Who's Ready to Play?!?!
and 
the audio issues from yesterday have been worked out. Thanks you two!Tonight I'll be playing Overwatch and anyone who would like to join me is welcome. Instructions are below.
This next Friday, October 14th at 7 PM CST I would like to get a Steemit group of gamers together to have a fun time.
Since not everybody owns Overwatch, next week I'll be playing League of Legends (completely free to download and play) with any Steemians who would like to join. I'll stream the whole event and include it in a Steemit post so we can make people jealous with all the fun were going to have! Feel Free to stream and post it yourselves too!
How To Join Me
