NICKMERCS mentioned on Joe Rogan\u2019s podcast during discussion about gaming with controllers collective-evolutionThe online gaming community had cause for excitement on March 4 as Twitch streamer Nick \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff was mentioned on the latest episode of Joe Rogan\u2019s highly popular podcast. On the 58th episode of his MMA Podcast series on YouTube, Joe Rogan sat down with fellow stand-up comedian and former MMA fighter Brendan Shaub after the pair had apparently just ended an intense gaming session on Quake 4. Keeping the gaming trend going, the pair started off with a discussion about the effectiveness of gaming with controller vs a mouse and keyboard. Rogan argued that mouse and keyboard was the way to go, and jokingly made some strong comments when producer Jamie Vernon brought up talented controller players. \u201cThey have zero life and they don\u2019t even know what a pussy looks like,\u201d he said while laughing. \u201cJust thinking of one guy, he\u2019s a really aggressive workout dude,\u201d Vernon said. \u201cThe guy that I\u2019m thinking of, he\u2019s a video game player, very popular. His name\u2019s NICKMERCS, he\u2019s a good workout dude.\u201d At this point Rogan admitted he was kidding: \u201cI\u2019m only kidding, I\u2019m sure he gets pussy. I\u2019m sure he does.\u201d (For mobile users, the clip begins at the 0:53 mark) While Rogan may be unaware of who NICKMERCS is, the online gaming community certainly is not, as Nick is currently one of the biggest gaming content creators in the world Most know him as a successful Twitch streamer, but Nick has also established quite a presence in esports, starting with a strong pro career in Gears of War before really making his mark in competitive Fortnite. Throughout his career, whether playing casually or competitively, Nick\u2019s tool of choice has always been the controller, which is why he\u2019s become a pioneer and idol of sorts for most Fortnite controller players. Considering his charismatic personality, many have hoped that Nick one day appears on Rogan\u2019s podcast, which would certainly be a must-watch (or must-listen) event. While the prospect of that happening remains unlikely, Nick\u2019s fans can still celebrate the fact that it\u2019s not everyday a gaming personality gets mentioned on Joe Rogan\u2019s show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
