Based on my Xbox data, it appears the top one percent of players still put in almost double the time of even those in the 98th percentile. Theoretically, the 98th percentile has spent half as much time in the game and would therefore still not be quite as good as the top one perc

Octane has a steampunk inspired skin full of gears, pocket watches, and a big ol’ honking Flavor Flav clock on his chest. His helmet is also reminiscent of The Rocketeer , which makes us want to go watch that movie

The Geth is a mysterious entity that was generally considered to be an enemy for the longest time before Legion showed up, that is. This character showed a side of the Geth that had yet to be explored in the Mass Effect seri

He offers suggestions on how to act on stream, which essentially amounts to a heightened version of oneself: "Smile a little bigger, be a little louder, wave your arms a little wider." He highlights building a community, something I’ve inadvertently been doing anyway through my obsession with this g

Ninja also impresses how important it is to advertise the stream. I haven’t been the best at this, but when I do it, I definitely get more engagement. Turns out it's hard for people to find your stream if they don't even know you stream. W
