Operation Stream Successful.

So far, So Good, I have increased my Minion Army by playing computer games. Excellent! Attempting to use this blog as a repeater for my Twitter account, so expect random small posts from now on.


STAY EVIL!

The time is coming......

PEOPLE OF THE INTERNET!



For quite some time now, I have observed your memes, cat videos, pranks, and games. It is now high time I retake my place in this computerized microcosm and elevate it to new levels. I, The ComputerKing. Formerly known as the Supervillain of Podcasting, will usher in a new Era of Internet Evil, with a debut stream that will serve to secure my Ascension to the position of Supervillain of Streaming! This 8-hour event will take place on December 7th, 2017 from 3:59 pm EST to 11:59pm.

And because The ComputerKing does nothing small, I will be streaming on not one, not two, but three streaming sites. You will be able to locate the stream at:

Mixer - https://mixer.com/ComputerKing

Twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/thecomputerking

YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/computerking





Be there, Or Beware...

The crimes, they are a-changing...

"Yes, ComputerKing," I hear you think, "you're pivoting. But what are you pivoting to?"

A simple question, with a simple answer. Gamification was a trend that had people trying to turn everything into a game. Work, self-improvement, groceries, people tried to make a game out of all of that and more. I could follow the trend, sheep my way into the herd, but that's not the Supervillain way. What I am going to do is the opposite: I'm going to take fun games and purposefully turn them into work.

I'm going to become the Supervillain of Streaming. A pivot that has the bonuses of claiming a new title, and exposing the gaming world to The ComputerKing! It appeals to my narcissism and allows me to play computer games. Excellent!

Keep alert to learn where and when you will be able to find me invading the world of streaming, faithful reader. Soon my evil will be spreading even further.

They won't know what hit them...

The pivot

There's a term in the business world. It's used to refer to the practice of radically changing your business' direction in order to take advantage of current trends. The word, pivot, used to simply mean to turn, swivel or rotate. Much like the best chair a Supervillain can use is a swivel chair (I'll go into why another time).

As I see things, I made a very slow pivot from being the Supervillain of Podcasting to retirement, then to doing this blog. But a villain shouldn't be stagnant. It's time to pivot again. Now that my Doomsday Device has arrived, I need to get out of the hospital and start learning to use it. It's time to dust off the old cowl, practice my Evil Laugh, and set my sights on a new target.

Ready, aim, fire. Prepare to get Evil....

Doomsday devices

When planning a doomsday device, you need to balance cost, power, utility, and a few other factors. The whole process is taxing, mentally, but ultimately worth it. I recently went to the trouble of researching, pricing and purchasing a new "Big One", which I currently wait impatiently for. But I don't rage and curse every delay, I simply make more preparations with my extra time.
Or at least I DID make preparations. Now I sit, in a hospital, again, cut off from my usual tools and productivity devices, in danger of missing the delivery of my Doomsday Device. It's not like they're going to leave something so dangerous on a doorstep. That's where trusted henchmen come in.
Not those nameless minions so plentiful in number that it's not possible to tell them apart without a database of distinguishing features. One of them would drop it , accidentally trigger it, or screw up the settings before I get a chance to look at the Manual.
No, True henchmen have names, memorable personalities, and truly appreciate and believe in your vision, and in extension, believe in you. I am fortunate enough to have a few loyal henchmen who I'm sure will be able to secure the device without incident. For them I am grateful, and they will be amply rewarded.

It's very good for a villain to have trusted aids, treat your best henchmen well, and they will not fail you.
