Gaming has always been more than just a pastime for me—it’s my escape from the chaos of the world. Ever since I was eight years old, when I got my first console, the original Xbox, I knew I had found something that would stick with me for life. No one had to introduce me to gaming; it was just something that clicked, something that felt right. From that moment on, I dove headfirst into countless virtual worlds, playing hundreds of different games. While I love RPGs, my top favorites have always been Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, and Fortnite.
But not every game is for me. There’s one in particular that I can’t stand—Tetris. I despise that game with a passion. Maybe it’s the way those blocks just keep falling, forcing you to think ahead in ways that feel unnatural to me. Or maybe it’s just because it never gave me the kind of thrill that games like Black Ops 6 do, a game I take pride in being very good at.
Discovering My Passion
I remember the first time I truly lost myself in a game. It was late at night, and I was playing GTA for hours, completely absorbed in the open world, doing missions, driving around aimlessly, and just enjoying the freedom the game provided. That feeling of being in control, of exploring a world with endless possibilities, was something I had never experienced before in real life. Gaming became my way of escaping reality whenever things got overwhelming.
Over the years, I expanded my horizons, playing different genres and discovering new challenges. Call of Duty became my go-to competitive game, a place where I could test my skills against others, prove myself, and constantly improve. I wasn’t always the best, but I was determined to get better. The thrill of a close match, the satisfaction of a well-executed strategy, and the camaraderie of playing with teammates made it all worth it.
The Birth of Bigsavage
As I grew older, gaming remained my sanctuary. But at some point, I started to realize that gaming could be more than just an escape—it could be a career. I had seen others build entire lives around gaming, creating content, streaming, and making money while doing what they loved. And I thought, why not me?
That’s when I decided to become a streamer. I knew I had the skills, the personality, and the passion to make it work. I wanted something of my own, something that I could build from the ground up. I didn’t want to spend my life working for someone else, following someone else’s rules. Streaming gave me the freedom to be my own boss, to create my own brand, and to do something that genuinely made me happy.
I created my Twitch channel, Gic_dasavage, and adopted the name Bigsavage. It wasn’t just a name; it was a statement. It represented my confidence, my determination, and my refusal to back down from any challenge.
The Challenges of Streaming
Starting out as a streamer wasn’t easy. There were nights when I streamed to just a handful of viewers, sometimes none at all. It was discouraging, but I knew that success wouldn’t come overnight. I had to put in the work, stay consistent, and keep improving my content.
I spent hours researching, watching successful streamers, learning what worked and what didn’t. I upgraded my setup, improved my gameplay, and started engaging more with my audience. Slowly but surely, I started gaining traction. More people started tuning in, chatting, and following my channel.
But streaming wasn’t just about playing games; it was about entertainment. I had to bring energy, interact with viewers, and create an experience that people wanted to come back to. I learned to balance my personality with my gameplay, to be both competitive and entertaining.
The Road to Success
As my channel grew, so did my ambitions. I didn’t just want to be a streamer; I wanted to be one of the best. In the next five years, I see myself standing among the top streamers, creating high-quality content, collaborating with other big names, and giving back to my community.
I want to build a brand that goes beyond just gaming. I want to create a space where people can come together, have fun, and feel like they belong. I want to use my platform to inspire others, to show them that they can achieve their dreams if they put in the work.
Streaming isn’t just about playing games for me; it’s about building something bigger than myself. It’s about creating a legacy, about making a name for myself in the gaming world.
Giving Back to the Community
One of the biggest goals I have as a streamer is to give back to the community. I know what it’s like to struggle, to feel like you don’t have many opportunities. That’s why I want to use my success to help others, whether it’s by supporting up-and-coming streamers, donating to charities, or organizing gaming events for people who don’t have access to the same opportunities I had.
I believe that gaming has the power to bring people together, to create friendships, and to change lives. If I can use my platform to make even a small difference, then it will all be worth it.
The Future of Bigsavage
Looking ahead, I know the journey won’t be easy. There will be challenges, setbacks, and moments of doubt. But I’m ready for it. I’m ready to grind, to put in the hours, and to do whatever it takes to make my dream a reality.
I see myself expanding beyond just Twitch, creating content on YouTube, collaborating with other gamers, and even launching my own gaming brand. I want to explore new opportunities, whether it’s through sponsorships, merchandise, or hosting events. The possibilities are endless, and I’m excited to see where this journey takes me.
This isn’t just a dream for me; it’s a goal. One that I’m willing to work for, one match, one stream, one piece of content at a time.
This is just the beginning of my story. The name’s Bigsavage, and I’m here to make my mark.
