A theater or a club. An auditorium or an arena. Even a cypher or an open mic. But there are some stages that can't be found in just any city. Sometimes, they can be found right in your own home.

Super Nintendo. Sega Genesis. Xbox. Wii. And everything in between.

Every time you perform, think of it as "leveling up." Moving on to the next stage…so to speak.

Your genre is more than role-playing. Here, the role you play is you. Staying true to your art and your craft.

Don't see everything in first-person, but see everything through every person you meet.

Every night you'll get owned. Owned by the audience. Owned by their eyes and ears.

Here, there are no joysticks. Just stick to whatever joys you find in life.

And it doesn't matter if you're wired or wireless. Always stay connected. To your fans. Your friends, And most importantly, your family.

And the more points you have, the better. Points that hit close to home. Points that point out your successes, your flaws. Pointing out who you truly are.

Whether you're a rockstar or a major league gamer, there are always stages to your development. New goals to set. New audiences to reach.

You're right where you belong, so start with something big. Cause no matter what stage you're at in life, you're left with a select few. Those select opportunities. Those select moments.

Get on your level.
