What is SpecialEffect?

How do I sign up or help?

You can sign up to do your own stream via the GameBlast21 website. They’ve got a whole host of resources to help you get started.

If you don’t fancy hosting your own stream, don’t worry — there’s plenty of other ways to help out. You can help spread the word by sharing all things GameBlast21 on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. There are lots of streams to watch and support over the GameBlast weekend, even dropping in to leave some words of encouragement is wonderful. Just search for the GameBlast21 tag on Twitch.
