The address of the Ventrilo server has changed!

For some reason MaximumVoice decided not to automatically repay the bill for the Ventrilo server, so it went unpaid and the server died!

So I got on there and paid the bill, so now the Ventrilo server is back up.  HOWEVER, the port number has changed.

Hostname: voice-dallas.maximumvoice.com

Port: 43965

I’m paying for this server out of my own pocket, so any contributions to help pay for this are greatly appreciated.

Also, I should start being around a lot more.  Not sure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing…

Kerbal Space Program Competition

Kerbal Space Program is a space ship simulating game that is currently under development.  Using basic building blocks you can create a multi-stage rocket and attempt to send it into orbit all while ensuring that the Kerbal astronauts inside stay alive!  What seems simple becomes hilarious when your rocket tilts off axis and comes slamming down back to Earth.  Or if you are even less fortunate your rocket may explode as soon as you attempt liftoff!

So, Deep Games will be hosting a Kerbal Space Program competition!

New Streamer app:Modori

We just received a new streamer application from Modori.  For some reason he decided to submit his application 3 times, but oh well.

Name:
Modori

E-mail:
[removed]

Age:
Yes, 16 almost 17.

What types of games and what systems:
Mainly PC games. When my new PC arrives I will be able to install a Capture Card to stream Xbox 360 games.

Want a list of games, let me know.

Streaming experience:
I have streamed before yes, over at JackmanGames www.livestream.com/jmgames
(I changed my username just after I made it, to stop confusion to my YouTube fans)

History:
When I was like 10 – 11, I was totally fascinated by the stream. Then when I was about 13 – 14 – 15 I kinda lost interest in the stream. Now I came back to the stream and I already know that I will love this stream all over again.

Why they should stream:
I want to stream (not for attention like most people do) to entertain. I try to entertain my viewers in any ways I can. Sometimes I will (if I am accepted) is to allow the viewers to choose the game for me to play (Viewers Choice) so they aren’t stuck with the games that the streamers choose to play all the time. The viewers can vaguely be involved with the stream.

Anything else they wanted to add:
1. Jackman, was my old username, before I changed it to Modori (because people were thinking I was High Jackman from the X-Men movies, I had enough of that, so I changed to Modori.)

2. I have a microphone, but I haven’t tried using it while streaming. When I can, I will test the microphone out while streaming (it works on Steam and Skype so I think it will be ok.)

Want some more information about something, let me know. I will answer as soon as I can if you have any questions that you might have.
