Gaming in my life
I've been a gamer for as long as I can remember. I started out playing on a GameCube and DS when I was young, later graduating to the Wii, XBox360, PS4, and eventually a gaming PC.
I enjoy all kinds of games; my tastes have changed over time, but I like all of the following kinds: online multiplayer/competitive, story-based, sports games, puzzle games, music/rhythm games, and more.
When I started college, I began playing Rocket League, which would go on to be an important turning point in my life. I've made some of my closest friends as I climbed the ranked ladder in that game all the way to the top.
(I am only mildly embarrassed of the number of hours I have in the game.) I got involved in the clubs at both UMD and UT, and played on competitive teams for both universities.
I sometimes stream on my twitch channel: twitch.tv/abenda19.
