6-year-old streamer, RowdyRogan, was banned from Call Of Duty: Warzone by Activision during a livestream on his Twitch account. Rogan became a star of Twitch earlier this year after proving to be a match for players that were three or even four times his age. However, with the game rated at an 18, he was some 12 years too young to be playing the game, despite being accompanied by his father. While trying to log into his Activision account, Rogan and his dad found out about the devastating news, although Activision have yet to comment as to why the account was banned. Most people have been quick to tweet in support of Activision, with the valid opinion that Rogan was just simply too young to play the game: "To stream this game your kid has to be min. 13 years old while you sit there with him while playing. That's the TOS. Sad though , He is a good player but I don't think a 6 year old should play this game anyways.. even though its your family's income.. just wrong." "He definitely shouldn't play this game at such a young age. And the father supporting him?? Wtf is…

I think there's a lot to say about money—everyone on earth is affected by cash in one way or another. Looking at it through a demonic lens is a fun way to play with the concept.I'm also so excited to try something new by creating the book live on Twitch. Will and Rachelle are fantastic—this will be like being in a band, performing live every night as we come up with new ideas and implement them right then and there. I can't wait—especially to…

Bunnyhop.tv TwitchJessica S. December 11, 2020The Twitch community has just discovered Bunnyhop.tv and they don't like it.  Bunnyhop.tv is a website that embeds Twitch streams by content creators the site deems attractive. The front page prompts viewers to "sign in to follow your favorite girls." When female streamers found out about Bunnyhop.tv they were deeply upset about the website's practices.  This is disgusting. A discord team I'm a part of notified me that there is a website that takes "attractive female streamers" and embeds your link into their page without your knowledge. I have many friends that are female streamers, and this explains alot of the hell they get. — Alpha (@ItsKBAlpha) December 10, 2020 The site embeds female Twitch streamers without their permission. The criteria by which they choose to add female streamers to their website is unknown, and many streamers who have found themselves on the site have felt sick, outraged, and fearful. Hundreds of women looked to Twitch to help them take down the site and it seems that their efforts have been fruitful. Twitch support tweeted about the incident and announced that they had blocked the site from embedding streams. The website still lists females who…

Dryland workouts for masters swimmers are just as important as swim practices for masters swimmers. As we get older, life happens. People have jobs, families, and responsibilities. These factors limit the time swimmers can commit to training. Aging also brings on physical barriers to staying in shape. For instance, injuries crop up significantly more easily, and energy levels naturally change. Physiological fluctuations cause people to be more selective about how they spend their training time. Therefore, it’s easier for masters’ athletes to keep their eyes fixed on the pool. However, research shows that dryland is extremely important for adults, especially masters swimmers ages 40 and up. SURGE Strength provides resistance training through comprehensive dryland plans in order to fit the needs of this population. Below, we discuss how to tailor dryland for Masters swimmers and why progressive resistance training is an irreplaceable activity: Age Considerations for Masters Swimmers Doing Dryland Workouts Our bodies change as we age. By the time we hit 40, strength and power naturally start to decrease. This is because our fast-twitch muscle fibers start to diminish through a process called apoptosis. Apoptosis is morbidly known as programmed cell death. It is our body’s natural design of…

Professional Fortnite player for Team SoloMid, Leon "Khanada" Khim, will not stream on Twitch anytime soon, he confirmed on Twitter.

Instead, he performed in a Minecraft replica of the auditorium during the BU Block Party, hosted by BU Arts Initiative and BU Gaming Club. The Boston University Arts Initiative collaborated with BU Gaming Club on Friday to host a Minecraft block party DJed by DJ Zander in a virtual replica of the Tsai Performance Center.

CAS senior Jithvan Ariyaratne, BU Gaming Club’s media coordinator, said the group has been working on the project since before the University sent students home in Spring. “When we first actually put up the server, it was February of last year.

The Twitch streamer Felix "xQc" Lengyel spent a whopping $17,000 on a First Edition box of Team Rocket Pokemon cards, but the gamble paid off for the streamer, as he managed to pull a rare, Dark Charizard hologram on stream! The card's current market value is around $6,000, and the values of the top cards he pulled from the box amount to about $27,000 in total. Overall, that makes for a solid profit for the streamer! This depends entirely upon finding a buyer, of course, but it certainly shows just how lucrative these cards can be, at the moment!On Twitter, xQc shared a picture of his new cards, which can be found embedded below. TEAM ROCKET UNBOXING WAS CRAZY. IM SO HAPPY WITH THESE INSANE PULLS, NUTS! THANKS FOR WATCHING! HERE ARE THE HIGHLIGHTS IF U MISSED IT pic.twitter.com/7zp3cbmnDo — xQc (@xQc) December 6, 2020 While Pokemon cards have been continuously produced since the TCG debuted all the way back in 1996, some of the earliest cards have seen a major resurgence in value over the last few months. Part of this can likely be attributed to Twitch streamers like xQc, who have found a considerable audience while opening packs…
