A streamer has devoted himself to virtual reality on Twitch and is trying to escape from a virtual escape room in the game “Budget Cuts” (Steam) while wandering around in his living room in reality. In a panic search for a key, he knocked himself to the ground.
What kind of streamer is this?
- “Mekise” is a small streamer on Twitch who plays shooters like Valorant or Apex Legends. When he streams, he has an average of 2 viewers.
- Mekise calls himself on Twitter an “old, slow gamer”. He has a streaming schedule where he plays Apex or Valorant for 3 days a week, 3 hours each.
- However, Sunday is his “Virtual Reality” day. He grabs an “Oculus 2” headset and enters the virtual reality.
“I am safe here!”
The clip made him famous now: Last Sunday it was time again, Mekise welcomed his viewers around 9 PM, opened a beer (“That’s okay, I’m over 18, I can do that”), put on his VR headset, and started Steam VR.
He looked around his room and noticed: “Should I be safe here? Yes, I am safe here.”
The task was to escape from an escape room in the VR game “Budget Cuts” (Steam). After about 20 minutes, he reached a point where he was supposed to search for a key. Mekise looked around the room in panic and knocked himself quite solidly out by his fireplace while searching for the key in virtual reality and bending down.
Only chat participant worries emotionally: “Are you okay?”
What happened next? Mekise crawled around on the floor, saying: “I broke my mouth. I’m not joking” and then left the frame.
A few minutes later, he sat in front of the camera with a tissue: “I’m fine, I’m just bleeding!” He could already laugh at himself again and wanted to watch the replay to see how it happened.
The only participant in his Twitch chat, Charlie31415, was worried about him and asked if he needed help.
Later, Mekise said he had gone to the emergency room and had 4 stitches (via twitter).
The clip has evidently done quite well for his career: over 50,000 people have seen the accident on stream. His next Twitch stream had at least 6 viewers instead of the average 2.
There are also other ways to have success when streaming to 2 viewers on Twitch:
