NICKMERCS explains why he stopped vlogging NICKMERCS, Twitch[jwplayer nRNmFBgY]Streaming star and gaming personality Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff is best known for his broadcasts on Twitch \u2014 but he hadn\u2019t always planned on focusing on live streams. NICKMERCS boasts a massive presence on Twitch, accumulating over 3.7 million followers on the site due to his humorous interactions with fellow streamers and his impressive gameplay, usually with a controller. However, the star also boasts a fairly successful YouTube channel, which, at one point, he\u2019d hoped to bolster with non-gaming centric content like vlogs (regular recordings of his daily life). After moving to Los Angeles some time ago, NICKMERCS made an attempt at diversifying his content with these vlogs, but ultimately decided against it, as explained during a June 19 episode of the \u2018Pardon My Take\u2019 podcast. During the episode, he was asked a slew of questions regarding his time on Twitch, which eventually led to the topic of some fans accusing him of \u201cpre-recording\u201d his broadcasts. That\u2019s never been the case, of course, because he\u2019s not a fan of making pre-recorded content in general, revealing that he dislikes the feeling of talking to a camera rather than his own audience in real-time. \u201cI used to do vlogging on YouTube,\u201d Nick said of the topic. \u201cI did a few of \u2018em, and I never liked it. It was always weird to me that I was like, talking to the camera, like, \u2018Aye, what\u2019s up guys? How you doin\u2019?\u2019 [laughs].\u201d \u201cI just \u2014 there wasn\u2019t anybody, I\u2019m talking to myself, man!\u201d he added. \u201cYou know what I mean? At least I\u2019m talking to you guys right now, which makes it a little bit more comfortable. But imagine just talking to yourself, vlogging. Isn\u2019t that kind of weird?\u201d (Topic begins at 8:47) While every social media platform comes with its pros and cons, it seems that NICKMERCS is a Twitch streamer through and through. And while he uploads popular clips and moments from his broadcasts to YouTube on a regular basis (including the construction of his home gaming studio), it doesn\u2019t look like fans should look forward to vlogs from this entertainer anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
