Think of content creation/streaming like painting a canvas. The blank canvas is the foundation you work on, the colours are your ideas and the paintbrush is how you compose the picture and make it yours on this journey - This creativity mindset is what I've stuck with for years and I can't express how important it is to base off that.

1. Remember to have fun on this journey because you are showcasing the game that you enjoy to viewers which are there for YOU and not just the game.

2. Play the games that you like is so important because it gives you the directive flow of how to demonstrate it on your livestreams and content.

3. it's important to do some trial streams to make sure OBS is working right before committing to doing it fully for your first time. I know technical difficulties can't be helpful on your first few streams as that's okay as it is part of the process.

4. Make sure you have an idea of how you want to come as a streamer to newcomers and become unique to find your own niche.

5. Make sure to promote each time you are going live to let people know what you're doing.

6. Hardware is essential, even the basics of having a webcam and mic goes a long way.

There is many other tips I could state but streaming is a learning journey for us all.

The Ray Gun in all of the old school Call of Duty games with the upgrades you can choose to make the weapon stronger and attachments to kill all zombies within reach. I used to spend hours running that gun!

You get invited to go onto some field trip with lots of people in the sky, then do a big jump and pick some leftover weaponry killing people in your way

Mass Effect: Legendary Edition

I wanted to get this game in early on because it's a masterpiece to a whole community that have followed the 3 games in this trilogy. One trilogy that has a special place in my heart from the get-go especially as a first timer.

From the first few moments of Mass Effect 1, my instincts of how I thought this game would plan out proved to be very different into something incredible and emotional. I can't express at how detailed the storyline plans out covering the different races, worlds and characters you come across puzzling your way through a big vast world taking on the many side missions. The character and friendships/relationships you build across the 3 games is really unique and each decision you make impacts on how they feel about the situation, it also gives a sense of life or death on the cards which hits home. The engaging combat and multiple weapons/abilities you pick up along the way as well as different classes you can main your own Shepard is really cool to show what you're made of giving a full host of variety on the table. And most importantly you couldn't fault the dialogue that the developers have done to make every fine bit of detail whichever the circumstance can impact on how the gameplay is next.

It's easily one of the best games I've played in a long time and can't wait to play Andromeda!

The Motherlode and Kaching cheat codes from The Sims games were a lifesaver when playing them, I used to think I was a rich man living in luxury!

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (COD4) for me!

Everything about the game was so cool about it such as the awesome campaign, intense multiplayer functionalities they had, the lore between each character per mission you face in the campaign and the combat was all you needed in a traditional shooter game.

I still remember spending countless hours on my PS3 playing the multiplayer maps such as Terminal, Rust and Crossfire. Not to mention the OG killcam you got at the end of each game!

Having seen the presentations across the week of Summer Games Fest it's made me feel even more passionate to see so much creativity and talent has gone into the upcoming games over the next 12 months and beyond within the industry, I really enjoyed that the indie game developers got their spotlight to show off projects they've been working on to give their fans of whats to come, the Xbox showcase was awesome showing off new and restored games that are in development which the game studios have worked hard at some very impressive gameplay I've seen in titles. Ideally my favourite 3 games that I can't wait to play are Perfect Dark, Fable and Atomfall which is basically a British Fallout standalone game. Also Zombies returning to the new Black Ops game on round based? Hello that's a big yes from me!

Summer Games Fest improves each year continuing the legacy on from E3, it may not be the same as the once-loved expo we all got excited about every year but this new layout of game showcases is what gaming should really be about!

One of the biggest lessons I've learned from being a creator it has to be not feel jealous of everyone else's success and stay in your own lane.

I've watched many creator friends play the same game to be on the trends knowing that they don't really enjoy it deep inside them. This is one of the magical things about content creation is that you can make a name for yourself playing any kind of game as a content creator/streamer.

You have to trust the process in this and enjoy the journey, I'd like to pass this advise onto anyone that hopefully can have a similarity from this.

Children of the Sun is a nice, unique shooting game where you play the role of an archer with a bow and arrow winding their way through the different environments using the power of physics, the art style is very cool which appealed to my eye and the camera angle made it very immersive. The developers did a great job of capturing the immersion you get in a game.

I enjoyed the ninja combat physics that made the character sneaky when planning the attacks, definitely one to look out for!

Here is my first WASD experience, I have done 3 different video diaries for each day of my experience if you'd like to see them. (They're on my Google Drive) :)
