Can’t shoot straight, don’t understand maps, shocking memory &…. what was I saying….! 🤔

I am a Content Creator who also Live Streams. I love playing video games, talking about video games and I also write about them as I am an editor for a gaming magazine.

What genre of game do I play? Indie games & story driven games mostly.

Other than that my time is taken up being a Mamma. Yes, I am half Italian and you will find the odd Italian word or phrase being dropped into my streams. Particularly when I become excited 😎

Too many games not enough time!
