It all began when I noticed that one of the guys I used to play Destiny with back in Year One, NDS TaLoN, had become a full-time broadcaster. At the time, I was working as a Delivery Expert for Domino’s Pizza, and regularly pouring hours of my life into Destiny. I looked at where I was in my life and pondered, couldn’t I also become a full-time broadcaster?
After all, I was competitive at the game. I was confident that I could master the tools of the trade required to put on a broadcast. And God knows I could have used a solid cashflow that didn’t require me to keep trading against the life of my car.
I declared that if something took effort, I would capture it.
Never before has it been quite so easy to have an instant personal recorder. We can capture literally everything. This has huge ramifications: keeping oneself honest, cultural value, brand-building.
All competitive environments that allow for random interaction cast entrants into an immensely deep pool. Unwittingly, swimming with sharks. Readily apparent in Trials of Osiris, where we came up against some of the biggest names in the Destiny community by virtue of how the game’s match-making worked. Back-to-back games against Wish, GernaderJake, and other widely-respected players.
