Rarely do I have the chance to get coached by an expert in anything, let alone video games.

Last week we had some fun on the Twitch.TV live stream with StarCraft 2 commentator and former pro-gamer Marcus “djWHEAT” Graham.

In the simplest terms, djWHEAT is like the Julie Chen of eSports (competitive video gaming). He announces a lot of major gaming events and is an avid gamer himself.

I met Marcus last October through a random chance tweet, and we’ve connected ever since (you can read about how we connected here).

Last week we dual-streamed Starcraft 2 on Twitch.TV (dual broad-casted).

Being a complete newbie in Starcraft 2 and djWHEAT being an expert, it made for an interesting stream.

You can check out the highlights here:

A big thank you to djWHEAT for showing me the StarCraft 2 ropes!

Dan-Gheesling-NESGrowing up with an original NES and an Atari ST I’ve always loved video and computer games.

There were times growing up when I’d get to stay up late as a kid playing games with my Dad, and then after having to go to bed, I would sneak out to see my Dad still playing Zelda 2: The Adventure of Link.

(If he got really far in the game without me, he would VHS tape it so I could watch it the next day, freaking awesome.)

There were times when my sister and I would get into an all out brawl because I “accidentally” attacked her in Balloon Fight. [click to continue…]

Dan-Gheesling-Binding-Of-Isaac

This week’s gaming video is centered around the game “The Binding of Isaac.”

At first glance its a very twisted game, but it plays a lot like the old school NES classic Zelda.

The game is very difficult and is different every time you play it, which is why I have logged so many hours playing it!

You can find this game on Steam for anywhere from $5-$10. In terms of gaming dollars, I’ve gotten my money out of it 10x. It’s a blast to play.

Team Mist Contest

Heading back into a Big Brother house is something I wasn’t sure I would ever do again. When the opportunity to enter the Big Brother Canada house came up, of course I jumped at the chance, because it’s only for a short amount of time. Not another 75+ day grind-a-thon. This time around heading back [...]
