I don't have any rules I guess. Don't smack talk about my friends when they aren't here? That's probably about it. (If they're here, they're probably a mod and/or can handle it just fine.) Don't randomly advertise/promote without asking me first. I'd probably be more than happy to let you if you just ask first (outside of live stream chat). And don't hate. Standard human being stuff.

Hi, my name is Rob, but most people call me Nort. I'm from Seattle, but I live in Oregon on the west coast of the US. I primarily stream EVE Online, but I reserve the right to call myself a variety streamer. I'm looking forward to Star Citizen but I try not to touch it much and get over-hyped. I may get on WoW or Overwatch once in a while. I will play anything that sounds fun. I've played mmo's since Ultima Online. I played Shadowbane for years after that, then WoW since a few months before BC came out. I prefer pvp to pve in generatl. I'm a Marine Corps combat veteran with a service connected disability for PTSD. I'm in recovery from a drug habit born of self medication in the past. I'm open about it, so feel free to ask me questions. If you're hurting about similar stuff, definitely talk to me. Beyond being a gamer and a Marine, I suppose I'd identify as a snowboarder, a homebrewer (although it's been a LONG time), and wishful philosopher. Ask me anything, the least I MAY do is pass on answering, but I doubt it. I'm pretty transparent. Hope you enjoy the s* show!

I don't even have a regular stream schedule so I certainly am not in this for the donations at this point in time. There is no notification because I'm kind of old school about donations. That being said, I would be more than happy to read your note on stream if you leave one, or give you a shout-out; please just yell at me to check donations! All donations at this point will go directly into the stream. Mostly for hardware first. If you would like me to spend money on something specifically, I'm more than happy to. If you would like to contribute in game assets, I would be happy to give them away on stream (or keep them for myself as per requests).
