I said I'd post the tournament rules in a new blog! Remember, this is for fun!

Hey guys. I am so excited for today. First of all, here are the brackets!

http://games.firewalrus.com/imthorrbo/viewtournament.php?viewthistournament=24

If this tournament goes well I'm going to try and get the next one Riot-sponsored, so I'll have more RP to give out and the winner will receive the elusive Triumphant Ryze skin! You can't buy that!

You all have too many crazy schedules for me to set a hard time to start and finish. I'm going to go live as soon as I wake up and we're going to go top to bottom as soon as both people are ready to go.

So here we are.

Rules!

Map: Summoner's Rift
Lane: Middle - No jungle allowed! You can't kill jungle creeps!
Evidently this wasn't clear to some people. There are no backing restrictions, b as much as you want.
You can use every champion!
You can use every summoner spell!
The first person to do either of the following wins -
A) First blood!
B) First tower!
C) 100 cs!

Format!

Best of 3, single elimination!
Blind pick with manual bans! This means you type to each other (or me) the champions you're banning one by one, then make a custom game and go 1v1 blind pick.

uh i think that covers everything. if it doesn't just tell me and i can edit this when i'm live np.

Thorrbo's $5 1v1 Tournament! And seizure rambles

2013-05-26T04:34:00.001-07:00

Hey guys, it's 6:38 am and i seized a bit ago but im thinking fine, just can't sleep. And since i can't sleep i figure i might as well get this tournament shit on the road. oh god i have no idea what font sizes will look good. so without further ado: If anyone wants to make this into come kind of fancy looking infographic image thing, go for it. You'll be credited!

The imthorrbo.com $5 1v1 tournament event information!

Let me preface this by saying this is to have fun, bring everyone together, and bring in a bit of donations and stream awareness/popularity. If this is successful, expect these every month.

Tournament date - June 15-16 (Will be expanded if 32+)

Sign-ups! Available now until June 8th, brackets will be set up right after depending on how many people. You sign up by donating $5, if for some reason you want to make sure I actually get a full $5, make it $5.48. Here's the important part, though - MAKE SURE YOU PUT YOUR SUMMONER NAME IN THE NOTES. SERIOUSLY.

If, say, 18 people sign up and no one drops out, people 17/18 will get a refund if they want it. This trend holds true for 32+, etc. I just need 16/32/64 people, any less means brackets are weird and I don't wanna deal with that shit. I guess I can give like plat+ players byes or something I don't know.

I AM DOING THIS ALL BY HAND. I AM INTIMIDATED. FEEL FREE TO HELP.

What's that? You want some prizes? FINE. I can at least offer the first place winner a $20 RP card, hopefully I'll be able to offer more. Depending on how many people sign up, things will change. Nothing is written in stone. If anyone wants to be kind enough to donate RP codes or anything of the like, I'll be able to offer more prizes to lower placers, etc.

PLUS YOU'LL HAVE THE ETERNAL GLORY OF BEING THORRBO'S FIRST TOURNAMENT VICTOR. THAT IS PRICELESS.

I figure the best way to go about this, since everyone has different schedules, is to give the first round a five-hour~ period. In those five hours, I'll spectate and shoutcast as many games as I can, I think that'll be fun. You'll know the brackets a week beforehand so you can get in touch with your opponent and set up a time.

Worst case scenario, you both can't mesh on that day, and you do your game early, whenever you can. Not too big of a deal! Depending on how many people we have, how fast it gets done, and how smoothly the transition goes, we can get the second round in that day as well. These are variables I can not forsee.

The Rules of Engagement!

First of all, if you win, screenshot that shit. Seriously. Hopefully you'll all be true to your word and be honest about who won, but in case we have some rotten eggs in our midst, this will definitely make it easier on me if any conflict arises. If someone is (somehow) cheating, screenshot that shit, too. I don't know how anyone would possibly cheat but whatever.

Round one games will be Blind 1v1 Custom Games on Summoner's Rift. All summoner spells, champions, and items are allowed. We'll use three bans for each player for the semi-finals and finals, but for earlier rounds and simplicity's sake there will be no bans.

I think the all-star event did it right, so there will be three win conditions!

1) First blood! You get first blood and kill your opponent. Nice.
2) First tower! Less likely, but still viable. You outpush your opponent and take their tower and you win!
3) First to 100 cs! The closer someone gets to 100 cs, the more desperate the other person gets, so this is the least likely imo, but still a win condition!

All you need to do is get one of these and you win. Snag a screenshot just in case, but I'll update your bracket (manually) as soon as you tell me the victor!

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or ideas for me to improve on this, please let me know asap. I am very fucking excited to do this, I've always toyed around with the idea, now all that's left is to see how many people are interested! holy shit it's 7:33 why did this take me an hour to write.

One Year Anniversary

2013-03-31T15:32:00.002-07:00

Hey there, guys. I'm writing this going on two monsters and no sleep, so forgive me if I ramble. Tomorrow, April First, is going to be the one year anniversary of streaming for you guys.

A lot of you have been with me for a very long time, a lot of you have only been here for a few weeks, or a few days. I've done my best to stream every single day, high viewers or not, for at least a few hours to keep you all (moderately) entertained and to help out my family.

Without all of you, even the non-donors, my father would be in so much worse off than we're faring now. No amount of words can really express how grateful I am to everyone... even OaryGak. I owe all of this to all of you.

This site started out on /b/. A lot of you are cruel, heartless bastards, and I love every single one of you. You've been with me through thick and thin - nights with hundreds of viewers and nights with <5. Nights where I've raised -hundreds- because of your overwhelming generosity, and weeks where I've raised nothing.

I never thought this site would amount to anything like this, and we're only getting more successful from here. But remember - the best advertisement available is word of mouth! If you like me, tell your friends, tell your family, everything helps! Networking is key, and in that regard I need you!

But I digress, I'm here to tell you all how much I love and appreciate you. This community has grown at a monumentous scale, and it's because of all of you.

Tomorrow is my one year anniversary. I'm not sure what to do, I don't have anything too special up my sleeves that I don't do on a regular basis. If anyone has any ideas, feel free to join IRC or post on my facebook wall.

lol imaqtpie just popped his red elixir early.

anyway, i just wanted a new update. let's have a great night tonight, and a wonderful night tomorrow.

Thank you again. :D

Hello

2013-01-27T15:59:00.002-08:00

My father thought it would be a good idea to upload a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAWf3MOuci8

All right, guys. A lot of new people coming to this page are here under the impression that I've lied to you and that I'm a lying, worthless scumbag. I spent yesterday's marathon with an IRC absolutely infested with ban-evading trolls. It was easily one of the most miserable experiences I've ever had.

You've been misled.

Every claim against me is biased, twisted and circumstantial. I know how easy it is to jump on a bandwagon of hate, but please, I ask you to form your own judgements.

There are a lot of people claiming my father isn't even sick, a few even saying he's not even alive any longer, despite him showing up on stream three times yesterday.

I get asked a lot what type of cancer my dad had/has. I personally never knew. I only knew that it was necrotic. I went through his old documents when I woke up. It was/is Leiomyosarcoma.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leiomyosarcoma

For those of you who want a tl;dr, "Leiomyosarcoma is a relatively rare form of cancer, and accounts for between 5–10% of soft tissue sarcomas, which are in themselves relatively rare.[1] Leiomyosarcomas can be very unpredictable. They can remain dormant for long periods of time and recur after years. It is a resistant cancer, meaning generally not very responsive to chemotherapy or radiation. The best outcomes occur when it can be removed surgically with wide margins early, while small and still in situ.[2]"

I want to thank everyone who's been with me for so long enjoying the stream. To all of the people who stop in once or twice a month, say hi and leave, and to all the people who are here with me every night, through thick and thin, 4 viewers or 28 viewers. Every single bit of this community of mine is amazing.

I took some pictures of his documents and another picture of his healing leg. His medication has not changed and most of the damage is internal.

I'm sorry for not having this more documented before today.

Hopefully this will help assuage any doubts or misgivings you've had.

Marathon announcement and explaining the coming week!

2013-01-18T19:16:00.003-08:00

Hey, first things first, folks. This next Saturday, January 26th, I will be having another 24 hours marathon! Hopefully I'll be able to snag a bit of RP to give away to entice viewers both old and new, but don't hold me to that! I make no promises! It'll be 24 hours of me playing video games and being generally entertaining for your viewing pleasure, starting at nine am EST.

That being said, Spadewar has asked me to help out in a Cystic Fibrosis awareness week-long event. You can watch the youtube video for it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCS_NGENFeI&feature=youtu.be !All money they raise will be sent directly to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. A lot of maybes have signed up. Dozens of Rioters, HotShotGG and most, if not all, of CLG, Scarra, Protatomonster, maybe even Jesse Perring himself. I'm excited to help out in any way I can and possibly get my own name out there some more. Win/Win, yeah? :D

That being said guys, at the time of this writing we are still immensely behind this month. I assure you that every dollar counts, and $5 donations add up really quickly. But first and foremost, I love you, I just want you coming back as often as you'd like to enjoy the stream.

I like what I wrote last time for my explanation so I'm just gonna paste that!

About the stream:

I try to stream 10-15 hours a day. I do not take days off. If I'm not live, I just woke up, I'm about to go to bed, or I'm lagging too bad because of my ISP issues to deliver a quality stream.

Since I can only really advertise for League of Legends, and it has an endless replay value, that's what I tend to play. I've also been known to play Zeldas, Final Fantasies, Pokemon and a slew of other games (I've beaten Bastion, Dishonored, and Limbo recently, for example).

About my epilepsy:

I have a handful of seizures a month that leave me bed-ridden and dazed.

I am not light sensitive, my seizures are mostly stress-induced.

Most people grow out of epilepsy, I'm hoping for that to happen.

About my father:

My dad gets $1,400 a month from the government for his long-term disability (ruptured discs in his back).

My dad has a flesh-rotting staph infection that he (we're pretty sure) got from early-radiation on his opening wound after his cancerous tumor was removed from his leg.

http://imgur.com/0NiU8
http://imgur.com/ycxDB

He's on anti-biotics and pain medication and blood pressure medication and a slew of other things.

He's medicaid or medicare or whatever, honestly I don't know, cuts down on the prices a bit but there's still a large burden on us.

His pain medication is $400 alone, not including everything else he's on.

He's a great man. He got me into video games, Final Fantasies, Zeldas, EverQuest I and World of Warcraft. He's the original Thorrbo - a combination of Thor and Rambo.

I've spent my entire life leeching off of my father, I'm trying to do everything I can now to help him (us) live a more comfortable life.

About donations:

My main goal here is to make sure my dad has his medicine to stay comfortable and get better, to keep us fed, and to make sure we have a roof over our heads.

Every cent I raise here goes to food, medication and housing. More on housing below.

To further entice donations, I offer two things! For $10 I can take a shot of liquor and toast you or I can (terribly) sing you (and everyone else) a Disney song of your choice.

For those who say I waste money on liquor, and I do get one or two a week, I spend $37 on a bottle of Whiskey that holds more than forty shots, and it pays for itself in four shots. I have a good amount of people who ONLY donate for me to drink. Evidently I get hilarious or something.

If you would like me to do something else for a donation, just ask!

About housing:
Right now I live with my father (David) in his sister's (Linda) house. Their brother (Kevin), her husband (Dave), and their two daughters (Megan and Kristin) also live here. My uncle (Kevin) lives in the attic and hardly leaves, my father lives in the basement and hardly leaves. My cat resides with my father and is not permitted out of the basement.

My aunt is struggling to keep this house. Due to some poor financial decisions, they can't afford it on their own. My father has offered to help and is paying their bankruptcy ($900 I think?) in full, as well as their part of their mortgage and helping Linda buy us all groceries, $100 toward electric, some money towards cable, etc.

As far as I know, even with the bankruptcy being paid, the house is going to be lost either way and my father and I need to ensure we have a roof over our heads when that happens.

We don't have enough money to afford his medication let alone have an escape plan for when shit hits the fan here.

My mother and her boyfriend bought a fix-it-up house and decided to rebuild the house and rent it out for profit.

It was decided that we would just simply rent it from them, and in a few years (once they build/rent out more houses) we'd simply live there for free.

They grossly underestimated how much it would cost to rebuild that house, so once food and medication are covered, I am also helping my mother finish their first rent-out house or whatever you want to call it.

I'm essentially helping build my own place to live.

At the time of this writing, the house is slated to be finished by the end of February.

I'm doing everything I can to help my family. All of your support is appreciated and I am incredibly grateful. I can not thank you enough.

If you're new here and read through all of this, it'll answer most of your questions. Thank you!

It's 8 am, and since my last post was on Halloween, I figured I'd take another stab at something for everyone to read. I'm gonna try and update this at least every other week or so, but I think the best way for people to understand why I ask for donations is to have it up on the main blog - the average new viewer isn't going to be looking for a FAQ or a "Why should I donate?" page off the bat, you know?

I'm not a very big fan of the holidays, I haven't been for quite some time. I can honestly say that, for the first time in a decade or so, I'm something pretty close to happy, even if we are behind this month financially. You guys are here, every night. A lot of you guys have stuck with me, through thick and thin. All of the unfortunate lag (GOD DAMN IT COMCAST) and mishaps, the death-sprees and WaWa trips. I absolutely love the community we have and I look forward to seeing us grow little by little. Thank you, all of you - even you trolls.

I never know where to put this in my spiel, so I'll open up with it. I'm epileptic, and I'm uninsured because my mother ****ed things up. I AM NOT LIGHT SENSITIVE. I have 7-8 seizures a month, and because of this and the fact that it's illegal for epileptics to drive, I can not work a steady schedule for a job. This is my only source of income.

My father is sick. He was put on long-term disability when he ruptured two discs in his lower back 7 years ago, or 6, or 8. I don't really remember but it was a while ago, okay?

A few years ago, there was a nasty bit of cancer found in his leg. They operated to remove (most) of it, and it was successful, but it left a gaping wound in my father's leg post-op.

As part of his cancer treatment, they irradiated his leg but did it (as far as I understand it ) far too early for his wound. This resulted in him getting a flesh-rotting staph infection. Doctors were perplexed and this got a lot worse overtime.

I took this picture myself from the hospital, after it was cleaned. http://imgur.com/0NiU8

That was when it was at its worse. It was spreading throughout his body, his hands were scabby and covered with pus, he had to wear gloves to eat, drink, and pet the damn cat.

Things are looking much, much better now. My dad took this about a week ago. http://imgur.com/ycxDB

His leg is looking better but his medications and treatments are staying the same. Because of my dad's disability, he gets $1,400/mth from the government. Of this $1,400, $1,200 goes to my aunt to help pay for the mortgage/bankruptcy on this house, so that they don't lose it (as fast as they normally would) and we're not all homeless.

That leaves us with $200/mth to feed ourselves and pay for his medications. His pain medication alone, Morphine, is $400/mth. That leaves us with -$200 for food, his 3 other sets of pills, his pain specialist visits, his dermatologists visits, his physical therapist visits, etc. Negative $200 simply will not cover that.

So I'm trying to make the best of a mediocre situation and entertain people for the money my father and I need to live a comfortable life.

In a few months, despite our best efforts, and I'm still cloudy on the details, my aunt is going to lose this house. Because of that, and the fact that she refuses to let alyx live here, my father and I are moving. My mother and here boyfriend were already planning on building a house and renting it out for money, or selling it, etc. It's been decided that my father and I will move into this house instead.

In order for my mother and her boyfriend to finish this house on time for us, she literally needs thousands of dollars because they underpriced it and underestimated how much it would cost. Money raised will also be going to the construction of my new house for my father, Alyx and I to live in.

Money raised will also go to FURNISHING that house. When we move in there will be nothing. No furniture, fridge, microwave, toaster, anything.

So, in summary, here is why I stream for 5-10 hours every day. Here is why I'm doing my marathon. here is why I need your help.

Food
Dad's medical costs
Mother's "build-me-a-house-so-I-won't-be-homeless" fund
Furnishing said built house

I'm worried about my father's health. I'm worried about my living situation in the months to come.

All I want to do is live a comfortable, simple life. I'm doing everything I reasonably can to make that a reality, and I'd really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Marathon day!

The General forums are THE ONLY PLACE I'm advertising this. If you want to help, please upvote and bump the thread every few minutes to keep it on the front page!

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=30743202

I heard through Quex that I can NOT advertise on Reddit again, as asking for donations breaks the rules. Mods have not personally contacted me though. I'm going to be cautious, however.

Is this your first time here? Don't forget to like me on facebook! It's my main form of communicating with all of you. www.facebook.com/thorrbo

From 7 AM PST/10 AM EST I'm gonna be streaming for 24-hours for my father and I. I'll take shots and sing songs for donations, I'll commentate all of my games, I'll run viewer/community ARAMs and I'll do it all for 24-hours nonstop. Basically just another average day on the stream... an ENTIRE day.

This marathon is gonna be my fifth, and my hardest, I think. I didn't sleep very wlel last night, my schedule was all whacked up. GOnna be doing this on only 4~ hours of sleep.

If you have any questions, please ask!

Of this $1,400, $1,200 goes to my aunt to help pay for the mortgage/bankruptcy on this house, so that they don't lose it (as fast as they normally would) and we're not all homeless.

That leaves us with $200/mth to feed ourselves and pay for his medications. His pain medication alone, Morphine, is $400/mth. That leaves us with -$200 for food, his 3 other sets of pills, his pain specialist visits, his dermatologists visits, his physical therapist visits, etc. Negative $200 simply will not cover that.

So I'm trying to make the best of a mediocre situation and entertain people for the money my father and I need to live a comfortable life.

In a few months, despite our best efforts, and I'm still cloudy on the details, my aunt is going to lose this house. Because of that, and the fact that she refuses to let alyx live here, my father and I are moving. My mother and here boyfriend were already planning on building a house and renting it out for money, or selling it, etc. It's been decided that my father and I will move into this house instead.

In order for my mother and her boyfriend to finish this house on time for us, she literally needs thousands of dollars because they underpriced it and underestimated how much it would cost. Money raised will also be going to the construction of my new house for my father, Alyx and I to live in.

Money raised will also go to FURNISHING that house. When we move in there will be nothing. No furniture, fridge, microwave, toaster, anything.

Money raised will also go to actually getting my girlfriend here. I live just outside of Philadelphia, in New jersey. Alyx lives in CA. That's a bit of a walk. She has an iguana who she loves like a daughter, they are inseparable. Iguanas are not allowed on public airlines are carry-ons, so the most viable solution is to drive her here, which will run me about $1000 in gas. Depends on the car, really. not to mention actually finding someone who's willing to do it.

So, in summary, here is why I stream for 5-10 hours every day. Here is why I'm doing my marathon. here is why I need your help.

Food
Dad's medical costs
Mother's "build-me-a-house-so-I-won't-be-homeless" fund
Furnishing said built house
Getting my girlfriend here, where she belongs.

I'm worried about my father's health. I'm worried about my living situation in the months to come. I'm worried about getting alyx here.

All I want to do is live a comfortable, simple life. I'm doing everything I reasonably can to make that a reality, and I'd really appreciate your help. Thank you.

Marathon today! New blog post!

I have two reddit threads going! r/gaming and r/leagueoflegends, I'm trying to maximise exposure for today. Please help out by upvoting/commenting/doing whatever!

http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/z6u5u/epileptic_streaming_24h_for_a_good_cause_league/

Today's agenda: 24 hours of video games with the goal of raising money for my father, my future home, and getting my lovely girlfriend (and the coder of this site) here.

http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=28852123#post28852123 League of Legends thread! Needs upvotes/comments!

At 10 am EST I'll be streaming for another solid 24 hours. During these 24 hours you can expect League of Legends Normal draft, Ranked draft, and ARAM with viewers! Maybe an ADAM or two (All Draft, All Mid).

I will also be playing a three heart run The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - but the emulater has crashed on me a few times, and I'm playing it on an xbox controller so it's not nearly as smooth as it could be. But hey, everyone loves Zelda!

Later on in the night, if there's interest, I also have the entirety of Pokemon Season One downloaded, so we can nostalgia out and watch the FUCK out of that.

The most successful marathon I've ever had raised $660 of our $500 goal. Our last marathon raised $325 of our $500 goal. My goal for today will be to raise $600, but I'm gonna need your help to reach that. Obviously.

For those of you who are new here, or who aren't well-versed in why I stream my ass off, I'll fill you in as best I can.
------------------------------------
I never know where to put this in my spiel, so I'll open up with it. I'm epileptic, and I'm uninsured because my mother fucked things up. I AM NOT LIGHT SENSITIVE. I have 7-8 seizures a month, and because of this and the fact that it's illegal for epileptics to drive, I can not work a steady schedule for a job. This is my only source of income.

My father is sick. He was put on long-term disability when he ruptured two discs in his lower back 7 years ago, or 6, or 8. I don't really remember but it was a while ago, okay?

A few years ago, there was a nasty bit of cancer found in his leg. They operated to remove (most) of it, and it was successful, but it left a gaping wound in my father's leg post-op.

As part of his cancer treatment, they irradiated his leg but did it (as far as I understand it ) far too early for his wound. This resulted in him getting a flesh-rotting staph infection. Doctors were perplexed and this got a lot worse overtime.

I took this picture myself from the hospital, after it was cleaned. http://imgur.com/0NiU8

That was when it was at its worse. It was spreading throughout his body, his hands were scabby and covered with pus, he had to wear gloves to eat, drink, and pet the damn cat.

Things are looking much, much better now. My dad took this about a week ago. http://imgur.com/ycxDB

Why I do What I do Part Two!

2012-08-07T15:53:00.003-07:00

I get asked a lot by fresh eyes why I ask for donations!

I used to do a verbal spiel every hour or so but I think it'll be a lot easier to explain my situation here.

My dad is sick and I'm worried about him. He has a flesh-rotting staph infection thats fucking with most of his body. It's more under control now than it was a few months ago, but he still can't sit for more than 20 minutes or so at a time, his hands are constantly in pain and itching and sore and covered in blisters and pus, the flesh around his original wound is still oozing, black, rotten, and dead.

My dad is on Long-term disability from when he ruptured two discs in his lower back 7 years ago. he gets $1,400/mth from the government. Of this $1,400, $1,200 needs to go to my aunt to pay for their bankruptcy and help pay the mortgage, or they lose the house. We also need to give them an extra $100 this month to help pay the electric, my air conditioner evidently jumped the price up $150. SO THAT'S FUCKIN GREAT.

Moving on, we're struggling here. We don't really have money to cover his medical expenses or feed ourselves. His pain medication alone is $400/mth until his pill plan kicks in, which is the end of October.

My aunt is going to lose this house anyway in 3-4 months. My only failsafe to have a place to live is putting faith in my mother. Her and her boyfriend are building a house for us to live in. My mother tells me that if I don't help out SIGNIFICANTLY FINANCIALLY that she will not have the house completed by December. We're talking thousands of dollars and there's simply no way I can afford that, but I need to help how I can.

I also just spent $850~ on a new computer that is being build, because my old rig completely fried in a storm. What I'm using to stream now is a borrowed rig and is not mine.

I'm epileptic, so I'm making the best out of a mediocre situation since I have no real source of income. All I ask is that if you enjoy your time with me, and would like to help me out, to show me some love via paypal. I have three incentives to help entice you in your generous endeavors.

1) GIVEAWAYS! For every $5, you get a raffle ticket. At the end of every month, I'm going to be giving shit away. Autographed mousepads, gamepads, collector edition's Zelda books, shit like that. Nimrod gave me a bunch of shit to give away this way, so by helping me, I help you!

2) TROPHIES! The highest donor at the end of the month is going to get a physical, literal trophy mailed to their hosue, saying how fucking awesome they are and that they were the highest donor for the month of X. July was Ashe_100!

3) DRINKING! Evidently you guys like me drinking, so every night for $x I will take a shot, provided I'm not going to put my health at risk. This is usually what most people donate for anyway.

If you have any questions, please let me know. I'll try and clarify anything and everything.

Doing my best to raise funds for my father and I. My dad has a flesh-rotting staph infection that's affecting pretty much all of him. money is ridiculously tight and, because of my epilepsy, I'm struggling to make any amount of income whatsoever.

I had a seizure this morning, a small one, and I'm going to be playing League of Legends (maybe FF7) for 24 fucking hours on 3-4 hours of sleep. It's gonna be great!

New raffle month for the month of August. Last month's winner was Ashe_100, and he'll be getting a sicknasty trophy to commemorate his abundant generosity!

Honestly I'm not thinking very clearly right now, I'm still weary from my episode this morning.

idle musings.

2012-08-03T01:24:00.000-07:00

Oh hi.

before I get started I want to go on record saying I'm due for a seizure tonight and I make no promises as to whether or not I explain my situation and thought process in a coherent fashion.

All right, my rig should be up and running tomorrow night. Friday night. If I'm lucky, and I'm banking on me being lucky. I put a poll up, but it seems like most of you want me to stream for a few hours, then get some sleep for the marathon this weekend, instead of just calling it off.

I miss all of you. I feel like I've done nothing but sit back and waste my time where I could have been making myself useful and entertaining all of you. So again, my apologies. Once money lets me I'm going to be taking every caution in protecting my rig from future disaster.

I've been hit with a lot of setbacks in this last week, not to mention the fact that it's been ridiculously boring for me. I've spent most of my hours in bed on facebook chat, seriously.

My dad's slapped some unsettling truths on me recently too. I'm going to use this blog to briefly go over them.If you come here just for my humor and video game content, and aren't interested, feel free to stop reading here.

Most of you know that I'm (Dave) living with my father (David) and his sister's (Linda) family - their brother Kevin, her husband Dave (Furter), her daughters Kristin and Meagan. My mother and I are on uneasy terms because she's made some terrible decisions in her life recently and we're working through that.

My mother is having her boyfriend literally build us a house to stay in. They'll own it, we'll pay rent, and everyone wins. The main reason we can't be in an apartment now is because we can't afford the down payment. And if we leave they lose the house we're currently in because they can't afford the bankruptcy/mortgage.

But our end goal is this house. My mother has been 'borrowing' money from my father and I (an absurd amount, but it's for my father and mine and Alyx's future...) to finish the house in time for us, because eventually the Furters will lose this house anyway. Which brings us to my next point.

My father accidentally opened up mail the other day he thought was for himself, but was for his sister. It was an eviction notice or something of the sort saying that we have 60-90 days to leave the premises. obviously this is troubling. his sister blew it off as if the lawyers got something wrong and we were good, no problems at all, but I remain unconvinced.

I don't really have a plan of action other than banking on my mother to finish building this house so we can get out. My computer set me back $700 this week just so I could get back and up and streaming for you guys, and I haven't exactly been making a killing since I've been offline.

My father estimates my mother is going to ask for $4,000~ from us to ensure the house is finished by Christmas. I simply don't have that kind of money, and there's no way I'm going to make that money from this site, so she's shit out of luck on that end.

That's $4,000 plus what we're paying here + medical expenses for my dad which is my main concern + getting Alyx here.because I love here and I miss her and she belongs here instead of that insane asylum she's living in right now, damn it.

In summary, here is where every single cent I earn through this website goes, in order of most urgent to future concerns.

1. My father's medical expenses. His medication, his medical supplies, his doctor visits.
2. My mother, building my future and more-than-likely permanent home and feeding my father. Buying him his juice and yogurt and milk of magnesia and shit, you know.
3. Feeding myself.
4. Getting Alyx here. She has an iguana so we have to drive from CA to Philly instead of fly, it's quite expensive.
5. Hookers and blow.

I don't know where I'm going with this, honestly. Everyone in my life needs money from me. My dad lives in near-constant pain and I think he's more depressed than I am. My mother must be under the impression I'm pulling six figures a year with what she asks of me. Alyx has no other way out of her house unless I somehow come up with the grand~ to get her here. Food is an issue.

I guess I'm gonna need to stream my ass off to make up for the last week and meet everyone's expectations.

I hope you all enjoy. :D

sorry for the inconvenience.

Why do I do what I do?

2012-07-18T15:26:00.002-07:00

Hey guys,

tl;dr: dad sick, need money for meds and food.

A lot of people have been asking me why I don't have my whole spiel about donations and my father in text/writing. When I first proposed that idea to stream, I had a few people tell me I'd come off as a whining beggar faggot. I've since been convinced otherwise, so I'm going to explain (in detail) why I ask for donations while I stream for you.

My father has been on long-term disability now for seven years or so. While working in for a glass company, he bent down to pick up an 1/8 inch piece of glass and ruptured two discs in his lower back. He's been on disability since, and he receives $1,400/mth from the government as part of his LTD deal or whatever, since he can hardly walk and can't do heavy labor and such.

Two~ years ago, my father discovered he had cancer as well, in his leg.They operated to remove and he was left with a gaping surgical wound. Doctors irradiated his leg as part of standard treatment on his open wound - which, unless I misunderstand, other doctors told them not to do. This is the most likely cause of the staph infection he has, but it's nearly impossible to prove where you get staph infections.

Which brings us to our main problem: my father has a flesh-rotting staph infection thats eating away at his entire body. His hands are scabbed, bloody, pus-covered messes. I need to change his bandages at least twice a day, and he needs to wear gloves to do anything (pet our cat, drink out of a glass).

For pain, he's been prescribed morphine. His "pill plan" doesn't kick in until the end of October, so until then, the morphine alone is running us $400.

We have $200 to work with.

So, after buying the morphine, we have negative $200. With that money we have to buy his other medications (Gabapentin, cream, etc) his hospital visits, his pain specialist visits, his dermatologist visits, his physical therapist visits, and his other medical supplies. As well as feed ourselves.

To put it simply, we can not afford that, especially with negative two hundred dollars.

I'm epileptic. I have 7-8 seizures a month, about two a week. They leave me dazed, weary, stupid, and almost unable to walk or function properly. So if I have a seizure Sunday night, I can't work Monday morning. Combined witgh it being illegal for me to drive until I go a year without a seizure, this makes money a problem.

My only source of income is donations from this website. No ads, no site revenue, etc. Practically 100% of the proceeds go to my father's medical bills or feeding us. Now, in addition to the warm, fuzzy feeling you get for helping us out, I have three incentives in place to help encourage your generosities.

The first applies to everyone: raffle tickets. For every $5 you donate, you get a raffle ticket. At the end of the month I'm gonna give away an autographed mousepad to the winner of said raffle. It's nothing huge, but I'm trying to give a little bit back to you guys. Plus everyone loves chances to win stuff.

The second applies to one person a month: the highest donor. The higher donor at the end of the month is gonna get a fuckin' trophy mailed to them. Real and literal, it'll say you were the highest donor for the month of July and how fucking awesome you are. Currently the lead for July is Camel of Doo with $100.

The third applies to what seems like most of you: liquor. I don't drink very much and I've only been drunk once. Most nights I'll do shots for every $xx donated to my father and I. A lot of you enjoy seeing me drink and play video games, so there it is.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about anything at all, please bring it up in IRC.

tl;dr: dad sick, need money for meds and food.

I'm really fucking sick of my marathon post being my most recent post.

Hey guys!

Doing another marathon this weekend. Gonna set our goal at $500 again, like last time. We came up short last time ($450) so I'm hoping we can reach our goal this time around.

Again, I'll probably play mostly League of Legends. I have a set up for Master Quest as well, but my xsplit derps a lot. Maybe some FF7 if I can get it set up, and I can pretty handily download whatever ROM for SNES and similar things, so that's not really an issue.

Still collecting donations for the raffle! It ends at the end of my marathon where winner(s) will get prize(s). Things along the lines of autographed mousepads and such. Fun stuff, really!

I'm going to be building up to this marathon, I'm quite excited to be honest.

Hey guys,

Just went offline about 20 minutes ago. Last night (20~ hours ago from now) I laid awake in bed and thought about a lot of shit I could do to help promote/advertise/encourage donations. Most of it is rambled, jumbled thoughts with no rhyme or reason attached to it. So I'll try and just jot down everything that came to mind.

This is basically my job. I put in more hours streaming than anyone I know who works. I know it's not a big boy job, but I'm doing the best I can with my mediocre circumstances. So, this being my only source of income and my only source of time spent, I'd like to make it a better experience for everyone. More fun for return viewers, more fun for me, more fun for fresh eyes.

First I thought about merchandising. Just having a shitty little 'Store' tab where instead of donating $15, you could buy a T-Shirt for $15.

Just something simple. Buy a plain white Tee, then do something fancy to it that's Thorrbo related.

Then I glanced over at my A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) series of books. And the thought struck me - I knew what the Tee-Shirts needed on them.

House Thorrbo needs a sigil(logo).

Something simple. Preferably something I can easily stencil/sketch. Something recognizable, Thorrbo related or video game related, or original, I don't give a fuck. If you come up with something I like, I'll use it, and I'll think of something to make it worth your time, of course.

I'll also use this same sigil as the OP for my threads, and I'll ask everyone who makes/maintains threads for me to use the image as the OP as well. Threads will eventually become more recognizable, and in the end, our goal is draw in more fresh eyes, more people for irc, more people to entertain, have our community (albeit a small fucking community) grow a little bit more every day.

Then I realized that the smart thing to do to support me would be to just buy an asinine amount of T-Shirts instead of just plain donating. Then the cost of buying Tee-Shirts, time spent mocking them up and shipping, and shipping costs would just lose me revenue overall, and I'm supposed to be helping my dad here, so why lose revenue?

But the sigil thing stuck. I still want a logo.

So I figured, well shit, if the store thing is a shot-down idea (if someone can justify it, I'll do it still, I justthink it's a wrong turn) then what else can I do to entice further donations and generosities?

I got it. Raffles.

For every $5 donated this week (and all weeks to come) you get one entry in the raffle. So if you donate $10, two entries. Donate $35, seven entries. Donate $5, one entry. But even if you only have one entry, you still have a chance to win.

Depending on the number of entires/names, I might even do multiple prizes.

Speaking of prizes, I have absolutely zero idea what I'll be giving away or what the prize is. Maybe RP cards, but probably not. Something physical. A memento of sorts. Autographed mouse pads come to mind. But obviously if the winner of the raffle decides he doesn't want what I have to offer, (s)he can just give me an alternative thing to ship, and so it shall be done.

I want to do a marathon again. Soon. Like in a week. I need thread makers/maintainers. People using auto-bumpers, etc. A few of you have done this for me recently and it's done wonders to bring in fresh eyes. Thank you. I'd like to have this running 24 hours. Maybe even multiple threads, though that might be seen as too much spam for moot to really let slide.

So if you have any cool/interesting ideas for things to offer as prizes, ways to promote the site, or anything of the sort, please - contact me. My email is iamnotthorrbo@yahoo.com. My Skype is just "Thorrbo." I add pretty much anyone and everyone. Talk to me. We'll work things out, has things over, and maybe your idea will help out my father, myself and Alyx to live more comfortably.

I can not express enough how fucking amazing you all are for helping me out as much as you have. Seriously.

I also want more variety for my stream. I'm happy I branched away from League, it really is fun as -fuck- to play through A Link to the Past, even if I have no idea what I'm doing and I embarrass myself.

I can stream stupid shit like Magic: The Gathering. Reading a fucking book. Movie nights, shit like that. I'm open to any and all ideas really. Speak your mind.

I guess that's all for now. Thanks if you read up until here!

I need your help.

Thorrbo here, obviously. I haven't been streaming much (re: at all) and I miss all of you. Really, I do! But I'm trying to fix things. I want to do a 24-hour marathon soon, again, but the focus being on games I haven't really played. Super Meatboy, IWBTG, LoZ:OoT:MQ, FF1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, etc. I need game suggestions, help with emulators, and people to make and bump threads.

People like Wolffag.

But I really doubt anyone can auto-dump like that motherfucker. Man I miss him. But I have this feeeling where, if I'm streaming 24 hours, I don't wanna be making and bumping threads... but the threads will need to be there, how else will word get around about the site? You all came here from /b/. Let's bring more people here and shit.

Blogger doesn't let me skip lines when I post.

That sucks.

Anyway, that's the basics. More to come.

SUPPLIES!

This is what I've been doing while I've been sick. I got to Level 60 Hardcore in Diablo 3. I'll be back to streaming maybe today, definitely tomorrow. I love you all.
