Jumping Back Into Gaming Videos

July always starts a slump for me regarding creating videos, especially gaming videos. I spend much of that month on Cape Cod and am not at my recording setup so I get behind and for things that happen daily in gaming, that tends to get me way behind. Viewers drop off and more. So, seeing the numbers drop off can be depressing and that starts me thinking is the hard work worth it. So, I hit a slump. With everyone back at school I have more time to work on these videos and so I’m getting back into it. The season is finishing up for Fortnite and that means a new one is starting soon and I have another chance to rebuild my audience. Along the way I lost my setup on my old computer, replaced that computer with a faster one to make better videos, experimented with different programs to get the best output and I think I am finally there. So, here’s to keeping on.

New Gamer Themed Water Bottles from Zak Designs

Zak Designs sent me four of their new gamer water bottles for free to use and review. Opinions are my own.

I love ice cold water. What I love even more is filling a water bottle and adding ice and an hour later still having ice cold water to drink. That is why I love the Stainless Steel water bottles from Zak Designs. I was sent Pac-Man and a Minecraft 24 oz stainless steel water bottles. These not only look great but are so well made. The bottle is made of food-grade 18/8 stainless steel, and the lid is made from plastic and silicone. It has a capacity of 24 ounces and measures 4.27 inches by 3.3 inches wide and 8.4 inches tall.

Because they have double-wall construction and vacuum insulation they will keep iced drinks cold for longer. Another thing to consider is that condensation won’t form on the outside of the insulated bottle. This means that you’re not going to get water rings or slippery sides. Also the water bottles themselves have a textured exterior that makes them easier to grip and adds a fun, fashionable flair.

You’ll have no trouble filling these babies up with ice, either. They feature a wide mouth opening that makes adding ice easy. The screw-on lid has a silicone gasket so it won’t leak, and the silicone band on the outside helps with grip to make sure it’s tightly closed. The lid is attached to the water bottle with a strap to prevent it from getting lost. The travel water bottle can be carried by hand with the built-in strap, or clipped to a backpack or bag.

I was also sent two 36oz water bottles made from durable Tritan material. These water bottles also feature the wide mouth opening and the silicone screw-on lids. The bottles are textured on the outside and feature great looking graphics. My kids are crazy about minecraft and were so excited for these new water bottles.
