Hi, my name is Mark and I am a life long gamer. A mature gamer who has seen many changes in the games industry over the years. My first ever game was the infamous Pong followed by my Dad getting the Atari 2600. I am new to streaming, my first stream was for Extra Life 2016 and I really enjoyed it so want to stream as often as I can. I am a co host on the Overseas Connection Podcast and we broadcast every Sunday at 9pm UK time on twitch.tv/ocpodcast. Thanks for stopping by and hit that Follow button please!

You can get me on Twitter @Markanix. I am also Markanix on Xbox Live, PSN and Steam. I have an Xbox One, PS4 and a slightly above average PC ;) I only stream occasionally as I work full time and have tons of family commitments etc. I stream via an Elgato HD60 and my PC. All my graphics and videos are produced on my iMac.

Historically I have taken part in the fantastic Extra Life 24 hour charity gaming event for several years raising money for sick kids in the US. This year I wanted it to be more UK focussed so I have decided to do the Macmillan Game Heroes 24 hour charity gaming event running in conjunction with Extra Life. This is a great cause, we all know someone affected by cancer. My father died from bowel cancer in 2010 so this means a lot to me. I would be much obliged if you would take the time to read the info in the link (just click the Game Heroes image) and if possible please make a donation, no matter how small it all helps. I am live streaming the whole 24 hours so pop in and say hello in the chat to cheer me on!! You can also text a donation, simply send MKNX70 £(amount) to 70070.
