Not that she’s uber-competitive or anything. Virgil quickly burned through what she describes as “kiddie games” like Super Mario and Goof Troop before challenging herself with first-person shooters in Call of Duty and Halo, quickly becoming known as Thee Gamer amongst her friend group. After her mom noticed that her youngest would pass hours of the day watching her older siblings shout and cheer playing video games, she purchased her baby girl her very own console (a classic Super Nintendo), and then, the love affair began. (Sorry, Mom.) But Virgil isn’t just your everyday streamer - she’s actually creating a more equitable, more inclusive gaming space through the creation of custom content.Įven with the very serious childhood career goal of practicing law in mind, Virgil, also known as Xmiramira online, has always been drawn to the world of gaming. Because as it turns out, we had the cheat codes all along, and it is in fact totally possible to play video games all day and all night for a living. “I never thought this was a thing.” By “this,” she means a career as a professional gamer and streamer. “I wanted to be a damn lawyer,” laughs Amira Virgil during a recent Zoom interview.
