💰 Grifter Boogie / Boogie2988 / "Francis" / Steven Jason Williams - Fat, Rapidly Declining Divorced "Nice Guy" Middle-Aged Youtuber, Former Edgy Porn Blogger, lied about having cancer and being molested. Cohost of fake drama show "Lolcow Live (LCL)". Just WILL NOT die.

It actually sucks. Even if it goes well. The rest won't. Insufferable isn't even a good enough word for the temper tantrums he will throw on whoever has the misfortune of keeping him from killing himself with a few bites of solid food.

You're about to see the worst of crack heads quit cold turkey. We either get a barrage of insane videos or nothing for months.
 
Repeating "Boogie2988 coming at you live once again thru the power of the internet" is a fantastic motivator when you're working out, try it sometime. Kept my ass swimming for like half an hour
This applies to more than just him, but I'm pretty sure every single streamer who has a catchphrase intro/outro like this can just be written off as a garbage bullshitter.
 
Three annoying Boogisms:

  1. The way he says "comfortable." He always uses 4 rapid syllables (com-fit-a-bul), or more accurately, 5 rapid syllables (un-com-fit-a-bul) because he's always complaining. The common pronunciation in America has 3 syllables (comf-ter-bul). It's part of American English - we mash all the consonants together into an absurd cadence. His pronunciation annoys me. And since he's always moaning about being un-com-fit-a-ble, even more so. Maybe I'm just being autistic.
  2. He sucks at games. He's just awful. For a guy that streams gameplay every night, you'd think he would learn how to play. Instead he's constantly running, hiding, yelping and whinging at his teammates. His Twitch Highlights on YouTube are pitiful. Just a bunch of clips of him squealing, fucking up, and getting mowed down by an enemy. I don't think I've ever seen him win a skirmish with an opponent.
  3. Repeating himself. Good orators have a simple rhetorical device at their disposal called repetition. If you repeat yourself, it adds impact. It adds impact. See? But of course, Boogie is no Orson Welles, and he abuses this device to death. It's just lazy and habitual now. Many streamers do this, he'll sit there repeating himself on stream with some stupid phrase, "Daddy needs a banana... Daddy needs a banana... Daddy needs a banana" or even when he's serious "Life is hard... Life is hard... Life is hard..." Annoying as shit. Again, I'm an idiot for being annoyed by this stuff.

Why am I wasting my time with this guy and his fairly innocuous quirks, when I could be reading Melville or learning to play guitar? Because I'm an idiot. But there you go.

I've also never seen someone mention their disorder as often as he does
 
Boogie is no Orson Welles

Perhaps not the best comparison.

I hate to seem moralfaggy but until he went under from surgery I was pretty blase about the entire deal. Now he's actually going through it, I'm getting the 'hope everything goes okay' thing I get for basically anyone in mortal danger. It's optimistic, but I think he might be able to recover, both phyiscally and in terms of personality - he isn't, say, Chance Carmichael. He's not a horrible leech on society, just a kind of annoying person who's not very likeable past his internet persona. Also, he's a human being.

However, if he did die, the shakeup should be interesting to observe - he's moderately e-famous.
