Hey guys!

I created some unique, semi-eSports related content, and I'd like to share in my TL blog! WOOT!

I found this awesome trinket on Amazon and, as I know I see progamers using disposable hand warmers often, I thought this was an amazing find! Great for gamers warming their hands, people living in the cold, plus it doubles as an external battery pack for almost any device! I love this thing!

Check it out:


Here's the capture card I previously unboxed:


Here is my Steelseries Siberia headset unboxing that I previously created:


My YouTube channel where you can find all of my stream VODs, casting, event coverage, and model stuff!

But it is so much more.

It is a dark, murky ocean, with girl blogs lurking beneath the depths. It offers asylum for all those lost and tormented souls who cannot satisfy their cravings for something more in life. A haven for those who are searching but cannot find the answer as to "why."

It is a refuge for the wanderers, the questioners, the bored and the confused. For the highs and lows, and the occasional failure, it offers a chance for redemption.

It embraces you with open arms, calling for you to share all that passes through your mind.

The serious and the trivial. The logical and the absurd.

Clarity found in moments of madness.

Genius discovered in the most unlikely of places.

It is a place we all can call home.

Nice one, I can't seem to find that exact product on amazon.co.uk but I have found something similar. I always wanted a hand warmer that involved less hassle than those click heat things (you need to boil them in water to get them to revert to their pre-warm state) in order to prepare to play drums when it's cold.

That image doesn't work. I tried reverse googling it to see what I was missing, and instead of finding something hilarious, I started feeling a pain where some of my respect for humanity used to be.

Here is the link I bought from:
http://www.amazon.com/EnergyFlux-Rechargeable-Double-Sided-External-4400mAh-Silver/dp/B00A6ZPNSI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1357980694&sr=8-2&keywords=human creations hand warmer

Hopefully that helps, I am not sure what the differences are at Amazon headquarters for different regions! I love it, I agree, the disposable ones and the boil-in-water ones seem so obsolete now that I know something like this exists!

Uh yes you are, you're sponsored by steelseries, and there's a steelseries video in the OP. Also you are advertizing yourself.

I am not sponsored by SteelSeries...? I just reviewed the headset.

When people post things they want people to watch. There is a difference between blatantly advertising just to bait people, and genuinely posting things I think are relevant and that people will enjoy!

That rechargable hand warmer thing looks pretty awesome! As it gets ridiculously cold in my room I need one of these (i've actually had a bottle of water freeze overnight before). I've got two windows, that are more like holes in the wall. lol
also, it's funny how the actual hand warmer kinda looks like a guys deodorant. lol

P.s. i think the red hair > blonde hair
BW. There will always be a special place in my heart for the game I spent 10 years to be mediocre at.

OF COURSE they'll enjoy this gaming related item, this a fucking gaming community. I'm not stupid you know, I'm not one of these sheep that you can call subscribers. You're doing this for MONEY. By the way you'd get a lot more respect from me if you admitted it straight away. Oh wait, you can't or you'd get banned. I can't stand hypocrisy.

Nothing personal, it's just that I l cannot stand all these leechers who try to make money off of youtube videos which most of the time are absolutely horrendous.

Wow you found out how money works, grats(You still have no clue about it). You dont have to watch the content if you dont like it. There is no reason for destructive behaviour. You are actually acting like victims of megan speaks with the tiny difference that here is actual content, a product review, which alot of youtubers do. It's not like google ads throws with money after you, if it would, everyone would make videos and you too.

I make 30 bucks a month from YouTube and less than 150 from streaming. I LOSE money being in this community, rather than being out partying or taking as many bookings as I can. Yes, I would love to make money doing what I love, but if you think a professional model and writer with an established career would switch to eSports to make money, you are delusional. Seriously.

You can accuse me of loving attention, because who doesn't? Money from eSports? Absolutely not. Would be nice, but it is not why I do it. I am not some struggling jobless college student who is streaming for attention and lunch money like a lot of streamers, I do it because I can now that I have built my brand up and my career in modeling enough to afford the time off.

Believe it or not, I don't care. Now you've got the "honesty" and "truth" you were looking for.

Nah, the random prejudices can be annoying, but I get why people assume things. You can't be mad at people for stereotyping, especially when stereotypes ring true so often.

It just gets tiring always feeling like I need to be on guard or defend myself or it spirals into some kind of hate-fest.

No hard feelings for anything. /hug

Thanks to Jibba for not banning me, sorry for making the mods' job even more bothersome. TaraBabcock, please don't be fooled by my username. I have a lot of respect for women; I understand what you mean in your comment about stereotypes and the need to be on guard. Your strength of character is appreciated.

On a handwarming note, Android has a heater app but I'm pretty sure it's terrible for the lifespan of the phone. I kinda wish I'd found this before buying a different non-heater-y external battery for my phone.
