    How Video Games Satisfy Basic Human Needs

    By Brandykins1982, in Frontpage,


    My apologies for not getting more Stream Team news up lately! 
    But there's going to be a LOT of news regarding the stream team in the coming weeks. 
    In the meantime, check out this month's Streamer Showcase for October: our very own JaysonsRage! You can find him on Twitch at http://www.twitch.tv/jaysonsrage!
    How long have you been streaming?:   On and off, about 2 years now. More seriously a year ago though.  
    How did you find the AJSA?:  I was a fan of Joe and it was mentioned in a video! I wanted some peeps to play my PS4 with, which is all I had at the time.  
    How did you become a member of the AJSA Stream Team?:  The commander of the PS4 division (wassup, Stick) saw that I knew how to do videos and streaming and said “You. You're coming with me” essentially. I don't think I'd be here or running the YouTube channel without him. When I saw there was a stream team and the channel I said “I'm going right there.” And Stick made it happen cause he saw something in what I was doing. All sincerity, I owe him a lot.  
    What’s your style of streaming? What types of games do you typically like to play/stream?:  I stream quite a variety, as I love it all, but my true home is FPS games. I play a LOT of CSGO.  
     
    What is your favorite game, the game that you always end up going back to?:  At the end of the day, Doom is my favorite game of all time. It is why I love gaming. Hell, I was raised on it. Doom.  
     
    Whereabouts can people find you on Twitter, Youtube, etc.?  Twitter:   www.twitter.com/jaysonsrage Youtube:  http://www.youtube.com/jaysonsrage  AJSAGaming Youtube:  http://www.youtube.com/AJSAGaming
