CodyPIU - Streaming Gaming and Getting Healthy

in #introduceyourself6 years ago

  

Hey everyone, Cody here.

I just hit up Steemit to get involved with the community here. I will be mainly posting videogame related content. The occasional anime rant and foodie reviews too : )    
 

I’ve had my eye on Crypto for a while now and a couple of friends mentioned Steem along the way. With projects like @Dtube and @Dlive gaining traction, I thought about trying out streaming my content and keeping a blog.
 

Gaming
 

I have loved gaming since I was a kid, I have clocked countless hours into games on a spectrum of platforms. ;)
 

I currently own a PS4, XboxOne, Nintendo Switch and a gaming rig in need of a revamp. With limited time on my hands, I tend to steer towards games that don’t require too much of a grind (Not many MMORPG’s here). Playing with friends online was a game changer for me and I have tried many types of genres.
 

Currently playing:

PC – CS:GO / Fortnite / Human: Fall Flat / Starcraft (Sometimes..)  
 

PS4 - Dragonball FighterZ/ Monster Hunter: World / CoD WW2 / Fortnite / Street Fighter V
 

Xbox One – Gears Of War 4 / Forza Horizon 3
 

Switch – Zelda: BoTW / Mario Kart Deluxe
 

3DS – Phoenix Wright Series
 

I don’t consider myself a competitive player by any means and just play for leisure. DBfighterZ is probably a game I hope to get up to scratch on in the coming weeks, it’s been amazingly fun so far.
 

Arcading

So apart from console gaming, I belong to what I consider a pretty niche community – Arcade Music / Dance Gaming. I play Dance Dance Revolution, In The Groove and Pump It Up (primarily).  Pump It Up is a music game from Korea, consisting of 5 panels for each player or 10 in total for doubles play (one player playing both sides). I might post about my experience getting into this game. I’ve played on and off for a few years and have recently decided to start playing this religiously in an attempt to raise my skill level and most of all – Improve my fitness.
 

I have travelled to different parts of the world and met players all over. This is probably one of the most unique hobbies I’ve picked up and has allowed me to collet with all kinds of awesome people. The game is played on an international scale and I love how diverse the fan base is.
 

When I first started playing this game in the arcade I became obsessed with learning how to time movements, manoeuvre correctly around the dance stage and read challenging song steps. The arcade I played at eventually shut down and I was left out to dry.
 

So what did I do in a dance game drought? I was far from giving up, I decided to save my money and invest in my own cabinet!


 




I was pretty ecstatic to pick up and own such a huge machine at home and knew it was going to need a lot of TLC to get into working order. Fixing the dance stage, the sensors, replacing the computer and screen were just a few of the things I knew had to be done to get setup at home.
 


 

After searching for replacement parts I managed to bag myself a brand new dance stage with shiny new panels! The old cabinet was way too big in to keep so I sold it off and wired up my brand new pads to a custom built PC. Paired with a mounted monitor and speakers, I finally have a setup to rock and roll!  
 

Dlive
 

[Currently not playing 4 Panel]

So for the next few weeks, months…years? I will be using @Dlive to stream PIU! Why Dlive? I want to trial this as a streaming medium. A decentralized streaming platform sounds pretty ideal. I have had my streams muted on Twitch at times and streaming music games can be a real pain.
 

So to capture my progress in the game and make some gains I will be streaming PIU on Dlive on a regular basis. This will hopefully keep me motivated and I’ll be able to work this into some regular content here on Steem. My fitness has been pretty shot as of late so i'll be combining an exercise regime / diet and dance gaming to supplement  : )
 

I will be posting stream links to my sessions very soon.
Just need to tweak my settings a bit first…
 

Looking forward to meeting fellow Steemian gamers! If you guys play any rhythm games hit me up : ) Looking to try some new ones.  
 

Peace.
