They call me Blonde! I live with my three cats in the Midwest USA. Full [Linktree](https://linktr.ee/blonde.show) Socials are here! I've been playing video games for 30+ years, and writing about and reviewing them for 10+ years. These days I am a freelance videogame QA, Playtester, reviewer and streamer. Some streams are of me just playing games I like, some streams are active playtests giving real time feedback and experiences. I was a co-host of the [Drop Bear Gaming](http://dropbeargaming.com) podcast (back from the Motherland) until I moved to the US, and now do the occasional guest appearance. I began streaming in 2016 as I decided it was time to now be seen AND heard for a change. I was formerly part of the Editorial Crew for [G.Round](https://gameround.co/signup/BlondeMomentReviews) and stream game demos providing feedback directly to the game developers to help catch any bugs, issues, tips for polishing the game, or just an overall pat on the back for a well-made game. I'm a jackass of all trades, a night owl, and I try to find the fun in everything that I do. I really like sleeping too -- how else can I chase my dreams?

Apart from Twitch ToS and Community Guidelines, other rules are specifically set out when you're in the channel. Blonde and mods have zero tolerance for vitriolic behavior, so if you're timed out or banned, it's because of one or more of the following: + No song requests - yes, I'm a killjoy immediately. I love jamming my tunes while I game, and helps to keep me sane :P + Be kind! It costs nothing to be kind to one another. So please be kind towards Blonde, my gaming buddies, the mods, and people in chat. + Don't ask personal questions. My channel is focused on gaming and having a good time. + Don't have a console war. All gaming systems are pretty ace, in my opinion. + Always be respectful. If you wouldn't say it to a judge, your boss, or your mother, don't say it to me. + Game and Voicechat access are a sub perk. + 1v1 requests must include a donation of USD 1,000.00 Kappa + HAVE FUN!!! We're good people that like to have a good conversation, a good laugh, so join in the fun and say HELLO!
