, I gave myself the task of livestreaming on Twitch throughout the month streaming the remainder of Overwatch’s 11th competitive season on the Centaku Media channel, which concluded at the end of August. Then I was sidetracked by con preparation in September, and Internet issues in October.

After relaunching Centaku Media, I’ve struggled as to whether to return to my “roots” of doing such a thing. While I do not like to encourage witch hunts of sorts, it has to be known of what the offending player did, because they can easily get away with their actions due to the fact that they are hiding behind a fictional 3D character with a name (and behavior) that one does not use in the real world when applying for a job, or buying a car.
