Ok, so as I’m sitting here writing this it’s like 9am and I’m still super tired, need dat caffeine fix pronto! (or whatever is in Yerba Mate tea, I’m not big on coffee but I’ll talk about that in a later post).

I’m running on about 3hrs of sleep bc I was working on building a softbox for the new lamp I got as lighting for the stream, and I’ll be damned if I’m spending $30 when I built this one for $5! Actually, that’s not fair, if the softbox thing makes the stream look good I’ll probably buy a professional one, I just wanted to try it out first before I committed to anything (I’m really big on testing things before I spend a ton of money on it).

A little background on what I’ve been doing. I’ve been a viewer of streams since the days of Justin.tv, XFire, and an avid watcher of a ton of different streamers since Twitch.tv launched. I think I had always wanted to try it out but kept making excuses as to why I didn’t (not a good enough computer, not good enough internet, no good mic, wasn’t good at a game, etc.) but basically never even tried. So i started the stream twitch.tv/legbracestv (totally a plug, go watch it!) at the beginning of September of 2015, and holy crap I FRIGGIN LOVED IT!!!
