I wanted to apologize for not being able to stream this week. I've had a ton on my plate trying to get ready for a new job that I start on Tuesday, plus I was on vacation last weekend AND I'm going on vacation this weekend. With all that happening together, I would expect the next stream to be next Wednesday... but I don't know how demanding this job is going to be yet. It's looking tough for the stream right now, but I want everyone to know that it's something I thoroughly enjoy doing and have no plans to quit, as long as I can make time. Please forgive me for my absense, and I'll see you guys very soon. Otherwise, make sure you're hanging out with the Schmucks (Kioller, Classy_Viking, Uziell_UK, and others) as that is where you'll probably find me when they are streaming. Much love <3

Hey everybody, it's been ages since I've posted anything on this board, and I've been meaning to reflect on its purpoose, so here we go. Feel free to skim through, ill use headers to make it quicker.

For the past several months, I've been using it only to get the word out that the stream is starting. If you have ever recieved multiple notifications at the same time, that's a hiccup on steam's part but I still want to apologize for spamming you guys. I really like the Event system here as Twitch regularly poops its pants and randomly turns off everyone's follwer notifications so you guys don't get the regular 'HollywoodScotty is now playing Robocraft' pop ups.

I want to start using it for the following:

• Giveaway Announcements - Most of you know I do a Swanky Loot Giveaway for the first Saturday of each month, the prize of which depends on the amount of donor support I recieve from the community. We gave away some steam giftcards last time, and before that was a bunch of games, for example. It's obviously unrealistic for me to expect everyone to catch every stream, so I'm going to do my best to announce these big giveaways on here and make sure y'all can plan ahead of time and don't miss out.
  
• Tournament Info - The last tournament we heald was the SUPERSLAM Rocket League tournament back in December and I had/have plans of organizing another one. (I'm still working on that montage by the way, I just have a ton on my plate right now and to be compeltely honest, it's not a priority. It WILL get done, but it WILL take more time. ScumbagScotty not giving a release date, I know.) I might try to host some Robocraft Contests in the future, as well as other game-related events, so keep an eye on here for participation info, etc.
  
• YouTube Video Releases - I've been busting into the YouTube scene a bit more lately , and trusting in the YouTube content push system to get my clips on your recommended page is hardly viable. I'll do my best to start announcing each of the clips here, and I'll add some sort of tag to the title so ya know what it's about (Eg: "[Robocraft] CRF Showcase #69" or "[Stream Highlights] February 2016 Edition").

If you guys have any suggestions on running this thing, or what more I could use it for that isn't too intrusive and is actually helpful, hit me up on here, Twitter, or Discord[discord.gg].

Stay Swanky.

P.S. If you read this, comment "Kappa 123" so I know if y'all even give a hoot about these things.

HeyGuys, I'm sick af, can't really talk without coughing etc. so I haven't gone live in like 4 days. That's a long time for me, and to make it up to y'all I'll be giving away FOUR !inventory games on Saturday, 12/12 at 5pm MT. Hopefully I'm better by then.

In the mean time keep it real, good luck with finals and enjoy the start of your winter breaks. Team Hollywood stands STRONG! I'll see ya soon.

Hey everyone, thanks for signing up and thanks to you who have gotten ahold of me and given your availability for the tournament. Unfortunately, there are still a LOT of teams who have not gotten ahold of me so I don't know if/when you are able to compete, so here is how this is going to work:

Every Saturday, starting TODAY, we're going to start the stream at 5pm Pacific time. After half an hour of warm ups, we will poll the chat and see which teams are ready to go. I will then randomly create a bracket on the spot for those match ups. Whoever we don't get matched up today will be messaged and invited to play NEXT Saturday. If they don't show up for the next week, they are disqualified.

Due to the size of the tournament, most teams need to win 3 matches to win the whole thing. This means we should be able to complete the tournament by the end of November or early December.

This method will likely take a bit longer than I had hoped to complete the tournament, however without having a single day and telling everyone "BE HERE OR YOU'RE OUT", I don't see another way with everyone being so geographically spread out.

Once all of the matches are done and a winner is decided, I'll compile all of the footage and clean up the tournament for YouTube upload. It will look much more put together there, as this is going to likely be a fat mess (lol).

SO If you are signed up, BE SURE TO SHOW UP TODAY, 11/7 AT 5pm PACIFIC WITH YOUR FULL TEAM! If you cannot get ahold of your full team, feel free to wait until next week, however if you cannot get ahold of your full team NEXT week, then you'll need to either compete with less than 3 people or back out of the tournament. I know it's harsh but I don't have a good system for running a worldwide tournament, this is the best I can do <3

Thanks for understanding, see you guys at 5pm PT!

Unfortunately my HDD is failing. All my games and streaming files are on it and, if you've been around for the past couple of broadcasts you know, it's causing problems that make it impossible for me to go live.

I've recently updated to Windows 10 to see if it was a software issue and it didn't help. Luckily, my SSD is in good shape so the cost of repair wont be too high, however I need to go grab a new drive and move everything over; this is going to take a little bit of time.

The last thing I EVER want to do is go on a hiatus, it's bad for the community and I miss you guys too much BibleThump. Until I get my HDD, get my data moved over and backed up, I don't think I'll be able to stream.

Fret not! It's not the end of the world, because this gives me some time to put up some swanky YouTube video build for Robocraft. If you wanna take a look and/or subscribe to the channel, head over to the channel by clicking here and check it out. I'll try to get some videos up tonight or tomorrow, and I'm pushing to get my drive early next week.

Thanks for understanding, you guys are the swankiest of boots. If you need to get ahold of me, please feel free to tweet at me (@hwoodscotty) or message me on twitch/steam/wherever I will see it.
