    richard, I watch all of your videos and 99% of your streams and have been subbed on twitch for over 6 years now. This is one of the best videos/streams you have ever made . We are so lucky to have a voice like you in the scene. You should be incredibly proud of this . Keep doing what youre doing . You are a living legend, never forget that

    7:25 It's June 1st. The social media guy just hit "Send" on the Pride Month Celebration post. He goes to take a shower. As he's leaving, he just sees Richard Lewis with a golf bat doing his best Julius impression. "YOU THINK I'M PLAYIN'?"

    A small note on the Dean takahashi/ Game reviewers don't need to be good at games
    If you are terrible at games you can still do fantastic work on some aspects of the game for example game performance/ optimization, ethics, microtransactions and similar topics but as for reviewing the gameplay you should at least be competent.

      @sebastiangundolf6740 Před 28 dny

      Since TI prices went down so far, 5 millions will still easily be the highest price money for any Dota tournament this year.. and that's all they care about.
      Would they have known how low the TI prices were going to be last year, they also wouldn't have spend so much money on that.
      Assholes just need to show off that they are the richest and can easily spend as much as needed. But not more, because they don't care about the games, not about the players and not the tiniest bit about the viewers, community or whatever we call them.
      Why the hell would anyone want to go to a effing desert, to play in front of a handful of people that share morals and values with our iron age ancestors... I have more respect for any honest prostitute and drug dealer
