I just don't get it. I can't imagine anyone would be interested in watching me play video games, nor am I interested in watching other poeple play video games (except for when I'm specifically looking for a how-to in which case I youtube it)..
?????
There were those that once said –
I just don’t get it. I can’t imagine anyone would want to play video games with me from across the country, nor am I interested in playing video games ‘on-line’ with others. That’s what I have
real friends for. Why would I play with anyone else?
I can see the potential of twitch and game streaming for the social aspects of it. Not so much about watching people playing video games – but possibly creating conversations that otherwise wouldn’t have occurred without the video game.
For me? I look forward to seeing if anyone would ‘watch’ me play on a channel called ‘Pastor plays games.’ I look forward to conversations I could have that probably wouldn’t have occurred because there are those that believe that because I’m a pastor, that I’m not a ‘real’ person and don’t do things that other ‘real’ people do. Or, because I’m a pastor and a Christian that I’m some crazy bible-thumping, eternal fire and damnation spewing mouth piece of a ‘god’ that
hates all but those who can stand to sit in the flames of wrath – Sorry, that isn’t me nor the message that I proclaim or read of, this might give me an opportunity to better spread that message that I do know and love to share
.
Who knows, it could blast off and be awesome – or totally bomb. Can’t do anything but at least try…
Sorry this message got a little ‘religiony’ but – I’m a pastor I can’t help it
