I know a lot of people can't wait to bin off 2020, but I feel like this has been one of my proudest years yet. Not to mention that I'm excited for the months that are still to go!
My year of accomplishments so far...

In January I flew to Poland to witness one of the earliest announced titles for the next-gen, Outriders! I got hands on with the game, enjoyed a bit of mingling and worked on a preview video for #XboxOn.

February was incredibly exciting for me. I fulfilled a bucket list wish by visiting a games developer for the first time. It was a great experience being able to interview a good chunk of the Bleeding Edge team.

The Bleeding Edge Rumble stream in March was my first chance to work with other influencers to pull off a production, and it all came out great (despite my lack of skill in-game

April presented a new challenge for us at #XboxOn as we had to transition to a WFH environment. Everyone pulled together to ensure our content was just as high quality as in our studio. We even debuted ray tracing content on stream for the first time! https://twitter.com/xboxuk/status/1253978283462529024?s=20
And because of that hard work, myself, @samuelofc and @jamesofc were able to deliver the highly anticipated follow-up to one of our signature streams, on schedule in May.

In June I was particularly proud of the work that went in to Xbox On's coverage of Grounded. The videos I worked on netted over 300,000 views on our YouTube channel, which is humbling!

July was BUSY! Early hands-on with Assassin's Creed Valhalla, followed up by more early hands-on with Flight Simulator. Our coverage of that game smashed 100,000 views too, despite my awkward flying.
Our streams transitioned over to Twitch, and @bex_bomb and I even held a viewing party for the July Games Showcase that was seen by almost 2 million people

And although August isn't even done yet, it has been chock full of proud moments for me.
After getting a sneak peek at FIFA 21 during a press event in July, I wrote my first ever published article on the @XboxWire

And of course, just yesterday I streamed the newly released Peaky Blinders game alongside some guest Hollywood talent, Paul Anderson

So, yes, it has been a tough year but I bet you've done some incredible stuff that you can be proud of too!
Meanwhile, it is important to remember that we shouldn't place too much weight on always achieving things in life. It is equally okay to have slower days, weeks, etc.
