Untitled Blog Entry.

Dill and I are going to be in Niagara Falls, Ontario from this Friday until Monday, so unless Jake or Erik steal all the shit for the weekend (which would be cool) there will be no broadcasting until next Monday.

I want to take this time to strongly encourage people to join the forums located on the right side of the blog, or here http://cangamers.proboards.com/index.cgi . The forum is going to be an invaluable tool in making the broadcast and the discussion show better. We will check the forums daily for new topics, and we'll start some more to get the ball rolling.

I hope by the time I get back we're unflagged. Cause it sucks.

Poop. And Lots of it.

So we're flagged. Again. Apparently you do need to be flagged multiple times to actually get flagged, so that sucks. I've messaged the admins and whatnot and all I can do now is wait. It'll be kinda dry for a few days until we get unflagged. I also posted on the JTV forums(if you could call them that), and am trying to get them to change the system. I urge everyone to go to http://www.justin.tv/networks/justintv/forum/topic/3b4e16bd59806de2/we_need_some_harsh_punishment_for_false_f?page=1 and give you opinion on this bo schitt. The flagging system is very flawed and needs to be fixed.

And now, more things.

The discussion show sucked. I gave up about 2 minutes in, when there were 5 people. Basically it was pretty pointless as we had NO topics, and we weren't listed on the live channels. Ah well.

We are going to be filming our intro video in a bit, we're just waiting on Dill for more details.

Special thanks to Cmm1990 in chat for donating 2 bucks!!!!

As always, keep visiting, commenting, and SPREADING THE WORD MOST IMPORTANTLY!

Le Side Feed.

I (Tyler) am going to be creating a side channel over on mogulus.com for strictly PC streaming. It is SOO much easier to stream PC using the Procaster for mogulus than using FME and ScreenCap for JTV. So if you want a change from all the normal 360 and Wii games we play, head on over to www.mogulus.com/cangamers and I'll be there.

Side note: 1 VS 100 is a lie.

Aboot.

These past couple days have been kinda busy, so there hasn't been much broadcasting. That and the fact that I'm totally bored of my 360. I need to get that PS3 asap. But nevertheless, tonight at around 8ish I'll be back home and broadcasting. No more droughts of CCG :) Keep telling your friends, making clips, watching the feed, and everything else!

Some of you saw the new camera Jake and I bought at a pawn shop for $69. It's a pretty damn good camcorder. You'll see the difference in quality when we do our next show, which we think will start becoming weekly on Mondays at 8:30 or 9 PM EST.

Couple quick notes: COMMENT ON THE DAMN BLOG! GO TO THE FORUMS! MAKE THREADS ABOUT STUFF! Also, we need some ideas for games to play in the coming weeks, so tell us on here, or when you see us broadcasting, tell us what you think we should try. Thanks!!111ONE111ONE!!EXCLAMATION!

CCG Apparel!

We are currently working on setting up an online shop at www.cafepress.ca to help us get some revenue so we can keep making our broadcast awesome. Plus, it's money in our pocket. All kinds of Canadian Couch Gamers clothing and miscellaneous things will be available, so stay tuned for the launch :)But don't worry, if we start making enough money we will be giving back to you guys. I realize that we have some kickass fans and the ones devoted enough to help us out by buying merch, donating, and just helping advertise us and stuff, I wouldn't be able to thank them enough. Dill and I have some big ambitions for this live broadcast, so just wait and see.

We will also be giving away our merch for free in contests and stuff in the future, so keep watching and playing :)

He Who Controls The Spice, Controls The World!

This morning I was thinking of ways to really make our channel different from the other channels on JTV. To be honest, though we do have a lot more interaction and stuff with our viewers, I still see our channel as not that different. I'm sure on all honesty most of you would agree. I want to do a lot of cool things, besides just playing games with you guys. I was thinking of competitions and what not, on a regular basis. I was also thinking of some new layouts for when we do our discussion shows. I really want to take this channel seriously now, and I hope the you guys are willing to help us out to make it kick ass. PLEASE if you read this, comment and tell me some ideas, or better yet, go to the forums, make a topic, and get this thing goin! Thanks to all our awesome viewers :)
