    @QueenTomato (Tamara) The fact that the gaming online community is in my book one, if not the biggest influential platform for minors. ( if it wasn't for my online friends back in the day, i wouldn't be here today.

    People have a bad perspective when speaking about the gaming side of the fence. They become... Judgemental. Judging the book at face value. Due to this huge online family, people find themselves, unlocking new capabilities and passion, otherwise they never knew existed. Im a prime example.

    What one might find amongst these woods can change your entire life overnight. The possibilities are ends less with no end game.

    The excitement you still feel when logging into a game the joy of completing or starting content or after recording edits, the rush, clammy hands is suspenseful scenarios, the enjoyment of every moment even the toxic ones.

    Here, online in our family community ( the gamers) its a all in one package. Love, drama, suspense, heart ache, fun, laughter the list goes on.

    This is our world... Our reality and i wouldn't change a thing.

    Hiii Tamara! Thanks for the warm welcome!

    My character in my avatar is Ahri from League of Legends, she's a 9 tailed fox who will charm you.. into death haha. Not for me though, she just charmed me with her design.

    I actually started streaming because back in the day my parents used to be very strict when it would come to going out so I would get pretty lonely. I never thought I would be doing anything out of it other than a hobby, but it did provide me with some amazing opportunities along the way + meeting A LOT of amazing people.

    My stream path did have some major downs (more than ups sadly), as I've been dealing with severe depression for quite some years already, which put a toll into me and my energy, but luckily for the past year I've been improving my mental health greatly so I'm trying my best to recover from the "loss" my channel had to face.

    I'm looking forward to being a part of the Legion community as I love meeting and interacting with new people <3

    Couldn't agree more :) I do believe that gaming brings people together and you can meet a lot of lovely people online!

    When you say it was a big part of you growing up, it reminds me a lot about my brother as well who shares the same feeling🤗

    Whereas many gaming communities feel toxic, unwelcoming and unrepresentative of the role gaming is playing in people's lives, the legion community was created to ALWAYS be a safe, engaging space online for all gamers so welcome again😁

    It's awesome to hear that you were able to find a hobby that helped you when things got lonely and I'm sorry to hear you were going through a hard time.. everyone is going through their own struggles and this is why it's always important to be kind to one another. I'm happy to hear that you're improving your mental health, this shows a lot of strength so keep it up🤗

    Hi guys, my name is Erika, aka Bangtangel. I'm from South Africa and I game on PC. If you ask me "what are your fave games" I will draw blank and can't remember a game title to save my life lol. However, I do play multiplayer games with friends mostly, like Sea of Thieves, Phasmophobia, Rainbow Six Siege, etc. Just a variety really.

    I don't stream yet, but I hope I can try it out someday in the future when I've upgraded all the necessary parts on my PC. For now I just have YouTube channels. I love video editing, especially editing gaming videos.

    Hi Everyone

    I am The Jude

    A small time youtuber and big time gamer, I have been playing PC games since back in the day and recall my first PC taking so long to load a level of half life 1 i could make lunch and eat it before the level loaded.

    I absolutely love racing games have two world record laptimes in Project Cars 2

    I am also regularly involved in hosting gaming events for companies, schools, students and helping people learn about gaming wherever possible, William is my cat and he enjoys sitting on my keyboard while I am trying to game and pressing the handbrake causing me to crash
