It’s-a me! Anabela! Today I’m a small variety streamer with a passion for friends, community, and good games. Destructoid’s recent “So You Think You Can Stream?” competition gave me the opportunity to work alongside them in content creation. But, how exactly did I get here?
Thanks to my older brother, I was introduced to my first game at age 6: Pokemon trading cards. It wasn’t until I was 9 that I got a Gameboy along with Fire Red, and after that I was completely hooked. I still keep relatively up to date with new Pokemon trends, but my heart lies in Gen 3 of the games. My soul, however, belongs to Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team & Explorers of Sky. Seriously, go play both of those games if you haven’t. Right now.
Shortly after Pokemon came ’07 RuneScape, and I blame my love of RuneScape for what type of gamer I am today. It’s not my fault that I need to try to min-max every game, ok? In essence, I have a vivid imagination, so fantasy MMO/RPG’s where I can really immerse, became my all time favorite genre. I’m hungrier than Aldrich for lore and love to drink in the music and scenery of a game. For this reason, games such as Skyrim, World of Warcraft, Dark Souls, and The Witcher 3 rapidly grew on me.
So, around this time last year, I started streaming. Why not share the hobbies you love while chatting about why you love them? To me, that’s one of the best opportunities the internet has to offer! I wanted to share a passion for my favorite games while playing through new ones together, and it’s incredible to have made so many wonderful friends along the way.
