Our Story

Every great adventure begins with a passion.

Side of Gaming was born from a lifelong love of gaming and the desire to create a place where gamers of all skill levels can learn, connect, and enjoy the hobby we all love. What started as a personal interest quickly grew into a vision of building a community that focuses on more than just wins, rankings, and highlights.

At Side of Gaming, we believe gaming is about the experience. It’s about the friendships formed through multiplayer matches, the stories that pull us into new worlds, and the excitement of discovering new games, gear, and strategies.

Founded by Scott Thompson, Side of Gaming was created to share honest reviews, helpful guides, gaming insights, streaming tips, and real-world experiences from a gamer who genuinely enjoys the journey. We don’t claim to be professional esports champions or gaming experts who know it all. Instead, we strive to provide practical information, authentic recommendations, and content that helps fellow gamers get the most from their gaming experience.

Whether you’re searching for your next favorite game, looking for streaming advice, exploring gaming equipment, or simply wanting to connect with like-minded players, you’re welcome here.

Gaming is constantly evolving, and so are we. As our community grows, our mission remains the same: to create a place where gamers can learn, share, and enjoy every side of gaming.

Thank you for being part of the journey.

Welcome to Side of Gaming.
