@RLEsports
team as an esports broadcast specialist!! I can't wait to start learning and growing with this fantastic team and contributing to more hype Rocket League broadcasts! ⚽️🚗
It’s finally official…
@WadePenfold
and I are homeowners!!! We can’t wait for the pups to have a yard (and for us to have separate offices 🤣). Now we’re REALLY Minnesotans 😍
Today is my final day at Psyonix. It's incredibly bittersweet, because I have so enjoyed my time at the company, on the esports team, and with the talent, working on an esport that I believe in and adore. (1/4)
I lost my best friend suddenly last night. For 12 years, he has been my constant, the Penny to my Desmond, through so many changes in my life. I’m a different person than when he came to me, and I’m not sure fully who I am without him. I miss you, Arnold.
I have been DYING to announce this! I’ll be hosting this season’s Rival Series alongside a team of fantastic analysts. I’m so grateful to get the chance to tell the stories and hype the plays of Rocket League players. We start tomorrow! 😃😃
I am so honored to announce that I’ll be a part of the crew for

I’m EXCITED TO THE EXTREME to get to experience the

Hey Heroes fam: voice comms is an issue we are all passionate about, so let’s try to approach each other with empathy. Both sides are making great points that don’t need to be muddled with the inability to recognize that we all have different experiences in life. Love you all <3
I'm so excited to finally announce that I'll be joining my friends
@WisdomGamingGrp
for my next adventure. I'm stoked to move to Minneapolis, and to make some dope content with some old friends! 😉
I’m thrilled to share that I’ve joined
@loadedgg
as Senior Director of Game Developer Sales! Everyone on the team has been really welcoming and helpful, and I’m so excited to get going! 🥳
This was taken after the last episode of Beyond the Nexus.
@WadePenfold
and I found out we got the
#HGC
NA job as we were finishing up the episode. A lot of the crew became the HGC official crew, a super passionate and dedicated group of people I loved working with ❤️.
@Zaeliaa
@psalm
@QuackNiix
Find that next passion, and give it the same love you gave HGC. And know that you have a whole community still behind you. ❤️
Hi, friends. Unfortunately, I have fallen under the weather and won’t be on the
#LANvegas
broadcast today 😭 Please join me in cheering on my friends, who will be rocking it as they’ve done all weekend! It’s going to be a fantastic Rocket League Championship Sunday!
I texted my mom to apologize for making her birth me at 6am years ago, and said it was the only time I was ever early. She said I’m never late either, always on time.
I asked if that made me a wizard. She said yes. You heard it here first.
Thank you al…
As I hit 19k followers, I want to thank you all for being a part of my journey in esports, and for all the positive feedback I received about my hosting of the
#HGC
Western Clash. I had volunteered for the role to work on that skillset, and had a blast!
It's hard not to be at BlizzCon after 6 years. It's hard, a year from HGC, to not see it there. Mainly, because we'll never get an answer on if anyone would have ever stopped MVP/KSV/GenG from winning😆.
It's hard not to be with my Blizz friends and family, the community we made
Merry Christmas from our little family to yours! ❄️ May your holidays be as happy and healthy as possible this season. With love, from Dread/
@WadePenfold

@Zaeliaa
@psalm
@QuackNiix
And I get to be a part of another community that has just as much passion and drive, and I am so grateful for that!
So HGC fam, if you are like me and miss HGC at BlizzCon or aren't there and feeling alone, I hope you feel a little comfort knowing I'm thinking of you.
I'm honored to announce that I've been promoted to SVP at
@WSDMGG
! We've so many great initiatives in the pipeline, and I can't wait to share more about our exciting 2022 soon!
Big thanks to my bosses for trusting in me, and to my coworkers for inspiring me daily🙏
But then I realize that it WAS, and still is, a community. And missing it means it was real. We've all started finding passions beyond HGC this year.
@Zaeliaa
is still winning in esports.
@psalm
won way too much money 🤣. And
@QuackNiix
is a freaking athlete, just to name a few
Thank you all who reached out with congratulations and kind words about my announcement! I'm actually a bit taken aback with how many responses there were. It was really special going through them, and a lot of happy tears were shed. Def feeling the esports family love! ❤️
A lot of people ask me how difficult it is to be a female caster but nobody asks about the impact it can have on my male co-casters. JHow has tweets calling him misogynistic, and that’s ridiculous. Every heroes caster has been nothing but respectful of me.
@JHowGaming
the lightning for Infernal Shrines is OUR favorite? I like your comments, but a remark like that takes the proffesionalism off the work.
@GillyweedTV
#HGC
In the meantime - RL players, community, talent - I'm not going far. I can't wait to enjoy games as a fan again, and you can bet I'll be cheering for you from wherever I am next!
Today, I did something I will never forget. I officiated a wedding for two of the warmest and most loving people I’ve ever met. It was magical, and I am so honored to have been part of it. 💜💚 Congrats, Laura and Brad!
Also, all that casting experience still comes in clutch! 🤣
I’ve been so fortunate to commentate
@BlizzHeroes
at three BlizzCons, and it’s been such an honor to be a part of the Beyond the Nexus crew that grew into today’s passionate
#HGC
crew. Happy anniversary,
@BlizzHeroes
! Here’s to many more memories! 💕
"I have developed a fear of going on camera underprepared, for fear of providing ammo to the faceless voices who do not want me there."
I really empathize with this. While casting I always felt like everything I said represented all women in gaming, and thus could never mess up.
Seeing so many people make an effort to support each other through tough times today reminded me that while we have many emotions surrounding HGC, there’s no denying the real community and family it gave us 💜. Tell me about a friendship you made/kept through Heroes/HGC!
Birthdays are a great time to reflect on your life experiences, to celebrate one’s journey into adulthood.
Or you say, “Fuck that!” and eat smiley face pancakes made by your boyfriend 🎊🎊🎊
I'm excited to announce that I'll be joining the
#HeroesoftheDorm
crew for the next part of the competition! I'll see you guys there on Wednesday for the Ro64! PS make sure to fill out your bracket!

#ootd
: Day 1. It means the world to me to wear a dress that gillyMom picked out for me. She got it on Amazon! She’s so happy it was selected for such a prestigious stage. Paired with some glitter bead bangles for pizazz.
Today was fantastic!…
When asked how she wanted to be remembered, RBG said: “Someone who used whatever talent she had to do her work to the very best of her ability. And to help repair tears in her society, to make things a little better through the use of whatever ability she has.”
RIP.
Working on
#RIVALS
has been fun beyond words. Thank you so much to
@RLEsports
for having me, to the community for welcoming me, and to all of the wonderful casters, who were nothing but supportive and great to work with! <3
My favorite human
@WadePenfold
is having surgery, and I’m not able to see him until I can pick him up tomorrow because COVID. So if you all could help me by sending him pet pics and well wishes (either here or directly) for when he wakes up, I would be so grateful 💕

Thank you to all the wonderful people who wanted to take pictures with me or have me sign things or just wanted to mee…
I’m so sorry for the issues friends. Did the best I could solo casting but it was MEGA distracting having a bunch of people fixing stuff while also solo casting, which I’ve never really done. We are working hard to fix the issue now! <3 thanks for your patience!
I'll share details on my new opportunity soon. It's another chance to share my passions with others, and I can't wait to make them, you, and myself proud. <3 (3/4)
Happy first day of October!!
@Defebwar
and I carved pumpkins to celebrate. I thought

Brightwing was appropriate for

The perfect photo as a memento of a stellar event. I’m so glad to have been a part of it! Thank you all for your love and support. Extra shoutout to the

people in the crowd. <3 Now, home.

@WadePenfold
just found out that we are going to Dublin for a surprise early birthday trip for him.
With all the stress and health problems he’s had to deal with this year, I’m so excited to get to celebrate by visiting a new place with him!
