Lowco's Blog

In March 2018 Lowco participated in  #FOURtniteWorldRecord , an initiative put together by One List, One Life to break the world record for most people signing up to be bone marrow donors in a day. One List, One Life partnered with Fortnite to encourage streamers to promote the FOURtniteWorldRecord hashtag to help spread awareness and get more people to sign up. Lowco was fortunate enough to be featured on the front page of Twitch for 2 hours on the same day of the record attempt, so she was able to spread the message about the record attempt to thousands of Twitch viewers. In case you were wondering, the initiative was a resounding success, 3,175 people signed up to be bone marrow donors!

Lowco has a veteran of Battle Royale games, logging over 1,000 hours between H1Z1 King of the Kill and Playerunknown’s Battlegrounds, and many more in Fortnite. The team behind Free Fire: Battlegrounds hoped to capture the same gameplay dynamic for the growing mobile gaming scene. The game can be played on either Android or iOS and features 50 players looting, fighting, pushing toward the final circle and remain the last one standing. Lowco spent a few hours with the game and assimilated quickly to the familiar scenario, and was able to bring take out two opponents right at the end of the match to seal a perfectly executed victory, which can be seen below. Viewers interesting in taking a closer look at the game were sent to the game website.

In January 2018 Lowco participated in a charity marathon stream set up by PlayerUnkown's Battlegrounds. The event ran around the clock from January 29th through February 2nd to support Children's Miracle Network Hospitals through Extra Life . PUBG Partners streamed on the PlayBattlegrounds Twitch channel in 4 hour blocks throughout the marathon. Lowco had a very successful session, raising over $1,000 and winning her second match of the stream! Over $475,000 was raised across the entire event! Total amount raised for Children's Miracle Network Hospitals: $1,034.23

In January 2018 Lowco streamed 3 sessions of Black Squad, a game published by NEOWIZ. Black Squad is a free to play, early access, first person multiplayer shooter. While not the first game of its type, Lowco had positive things to say about the game during her sessions. Her praise focused on how easy it was to get used to the feel of the game, and the unique maps, however, she did note that the user interface and multiple currency types, both of which seemed too complicated. Still, she highly recommended that anyone interested in first person shooters should download the game and give it a go. Here are few select highlights from her Black Squad sponsored streams:

Lowco is a regular in the survival/crafting game genre, and she has been playing ARK: Survival Evolved since it first became available via early access. Living amongst dinosaurs is a fantasy many of us have had, and ARK makes it all too real. In December 2017, she had the chance to do several sponsored streams for the ' Aberration ' expansion pack. The DLC takes the already raucous realm of ARK and removes the protective shell around the planet that we call the atmosphere. The result is a world blighted by radiation and roamed by mutated predators. Viewers were endlessly entertained by encounters with dinos which had the habit of ending quite suddenly for Lowco. Despite the many untimely deaths, Lowco remains a big fan of ARK and the Aberration DLC was deemed well worth the purchase for the revised world and added challenge.

Lowco loves her quirky games as much as any others, and she found a gem in Uurnog Uurnlimited . The 2D Indie Platformer grabbed Lowco and the viewers with its simple controls balanced by a world littered with turrets, portals, and other objects to interact with creating limitless possibilities in each level. Lowco was smiling every minute of her two hours whilst stealing (saving?) the cute animals spread throughout the game, even when she was unintentionally teleporting herself, or finding herself in the wrong place at the wrong time .
