1.) What is the one thing you love about your community?  

 

The family atmosphere that we have is second to none. Even members that have moved on to do other things still pop in from time to time to show the love. We take pride in the loyalty we have for our brand and our members and that love and loyalty is given back 10 fold.

2.) How did you get into content creation/gaming?

I started out playing comp Halo after I got out of law enforcement in my early 20s and have been progressing from player to manager to owner of an org and now making content.

3.) What was the best video game and worst video game you have ever played? Why?

The best game played had to be Halo and Halo 2. Having LAN parties at someone’s house made for great times.  I don’t know if I had a worst game but the current start of games like Warzone can fill that spot since its nothing but cheaters.

4.) If you could collab with a community or influencer, who would it be?

This is a tough one because there are so many cool people in the scene I would love to work with. Dr. Disrespect is a top choice for sure, I love the vibe he puts off when live and Summit1g is another one I would love to collab with I love his GTA RP.

5.) Who inspired you to start creating content or continues to inspire you?

Watching people like Summit1g and seeing how he is able to hold a crowd by just having a good time playing a game had a huge impact on me.

6.) What is something you want people to know about you?  

I am an old head lol. 39 years old and still gaming, have my own studio in my house that my wife built for me so I could keep doing what I love to do. I have 3 amazing kids that I play with from time to time and an amazing wife. Gaming has age limit so I’ll be doing this for a long time to come.

7.) We have gone 5 years into the future, what does your content look like?

I hope it looks and feels the same but with better quality lol. Growth comes from hard work so I do my best to keep busy and I hope one day that will pay off but if not gaming is a big part of who I am so as long as I’m having fun I’m ok with it

8.) What advice would you give to the next new creator that you wish you were given?

Never quit, push thru all the hard times and learn everything you can learn to help making your content better.

9.) Hot dog or glizzy?

I’ll go with hot dog haha

10.) Finally, if you were any animal, what would you be and why?

A hawk. Powerful, majestic and I could fly.

10.) Finally, if you were any animal, what would you be and why?

A koala, just cause ?

1.) What is the one thing you love about your community? 

Fun and supportive. They enjoy watching myself punish myself repeatedly while playing hardcore survival or difficulty mode games.

2.) How did you get into content creation/gaming? 

I was born into it before most people knew what it meant to be called a gamer or it being a term. While everyone barely had Nintendo’s or SNES, I had my own 386 computer where I played the original Star Wars games X-Wing, Tie Fighter or the top-down tactical game Syndicate. Computers in schools were still Apple IIe models, but I preferred to be in there playing Oregon Trail and such (instead of the educational games). In Jr High I learned to program in QBasic on the Apple IIe so I could make text-based games. which never worked.

Having ADHD generation of kids who were had to take daze making prescriptions, games I was able to focus and calm my mind as well as same effect from high adrenaline games like Basketball as a kid (which later turned into paintball as an adult)

3.) What was the best video game and worst video game you have ever played? Why?

Best game – Loaded question, I love games with great mechanics, story and engagement. So on that note, Mass Effect, second being Dragon Age and then Fallout/Elder Scroll games. Worse game – Rage 1 on release – first real truly broken game on release by ID Software before the drama of No Man Sky.

But for me I do Absolutely love playing my modded Space engineers because it takes care of my base building survival needs and the creative needs.

4.) If you could collab with a community or influencer, who would it be?

I strongly want to be collabing more with the Space Engineers community with players such as Splitsie/Cacpac or W4stedSpace and his crew. I want it so much that I am putting a lot on myself to make sure my NPC Mod I am developing for Space Engineers generates some of that attention/interest.

5.) Who inspired you to start creating content or continues to inspire you? 

I’ve been streaming for almost over 6 years. I was around before the current big streamers were big but since I worked a career, I never was able to do it full time to make Partner but that is still a dream/goal. DeeJayKnight was one such person I loved to watch and early on helped me become better but I did not get to have the best first meeting I wanted at Twitchcon as he was busy at the time with his many events.

One other thing that keeps me going is a speech that I keep in my intro video which is a centerpiece of my mindset and how I continue, no matter the mental stress, hardship and I feel even today more people should look to it.

It comes from the movie Balboa with Sly Stallone when he as his retired boxer character Rocky Balboa is talking to his adult son. “Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place, and I don’t care how tough you are… it will beat you to your knees and keep you there if you let it. You, me or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard you hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit… and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done!”

This speech keeps me going, gets me hyped/pumped and gets me ready every stream to give the best content.

6.) What is something you want people to know about you?  

Even though I’ve had a career of working in IT for 17 years, recently being a IT Systems Engineer / Project and Team Lead at Amazon, I also worked as a bouncer, security, and a Wildland Firefighter in college. I had one time tried to pursue becoming a firefighter but did not want to be in EMT.

In Highschool I aspired to be in the Navy, but I ended up moving my senior year which happened to be 9/11 and at the time recruiters then had the pick of the best and I wasn’t in shape or mindset to fit what I felt was needed to excel. After Highschool, I had a good friend who knew more about computers than even I did get me into community college and the rest was history.

7.) We have gone 5 years into the future, what does your content look like? 

I am hoping my scenes involve more to match my community, the crew of the Stream-ship Andromeda. I am still searching for a great GFX to make my dream intro videos come true.

8.) What advice would you give to the next new creator that you wish you were given?

Don’t tag spam or rt spam.

9.) Hot dog or glizzy? 

Only ever heard them called hard dogs. I’m west coast AZ born.

10.) Finally, if you were any animal, what would you be and why?

I am an animal lover but every game where I have some type of functional pet (pet that helps in combat or something) is usually a wolf of some sort. I loved the movie Beastmaster as a kid and the movie LadyHawk and when I wished I had those abilities, I always saw myself being able to summon or be a wolf and talk or see from a Hawk/Eagle type bird.

1.) What is the one thing you love about your community?

Where do I begin? One thing I love is that no matter what, even if it is 1 minute or the entire stream, they come spend time with me but above all else they like my tweets, comment, share and just overall help me gain exposure when they cannot come hangout.

The love and support they show is worth everything to me. I am truly blessed to have the friends I do. Especially those that picked me up when I wanted to quit. That truly ignited the flame in me to keep going and being there for them.

2.) How did you get into content creation/gaming?

I have been playing games since I could hold a controller, but I always thought the idea of me being on screen would never go well as I have/had a severe lack of self confidence not only in the content I would/could produce but also how self-conscious I am of how I look. Being a disabled veteran and having limited job choices COVID left me at home playing video games due to losing my livelihood so I said why not? Why not me? Why can’t I throw on a camera and have fun?

So, I did, and I regret not doing it sooner. I love it! I love helping people, meeting new friends, interacting with strangers and overall sharing common interests with those I could never have had the ability to before.

3.) What was the best video game and worst video game you have ever played? Why?

Best game? I would have to say Dino Crisis. There is no link to the gameplay or story necessarily, but it was the first game I ever truly played through entirely with my dad and the nostalgia and memory of the game is just near and dear to my heart.

Worst game? Probably Fallout 76. It was basically an expensive mod for Fallout 4 that was just not worth the time it took them to make it. Truly awful.

4.) If you could collab with a community or influencer, who would it be?

This is a tough one. So many great names come to mind and deserve recognition but probably Lordminion777. I honestly just enjoy his content, his community, where he has come from as far as the world of content creating goes and everything he is doing.

5.) Who inspired you to start creating content or continues to inspire you?

Watching Lordminion777 truly inspired me to take the plunge but truthfully it was my wife. She knew it was going be tough at first at take a lot of time away from her as well as family stuff and though there were times she wanted me to quit or move on (even though she may not have vocalized it) she told me to just do it and for that I am eternally grateful.

She is my rock in this and kept me grounded since the start. For that I love and treasure her more than she knows.

6.) What is something you want people to know about you?

I love to help people. I want to help everyone I can whether it is on Twitch or real life. It is a dream of mine to start a non-profit to help not only Veterans but anyone in need in general. I do not boast or post much about the work I do or help I provide because the clout is meaningless to me.

Also, even though I am always super happy and upbeat I do struggle with my own demons and issues and if there is one thing I learned while dealing with this is that its ok not to be ok. If you are unhappy like I was, find what is making you unhappy and either cut it out or find a way to grow from it. I used to be very angry, hateful, stressed, etc. and for no reason whatsoever other than I thought I needed to be. It takes a lot to step back and reflect on yourself but if I can do it so can you.

7.) We have gone 5 years into the future, what does your content look like?

It sounds cliché but we will get there when we get there. I do not want to count my chickens before they hatch so to speak but I will say this hold on for dear life because come hell or high water we are going places.

8.) What advice would you give to the next new creator that you wish you were given?

Please, do not fall for Follow for Follow schemes, do not think those “post your link below so I can follow” posts are going to help you, they are for clout nothing more. You do not need to be in 200 discords, and if you are do more than self-promo. Also, the chance of you becoming famous or Ninja like overnight is 1 in a trillion so focus on you and your brand then in due time you will get there. Some advice I have may be mean or harsh but if you ever need some, reach out to me. It is what I am here for.

9.) Hot dog or glizzy?

I assume a glizzy is a hot dog but truthfully, I have no idea, so hot dog it is.

10.) Finally, if you were any animal, what would you be and why?

If I could be any animal, I would probably say Grizzly bear.

I like to eat, sleep and be left alone. I do not bother or yell at people unless bothered or in a position where I need to defend myself or others. My wife tells me I’m a grizzly bear anyway with my demeanor and candor and after thinking on it I feel it is fitting for my personality.

1.) What is the one thing you love about your community?

I love how supportive and welcoming everyone is, within my community and those who are in the gaming community in general. 

2.) How did you get into content creation/gaming?

I got into content creating at the encouragement of a few friends. I started to befriend a lot of streamers on twitter and saw how much they enjoyed doing it.

3.) What was the best video game and worst video game you have ever played? Why?

The best video game I’ve ever played is probably Zelda BOTW or Fire Emblem Three Houses. Both of which my cousin suggested to me. We have the same taste, but it might be because he is the one who introduced me to video games. 

Okay this took a lot of thought, the worst game I’ve ever played was Rampage for the GameCube. I only played it because my younger brother enjoyed it.

4.) If you could collab with a community or influencer, who would it be?

Definitely Nintendo. I don’t know how it would work, but up until a year ago, I only played Nintendo consoles. I only switched to PS4 so I could start streaming!

5.) Who inspired you to start creating content or continues to inspire you?

Audree (DarlinSincerest) was one of the first people I reached out to for advice, and I definitely wouldn’t have gotten this far without her help. 

6.) What is something you want people to know about you?

I am the most forgetful person, especially on stream. Chat is always there to remind me

7.) We have gone 5 years into the future, what does your content look like?

I’d like to think that I’d be a partner, or at least very close. I want to be the type of creator that makes everyone feel welcome and relaxed. Luckily, I’ve found a very supportive community that I know will continue to encourage me.

8.) What advice would you give to the next new creator that you wish you were given?

Long streams on the path to affiliate will only make it harder. Also, play what brings you joy. Content comes to life when you love what you’re doing!

9.) Hot dog or glizzy?

 Hot dog, but I don’t eat them anyway lol

10.) Finally, if you were any animal, what would you be and why?

I would be a wolf. I like the idea of travelling and being in a group similar to me!

10.) Finally, if you were any animal, what would you be and why?

I’d have to say wolf. They are a community/family based animal who are also very majestic. 

1.) What is the one thing you love about your community?

What I love about my community the most is how pure and helpful they are. People can come into my chat and talk about their whole day in peace with no judgement only help. My community is growing into something I been wanting since I picked up streaming.

2.) How did you get into content creation/gaming?

What got me into gaming was actually one of my childhood friends named Andrew. He bought me Modern Warfare on launch telling me if he bought me the game I must take the streaming world serious. I started off with a PS4, a TV and also my phone to read chat. Now I have 4 monitors and my second PC. I’ve invested so much into my career so far and I don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

3.) What was the best video game and worst video game you have ever played? Why?

Best video game I ever played was Black Ops 2. I used to try to trickshot all the time and coming home to that main menu after school was the most satisfying thing in my childhood.

Worst game was NBA2K. The game has gone downhill ever since the end of 2k17. The servers are bad and always have huge latency. The game hasn’t been balanced in so long. Plus people use zens that let them greenlight everytime.

4.) If you could collab with a community or influencer, who would it be?

The one person I would collab with the most is MuTex. He is a big inspiration of mine from the start of my true grind. I watch his streams when he plays really serious then apply his IQ to mold my own playstyle. He hosted me a month or two ago and his community was really amazing. His whole community was surprised with my gameplay because I play cracked but I’m overlooked because of my KD.

5.) Who inspired you to start creating content or continues to inspire you?

My childhood friend Andrew inspired me to stream but Mutex is my biggest inspiration right now.

6.) What is something you want people to know about you?

I am the kindest and most supportive person ever. If you ever need anything you should never be afraid to ask me anything. Also I am a true grinder. I stream for a long time everyday, for the last 222 days.

7.) We have gone 5 years into the future, what does your content look like?

Variety Content all across the board. Funny moments, Reaction Videos, RPG GAMEPLAY. Of course FPS will be on there as well but I will be hitting the most insane shots in those FPS games.

8.) What advice would you give to the next new creator that you wish you were given?

Don’t self promote just look for someone new who fits your liking of streaming get to know them and their community so you can network the right way. Also don’t look at your viewer count. A lot of my beginning streams was 1 viewer for 8+ hours and I still never gave up.

9.) Hot dog or glizzy?

PAUSE

10.) Finally, if you were any animal, what would you be and why?

An owl, because that is the spirit animal of wisdom and that’s what I wish to acquire fully.

1.) What is the one thing you love about your community?

I love that my community are apart of the goal that I’m trying to reach as a streamer and make sure to give back to them back to say thank you for their support.

2.) How did you get into content creation/gaming?

I watch a lot of streamers play video games and I thought to myself I wonder if I could do that too so I just gave it a try and I thought I’d never get this far.

3.) What was the best video game and worst video game you have ever played? Why?

My favorite game is probably between Call of Duty Black Ops 1 and 2 because the games were so well both multiplayer campaign and zombies especially because I put so many hours into both games and I enjoyed every moment of it especially playing with my friends. The worst game I’d probably say Modern Warfare remastered because it reminded of the things I hated about that game and Call of Duty in general.

4.) If you could collab with a community or influencer, who would it be?

It would be TimTheTatMan because he’s literally my favorite streamer of all time.

5.) Who inspired you to start creating content or continues to inspire you?

TimTheTatMan the way he entertains his audience is really inspiring.

6.) What is something you want people to know about you?

That I’m just a black man who really enjoys playing video games and likes to share the experience with others and represent for my black community.

7.) We have gone 5 years into the future, what does your content look like?

Hopefully I’ll have 1 million followers on twitch and at least 10k subs between now and then.

8.) What advice would you give to the next new creator that you wish you were given?

Be yourself, do what you like to do the most to separate you from other content creators.

9.) Hot dog or glizzy?

Glizzy duh.

10.) Finally, if you were any animal, what would you be and why?

I would be a tiger because I have ambitions to reach my goal as a streamer.
