History of Gaming
I have been a gamer most of my life. Being raised with 2 older brothers had its challenges, but it also brought me to my destiny. Video Games. It all started with Super Mario on the Super Nintendo and we were hooked. Starfox and Mario paint have fond memories for me. Then the Nintendo 64 came out and brought me Donkey Kong, Zelda, Banjo Kazooie, Conker’s Bad Fur Day and many more. Moved on to PS1 with horror games like Clock Tower, Resident Evil, Silent Hill. Too many games to list tbh. The real game changer was Golden Eye 007 (N64) It was the first FPS I picked up and I became addicted. As soon as Xbox came out with Halo, it was a wrap. I used to play LAN parties with my brothers and their friends. Ordering pizza, soda and setting up multiple TVs and Xbox in each room. We would have team captains pick their partners and we went crazy. Then, Halo 2 came out and changed gaming for me forever. I played that everyday all day, met my very first eboy and loved every minute of it. Then I started playing PS3 games casually until I found my ultimate love: World of Warcraft.
World of Warcraft
Alright, WoW needed its own section because of the significance of this game in my life. So even though I was a gamer for most of my life, I did have some very rough patches. I had lived on the streets for some years. Homeless, hungry, no clothes or showers etc. I was in a gang, selling drugs, being forced for sex, much much more (you can read about it in my blog.)
When WoW was introduced to me, I was still living the street life. There was a guy that my brother brought home from college and he got me to play it for him. At the time I had never played a computer game before. I was farming honor in battle grounds for him. I.. became.. obsessed. He showed me that I could make my own cute female characters. Very very quickly I stopped going out, stopped doing drugs, stopped going to juvie and putting my life on the line / causing more trauma in my life. I decided to focus on the game and level my warlock instead.
This game pulled me out of a path of a destruction spiral completely. As for school, it was too late. From living the street life, I didn’t go. I ended up dropping out as a 16 year old still stuck in the 9th grade. I was always smart, but dealing drugs to buy food and avoid death were my main concerns at the time, not education. Anyways, I ended up becoming addicted to WoW, getting my GED, starting college, graduating, reading books and just generally living a much healthier and happier life. The game completely changed me for the better. I have been playing it for 16 years. My WoW tattoos remind me everyday of the success I have made and how happier my life is. I have accomplished a lot within the game. Peaking at 2800exp in arenas and being number 2 in all of North America.
I currently play Wrath Classic and I honestly don’t ever see me not playing this game.
Call of Duty
The second most significant game in my life was Call of Duty. All of them. I started a bit later than everyone else, picking up Black Ops 1 as my first game, but man oh man, I remember coming home from college and playing it until sleep every night. I realized quickly that I was really good at it. I would play FFA lobbies and destroy every single guy that was yelling at me calling me “fatty” and telling me to “get back in the kitchen” oh the humor was great back then, wasn’t it? (It really wasn’t.)
I continued to play CoD until 2016, switched to Fortnite when it came out, but was also playing BO3. I was running GBs, UMGs, League Play and doing Wagers in custom games (and making a living off of it!) One of my friends mentioned that I should stream the games since I was level 1000 with a 5.6 KDA and insanely good at Search and Destroy. That’s what started my streaming career.
I switch to WoW later and now I play variety.
Streaming History
Call of Duty and Fortnite pretty much launched my career in content creation. I was a felon and couldn’t leave the state (I am a huge traveler and lived all over the country, you can read it in my blog.) Since I was confined to living in Idaho I decided to start streaming.
I started on YouTube in 2016 with Fortnite and Bo3. I didn’t like the layout, the community was also significantly younger (9-15) so I was very out of place.
I moved on to Twitch in 2017 starting with CoD but switch to WoW. Then I cultivated a 7,000 following on Twitch by playing World of Warcraft and other variety games. Then my friend reached out to me about Kick…
Kick Streaming
Kick.com is a newer platform to help content creators get what they deserve in the streaming world. For years I have been streaming on Twitch and felt robbed. Twitch takes 50% of all income made through the platform. By switching to Kick I have been able to make what I actually earn. My viewers work hard and it broke my heart to see half of everything they gave being taken away. Now every cent matters to both of us. 🤍
Twitch
Alternatively, if you really love Twitch, I do stream on the platform still. I use Restream to go live on both platforms. If you insist on giving them half your money, watching ads almost nonstop and supporting a platform that genuinrly doesn’t care about you or me. By all means, heres the link:
