Do you recognize the gamer in this Google Fiber ad? She’s from Charlotte.
As Google Fiber buries increasingly more cable in Charlotte, it is working hard to attract new customers. A recent ad campaign by the internet provider features gamers from across the country, including one from the Queen City.
Keep your eyes peeled for Morgan Nixon — known online as bettynixx — who is featured in an ad alongside her dog, Sasha. Morgan is a pricing analyst by day who spends her free time skating around north Charlotte and streaming gameplay online. CharlotteFive caught up with the Charlotte gamer for a few questions.
How did you get into gaming?
I got into gaming as a child. The earliest console that I can remember having is a Gameboy. More recently as an adult, I began streaming honestly on a whim. I already loved playing my Playstation 4 and thought I would give livestreaming my gameplay a shot.
How do you connect with your followers while you’re gaming/streaming?
While streaming, I typically use current events or mental health checks to connect with my viewers/followers. I have a Discord server for my following/community where we chat throughout the day, hold movie nights and/or game together.
What is your all-time favorite video game?
My all-time favorite game is the Monster Hunter series. I have put thousands of hours into the franchise.
How did you come up with the name bettynixx?
My screen name was my first gamertag lol. I have a love for the character Betty Boop. Nixx comes from my last name. I put those two together to create bettynixx. Pretty simple, lol.
Anything else you’d like us to know?
Along with gaming, my content includes beauty and some of my skating progress. I hope to capture different audiences by doing the things that I love and sharing them.
