I knew about him long before EUS. It doesn't take a masters to see what kind of person and gamer his is from the videos he puts out. SeaNanners only posted videos of source games and other twitch shooters with an odd "why not" game from time to time. He plays games and posts videos to have fun, that's it. Anything past the fun parts of a game SeaNanners more or less ignores. He plays video games to play games.
That list bit of "plays games to play games" sounds rather like a no brainer to most right? Well it's not.
I, for example, play video games to be immersed in their worlds and not for the sole purpose of fun. I can't play a game if it doesn't bother to immerse or give reason for what happens in game. Look at TF2, Id love to get into that game because of it looking like fun yet after years of it sitting untouched I still can't play that game for it not giving a reason to be killing other than red v blue.
To play just to play is a horrible quality for a leader. Examples of leadership are TB getting into character for his events. In EUS he took on the role of a TR leader and made real use of what he had around him. He did the same when he did the TGS Chivalry Dual-a-Thon. LevelCap used his know how of the game to do his thing. Hell, even Toby was doing a better job at being a leader for learning the game.
SeaNanners is the type you put into a fight, maybe make squad leader tops. Use him to do grunt work and put those twitch skills to use in base fights. For fucks sake, according to LevelCap's video posted here SeaNanners was STILL learning PS2 during the EUS. Anyone in a leader role should have damn near mastered at least parts of the game in the months SOE gave them to prepare.
Great, Im derailing another thread for this topic. Is it a case of me not learning and easily baited, or is there something to this?
