Stackbradford to Host First Charity Stream for Disabilities
Stackbradford to Host First Charity Stream for Disabilities
Meet Mike, or StackBradford as he is referred to by his chat. Stack is a full-time Twitch Partner that mostly plays Street Fighter V but has recently garnered interest in “Speed Running” Resident Evil 1. On top of this newfound hobby, he’s also starting to Charity Stream! We interviewed Mike to help share his story and learn why he is inspired to raise funds for our disabled community.
A Brand New Experience
Although this is his first charity stream, we can definitely feel his excitement and enthusiasm streaming for Dreamscape Foundation, “To be frank, I enjoy everything involved with streaming. If I’m able to be creative in a new process as well as help out a community that needs it, all the better!” Mike explained.
If there’s one thing to guarantee for the stream, it would be the proficiently in Street Fighter V. As far as interactions with his donors, Stack also plans to add challenge incentives, that will make his gaming experience unique to the stream. It looks like we can expect a fun pack stream heading our way!
Humble Beginnings
Mike’s emergence into the gaming world is not unlike most gamers. Stack and his brother were introduced to fighting games from their Father, but his love for games didn’t blossom until the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Tournament in 2012. When he came across the winner’s finals of the tournament and saw Daigo’s playstyle, it was that exact moment where he decide to take it to the next level.
Another highlight for Mike is the play-by-play calls, “I honestly have to say the commentary is what made me decide to want to perform in front of other people. The genuine excitement and the completely foreign terminology really made me want to understand what it was all about. James Chen and Ultradavid have done more than they know!” he added.
Recently Stack Bradford also joined Community Effort Orlando, or mostly known to the gaming community as “CEO”. The event is an annual Fighting Game Tournament organized by The Fighting Game Community in Orlando. For Mike, it was an interesting experience as this was his first offline event after beginning to stream full time. His competitive reputation in CEO and YouTube brought along mixed responses, but he says he doesn’t regret any of it.
When asked what inspires him the most, he confidently said that his wife gives him the reason, but the things that get him out of bed in the morning are typically a quote from Jocko Willink, or [life] achievement from someone like Vasyl Lomachenko.
“There is only hard work, late nights, early mornings, practice, rehearsal, repetition, study, sweat, blood, toil, frustration, and discipline.”
– Jocko Willink

Stream Team Knights Of The Order raises funds for Disability Awareness
Stream Team Knights Of The Order raises funds for Disability Awareness
We at Dreamscape know a thing or two about Charity Streaming. It’s an enormous task for an individual to raise funds all while maintaining an entertaining persona for hours on end. Dreamscape is happy to announce our collaboration with, not only one streamer, but a group from a recently created Stream Team! They’re called The Knights Of The Order, and at the helm of the ship is Twitch Partner TheOrderOfDylan. We sat down and got to know Dylan, and we’re excited to share his story.
A Pandemic Metamorphosis
As the pandemic began, many of us have been working at home now under lots of different circumstances. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Dylan started as a moderator and video editor for Twitch Partner / Solar Stream CEO Lowco. At the moment, our streamer friend is taking on new, exciting projects. Some of which include streaming and creating a stream team!
As Told By Dylan
Dylan started his Twitch journey as AsToldByDylan (a reference to the Nickelodeon show As Told By Ginger). But when he settled into Star Wars content, Dylan opted to change his name to reflect the name of his community: The Order of Dylan!
His channel specializes in carefree gameplay with a highly interactive, engaging chat. The content he provides includes talks about life, food, Marvel, and everything in between, all while playing games with all of his viewers. He also takes viewers on IRL stream adventures to Disney World every now and then.
Surpassing The Odds
Dylan’s father suffered from complete renal failure and was told he may not make it past dialysis. Four years later, he received a kidney transplant and has lived a healthy life ever since. His story, and the story of other achievers, motivate Dylan to push past the difficult challenges in life and persevere.
Dylan believes everyone, regardless of circumstance, deserves the opportunity to be successful and have the tools they need to succeed. Dylan added, “I lived with a visually impaired friend in college who struggled to find the right equipment to get through many of his digital technology classes. An organization like Dreamscape spoke to me personally and is a cause I couldn’t wait to get behind.”
Knights Of The Order Event Details
Our campaign will begin with TheOrderOfDylan on December 11, 2021, at 12:00 pm, followed by _, _ and _. They will be playing Knockout City, a fun, fast-paced multiplayer game, along with viewers from the community! From there, the following Knights members will be streaming everything from Art, to Halo Infinite, and more! All with their own unique incentives!
Dylan added, “I am excited to work with Dreamscape to help provide the disabled community with the accessibility and access to tools they need to build a better tomorrow for themselves and the world!”
