Thousands of people watch how GTA V Streamer launches elaborate gaming concert

On Twitch, Grand Theft Auto V role play is a phenomenon in its own right. Every day streamers claim to be criminals, cops, doctors and other types of criminals. Together, on a highly modified custom server, they create a cinematic universe of streamers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, consisting of unfiltered and gleeful waste. With so many people now aboard the GTA V The RP train standing out becomes more and more difficult every day. A streamer recently managed to catch everyone's attention by hosting a concert in the game.

Mike The Bard started broadcasting GTA V RP in 2017, well before his recent ascent to the top of Twitch. One thing has always remained consistent about his act in GTA and through various other multiplayer games before that: music. In addition to being a longtime RP-er, Mike is a multi-instrumentalist and singer. He has already improvised whole songs in (and about) games. For that GTA V concert, which took place yesterday, he applied another kind of creativity, becoming the official Twitch karaoke game Twitch sings in an extension of his character by connecting it through several instances of the Open Broadcaster Software streaming program and a plugin called Virtual Cam. Jukebox speaking and speaking with a voice composed of both honey and seductive gravel, he then took the stage. The result was a show hell:

I mean, what can you even say to that? If you want to sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", there is a bar of quality that the law and the law require to erase. Mike jumped with such enthusiasm that his voice probably traveled to heaven, where Cohen himself was like, "Oh, man. Pleasant."

Despite his real talents, Mike has always been in the character throughout his show. "My current character is Hubcap Jones, an old exhausted rocker," Mike said. Kotaku in an email. "So far, he has managed to make good concerts despite the dismissal of the rest of his group and to become the owner of the new radio station (which works fully, in the game and outside). Hubcap is synonymous with rocking, peace, love, drugs and having fun at all costs. He also loves his wife, Karen. "

Mike has also created instruments, adding his own guitar solos to songs like "Mama, I'm coming home" from Ozzy Osbourne:

It did not take long for it to attract a crowd, reinforced by its flow and this GTA V The in-game tweet system of the RP server, which allows players to send messages to all other users of the server. He also played it on the above-mentioned in-game radio station, which players can tune into their phones in play. Large banners such as Lirik and Vader (Avon and Eugene respectively) appeared, and between Mike's own public and that of other banners, thousands of people watched the show live. The tiny gaming club turned into a roaring dancefloor:

There was even a mosh pit. Or maybe it was just a fight in the fists where people did not stop falling? In Grand Theft Auto as in life, the line is blurred:

There was also very GTA V PR-related technical issues, such as when Mike was idle during a moving interpretation of "Take Me Home, Country Roads":

The concert was a great moment for Mike, whose journey to full-time streaming was long and ran parallel to various careers, ranging from social worker in a nonprofit organization to children. 39, voice actor for a leading application that helps people learn English. What he is doing now, he thinks, is a natural extension of what he has always been.

"I have always enjoyed entertaining others and returning to my youth," he said. "I improvised songs, advertised, raped, made people laugh. I've also been a gamer all my life, and the two have bonded together with Twitch's help. "
