Wesley Stephens

The headset, mics and audio gear behind my streams. Clear voice, good game sound, nothing that breaks the bank. If chat can hear me fine, it's on this list.

The gear behind my Twitch streams (stephens_gaming_101). Nothing fancy, just budget picks that sound good, look good and don't break the bank. If you're starting out streaming, this is where I'd start.

What I cook with between streams. Cheap, simple gear that makes real food fast, plus the SG101 rib rub behind my Spawn & Sizzle recipes.

My own Stephens Gaming 101 products. Each one only needs about 17 to 27 preorders before it goes into production, so every preorder actually gets it made. Rubs, steamers and focus fuel, all designed by me in Springfield.

My MTAC weekend in Nashville: where I stay, who to call, and where to go if you get sick. Travel tip: your best bet is flying into Nashville International (BNA), since the Sheraton where the con is held has a shuttle. Skip Greyhound. The area around the downtown Nashville station felt unsafe last time and we got harassed and threatened there, and I was almost mugged at the Memphis Greyhound, so be careful if your route runs through there.

The snacks I keep next to the controller on stream nights. Sweet, salty, and easy to eat one handed so you never have to pause the game.

What's in my cup on stream nights. Cold, bubbly, and enough caffeine to carry a late night ranked grind. Grab a 24 pack so you're never stuck mid session with nothing to drink.

The everyday stuff that keeps me fresh between streams. Teeth, hair, grooming and a few home basics, all cheap, all easy to restock, and all things I actually use.

My go-to gaming gear from the Stephens Gaming 101 stream. Controllers, headsets, chairs, desk setup and the games I keep coming back to, whether you play casually after work or grind ranked all night. Every pick on here is gear I recommend.
