Canadian Gamer Girl Amy “Asensasian”

Hi Amy, it’s a great pleasure to feature you on SimplySxy. Please share with our readers a little about yourself and where you’re from?

Thank you so much for having me! I’m a 26 year old girl who loves to play video games. My parents are from Taiwan, hence my gamer name “asensasian”. I am born and raised in Toronto, Ontario and I’m proud to be Canadian.

When did your interest in gaming began?

I started gaming in February 2015. Although I’ve always had an interest in gaming, my parents never let me own a console. I owned a Gameboy colour though and got my first taste of Nintendo! Ever since then I was kind of hooked. I played a few casual games when I was growing up and remembered envying my cousin and eventually my roommates in university. Besides the classic games, my first real taste of a competitive game was Super Smash Bros. I thought hey, now that I’m on my own, it’s about time I get myself a console… or two!

Which are some of your all time favorite games?

I love to play Nintendo games… although I must say they are quite rage inducing. I am a kid at heart and think these games are extremely fun and quite addictive. My favourite games right now would be Super Smash Bros 4, Splatoon and Super Mario Maker. I also enjoy PS4 games. Just Cause 3 is extremely fun, but difficult! I also love to play Mortal Kombat X and Grand Theft Auto V. Some PC games I play are Minecraft and Hearthstone.

How long have you been on Twitch and when can we usually catch you?

I’ve only been streaming on Twitch since February of 2015. I’m almost at my one year mark! I try to follow a regular streaming schedule and will update my viewers on social media should I not be able to. You can catch me Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9PM EST, Saturdays at 5PM EST and Sundays at 2PM EST!

What is a typical day like for you?

My typical day would be to commute to work at the Federal Government of Canada. I work 8.5 hours a day, go home to eat and shower and then stream on Twitch for the remainder of my night. It can definitely be tiring, but it is fun to hang out with all my fans and viewers and as much as I love sleep, it is totally worth it. I would love to be able to game and stream full time… and will hopefully be able to one day! Until I’m able to financially support myself, I’m going to have to do what everyone else does and put in the grind!

Do you have any hobbies?

Gaming is my hobby! Other than that though, I love to watch trashy television like Real Housewives (LOL don’t judge!) and more “serious” shows such as the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. I’m also an avid reader and read as often as I can. I would have to say my favourite genre would be dystopian novels. I guess my other hobby would be every other girl’s hobby… I love to shop and get my hair done.

 If you had the opportunity to learn anything in the world, what will it be?

I’d love to learn how to be an entrepreneur. A happy life to me is to be successful at what you love to do. If I’m able to learn anything in the world it would be to learn as much as I can about the fundamentals of business so that one day, I’ll have the courage to take the ultimate leap of faith.

Are there any games you are eagerly looking forward to playing in 2016?

Most my viewers know me by now as the type of gamer that has to try the game before I can decide whether I like it or not. There are definitely some games I’m looking forward to trying out in 2016, one being Street Fighter 5. I love fighting games. Pokkén Tournament also looks wicked fun, I mean Pokémon and fighting… what’s not to love? Tom Clancy’s The Division also caught my eye. Usually players destroy the world in open-world games, but in this one you have to restore the order. I’m interested in seeing how that will all play out. I as well as many are also anticipating a new Legend of Zelda game for the Wii U. Can’t forget the classics!

Thank you for taking your time to answer our questions on SimplySxy. One question before we end, how do you define “sexy”? 

Sexy is classy. To me, sexy is simply knowing who you are and owning it.
