Good morning everyone! I hope we all had a great fathers day weekend! I tried posting several clips to TikTok today and all of them got muted with no explanation. I use Pretzel for my music so it is all DCMA-free and has no issues on any other platform.

I don’t want to give up on TikTok as it is my most followed platform but due to this issue, you may see fewer clips on there. Make sure to subscribe to the youtube channel (it’s free!) and follow me on Instagram. I will be posting there more often until TikTok can get its act together.

What’s up everyone!

In an effort to improve stream and VOD quality I made some upgrades! Got myself another 8 gig stick of ram for my gaming PC which brings me up to 24 gigs total. This is big for me as I have never had a PC with more than 16 before. So far I do notice it seems a little smoother and video editing is definitely going better now that I have more RAM. 16 was more than enough to game with but I was topping out when I tried to make edits. Hopefully, this means more YouTube content in the near future. There is a new VOD up so make sure to check it out!

I also got the elgato MK.2 HD+ 4k Pro capture card which had some freezing issues but we got that straightened out now...

Hello all!

First off, I will be posting more on the site. General updates and such. In good news, I have a new capture card that is bringing higher quality to the stream. The stream looked ok before but the replays always looked a little grainy making my TikToks and YouTube stuff not look ideal. I went from a $30 cheap off-brand USB 3.0 card to a PCIe Elgato 4k card. The image looks great but I am still tweaking things. Luckily, Xsplit is amazing!

Speaking of Xsplit I am now an affiliate partner. I don’t join affiliate programs as most are scams or too hard to vet but I have been using Xsplit for over 2 years and LOVE their products...

Last week was tough on me for some reason. Just tired and worn down the whole week. With the weather changing my allergies are in full swing causing some issues for me personally. Sorry for the lack of streams and content but this week should be somewhat normal!

Hi everyone!

I hope we are doing great! First off, I am sorry the stream schedule has been whacky the last month or so. My energy levels have been really low which is normal for me this time of year but affecting my life. I hope to be back to a full week of streams soon but make sure you join the discord for updates as they happen.

I did have an incredible month on YouTube and would like to thank everyone for their support! We almost hit our goal of 300 subscribers by the end of last month and had over 10k views on the channel! This is amazing to me and a far cry from the 30-50 views a month I was getting 2 years ago! The majority of these views were from the short feed so it didn’t help much with watch time but the new subscribers and community members is showing we are growing a...

What is up everyone!

Hope last week was good for everyone. I missed Monday’s stream due to it being valentines day! Was able to make the stream up yesterday during the day on YouTube! This week should be pretty normal for the most part. Tonight is Halo on YouTube then Rocket League the rest of the week on Twitch! Please go sub to the YouTube channel and make sure you are on the discord for live updates. Random streams outside of the schedule will be notified there.

Well, it is no secret I missed some streams last week. First off I am sorry. We had a rough week trying to adopt a dog we fell in love with. Long story short he is home now and adjusting. Hopefully, this week goes as planned, of course, make sure to join the discord and follow me on Twitter for live updates.

I was asked on Saturday why I wait for my wife to get out of work to stream and that can be confusing if you don’t know. Long story short, we have a child who can not look after himself yet and thus I don’t want to be in the basement alone with him in his room two floors up just in case he wakes up or isn’t asleep yet. My wife also doesn’t drive. This means when she gets out later I would also have to stop the stream when she gets out to go get her...

Hope everyone is doing great! Tonight I am streaming at 8 pm est on Twitch as normal. Tomorrow will be around 10 pm est. Tonight is extra modes (Rumble, Hoops, Snowday) so if you want to play with me join the discord and let me know! You can also just say so live. Tomorrow is going to be 3v3 and 2v2. Going to try and rank up a little if we can.

For the website, I will be adding back the stream schedule. This was something we lost when I was dealing with a hacking situation on the site. Several security measures have been taken to secure the site and all hack attempts have stopped so we can continue development!
