This week on Game Start Radio Live, we kick off our Gunner Girl Gamer Series 2026! This week features Kurleyangel, a fighting game player, tournament organizer, and community builder who wears a lot of hats without making a big show of it. Alongside streaming, she’s been a manager for The Sweets Events and served as Secretary for Too Ugly Esports. She is currently a tournament organizer for IronFistMonthly. We talk about how she got into streaming, the games she’s been spending time with lately, and what it looks like to balance competition, organization, and just kicking back with friends in a space that’s often louder than it needs to be.Instead of rushing through headlines, we slow things down and talk about the person behind the stream. How it started, what’s keeping things fun, and how to stay grounded in a space that loves loud opinions.We discuss dudes being weird in these spaces, have some conversations surrounding Xbox's current state of affairs and how we take on criticism from people in the gaming space.It's an great conversation. Super candid and a lot of fun. I really enjoyed this episode.💬 If you enjoyed the conversation, drop a comment and let us know which answer hit the hardest.👍 Like the video🔔 Subscribe for more live shows and guest conversations📡 Game Start Radio airs live every Sunday at 6 PM EST at twitch.tv/gamestartradio

Another episode of Game Start Radio Live, another night of catching up, checking the news, and talking games without losing our minds over them.This week’s theme is simple: You Hate It, We Get It.

We talk through that mindset while covering a packed slate of industry news, subscription updates, and what’s actually worth playing right now.💬 Sound off in the comments.
