I'll be posting here since this is more about game selection than anything else.

I've been thinking about this lately. All I do is livestream random games I pick up on a whim, but I want to become more serious as a livestreamer, so for that reason I'm seeking out advice. Namely im looking into a game to livestream on a regular.

Currently now im capable of livestreaming through a few platforms: PC, Xbox360, PS3, and WiiU. Within that I do carry quite a few games, and will be adding mroe into the fray.

In addition I wish to seek out more people in nation to continue community nights. Maybe see about hosting a Nation night on league of legends with us just messing around in customs, or just have fun on various games we may have on the same systems. There are various options and I'm seeking out opinions on the matter.

There are two ways of being a "serious" livestreamer:

a) Play the most popular games (LoL, Minecraft, new AAA releases) and lots of horror games and be as loud and obnoxious as you possibly can. It's perplexing why people like it, but it actually works.

b) Stick to more niche titles (WiiU is the very definition of niche so you got that covered already) have something interesting and on-topic to say. That's a smaller payoff with bigger workload, but you might end up with a small yet dedicated group of viewers.

Don't think Herro being loud is an issue. His voice was already pretty loud and overpowering when I was doing a livestream with Dischord in the background.

Frankly I'd rather stick with choice b. I thrive on the whole niche thing as that's what my youtube essentially is. Plus, being popular sucks imo I certainly don't like to be loud and obnoxious to do it. Would rather be kind and considering to my smaller viewers.

However that's just me, unsure what Herro's preferences are. Just shooting the shit at this point...

Well A probably wont work with me, as while I do have a loud voice as king stated I tend to not put myself in front in conversations/speaking. It leads to some pretty awfully long silences when I do livestream alone. But that's more of a personal social issue I have than anything else.

Honestly I wouldn't know too much about niche titles. I just play the games I enjoy and hope others are free to join me for community nights.
