SonicFanGames Hosts Charity Stream to Support Coronavirus Efforts
As April is halfway past, and the summer is coming up quick, the weather is warming and the sun is shining. Kid’s should be out playing and life should be good! But as we all are aware things will be different this year. With the Coronavirus pandemic sweeping not only the US but the world, it leaves us all worrying and wondering when better days will come. In addition, shutdowns and social distancing requirements are stranding people at home and it seems as if there is nothing we can do to help. Thankfully, the amazing team at Sonic Fan Games HQ (SFGHQ) knows there are ways to help others and socialize all while staying safe! This Saturday April 18th, they will be hosting a special group charity stream event with all funds going towards supporting the Coronavirus relief efforts! In this article, we will go over all the details of the event and provide some helpful information about the virus and what you can do to stay safe!Let’s Meet Sonic Fan Games HQ and the Artists
Sonic Fan Games HQ has been around for years and is one of the largest resources for fan gaming around. Specializing in engines, sprites, music, gameplay, levels, gimmicks, and just about everything else, their community grows by the day! Additionally, every year since 2000, they have hosted the Sonic Amateur Games Expo. An online event for Sonic the Hedgehog fangame developers to chat online and to demonstrate finished and unfinished games they are developing. This year, they are taking their online event in a different direction! In response to the horrific conditions we are facing today, SFGHQ is hosting a live Charity Art Stream on their Youtube Channel with all proceeds going to Direct Relief, an organization established to aid in Coronavirus relief! On Saturday April 18th beginning at 8:30pm Eastern (7:30pm Central and 5:30pm Pacific), 4 artists will be coming together on stream to create custom doodles and drawings based on the requests of all donors! These artists include @kittzuniku, @Clark_Toons, @pics_pixels, and @Cp_Chan. For a small $5 donation any available artist will take your request and complete the drawing right then and there! Taking things a step further, for $15 they will allow you to request which artist you want specifically to bring your imagination to life! The requests do not need to be Sonic related or even gaming related, the only thing they ask is to keep all request appropriate for all audiences!!What is the Coronavirus
Coronavirus, aka COVID-19. We hear the name on every news channel nationwide, but many people still do not know exactly what it is. In short, COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that can spread easily from person to person. Since the first official US case of COVID-19 in January of this year, the number has skyrocketed into the hundreds of thousands! According to the CDC, “COVID-19 is spreading from person to person in parts of the United States. Risk of infection with COVID-19 is higher for people who are close contacts of someone known to have COVID-19, for example healthcare workers, or household members. Other people at higher risk for infection are those who live in or have recently been in an area with ongoing spread of COVID-19.” The most important thing is to watch for symptoms and take measures to protect not only yourself from others but others from you, as some people may never even know they are carrying the virus!What to Look for and How to Stay Safe
The symptoms of COVID-19 can vary in severity from case to case. The most common symptoms are fever, cough, and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, the virus (being a respiratory illness) can lead to more serious complications ranging from pneumonia to multi-organ failure, and is some cases death. But don’t let this scare you, it is important to know the worsts so we can better prepare and protect ourselves! There are a number of things you can do to keep yourself protected and minimize your chances of contracting the virus. Similar to other respiratory illnesses, the CDC recommends the following precautionary steps:- Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol if soap and water are not available.
- If possible, cover your mouth and nose area when in public with a protective cover/mask.
Current Available Treatments
Currently, there are no specific treatments for the Coronavirus. Scientists and Doctors are actively studying and researching different options to find a vaccine. Right now, the best thing medical professionals are doing to help those infected is treating the symptoms. A good number of complications and deaths that have happened are a result of severe symptoms (leading to pneumonia or organ failure) and not from the virus itself. While we all try to stay safe and push through these troubling times, it is important for us all to stay strong and remember that every little bit helps. So do what you can to protect yourself and others and when able support our medical professionals on the front lines and those battling for their lives! By taking part in events like Sonic Fan Games HQ’s upcoming charity stream are the perfect way to keep your distance while still socializing and coming together to make a difference to those in need! We hope everyone is able to tune in and check out the amazing works of art Sonic Fan Games HQ’s 4 artists will be creating! So, remember to mark your calendars for Saturday April 18th at 8:30pm Eastern (7:30pm Central and 5:30pm Pacific) and show your support in our greatest time of need! To keep up with Sonic Fan Games HQ please give them a follow and join in on their discussions on Twitter, Main Website and their open Forums Page.

BillTheConquerer Takes Over Dreamscape’s Next Charity Stream
While Bill (AKA BillTheConquerer) is not new to the gaming world, he is however new to the world of Twitch. Bill has been streaming on Twitch for about 2 months now, and after only 4 days of streaming he was able to hit affiliate status. Which for those of you who are not as familiar with streaming, affiliate is a program within Twitch that helps streamers to get paid for their work. Bill has worked on 4 different startups in the gaming industry helping people make a career out of doing what they love. Using the skills he learned, he is able to help people better market their streams and turn it into a business that can actually turn them a profit they can support themselves off of.A Long Time Gamer
Bill has been playing video games for years, but he does not consider himself a competitive gamer. He plays mostly for the joy of gaming. Bill says, people do not come to his stream to watch his skills, while he is a good gamer folks often come to socialize with him and ask him various questions about his stream or how to better their own stream. When asked what he enjoys most about streaming Bill says, he really enjoys the social aspect of streaming, and he appreciates the raw honesty of it all. The internet is a place where almost everything is either censored or filtered. It is nice to have a space where people can express emotion and interact with people in real time in a way that is unfiltered and unscripted. This kind of environment really allows you to see who people really are and how they react to situations that may arise.An Effort to Support Dreamscape
This Saturday Bill has graciously offered to partner with us for another charity stream! Bill is looking forward to the charity stream partnership with Dreamscape as it’s a chance to give back to the community that has given him so much. He feels he has been very blessed in his life, and streaming has been such a great opportunity for him, so why not use it to give back! What better way to do so than to raise funds to give a disabled man the tools he needs to regain his independence and freedom. But Bill and the Dreamscape Foundation put their heads together to come up with a way to give back to Bill’s community! All donors will receive a number of thank you prizes and be entered into our raffle drawing for Amazon Gift Cards!

24-Hours of Splucy: Dreamscape’s Next Charity Stream
24-Hours of Splucy: Dreamscape’s Next Charity Stream
Dreamscape Foundation is proud to announce its next upcoming Charity Stream event! Partnering up with us this time around is Twitch Streamer Splucy (AKA Lucy), who will be putting on an incredible 24-hour stream! Complete with prizes and fun incentives, Lucy is ready to not only support those in need, but to do something extra for her community and put on a stream they’ll love. Now before we dive into the event details, let’s take a minute to find out where the Splucy channel began.How Lucy became Splucy
Lucy began her streaming career on Youtube not knowing much, if anything, about what she was doing. After a while, she saw a longtime friend post about Twitch and decided to check it out. After asking her friend about it, he encouraged her to try it and helped answer all her questions. So, she jumped right into it, not know what to expect and the Splucy Twitch Channel was born. Fast forward 8 short months later, Lucy’s channel is booming! So much so, it led her to making the decision of her life. Lucy recently decided to leave her day job to follow her heart and passion and on November 1st became a fulltime Twitch Streamer! Now as a fulltime Streamer, Lucy is looking to kick things up a notch and take her production to the next level. With an active and constantly growing community, she is always changing things up, doing new and exciting streams. For example, being from beautiful Australia, Lucy recently put on a mobile beach day stream with her pup Balto. Whether she is gaming or Just Chatting, Lucy loves interacting with her community and making it a place people feel at home. To her, the social aspect that you can mix with gaming is what makes streaming worth it.Another chance to give back to those in need
While fulltime streaming may be new to Lucy, fundraising and volunteering are anything but. In the past, she has worked with a few organizations to help any way she could. From preparing meals for and playing games/socializing with the elderly to event planning, social media management and photography for a local parish, she has done it all. When asked why she does it, her response was simple, “it’s just a good feeling”. To elaborate, knowing that her actions can help and make a difference to someone in need is reward enough. But her volunteer efforts don’t end there! Last June, she brought her fundraising to Twitch for the first time to raise money for the Children’s Hospital Foundation. Now, Lucy is ready to do it again! This time for the Dreamscape Foundation’s Holiday Giving Campaigns, supporting families and children in need throughout the holiday season. Beginning on Saturday November 30th at 7am EST (8pm AWST), Splucy will be kicking off the 24-hour Charity Stream event! Regardless of what you typically watch on stream, she has a variety of things planned that you’re sure to love. Bouncing back and forth between gaming and Just Chatting, Splucy will be playing an assortment of games ranging from chill and easy going to ones that will have you (and/or her) jumping out of your seat in terror and excitement. Additionally, she won’t be going through it all alone. Throughout the 24 hours Splucy will be joined by other streamers she knows for some group chats and discussions. With a whole lot more planned, it should be an event everyone can enjoy. But what would a Dreamscape Charity Stream be without some amazing gifts and prizes for you to win! All donations will be rewarded with thank you gifts including Dreamscape T-shirts, Steam Keys, Overwatch Sticker sets and Overwatch Heroes Fleece Blankets. But wait… There’s more! Each donation tier also includes entries into our 2 raffle drawings. With the smaller prize being a $50 Amazon gift card and the grand prize of a $100 Amazon gift card! The Holiday/Giving Season has officially begun and we hope you all will tune in this Saturday November 30th to get things started right! We encourage everyone to join and Lucy is especially excited to share this event with her community and all new comers! Regardless of your ability to donate, anyone is welcome and there will be something for everyone to enjoy! To keep up with Lucy and the event, you can follow Splucy’s Twitch Channel, Instagram, Twitter and Youtube. To donate, please click and follow our Tiltify Page. We hope to see you all there to join us in Sharing the Dream! « PreviousNext »TheDramaticPause goes all in for Dreamscape’s next Charity Stream
TheDramaticPause goes all in for Dreamscape’s next Charity Stream
Danny Burns, also known as TheDramaticPause grew up both a longtime multi-sport athlete and video game enthusiast. Standing at 6’4, playing competitive sports always came naturally to him. Playing everything under the sun including basketball and volleyball, but his love for video games was always a good way to relax. “Video games was something I always did. At the end of the day, playing Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Zombies or Halo Reach, or Halo 3 with the buddies online, this is what has always been there for me.” Now a full time twitch streamer, Danny goes above and beyond what his physical body can do! When it comes down to it, Burns has always believed in giving back and helping those in need. Volunteering for multiple organizations in the past, TheDramaticPause is looking to add Dreamscape Foundation to that list! Working together, we will be raising funds to help Sean McDowell, a blind and deaf author, publish his first book. Sean is a man who has experienced a lot in his life, between battling addiction and readjusting to life after sight and hearing loss. Now, sober for over 30 years and having regained his independence, he is ready to help others do the same, using his own life as an example. TLDR: Saturday July 13th, Danny (TheDramaticPause) will be hosting a 12 hour charity stream starting at 9:00 AM EST, with incentives: Prizes and Giveaways galore!TheDramaticPause- The Man, the Myth, the Legend
Danny first learned about Twitch from a friend of his back in 2012 or 2013. They had started a quick scoping clan on Black Ops 2 and began watching some videos for fun. He admits though “I never watched too many videos though, until Overwatch came out.” When Overwatch came out, he turned to Twitch to help improve his skills and to learn more about the game. After deciding against his original idea of going to college for movies, he started working for his family business. But it just wasn’t what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He knew he had to make a change and turned to Twitch streaming. Danny made a smart decision and knew if it was something he was going to do, he had to be all in. So, he spent a year or two researching and learning the ins and outs of streaming. Using the knowledge he gained learning about Twitch, he was ready to kick things off. But he needed to choose his name. It had to be something that people would remember and that meant something to him. He decided to honor his friends from college. They had planned to team up for the Heroes of the Dorm video game tournament but unfortunately never did. Their team name was going to be TheDramaticPause, so after getting permission from the guys, he took over the title and TheDramaticPause Twitch channel was born.What to expect on Stream
Danny is in the process of completing his 12 hour stream challenge. What is that you might ask? Well for the month of July, he will be putting on a 12 hour long stream every single day! He will be playing Fortnite for the majority of his stream but there will be twists. Danny has decided to add a few fun incentives for different donation amounts. Some of the incentives include playing with his mouse inverted, dancing, letting viewers choose his mouse sensitivity, playing with a controller and allowing viewers to play along with him! But the biggest of them all, if someone donates the entire $1,000 goal, he will shave his head clean off, live on stream!!! Additionally, for all those who donate, we have a special thank you prepared. Based off of the amount donated, donors will be placed into tiers and be awarded the following prizes:

Jade Brings a New Creative Style to Dreamscape’s Next Charity Stream
As we prepare for our next Dreamscape Charity Stream, we are proud to announce a first and new twist on our typical event!

Interview with Bill Wagner, Sportswriter at The Game Haus
We at Dreamscape can never predict the amount of support we will receive. A recent successful fundraiser, hosted by Sierra, MissSunshyne, was a mix of effort and passion! After raising a whopping $2,000 for Anita Rutland, we saw an influx of what we like to call “Sharing The Dream”. This is how we connected with Bill Wagner, one of our donors during the event, and an online journalist who writes for The Game Haus. We reached out to Bill to learn more about his interesting background.What is The Game Haus?
Sports and Video Games draw similarities because they both come down to the same question: ‘Do you enjoy the competition?’ That’s where The Game Haus comes, to bridge the gap. TGH was established to provide viewers & readers with an unbiased outlook on everything sports while providing facts that you normally wouldn’t find anywhere else. With the help of skilled and passionate journalists like Bill, TGH is able to provide the most live story developments in both sports and eSports. (Video Game Competitions) To give you a better idea to what types of news they report on, just check out some recent headlines: Overwatch League All-Stars, Pokemon: Metagame Analysis, Timberwolves Begin Coach Search and 2019 NBA Draft Lottery Results. That’s just the start! No matter your preference, there is content there for everybody. From podcasts and interviews to articles and video clips, they have reported on everything!What does a Sportswriter know about Video Games?
We can all agree Bill has a long history in the world of sports but what makes him a credible video game reporter? This story hits closer to home for the journalist. Wagner has always played games, here and there when he could, but when he and his son went to Twitchcon together, it changed his entire perspective. It started as an excuse to spend more time with his son, and they both enjoy their shared interest. Bill reminisced when they used to play old Gameboy games together, collecting all of the Pokemon. While at Twitchcon together, they came across the game Destiny 2 and downloaded the loot-shooter game once back at home. It wasn’t until Bill’s son decided to buy him new downloadable content to play together, that Bill realized he had a new way to bond with his son. His interest started booming as a writer when he decided to go to the Evolution Championship Series (Evo) 2017. (A video game tournament held in Las Vegas, NV every year) While there, Wagner piqued an interest in content creating but did not really know where to start. One thing he did realize, was that eSports needed more content. While he still struggles with speaking, he shares that “there is more than one way to tell a story.” Bill uses his strengths in writing, along with experience in video editing to avert his weakness. He focuses only on his strengths so that quality content will consistently surface. When visiting Las Vegas, he decided to interview as many people as he could, some streaming on his Twitter. Using the interviews as resources, he gathered a few articles sharing what he deems Good Stories! That type of confidence and resourcefulness is one reason why The Game Haus has Bill on board! What started off as a small idea, has now attracted global attention. Today, Bill can say “I do mean world… I’ve talked to people in Zambia, Russia, China, Japan, Mexico, Brazil” Wagner continues, “We just talk about who they are and what they do, gaming and all that.”Your Background is Everything
We noticed when speaking with Bill, that he is a person who follows his dreams, no matter where they may take them. Graduating college in 1995, Bill went on to work retail for a handful of years, shortly thereafter becoming a Blackjack Dealer. During this time, the now video game journalist also began working part-time as an umpire in Softball, Basketball, and Soccer. At the moment, Bill’s main focus is his work as a writer and interviewer for The Game Haus. One of Bill’s favorite moments came April 26, in 2008. The game Wagner was umpiring was a Fastpitch Softball game near his house, Central Washington University against Western Oregon. The sequence of events started when Sara Tucholsky of Western Oregon hit her very first career home run. The story goes: In the excitement, Tucholsky missed first base. The first base coach yells at her to turn around and touch the base. In that moment, Sara’s knee twisted so uncomfortably that she tore her ACL. Any sports fan can tell you that this injury could be a career end-er. Not being able to get up to finish her run around the bases, Sara must have thought she couldn’t finish the home run. This is when two players from Central Washington picked up the seriously-injured girl to help carry her around the bases. They made sure to touch her healthy leg on each base, so that Tucholsky can finish her first career home run.Tiltify Offers a Charitable Spin on Streaming

TikTak Takes on Charity Stream for Dreamscape
Fortnite: Save The World streamer RoundedTikTak is relatively new to the Twitch realm, yet he’s quickly gained the attention of viewers and game developers alike. All it takes is one session to see why. The 30-something-year-old gamer brings to the table an entertaining personality and addictive streaming experience that will remind you of a night out with your favorite crew. But it isn’t always just fun and games on TikTak’s stream. Sometimes he opts to raise money for a good cause. This November he’s using his platform to collaborate with Dreamscape Foundation on a life-changing charity stream to raise money for two brothers with LHON.
