I'm Dinky Dana and I love video games! My stream is not only about video games, but creating a community where you can chat, make friends, and feel welcome each time you join. So welcome to the stream, say hi, and become a part of the community! My background...After graduating with a degree in Electrical Engineering from Penn State University, I decided to take my career in the direction of coding, web development, and digital marketing. While working full-time developing cybersecurity software, I experimented with social media (specifically YouTube and Twitch). I was able to grow my YouTube channel to over 10 million views and expand my Twitch channel to 25k+ followers. I decided to combine my coding, development, SEO, and social media skills to go full-time on my own business helping others grow their brands, create engaging content, and bring more people to their businesses and websites. So if you need help with your website and growing your audience, let me know!

My website is a free social media platform designed to create a community where video gamers can catalog their game collections, write blog articles, create their own gaming music playlists, and share their love of video games with others. It also provides a video game price guide, video game store locator, and lots of other tools to help you find the video games you're looking for at decent prices. I also have a [SEO and Social Media Business](https://levelingupyourgame.com) website if you are interested in growing your Twitch traffic, website traffic, or social media following.

Collect points the longer you watch the stream. Check your current balance by typing "!points" in the chat. Many giveaways are free to enter, but some cost points. For example, if it costs 5 points to enter a giveaway and you have 25 points, you can enter 5 times to increase your chance to win. Follow for other rewards to use your points on!

#When do you stream? I stream two days a week. Usually Saturday night and either Mon/Tue/Wed. If a game is really good, I stream more. #Is streaming your job? I would love it if I could stream full time, but unfortunately, it does not pay all the bills. I started my own SEO & Social Media Marketing business which is my full-time job. #What is your world record? My world record is for max points (6,553,500) in Contra on my favorite console, the Nintendo NES. I had to complete Contra 9 times in a row using no continues and no Konami Code. #When did you start streaming? I started streaming in March 2014. I began posting YouTube videos back in 2009. #What are your favorite video games?

I stream to hang out and have fun with everyone in chat. I do not deal with trolls and backseat gamers. I am very strict with my rules, and mods can ban without warning. Do not argue with the mods - send me a PM if you have a concern. ###Please do not: 1.) use hateful, racist, or discriminative language 2.) cause drama with, bicker with, or insult your fellow chatters 3.) be a backseat gamer (give tips) unless I ask for help 4.) give out spoilers on blind runs 5.) post links without asking me or the mods 6.) spam or advertise other channels 7.) use excessive chat **[IMPORTANT]** To ensure that the stream is a great place for everyone to chat, please be aware that excessively chatting about a topic (or roleplay) with one person or a small group of people can make it difficult for others to use the chat space. Use the PM function in this case. The mods must timeout any excessive chat . That's it! I'm laid back, so enjoy the chat. Get to know each other, and have fun. If we warn you to tone it down, listen the first time so we do not have to time you out!
