…

“How about six,” asked Anca.
…
“No,” replied George in private chat.
…
“Six incoming.”
…
“we don’t want it.”
…
“Make that a train.”
…
“No trains. Take it somewhere else.”
…
George switched out his sniper rifle for an AK74. He opened fire from a fire escape and took down a dozen wild dogs on Anca’s heels. The sound was deafening. The online audience (the stream) watching George’s game on Twitch complained loudly.
…
…
Kitty Karla (Moderator): “Snap – my ears are bleeding!”
…
Charly Gainsbourg (Subscriber): A little advance warning would be nice.
…
Grey Kim (Super Fan): “Thanks for blowing out my speakers.”
…
Matthias Müller (OP): !Songrequest GOTCHA247CH1
…
Sebastien Nobunaga (Heroic Fan): Sniper 9 O Clock. Window with white shutters.
…
MiniMe: Sebastien Nobunaga has earned one achievement point.
…
…
“Sorry about that,” George replied in stream as he switched back to his sniper rifle and fired at a shadow in a sixth floor window across the alley.
…
The shadow dropped and the kill was confirmed by the experience gain.
…
George’s face and naked upper body appeared in a pop up window on the stream view. He looked just like his game avatar – a sexy, bad ass with a strong jaw. Under his bottom lip, a spiderman spider tattoo looked like it was crawling up toward his mouth. George winked, gave two thumbs up and the pop up disappeared.
…
George Sketch Crop
…
…
“Good spotting,” George told the stream.
…
In the alley below, John called out the formations. BMZ1, KFA2, and Flame On. Anca pushed through the firing lines and kept going. She wasn’t sticking around for this train wreck.
…
“No woman, no cry,” George told the stream.
…
MiniMe, an automated stream bot, translated John’s commands in George’s stream:
…
BMZ1: Shotguns in front and on knees
KFA2: Klashnikov’s Full Auto
Flame On: Flame Throwers gear up
Cyprus Hill’s song, Insane in the Membrane, started to play in stream as the crowd of zombies lurched forward into the alley. George raised his arms and swayed to the music.Down below, the shotguns and klashnikovs roared as zombie corpses piled up.Sleazy, another automated stream bot, texted George’s stream subscription details:
1-Subscriber: 5 Euro/Month
2-Super Fan: Subscription + Total Donations of 300 Euro in past three months [benefits]
3-Heroic Fan: Subscription + 10 Achievements in past three months [benefits] 4-Legendary: Subscription + Total donations >500 Euro; >20 Achievments [benefits]
5- OP: Subscription + Total Donations >1000 Euro and >100 Achievements [benefits]
6- Troll: Subscription and >20 Penalties
…
Shouts of OOA (Out of Ammo) flooded the battle group channel.
…
Three Flame Throwers moved to the front as the rifle and shotgun teams fell back. Like a growling river of mud, zombies climbed over their fallen and continued to pour into the alley.
…
“LOVE NEVER FAILS,” shouted John.

“FOH – stand together! Stand strong. This ain’t a MOBA. This game – it don’t get more real than now.”

…
Three arching streams of fire poured into the advancing river of the dead.
…
Spambot played it’s message because two noobs joined the stream in the last five minutes:
…
…
Welcome to Georgie’s Pudding and Pie experience. George Eliade is number two in Fire of Heaven’s 6th Division – Special Forces. Noobs get one free hour of stream. After that, the money talk and gawkers walk.    
…
Follow Georgie on his pimp adventure through an epic wonderland of zombies, pole dancers and fat loots. Check out Georgie’s website and get to know the dude that you wish you were. Or were with – if you know what I mean.
…
Shots rang out from the other end of the alley. 
…
“Catch 22,” John texted to the battle group.
…
“WTF,” shouted George.
…
“Bitches be sneaking up on us and where the fuck is our exit spotter?!”
…
George read and listened to the audience feedback in the stream:
…
…
Eat Joe (Troll): Someone want touch your pee pee.
…
Trollbot: Eat Joe has earned a penalty. (298)
…
Noob FRPA54:  FUBAR. Run Forest, Run!
…
Noob USNY702: Any babes in the lurk? Send me your pic. I’ll send you mine.
…
Trollbot: Noob USNY702 has to pay a 5 Euro creepy fine to continue posting.
…
Trollbot: Noob FRPA54 has refused to pay a 5 Euro fee for posting a public link.
…
…
Below, the roaring streams of flame petered out. They were out of fuel. OOF.
…
“You like suspense,” George asked his stream.
…
“If you like it and you know you like it, you know what you gotta do.
…
Ka-ching!!!
…

51,712 of you in the stream. You know how this works. 500 Euro to see what happens next.
…
This ain’t no MOBA, bitches. Ante up for an epic story!”
…
…
The stream went black for a second. Then the lolita version of Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony appeared in the streaming video. She flitted around a pot of gold: 12 year old face with super-sized, cutie eyes, rainbow colored hair, body of a Hustler model, mini skirt and under-sized tee shirt with a small rainbow over her heart.
…
A shiny red donate button on the side of the pot glowed like it was radioactive.
…
The numbers (just above the pot) increased sluggishly in 5 Euro increments.
…
George narrated the action.
…
“John’s holding a briefcase over his head. You all know what that is, don’t you?Anyone?
…
More zombies incoming. You know the law of Epic game challenge! 40x-2p/3+6.”
…
Text and voices flooded the stream.
…
…
Kitty Karla (Moderator): “No Way!!! Are you taking legendary briefcase nuke?”
…
Sergio Brown (Subscriber): Briefcase nuke? Really? Who drops that?
…
Eat Joe (Troll): John is a traveling dildo salesman?
…
Trollbot:  Eat Joe has earned a penalty. (299)
…
Janelle Tarts (Super Fan): “Sergio – the Senator drops the briefcase nuke.” 
…
MiniMe: Janelle Tarts has earned one karma point.
…
…
The numbers above the pot of gold increased.
…
250. 255. 305. 320. 420. 515.
…
“GOAL,” George shouted in Stream.
…
Rainbow Dash raised her arms in victory, pushed out her chest and took a grand bow as the view of George’s game resolved in the stream video.
…
Below, John led the exodus of the 30 person battle team with the briefcase held high over his head. The ten person Player Killer team that had wanted to ambush John’s battle group held their rifles at rest as John’s team exited the alley. They didn’t want to die. Death in this game was permanent and there was no way of avoiding death if John blew them all up with a nuke.
…
Meanwhile, zombies spilled over the top of the burning wall of crispy corpses. Big and tall zombies. Small and thin zombies. Yellow and white, crusty faces animated in their anguish and hunger for human proteins. Their clothes burned as they slid, tumbled and crawled down the burning pile of the first zombies that went into the alley.
…
George looked down at a barrel beside him and spoke to the stream:
…
“I could drop the barrel bomb and clear those zombies. Or I could let them crush that Plater Killer team.
…
The decision is yours.
…
Vote 1 for me to give the ass hats a break? Vote 2 so we kick back and watch the carnage. Vote 3 if you want me to make the call.
…
You got 60 seconds to cast your vote.”
…
